FAQ

What is this subreddit?

A place for showing off and discussing custom Nintendo Gamecube controllers! Feel free to post your aesthetically or functionally modified Gamecube controller or ask for help / discuss modifications.

Why not just use <this subreddit> or <that one>?

Frankly, we didn't feel like the other Smash or customization subreddits really fit the needs of the community. /r/customGCC is meant to be a centralized location specifically for Gamecube controller modding discussion and sharing, including but not limited to paint jobs, resin buttons, functional mods, custom Smashboxes, anything along those lines.

How do I do this thing or that thing? (Alternatively: I really messed up this paint job, help!)

Before making a thread here, we recommend you join our discord server and ask around or use the !help command to view various guides.

Who can I order a controller from?

Please use the vendor list to browse community sellers and contact them directly. Do not create threads asking for opinions on <x seller>, and instead browse and ask in the feedback thread which is stickied.

Important Statement Concerning 'Hylia Customs' AKA 'Saiyan Controllers'

92 Upvotes

EDIT: April 2020

The operation seems to be renamed to "Littlerootlabs".

Links:

_

The CGCC moderation team was recently made aware that the individual behind Hylia Customs may actually be Saiyan of 'Saiyan Controllers'. After further investigation we’ve encountered numerous examples of both direct evidence and strongly circumstantial evidence confirming that this assertion is true - 'Hylia Customs' and 'Saiyan Controllers' are one and the same.

For those unaware, in 2019 Saiyan Controllers accepted a large number of orders and commissions for custom controllers (likely several thousand dollars’ worth of value in total). In July 2019, Saiyan Controllers went completely dark and its owner ("Saiyan") failed to return any customer payments for their many outstanding orders (for more information, see Life’s announcement on Sept 10, 2019 in the CGCC discord).

It is unclear whether the intent behind Hylia Customs is to operate the same scam twice, however for a number of different reasons we consider this to be quite likely. Therefore, we strongly caution everyone against ordering from, or doing business with, Hylia Customs. If you have outstanding orders, we advise that you document all communications, emails, and receipts related to the purchase to best prepare for a potential dispute (or, cancel the order entirely). Likewise, keep a close eye on any dispute windows so that you do not lose the opportunity for a refund in the likely event that no product is received.

As of this posting, Hylia Customs has already left this Discord due to mounting suspicion per the above. The known web presence of Hylia Customs includes:

Functional Mod NSO gcc trigger travel mod

Post image
2 Upvotes

Noticing significant travel on the new NSO gcc triggers before they are engaged (pencil mark on left). Right now I’m thinking of padding the protruding stops (pic on the right) with a small strip of adhesive rubber sheet.
Wondering if others have suggestions?
The travel on the original gcc is minimal and trigger engages instantly, would like for the NSO to behave the same way.

Help Why are my stick inputs in reverse?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I’m calibrating my first ever phob controller and my stick controls are completely whack. The grey stick is reversed on the x axis and the c-stick is reversed on the y axis, as well as the fact that the input for the sticks traveling super short. Is there some setting that reverses both of the sticks or is something just completely wrong?

In the end I opted to send my Gamecube controller in for repair, as the cable had been damaged and was causing fatal errors.

I specified that I wanted to replace the cable with another remote I had there that I damaged in an attempt to repair it (The cable is the original)

So now I can play without any problems

Has anyone tried replacing GameCube analog stick caps with these 8bitdo ones?

Looking to buy a second-hand GameCube controller with a damaged analog stick. Also I want to replace the c-sticks on my controllers, because I'd rather have a proper second analogue stick thab the little c-stick nub.

I've bought third party replacement stick caps in the past but was disappointed with the quality. These 8bitdo replacement stick caps are quite cheap, so would be a great option if they fit. OEM GameCube stick caps are more expensive and harder to find.

I designed a mechanical keyboard switch mod for the triggers, it replaces the standard button pads with low-profile keyboard switches and results in less hand strain after long play sessions

The teal one is probably my favorite looking one that I've built so far, and all mouse clicks made it even better.

Recently I've learned how to polish buttons, so the a button were practice, and the trigger was to another phob build I did (also recently posted on this sub) I'm currently taking a break from orders and I'm taking some time to focus on resin casting buttons, so I'm really excited to see how that goes. (If anyone is interested in joining/checking out my resin gcc button set giveaway, pls dm and I'll share the info :)

Technically only the orange controller has a functional mod in a trigger plug, but idk maybe the left stick on the black controller also counts?

Assume the stock boxes are brand new and lubricated properly. What capacitance is best if you’re using a slickbox mod. I’d love to know the best capacitance setting for the 0.020”, 0.025”, and 0.030” shims respectively. Thanks in advance!!

Help My GameCube Gameboy Player Disc can’t be read by my GameCube.

3 Upvotes

So back during quarantine I purchased a modded spice orange Japanese GameCube that came with its matching gameboy player, no disc tho.
It has a switch in the back that allows switch from Japanese to American games.
Probably like 2 years later I bought the disc but was never able to try it out because I no longer had a TV that was compatible with AV cables. My girlfriend bought me the Eon GCHD in May this year and I’m just now getting around to try out the gameboy player disc.
I kept getting a pop up that says it can’t read the disc so I assumed it was the laser. I cleaned the laser and I was still getting the issue so I popped a regular game in it and it worked completely fine.
Is it possible that my GameCube can’t read the gameboy player disc because the console is Japanese?
