GOD that GameCube startup gives me insane nostalgia. It has got to be my biggest nostalgia trigger, anytime I hear it I’m instantly transported back to my childhood, literally dozens of memories flood into my mind in less than a second.
I love the care you show for every single thing you get. Especially since I grew up on the gamecube this really warms my heart seeing the love and care you put into cleaning and restoring it.
With a few lines of text and your hands you show more emotion and charisma than most people in the world that is one of the many things I like about your videos also I must thank you because every time I see you fix controller, consoles,and other gaming apparatus makes me relieve my childhood again and for that I thank you

Here is a couple more suggestions for the yellowing of the cables: 1. Baking soda. 2. Bleach. 3. Cream peroxide, set it out in the sun for 3-4 hours. Great video.
Looks like the original owner buried it in their backyard for a couple years and then came back for it. The bugs and grime inside were gnarly. Love your vids, and that you go the extra mile in your cleanings/repairs, even down to the screws!!
I've watched a lot of your videos and it still amazes me that you can take something that is absolutely disgusting and doesn't work and make it like new again, awesome job.
Always appreciate the extra effort put in these videos. Didn't even stop at fixing the controller problem, even polished and sanded down the controller's nails to make them look nice too!
15:31 skill Man this was pretty awesome to watch. I could definitely try on my own but seeing this video makes me want to watch others do it. Thanks for posting! Also this would work great as asmr lol. The ad that played was loud though so that spooked me.
they were made for the wii, oddly enough. Sakurai wanted people used to playing Smash on gamecube controller to be able to transfer their muscle memory over from melee. they figured it'd be a good idea to sell a wii brawl bundle with new GCCs in case people's old controllers were showing signs of wear, though it was only made available in japan. releasing new controllers is a tradition that's continued for every smash title since, though the JP whites have long been considered the highest quality stock GCCs money can buy, at least for smash.
Watching your content makes me feel close to my dad. He did tinker a lot around the house and stuff. He sadly passed away this february due to cancer. So in a weird way, thank you.
a year later and your videos are still top tier, i am a huge retro game fan i watch the gba video and got me thinking about my gameboy pop that bad boy open turns out battery no bueno. thanks to your videos i very much appreciate your channel !!
Bro you SAVED MY LIFE! I tried opening and tinkering with my GC controller, I opened and tinkered successfully, but couldn’t get it to go back together, but I remembered this video and carefully looked at what you did and figured it out. The circley thing in the center of the motherboard was backwards 😂😅 but I put it back together and it works fine and better now. Thanks a billion! Much love to this channel and keep up the excellent work! ❤️🔥

you can tell they were airial spamming with a and x
Melee players have controllers worth $400 to have them be modded and custom, its crazy

For those wondering the little dot on the screw usually represents that is a JIS (Japanese Industry Standard) type screw.
