Tbh the disc cost me $130 USD
Ps2 have that's too
You might be able to find a split adapter (kinda like an iPhone power and aux dongle) so both things can be plugged in at once.
Retro Dodo would love to help you out with your videos lmk if any way I can get involved love projects like these
It came out 2001
That wire was giving me anxiety the whole time
It was tight. 😂
me too!
lmao
Likewise
I didn't really notice it before reading your comment. The video is about that wire now.
Dude that display isn’t bad at all, imagine having that bad boy in 2002!!!
The GameBoy player came out in 2003, but it would still be great
Its like having the worlds most expencive, non portable and biggest gameboy
You should have invested in a extension cord as well my dude. 😂
I know. 😂 TIGHT
the tension on that power cable got my anxiety escalates real quick
I read this before the video loaded, I thought “how bad could it be.” Literally three seconds into the video I had the same thought as you!
Same! Also with playing smash with the console at an angle got my heart racing
> oh no it has been incredibly expensive
> gets almost everything boxed with everything included, even the memory card
I know right?! XD
If you get everything in box it's obviously gonna be more expensive!
Payed $115 for mine lol. Came with everything, memory card, plus gale of darkness. Plus $10 for an adapter.
@@cholonight96 Then your's turned out to be $125 basically.
@@cholonight96 Gale of Darkness alone is worth the same price as all the items put together. Who ever sold you it with Gale of Darkness didn't know what they had.
This is the most roundabout way to get a GBA SP ive seen
Has OCD but places Melee into the game boy player case, I call shenanigans.
I love those retro consoles build with all possible accessories... When we were young, we couldn't afford because they were too expensive because they were new, now they are too expensive because they are retro :)
I had one of those screens when I was a child. Well, it was a different brand and looked different but same idea.
One thing you should have done instead of the gameboy player (although I love that you made portable games playable on a home console and then made it more or less portable) was get a battery pack. It sits in the same spot as the gameboy player and allows you to play without plugging in, which goes really well with the screen.
Man, I would have KILLED for that screen when I was in jr high school!
I know right. 😂 Such an awesome accessory!
the BEEFCUBE
Really awesome products !!
Pimp that Game Cube Retrooooooooooooo... DODO !! 😁
Thanks for watching! 🤙🏼
Yeahh he does have awesome products too 🎮♡🕹
my favorite is the game boy screen because i am obsessed with just bringing consoles wherever a outlet is, imagine you roll up to school and you got study hall and you can just play smash bros meele with your buddy or wind waker to kill some time, my second favorite is the game boy one to add even more great games to play, you add pokemon and minish cap (yes i may be obsessed with zelda) the arcade controller and the speaker i can hold off on but yea, you found a new subcriber because i love just adding a whole bunch of external mods, one of my favorite things ever
Still searching for a gamecube, love this dude.
We hope you find it soon! :) Thanks for watching.
Game Cube is really awesome 😎
@@RetroDodo what do u mean we?
Do you live in Brooklyn? I can recommend a store. If not, I advise you to search on GameCube.
Can’t find one either bro. for at least a good price. when I look on offer up I NEVER find an indigo with a matching indigo controller. I literally just want one for Mario sunshine and wind Waker. I’m just not willing to spend $150 for all that yet 😭
Gamecube, gameboy player, and a built in screen. Now you can finally play Pokemon on the go.
90% sure Pokémon Emerald was a bootleg
What? No it wasn't lol
Juaquin De Anda that E rating is so fake looking as is the rest of the label
@@jdh21403 fake looking? Looks normal to me as do the pics on google
And he was clearly playing the game lol
Juaquin De Anda fake copies work perfectly and are almost as common as real ones. And I looked too, the rating symbol is different on his, which is a common trait of bootleg cartridges that makes them easy to identify as fake copies
I had all these growing up except for that arcade joystick thing. 10/10 would recommend
These GameCube's are absolutely fantastic especially with all the add on's like swiss etc.
Good video, happy memories. Now I haven’t got the faintest idea about what happened to my Game Cube, I never got rid of it. 😬
This was really an expression episode. Thinking of the Game Boy player is one accessory I always wanted as a child but my parents never bought it. If it wasn't that expensive I might buy one today. I didn't even know it exists in purple though.
It does, along with Platinum and Spice Orange colors, along with the incredibly rare Char Red variant
They're not that expensive. I got mine from Japan for about £12 - they aren't region locked. As for the disc, you're actually better off using an Action Replay to boot Gameboy Interface from an SD Memory Card. It's not only a cheaper solution, but the Gameboy Interface homebrew software is actually better than the official software in almost every single way.
Still got mine. Remember when I was a kid the white disc you put into the GC was obviously the most impoetant piece to the set, as if you did not have it it wouldnt play. Lost it one time. Finding another was a B and this was shortly after it came out.
This whole set up is good for if you often find yourself at grandma's house, doing nothing while your mom and her mom smoke, drink coffee, gossip and cut coupons. But to be honest, you can see ideas for the switch. .... Ok the speaker system is too much LOL
Oh my lord, this is actually incredible 😂😂
I love this so much, great video!
Thanks for watching Cookie!
Hey Retro Dodo. Here's a better title. *“How to waste money on accessories you don't need or want but it looks cool!”*
Love your videos!
The perfect title. 😂
well the screen and the gba player are pretty amazing the size of the screen playing gba games looked amazing
The only necessities for anyone who owns a gamecube, is the Gameboy Player, and the Gameboy Player Disc. OH, and if you have the Digital output port (Majority of all Dol-001 consoles have that port, Dol-101 does not), Component cables, but that's even more expensive because of how rare it is, so getting HDMI adapter for the Gamecube will do just fine.
Gamecube lookin' like a pac-man machine11:15
GameCube arcade stick controllers come in handy if you want to play fighting games such as Capcom vs SNK 2: EO and SoulCalibur 2 on your GameCube.
Thank You, I didn't know i need this video in my life. Got my silver and black Gamecube sitting over there right now.
Great choice on the silver!
Love your videos and I love pimp my console, as I love accessories!
Thanks man!
This video deserve to actually get tons of views to help make your money back. This was an awesome video :)
Brandon : "us Europeans"
Brexit : "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?"
Thats the EU not europe
@@TurboSphinx22 Switzerland: Welcome to the party Borther!
Last weekend, my sister gave me our childhood GameCube, along with Super Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, and a few other games. Such a score.
Wow, lucky you! 🙌
@@RetroDodo My five-year-old is already obsessed with Ocarina of Time now haha
You wasn’t kidding about pimping up your Gamecude
Nope ;)
honestly i thought the last one was gonna be the gamecube speakers that goes on the screen
😂
I grew up on Gamecube and that traveling screen but only things that I gotten from Gamecube and best way to find a Gamecube is by going to stores that sell retro games and consules.
Retro doo doo
Noooooo 😂 Like Dough Dough!!!
Lol
Bro the noise of the plastic is kind of satisfying tho like vid I'm a new subscriber
I pimped mine long ago by hooking it up to a LED projector! I put aluminum foil over the windows in my basement, and turned an entire wall into a giant screen... Just so I could play the Resident Evil remake! Sure, we used the projector to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride, but I was all about playing Resident Evil larger than life!
Amazing! 😍
omg i was laughing so hard when you said "this is going to be absolutely mad"
When he said Mario kicks some butt, I thought Mario turned into an unfriendly, un family friendly, child unfriendly monster
Man one of my friends had the gamecube screen when I was in middle school and i was immensely jelly and nerded out when I first saw it over at his house, I had to play a game on it because it was always my dream to be able to play high quality 3d games anywhere with an outlet. I dreamed of taking it to school to play games during recess . I have an older brother too so of course he would have his own games he would want to play on our only bedroom TV so this was another reason I wanted a console with a smaller portable screen. I could just use an outlet in the corner or go to the kitchen with some headphones. I myself was a playstation kid though so I really wanted the PS2 version. But yeah it's funny to think about today but you have to remember at the time. The best portable games you could play was gameboy advance and I had that already pimped out with a halo light lighted screen and rechargeable battery pack. I was set there, but bigger 3D games would only be possible on a setup like this.
There were multiple displays available for the GameCube. My guess is those speakers were made with a different one in mind.
This is why the game cube have a handle
Pick up and play! 😂
that was some set up..keep them coming mate :)
holy moly this gamecube
THAT'S A SHINY SHUPPET! AND HE KILLED IT THAT R*****
@7:51 game cube megazord formation complete🤣
😂😂😂
I am so jealous of that Joytech screen! Lol
Also lemme see you wavedash with that sicc controller
I totally wish there were fat buttons on the top of the gamecube to make that screen adapter setp into an actual giant gameboy/mini arcade machine setup! When you had your hands on it a certain way it looked perfect like you were about to play lol.
I bought those speakers for 20 euros some years ago. Also, I have a GC Controller with a freaking fan in the middle. The airstream cools your hands while playing.
Are you trying to say i can pimp out the perfection that is a system shaped like a lunchbox? You absolute fool you madman
i just found your channel and i love these videos
" AcTuAlLy ThE GaMeCuBe cAmE oUt In 2001"
lol. This was fun to watch. Thanks.
The only GameCube accessory you need is a CRT so that you can grind melee with zero input lag
Ur not wrong
As soon as I saw the arcade controller and melee, I screamed, "No! That is not how you play melee!! Stop NOW!"
Game Cube: This isn't even my Final Form
I saw a video about INTEC periphals for NGC. With those a screen, extra speaker pair and GB adapter can be used at the same time.
So glad I always put a cover when done playing with my platinum GameCube. Still in perfect condition after 15 years.
A melee is a fight and Brits pronounce it the same way (May Lay). The game itself even announces it on the title screen.
awesome upgrades onlything I had on my gamecube was the gameboy player part.
Hey RDodo , , Nintendo '"TOWER OF POWER" ! ! 😊 take that Sega 32x 😂😆🤣
I believe the plug for the speakers plugs into the first gamecube that came out and it had 2 plugs in the back for video and sound if I remember right.
I always wanted to buy that gameboy games player for the gamecube. This actually looks cool! Got A Sub From Me!
I still remember finding a pokemon ruby, label ripped off, at a dollar store once as a kid or early teens, maybe early 2000s, and it was thrown into like wrappers for coin sorting that you could buy on lowest shelf. I was like wtf. I didn't have a gameboy advance yet, still only had the color and all other pokemon games. Well i knew what game was due to the clear red plastic. Eventually i took it to my brothers friends house now and then and played it on that guys SP. I was happy asf when i got an advance like a year or two later and then back lit SP eventually by 07. Fun times.
This guy always had all the systems, every now and then something new or he sold off or gave away idk but he got something else always. Crazy. Only couple years older and he was going thru it all, every system. Even game gear and dreamcast and all 6th gen systems etc.
Overall a pretty cool build, but you missed a very important component to building the Ultimate Nintendo GameCube; the Ethernet adapter, for network capabilities. This is mainly important for Phantasy Star Online, but it's still a good feature to have, and the adapter fits perfectly between the GameCube and the Game Boy Player.
The first one is like one of those portable gamecubes exept you need a battery and its the easy way lol.
0:54 you’re such a virgin
it’s indigo.....
jk nice video the gamecube is still my favorite console, thanks for entertaining me!🍻
I liked and subbed because he made a big investment and this is a great video :)
Good video. I enjoyed it. I wouldnt mind having a screen like that for my gamecube if im being honest. Never seen your channel before but I am now subscribed.
The joystick is amazing
my gtx 960 laptop can emulate that game cube. I wouldnt wish that rig u have on my worst enemy. Ur like a gaming martyr for dealing with that hot mess. Lol
A truly pimped cube would have the component cable or an HDMI mod with an IcedCube replacement shell and an SD loader. ;) Also, you'd need 2-4 of those arcade stick for tournament play, which makes them quite a bit more expensive. Not surprised it doesn't work!
The ultimate game console!!! 😳😳
Bangin mate... the shizzle from brizzle! Fatty gamecube/boy beast... love it ,as always Brandon!
Yeah boiiiiiii
Respect for actually replying to and acknowledging your fans mate. I value and trust your opinion on the products you review, so its v.cool that you do this... respect bro
Gamecube has evolved into ULTRACUBE!!
MEGACUBE!!
Really cool videos and ideas!!!! Just subscribed
Thanks Alex!
The only accessory I have out of the bunch is the Game Boy Player. If I could find the screen and the controller both for cheap and in black to match my GameCube, I'd get them.
Killin that power cord jesus
😂
Hearing the music for Pokemon Emerald sent me into such a nostalgia storm.
Enjoying your videos pal well done
Thanks Richie, much appreciated!
Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
To tease the Gods
And everyone and have some fun
Monkey magic, Monkey magic (repeat 4 times)
What a cocky saucy monkey this one is
All the Gods were angered
And they punished him
Until he was saved by a kindly priest
And that was the start
Of their pilgrimage west
Monkey magic, Monkey magic (repeat 4 times)
With a little bit of monkey magic
There'll be fireworks tonight
With a litt
I was uncomfortable with how tight that power cord was during this video. would have been cool to include an HDMI adapter. great video!
This seems like the hardest way to play gameboy advanced games on the go
You definitely have the ultimate game boy lol
It almost reminds me of a huge Nintendo SP almost on top of the gamecube 😄😄 frickin awesome
So if you had the HD component cable, the speaker situation would make more sense to you. Because the component output only does video, and you would use the standard multi out for sound only in that example. So instead of using the multi out for RCA (red white) sound, with the HD video cable, you could use those speakers instead. The strange part to me is the speakers don't have a general Aux input (headphone style) which would allow for more combinations of hooking everything up.
The switch claps
9:40 I thouht that was a shiny shuppet FTW
Man PSP was loaded with a lot of stuff, I remember when I got mine I didnt think it needed any accessories, but before I knew it, I had a flip up screen protector and an FM transmitter for music. Now there is one PSP accessory I would love to see in action. The PSP EYE. Like the playstation EYE. It was a camera that attached to the top. I remember seeing the accessory in an EGM magazine before the launch, and years had passed and there was still NO PSP EYE. I think it may have eventually came out but it was late to the market or a 3rd party made it or something, I cant remember, but they are probably hard to find these days.
Awesome video like always keep it up bro always good stuff
Thank you Lukas!
I managed to get the GameCube GBA adapter with the CD for $60 in my local classic game store, awesome video I'll definitely subscribe.
awesome stuff.!
Game cube is one of my favorite consoles from Nintendo it has great games like Super Mario sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, and of course the game cube has most of the Mario parties being Mario party 4-7 which are all amazing games to play
Great games indeed!
@@RetroDodo they are all great games
I thought you was gona say it took you 3 months to find a game cube for a second, was gonna say lmao
I’ve been looking for a series like this for a lllooooooooooonngg time after a saw a own time thing someone did for the GBA Sp awhile back
That's a decent price for melee and they have adapters so you can use both the screen an speakers at the same time
0:10 it came out in 2001 in North America, still great vid though, I subbed btw
Much appreciated Jack!
Thanks bro, the GameCube is also my. Favorite console if all time.
Kemptston Micro Electronics who were the original makers of Joysticks under the Competition Pro brand went out of business in 1993. Since the Gamecube was released in 2001/2002 that joystick is definately not from them. I have managed to see a close up of the box and according to that it is from Powerplay Ltd who was based in Lancashire, UK and seem to have become defunct as I can find no more information on them. The joysticks appear to be hard to find these days but I have seen a nearly identical version called the Penguin Arcade Stick which has connectors for the Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox.
Interesting, thanks for the information James!
I still own my Intec portable monitors for my GameCube, PS2, & OG Xbox...Toys r us was a great place to find them for cheap back in the day
Amazing! Keep them, theyre becoming rare!
