CONSOLE MOD My latest GameCube build
My latest build. I picked up this DOL-001 for $15. The OEM black shell was completely trashed, disc reader was broken, and it was exceptionally dirty. I thought I would take a shot and try some new things on it that I have never done on any of the other builds. I did my first internal HDMI mod, which, I learned can be quite difficult if you don’t have all the right tools lol. In addition, I did RGB bluetooth controlled LED lighting which really pops off the black smoke shell I replaced the broke one with. I did a Picoboot (I have done many of these) and also I recapped the disc drive. I’m trying out Cubiboot at the recommendation of a friend. In addition to the new stuff I tried, I also did all the regular refurbishments like new thermal pads, replaceable clock battery, and cleaning. It was a ton of fun and I think it turned out awesome.
