When you look at that GameCube controller today it does look a little goofy...but man...it has to be one of the most comfortable controllers ever made! What do you think of the GameCube controller?
Love it!
I love It. Also I cant wait for the new retro figthers wireless GC controller with rumble.
I've used the same Japanese white pad( with 3 metre cable) through four different consoles. That's so unique and I love it.
I love my Wavebird! feels great.
Weird button placement. But yeah, it's the most comfortable controller imo.
Long live the GameCube! Thanks for keeping us up to date with how you're playing your retro consoles in 2022 and beyond...keep em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
The timing of when this vid came out! I am also currently updating my Spice Orange GC. I added a new jewel with a Paper Mario logo and doing an hdmi mod. Great to see you are still giving the GC some attention. Great video!
Just recently I stumbled upon your channel since I got back into retro gaming and I‘ve really been enjoying your content so far, especially the videos of your trip to Japan. Greetings from Austria!
I LOVE seeing these older games upscaled and given new life! Some of these games look absolutely amazing!!! It's like a brand new experience for some of these titles. WOW!
I noticed you playing the GBA “Revenge of the Sith” game at the end. That game is an absolute thrill!
I know, right?! Way better than you would expect.
That is a great game! Very fun!
Time stamp?
@@jponz85 you don't need a time stamp watch the video kid. It's no ones job to watch the video and find it for you. If you wanna see it you watch the video from beginning to end. You're excused get
@@jponz85 9:19
I enjoyed this video so much, I was surprised and disappointed by its short length! I thought for sure it'd be at least 15 minutes long, maybe 20. I would've liked to see more of your games upscaled, including Game Boy Advance games, and also comparisons with conventional output options and such. That Spice color-coordinated GameCube setup is sweet! It's great we got to see it (I didn't know about the Spice GBA Player). I always enjoy seeing your collection and especially your personal favorites and as always your enthusiasm for all sorts of titles.
Hey just found your channel today, I’m South Korean and was born in Seoul but have lived here since I was 5. I’ve brought home numerous Japanese/Korean market consoles and accessories on my visits to SK during the summer and it’s really cool to see a hot rodded GameCube like yours! Great channel man! One way I’ve found to upscale is using my Emotiva 16 channel Dolby Atmos processor to upscale any 480-1080p sources to 4K without adding any latency. I’ve been doing it for a couple years now with no issues. In all reality depending on native resolution, viewing distance and display device a 720p/1080p native image upscaled to 4K may not be that great. I’ve tested it both with an 85” Samsung QN95 QLED as well as an LG G1 OLED and my 4K short throw laser projector and all in all it certainly makes it cleaner and more presentable.
Man I love seeing Gamecube Videos 🙌🙌🙌 thank you so much for featuring this console with the custom jewel I made for it! If you ever want an incredible gamecube controller, please let me know I'd be happy to make you one 🤜🤛
Some great matching accessories are the Hori orange memory cards, the orange "beART" LCD screen, and the orange GBA.
I love Nintendo GameCube growing up even nowadays, about a year ago I basically upgrade my system with HDMI adapter and the mclassic adapter as well, it looks absolutely amazing on my 4K flat screen television. Great video man.😉👍
The upscaler and homebrew interface looks nice!
That video was just amazing... and the mClassic is very, very impressive!
Love your videos ! Your videos have helped me reawaken my love of gaming and seeing the old games & systems takes me back. Thanks for being awesome Bro !
This is awesome man! I will definitely be looking into some of these upgrades myself!
So glad I kept my Game Boy Player disc! The upscaling looks pretty good, and the extra options with the Swiss interface are excellent.
Man I wish I had friends like MetalJesus does, these friends really come through with the cool stuff.
Love your content, man. Especially the Gamecube ones. You seem like a good man! I’ve been watching the channel for a couples of years now. I myself only collect for the Gamecube, all the Game Boys and all DS (Nintendo rules lol). Congrats on the job! Straight out off Brazil! 🇧🇷
It’s amazing how great a lot of games look on the GameCube and even in its original resolution
Yes ther are some astonish good looking games. I only play them since two years ago on a compatible wii.
I play over component cable. Looks pretty good. I think it's comparable to rgb
How do you turn upscaling off on your TV?
Great video, entertaining as always my good sir! *Tips hat and makes small bow motion*
Great set up!
Liked and subbed. I plan on owning a gamecube soon and tons of games. Your channel is awesome!
I didn't know you could use this to play real GBA carts! Going to look into this option and thanks for sharing!
Wow this Gamecube is awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!!
I love the GameCube set up. I currently have the spice gamecube, Gameboy player, wavebird, and memory card lol its a modded gamecube that's region free and has colorful LED lights in the power and controller light sockets. So I'm feeling this video! 😎
Nice! This is exactly the same setup I use for capturing GameCube games on my channel, and it’s been amazing! 👍
Oh nice!
Heyyy GameCube galaxy!! Love your vids
@@masterbspace Hey man, thank you! Glad you enjoy the content on the channel!
So cool that you post a GameCube video I just found one at Goodwill for $8!
Dude, I’ve been so nostalgic for the GameCube days lately, plus old school pc games oh man the memories 😀
Laser bear makes 3D printed adapters that basically inserts into the GC loader inside the case. And has a port on it, it’ll fill in the space where the optical drive was and makes it look more finished and complete. Would be worth getting as it’s very simple to add on.
Nice upgrades!
The kind of videos that made me a huge MJR fan!
I'm so upset that GCLoader is out of stock. I really wanted one after watching several videos on this topic.
MetalJesus, I love your video btw. I hope BlackDogTech makes these again soon.
get a picoboot instead!
hey metal jesus i love the videos
That Spice GameCube is so slick. I have had a Spice Controller since the beginning (it's my favourite controller)
Very cool. Thank you for sharing with us.
One of my friends has a mClassic. Seeing it work in person is impressive.
Damn I never thought that orange would look so good
I fully support you on this. Physical media is great to have and consoles you need a couple of each really. I gotta say having a modern custom is the way to go. Upscale it? Awesome dude! I like playing older games in HD it kinda makes it fresh again too. Some games may be visually unappealing without upscaling being used to HD everything nowadays. It's rough going back on some of them. Anyways great GameCube man. 👍
Really nice looking!
Everytime you make these videos you bring up the value of the games.
By advertising an optical drive emulator he had installed? Which eliminates the need for those expensive discs.
Awesome video man 😎!
i need this setup asap!! so sick!!
The GameCube is my favorite console of all time. I'm running it on my Vizio 4k with the Retro Bit Prism. I may have to get the M classic too after watching this video. Great collection you got there. I have 105 of them. To me it's the perfect console
Man of culture ! I loved the GameCube and really got back into it about 2 years ago. More than doubled my collection. I just have the GCHD adapter but that alone is amazing. It’s connected to my pc via elgato capture card so I can stream or record footage
I Love the spice orange gamecube! Have one too with the box and everything. Also have the GC-loader installed with a black SD mount installed. Also a wind waker jewel from rockergaming! GameCube must be the most underrated console ever. So I'm glad people have started to appreciate it more!
I can tell the M Classic is putting in a lot of work! It's not a perfect solution but it works! Textures and edges look better. Downside: there's some weird artifacting going on around some edges and some of the anti-aliasing looks more like out of focus XBR filtering or something. It can't be a 1:1 1080p solution ofc. Upscaling down stream is guaranteed to produce at least a little wonkiness. IDK enough about GC/Wii mods and FPGA stuff (if it exists) to know if there's a better way to get true 1080p GC games without side effects (video idea?). I'm so excited to finally catch one of your vids early MJR! I'm new to the channel and always watch stuff... what, 5 or 6 years late? As a die hard PSP fan I really enjoyed going through (literally) every single one of your PSP videos!
Yeah mClassic introduces a halo effect on polygon objects which is one of its negatives, another being contrast it introduces to colours. Overall I like the device though and this orange spice GC is an awesome setup.
Awesome GameCube, I love the orange variant. I wish we'd got that in the US. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for watching!
Greetings from Sweden. Got a regionfreemodded GC found at a recyclingyard some years ago. It was apparently used in a prison (taped all around it with markings from the holding facility, glued/cemented memory card so no in-mate could take it away. Were some games along but it had both the Free Loader disc and the Game Boy Player disc.
That's really cool. But what's the benefit of replacing the optical drive, over booting Swiss from SD2SP2 or memory card SD? Is it just immediate boot rather than having to save exploit every time? If so that's awesome. Great video. Thanks
Nice Jason!
MetalF***ingJesusChr*st. You have a whole gamecube kioske. You are a legend!
quality video as always good work
Much appreciated
Fantastic video you rock
It's really frickin' great that some things can be improved...🤘🏼💯✔️
That orange Gamecube is fire!
🔥
The only thing I think you are missing is the laserbear mod for the sd card. It’s definitely worth it. I just use the official component cable that outputs great 480p for my cube.
You rock man, The game cube had some cool games
Dang dude this is so cool
I have a modded GameCube and Dreamcast, love both of them. Great way to play both systems.
Are they hard to mod?
@@jakoah7142 The Dreamcast is harder to mod than the Gamecube because some soldering is involved. I found both of mine on ebay already modded. The cost was reasonable enough that I went in that direction. There are a lot of videos here on youtube that go over all that's involved.
@@MrLivewire1970 how much u pay if u don't mind if I ask just because I am interested
that kiosk setup is sweet
Its been awhile since you make a GameCube video! Missed those days when you did a guide on Gamecube games in 2015 before being scalped...
That's pretty neat! I wish there was a proper NES -> HDMI plug'n'play solution, that would be really cool.
Love this, is probably not even too expensive unless one really wants an orange Cube and GB Player.
I live for new Metal Jesus videos
Great video MJR, though the first thing I was looking forward to after seeing the title was how far you'd mod the controller. That's ok tho!
MetalJesus uploading is awesome, but him uploading gamecube videos is even better
THE SPICE MUST FLOW
Metal Jesus, many do it but nobody does it quite like you. Cudo's!!!
i wish i had a gamecube. honestly this orange looks amazing! i got a wii though wich i will definetly mod someday
The Gamecube will always be my favourite system. I really need something like this as i want to play it on my 55 inch tv. I wish the Gamecube discs worked with a PC's DVD drive, so i could play them on Dolphin.
@thecouchtripper I don't really but finding a lot of the files lately has become a pain because Nintendo keep taking down Rom sites. At least if I use the disc, i can play when ever I want.
You can just get the ROM and play them on Dolphin….
If you get an action replay and a memory card with an sd card slot, you can use your Gamecube to rip the discs. I believe BC Wiis can also rip them.
Little Hi Metal Jesus from France, I modified my Gc too months ago and I use the GCloader + a bitfunX hdmi it works very well ^^
Yeah just recently got that gamecube itch as well. Just an awesome console!
I currently own a Xeno chip modded purple GameCube w/ a matching color GB Player and 1x matching color controller. Thanks to MVG's video from 2018 or 2019, I was able to find out what to purchase afterwards such as the memory card adapter that plugs into the player 2 slot so it can read my ROMs (GC games and/or misc) based on the DOL (app) tied to the console it emulates by way of S.W.I.S.S. burnt onto a mini-DVD in the disc tray. During Prime Day last year, I purchased the 'HDMI Adapter/1080p converter' from Retro-Bit on sale for $68. Recently as of last week, I just ordered the Marseille mClassic as well on sale for $80 at GameStop which should be arriving by the end of the month 😊...
Holy moly I just bought an mClassic as soon as you said it. That looks so so much better. I thought my video output for GC was as good as it was gonna get without some ridiculous mod. More importantly, I can use it for all of my consoles!!
With all the new real estate inside the machine from removing the CD drive you might be able to get someone to wire the adapters internally so it's just an HDMI port on the back.
That gamecube is awesome!
I have the same setup. I wish I bougut the gc mk-ii HDMI adapter when it was available. People ask thousands now... The only thing I would suggest would be the 3d printed bracket from laserbear with a sd card expansion. It makes getting the sd card in and out easier and covers up the big hole.
Pretty cool Cube
I can't wait to get my hands on the GC loader I've been trying to find one for a year now
This is awesome, the GameCube is such a powerhouse of a system to collect for.
that's interesting. good video
This is so BADASS!!! The GameCube is still awesome sir!
Oh you have my fav Gamecube game and one of my all time fav games ever, Eternal Darkness. I wish they made that sequel more or update it
I use SWISS from an SD card to force the highest resolution posible + Carby HDMI adapter to the Franemeister and at last an Mclassic. It's almost like native 1440p emulation visual quality.
BTW: I LOVE your videos.
My setup is kinda similar. I use an Action Replay disc to boot off of an SD card in the first memory slot and use a Carby for HDMI out. It looks a little janky, but works really well.
I LOVE the mclassic. never play my gamecube without it!
Also Swiss lets you use cheats, so if you check the dolphin wiki most games have a real widescreen codes! widescreen makes games look fantastic !! really great way to replay games like sunshine or metroid prime :)
also totally underrated feature for cleaning up the aliasing: using the "force anisotropic filter" in the options menu. can rly help in some games!
That Panasonic GC is pure awesomeness.
Would love to hear you talk about the GameCube even more, MJR! I think people are finally coming around to see what a great system it was.
I don't feel satisfied without seeing metal Jesus rock face in his videos
This is my same setup except I use the RetroBit HDMI adapter and I don't have the GB player on my secondary GameCube. The LasedBear 3D printed mount works great, Swiss is super sweet and I really like the mClassic's upscaling!
Wavebird was sublime 👍
Has anyone heard of hacks or modifications to the MClassic to disable the contrast and sharpening enhancements? Generally speaking, these blow-out the image. Only having the latency-free scaling and (perhaps) the AA would be a treat.
That would be a nice feature because in some games the AA is a bit much... in others, it's great. To have the option would be best.
The contrast was super apparent. DK in Smash Bros was super dark.
@@aaronpatterson4944 That's exactly what caught my eye as well.
There’s way too much white crush on SM Sunshine. Look at the cobblestone(?). For me, that alone negates any advantage it might otherwise have. I’ll take the jaggies.
@@nickwallette6201 yeah. Color correctness is more important than higher resolution.
Kinsey approves of this video, that orange gamecube looks AWESOME
The mClassic is an amazing piece of kit to have for all retro collector's. It makes getting a portable 1080p monitor worth buying too.
Finally, someone who sticks up for the mclassic. Surprising how many ppl talk badly about it
Slick mods! I got lucky and found a spare Game Boy Player boot disk at Goodwill for a couple bucks about a decade back. I also have an Action Replay and recently discovered it's easy to boot up Swiss... so I am guess covered till my Game Cube with Nintendo Component cables dies.
Gamecube for life. I remember I was in 6th grade. Someone picked me to go on vacation with them literally because I had the Gamecube with the gba loader and the top screen attachment so it was like a portable super cube. I play all my gamecube stuff on my modded wii now but something about the system and it's snug fitting accessories is infinitely cool.
Cool video
Im going out and getting one now!
I just recently got myself a DOL-001 GC. I already have some games. I went with the retrobit HD adapter myself. I'd love to get the GBA adapter, but the price of the disc as you said is really pricey. I have got into retro gaming collecting lightly since 2021. Its funny to think about all the consoles I owned back in the day, then either gave away or sold. Now I am rebuying them. Thanks for the video. I am going to decide if the MClassic is worth the $100 price tag once I play a few games on my GC. Since I only have one, I doubt I will ever replace the disc drive.
The SD card reader looks much better with the 3d printed mount you can buy online
To be fair, I've been thinking about SD card modification to some of my consoles, because unlike my cartridge games, my disk based media collection seems to degrade more rapidly. Where many of my disk games which were working when I last tried them a few years ago, are not working now. Which I'm not sure if its disk rot, or the optical drive at issue. But ultimately, I'm not wanting to have to continuously rebuy games in my collection, especially when some are way more expensive than when I originally procured them. So an SD card solution is something I'm looking into, even if it seems like a more technical solution, and less plug and play than I'd like.
