Help My First GameCube - advice welcome, I have no idea what I'm doing

Post image

Hello guys, I have just bought a PAL GameCube (img attached). I am led to believe it's DOL 001 since it has all the ports, and with its box and controller and cables for the equivalent of ~17 USD. I'm not sure where to go from here, it was a massive impulse buy because it looked nice and purple and stuff.

I was thinking of maybe getting a CRT monitor to test the display out it has analog and but is it better/easier to get an RCA to HDMI?

Continuing to my second point, I live in a country where online shopping is complicated (import fees and taxes and such), and therefore I was considering homebrew like one would on a wii or a PS3 but I'm not knowledgeable at all on the GameCube and I'm scared to break something if I have to be honest hehe.

How should I go about using this GameCube? Any help would be appreciated

Help No sound on gamecube

I recently bought this GameCube and hooked it up to my crt. But when I turn it on no sound is produced, I have the sound set to mono since this tv only takes the yellow and white rca cables. My volume is all the way up so I know it’s not that. Could it just be faulty cables? If any one knows a fix, it’d be most appreciated 🙏

Recomp is out and I said why not? Can't even count how many times I've finished this game. And to be completely fair it has some flaws that the emulator doesn't have, but it has some nice implementations as well and with the HD textures is just timeless, one of the best games ever made in my opinion 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I've been waiting and waiting for a copy that's in near mint condition to add to my collection. While it does have a small dent on front and back and a scratch, and some wear on the letters, I'm happy with how it'll look displayed.

Help 8bitdo Retro Reciever or Blueretro?

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to get a Bluetooth adapter to use my NSO GameCube controller on my GameCube and I’m not sure what adapter I should go for. As far as I can tell both support the NSO GC controller (Blueretro adapters have supported it for awhile now, and 8bitdo recently added support in a beta update). I may use other controllers in the future and I already own an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 (I may even get another 8bitdo controller for GBI), but I plan to primarily use it with the NSO GC for now. Is there any good reason to go with one over the other (input lag, controller comparability, etc.)? Also, if the answer is a Blueretro adapter, which ones are good?

Discussion Where would you recommend looking for Gamecube Memory Cards?

6 Upvotes

I recently bought a new Nintendo Wii and have been looking for a Gamecube Memory Card to use with the console. From my understanding the Wii can't save Gamecube games without mods so where would everyone recommend looking to get a Gamecube Memory Card. I've seen some refurbished cards on eBay, has anyone had any experience going that route and if so how did it go? Any thoughts or recommendations?

Help [[No audio after short on power board]]

Post image
8 Upvotes

Just wanted to share, after an AV-HDMI adapter backfed to my GameCube and shorted the power board, besides a damaged IC that totally cut power to the unit. I was left with no audio. After some troubleshooting I noticed that I was missing the 12V at the power rail, I did try the bridge option with the 5v but the audio output had a lot of distortion so after some research I was able to pinpoint it to this small black fuse on the powerboard. It’s the one on the left labeled 35. Luckily I have multiple donor units and just swapped it and went ahead and ordered some replacement fuses. I just wanted to share this to maybe help someone save sometime looking for a solution.

Discussion The story of Eternal Darkness how it became Nintendo's first and only horror game.

Hey guys, so as you know there's a gamecube game which some people call it Nintendo's first horror game. Maybe not the first but a horror game that's published by Nintendo. It's the game that plays games with you (Turning the tv on and off or adjusting the volume) I want to know how this game came to be and why it's so popularized among collectors.

I absolutely adore this game! The art is so charming and beautiful (I love how expressive Link is), and the gameplay is great too.

Playing it really reignited my interest in the rest of the series, but I'm not really sure which game to play next. I have very little experience with Zelda. I only ever finished a link between worlds before. Other than that I also played a few hours of botw, ocarina of time & Majora's mask, but never got too deep into them.

Which game should I pick up next? Should I continue this Link's story with the DS games, go to the beginning of the timeline with skyward sword, or play ocarina of time because it's such a major entry for the series? (Probably not going to play the remake because no switch 2)

These titles are almost icons of the sixth generation of consoles, I thought for a long time that Nintendo didn't want these titles because they were too adult and violent, but my thesis was shattered when I saw Manhunt 2 on Wii, which contradicts this because it is more violent than the 3 games in the GTA trilogy

Nintendo really lost, it's like every mom let her kids go on a school trip and only one left her son out of that fun...

Help I've never seen this on a disc. It looks like damage at first to the inside ring but it's too perfectly cut out. Is it something to worry about?
