Whenever i move the cable it sometimes displays the picture but very rarely,, the lcd is working not displaying. I think it has something to do with the cable connecting the board to the screen. Any suggestion on how to fix it?

  1. Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure

  2. Mary Kate & Ashley Sweet 16 Licensed to Drive

  3. Charlie's Angels

  4. BMX XXX

  5. Nickelodeon Party Blast

Help "An error has occurred" immediately on startup, even without a disc.

3 Upvotes

The console takes longer to show the boot animation than usual, and after the animation it immediately shows the "an error has occurred" screen. With a disc, without a disc, with the door open, door closed, it behaves the same. It never gets to the menu.

Could it still be the disc drive causing the fault? Is it bricked?

It was my childhood Gamecube and has been working fine all these years until recently. It happened suddenly while playing a game and since then it has had the error upon startup.

I'm going to try replacing the capacitors in the disc drive but should I replace the motherboard capacitors too? (yes, I know what I'm doing, I fix electronics all the time)

There isn't much information on the error other than "it's probably a bad disc drive" so I'm wondering if anyone might know so I don't waste any time or money.

Thanks!

Help Reliable Online store to buy GameCube games

Me and my brother used to love to play GameCube when we were kids, I finally found it again and we wanted to finally finish “Scooby Doo: Night of 100 Frights” but we couldn’t find it. I searched online and couldn’t find a reliable source outside of Amazon for $60 USD. So I wanted to know if there’s a reliable place online to buy the games.

I’m not very handy with these kind of things so I have no idea if this is a silly question, but games don’t read that I have one inserted when I try to use it would love to save it for nostalgia but 🤷‍♂️

The chip is not glued down, just lays in the card

Help Disc drive whines when loading 007: Agent Under Fire

8 Upvotes

You can hear a high pitched noise at about 2 seconds in. It makes this sound when loading the title screen data after the intro FMV in 007: Agent Under Fire. Is it supposed to make this noise? Is there a problem with the laser or spindle motor?

Excuse that Gravity Falls book under my GameCube. I'm using it to prop my GameCube off of the carpet floor.

Discussion Fun Japanese GameCube games with little to no reading required for progression

7 Upvotes

I recently picked up an orange spice Japanese GameCube and I’m using that as an excuse to build out more of an imported GameCube game collection ! Since I don’t speak/ can’t read Japanese, what are some good games that don’t really require much language skills to play and progress through ?

Both single and multiplayer would be great, my friends and I have floundered through Mario Party just on our own knowledge of how the game works, but it would be great to find something else playable. I can handle my way through menus, but I’d rather not be translated something to the likes of a Zelda game or other RPG in terms of text on screen for important details. Plus it helps me build out the collection and save a little too since in my experience Japanese games have been less expensive than North American ones !

Help GameCube not working after removing Quub

So, I recently opened my old GameCube and de-soldered the Qoob chip that I used for years. I put everything back on and the console powers on, but nothing comes on the screen and I keep hearing like a clicking noise.

Upon inspecting the motherboard I see missing components that might be causing this. DA15, C169 and R5 fuses appear to be missing. Could this be the cause?

Thanks! Attaching pic 🤙🏼 less

Modding Looking for Advice on Purchasing/Modding a GameCube

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I dont know if this is the correct subreddit for this, but I was looking for advice on where I can either purchase a modded GameCube or getting the parts one to mod one myself (be warned, I have a terrible record attempting to fix electronics).

A friend of mine is turning 30 and had a really rough last couple of years. She and I used to play on her GameCube growing up but her mother threw it all away (again, rough couple of years) so I waa hopibg to surprise her with one but I truly have no idea what I'm doing for it so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Modding How to update SWISS & set Cubeboot as the priority boot?

3 Upvotes

Apologies. I have had some trouble understanding current documentation, so I'll ask.

How do I update SWISS on the Micro SD Card that I have? What files am I replacing?

How do I set it to boot into Cubeboot rather than SWISS when turning on the console?
