    the gamecube is my goto console for moding. there are many options to get the entire library on 2 sd cards with full functionality of the disc reader/memory cards. and then the blue tooth upgrades make it really nice to invest in rather than sink money into. even once the disc drive goes the console is still viable !

    @7:40 agreed. The elitism around not buying 3rd party or repro is insane when the price difference makes or breaks if a project worthwhile

    I appreciate seeing this as mods like this is what keeps these consoles alive. I say let these consoles live on as long as people keep these mods coming hopefully indefinitely.

    I'm going to be doing a similar project too this weekend. I have an old GC and GB Player from when I was a kid lying around, collecting dust, and after I tested it, the disc drive wasn't reading discs, so I decided that I'm just going to mod it and pimp it out, lol. Just waiting on my 3D printed mount that I ordered from eBay to come in the mail.

    I was modding my GameCube earlier this year in a similar way & it's absolutely awesome now. The GC Loader PNP and a 3D-printed SD card mount are awesome, but probably my favorite mod I did was the Blue Retro Bluetooth adapter board. It's so cool being able to sync any Bluetooth controller to my 'Cube AND still be able to use original controllers with no issues.

    Yes it would be nice having a longer video and seeing the whole project of swapping shells and such, like a tutorial.

  • @spriteous

    That gamecube goes well with the tv. It kind of makes me want to do a shell swap on my gamecube, but I may just buy one with a broken drive and go all out on it

  • @just_delightful
    @just_delightful 3 месяца назад +3

    Holy crap I just bought a GCloader, I had no idea I could get an ODE for less than half the cost, but the upcoming Flippy Drive really looks legit too.

  • @SoundToxin

    Lookin' good. I modded some GameCubes with PicoBoot a couple years ago, both ones with and without working disc drives. Fun stuff.
    Agreed that aliexpress is a lot nicer than it used to be and worth giving a shot for stuff. Often they have some super niche electronics stuff I don't even know where to find elsewhere. Like extension cables for any old controller type (useful both for their intended use and for if you need to make custom adapters to hook an old game controller to a PC). Also unofficial USB chargers for lots of handhelds are on there.

    I put a DOL-001 model into the pearl white shell of a DOL-101. This is the best looking shell, imo, but it was only available with 101 models, which kinda suck due to the missing digital output. Only had to make a little cutout for the SP2 port and the shell fit like a glove. Other than that I have all the games on a micro SD card in the SP2 port and boot into Swiss using an SD Geko and an Action Replay disc. This way the GC stays in its most original form. Even though I could easily solder anything into the cube, I'm really hesitant about doing so.

    I have a near perfect (barely visible paint scratched, no scuffs) Platinum GB w/ matching GBA player (Japan only thing) and an orange GB/GBA combo. I just couldn't replace those shells. I do have a black DOL-001 w/o the SP2 connector so a new shell would be awesome and the CubeODE might be perfect for that. Anyone know how fast the CubeODE loads games? The SD2SP2 can load some games/videos slow or w/ stuttering (Mario Party opening)
