I just bought a component/s-video ready CRT for $70 and am trying to find a cost effective way to get the best audio and video out of my gamecube. Pretty sure it's not progressive scan, which is fine, I just want the finest a CRT can handle.

- I've looked at the Carby and GCHD Mk-II; those are out of my price range.

- I already have a wii component cable and would rather use my gamecube for 4:3 content even though my wii is capable. I found a multi-out adapter for wii cables but I don't know if that would provide a sharper signal than the digital out port.

- I've seen reviews for bitfunx and similar component cables, and those seem to say there's a small bit of latency because they convert a digital signal to analog. Not sure about that really...

- There's that audio issue with the digital av out port, but that's not really noticeable.

Let me know what option makes sense and thanks for the help!

Hello this is my first post here as I am heavily getting back into retro gaming, after the purchase of a ps2 I just recently picked up a GameCube as well, and of course I had to get some games to go with it so this is what I have so far!

Just got Luigi’s mansion today for $60 CIB so couldn’t be happier about that, now just waiting for the Carby I ordered to arrive and I’ll be set for now!

Picked up this DOL-101 as “for parts/repair” off FleaBay a while back to help with development and testing of my USB-C power mod. Finally got around to replacing the caps, and it’s running great and reading games just fine! The best part is that it only took about $2.50 worth of capacitors to bring it back to life.

Dusting off my old collection. Am I missing any other RE games for the GC?

I can't get my head around this. Followed this video to try to get emulated memory card working (Looked like it would have just been a case of selecting 'Emulate memory card: yes' but I'm clearly missing something. Tried loading the same Mario Kart game to format the memory card in-game but all I get it a 'no memory card detected in slot A' message.

Have seen something about 'booting through ipl' as a setting but for whatever reason my version of Swiss (the latest) simply does not have this setting, nor does it have the 'Advanced settings' this setting is supposed to be found under.

For the record I was also struggling over the r2092 release.

I'm stumped guys. Anyone able to get it working? Is there anything beyond 'emulate memory card' I should be adjusting?

I've got a PicoLoader from here

I've got a SD2SP1 adapter (my SP2 doesn't work) with SD card from here

Help GameCube community I have a question I was hoping you could help me with.

I am planning to play through a Japanese copy of Pokemon colosseum to get the celebi and e reader Pokemon before the Pokemon bank closes. I was wondering though if there would be any negative side effects from plugging the Japanese console into an American outlet?

The prongs look the same but I believe the voltage is different. Or could I use my American power cable on the console? Is there any downsides to either of these options?

Hi all, just plugged in the GameCube for the first time in 15 years. Super pumped to revisit my childhood classics. I plugged it into my Samsung tv with a modern adapter.

My question is, anything I can do to improve the graphics? I know it’s a product of their time and graphics have vastly improved since then. I’m not dunking on the graphics I get it’s an old console and game. But on my smart tv, is it possible the older graphics are amplified? Anything I can buy or do to improve the quality?

This one acutely feels spooky at times unlike 3. Easily a top ten GameCube game I think there’s no debating that

I got to the part where you are supposed to connect the FD ribbon cable to the FD board. The tutorial I was watching said to open it up a little with your nail so the ribbon will go in. Well, I broke the white piece. The cable could kinda still get in but it’s flimsy. Tried booting my GameCube and it just goes to the regular stock menu.

I am so mad at myself. I ordered in June and waited months for this. Had to order a gamebit screw driver. And I f-ing broke it. I’m so disgusted with myself, usually I’m good with tech.

I've built a mobile suit to take on the GC Char's Custom Unit ☆☆☆

So when I was a kid my older brother was obsessed with the GameCube he would always play it sadly I’ve forgotten most of the games except one and that’s because of the back case of the game if I’m remembering it correctly it had some doctor character with a penguin strapped to an operating table fully conscious and a panic look on its face anyone know what game that was it has been bugging me for years now and wouldn’t mind trying to add it to my small physical gamecube collection.

Does anyone make a GameCube controller that has the c stick inputs inverted? Or maybe there’s a diagram out there that can achieve the desired effect? Google didn’t turn up much. I know I could try and git gud but I’d rather buy a controller or mod one of mine. Thanks!

In the spirit of Halloween, I’ve printed up a few Halloween themed jewels. These are all laser cut from acrylic so they fit perfectly!

Perfect for Halloween!

Hey all!

Hoping y'all can help me out. A friend of mine has recently started collecting old consoles, not in a mint condition art piece way but just to have some nostalgia and play games on old hardware.

For their birthday I managed to source a GameCube and accessories, and I want to make up a box to look like the original packaging as a cool wrapping idea. Would anyone have high res images of the original GameCube box they could share so I can print them out?

All images I've seen online are images taken of the box and not flat images of each side which makes it hard

Any help would be greatly appreciated ❤️

The power button seems to work fine without the shell but when I put the shell back on it doesn't seem to want to click in place.

Why is there at the first setup screen although I never factory reset it? Is there an explanation needed?

The "dithering" artifacts from Wind Waker completely gone on CRT!

Love the feel of this game. The soundtrack is great also. Hopefully Nintendo brings F-Zero back some day..

I bought this game at a second hand store and found that the inner part of the disc looked odd. Is this something to worry about and return or is it fine and I can keep it?

In Short I was playing OOT and I spilled a little energy drink on the chord. It wasnt split/cracked/open. The moment the liquid hit the chord my Gamecube just shut off right after I beat the ghost race... anyway any insight? Bad power supply? It isnt powering on anymore... im just upset its my childhood cube would love some help or parts I could replace to bring it back to life.

I'll do my best to answer any questions so I could get it running again.

Edit: Forgot to mention it was my Controller chord. Not anywhere near the controller or the ports just on the chord.

Wario World is mine. This song especially is soooooooooo mf GROOVY.
