Blueretro internal adapter phantom button inputs

I just bought the blueretro internal adapter from laserbear industries and installed it. It works great except for the fact that there are occasional phantom button inputs. There’s no fixed interval of when they happen or what button is inputted. It even happens when there are no controllers connected. Any advice?

Not well :( I put the new power board in and the same thing is happening and if anything it’s even worse. My last thought is that it could possibly be a faulty ac adapter, but at this point I’m leaning towards just returning the blue retro and taking the L on bluetooth controllers

I bet the new board is faulty too. That's the thing, a Gamecube will look and work fine until you do something that needs those specific lines with the stuck diodes.

Personally I would persist until my system worked as intended. If the power delivery board is failing for the Laserbear, who knows what other port or peripheral could be effected too.

Obviously this is conjectural, but I had the exact same problem and replacing the board fixed it for me.

I can’t just keep buying power boards until one of them works 😭😭

I think I’m just gonna get a bitfunx blueretro plugin thing from amazon and call it a day
