and GameCube wasn't working now it is
More like making a fake GBA SP xD
Tom Jacobs more like 720p or 1080p
better graphics lmao
14:36: Those actually aren't lag spikes. The emulator is constantly compiling ingame shaders. In order to fix it, you could download pre-compiled shaders and insert some graphic packs. This wil both make your game run smoothly and render it at 60 fps or even more. Also, in cemu's graphic settings it's just better to use OpenGL, rather that Vulkan and using your whole graphics card.
fuck in game shaders, run raytracing like that one guy who did mario 64 RX
@@DavidFrycSaber Shaders as in the textures/materials of the world. Not lighting.
@@cheezyfriez12 They aren't that terrible anymore. Since the 22.7.1 driver, which was released in july, it got much better. Still think Vulkan would be better though.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD SHADERS. Idk where people got that idea but unless their hardware is identical to yours you will have a worse time downloading shaders than if you were to just play for an hour and compile them yourself.
@@christianmino3753 this, shaders are meant to be compiled for your specific hardware and things can be even slower
GameCube so smol!
I'm learning that there's a difference between building a custom PC and then a Tech-by-Matt **CUSTOM PC**
"This may seem like an old beat up gamecube", literally brand new perfect condition gamecube
GameCubes are so damn sturdy you could use them as weapons I swear. The only fragile thing is the disc reader lenses
As a kid my sister pushed me over and my head hit the gamecube. Started bleeding everywhere but the gamecube was fine lol
@@LegacyLoot 😂😂😂 I pictured a bloodbath as I was reading your comment. 😅
@@PSYCHOV3N0M It wasn't great, should've gotten stitches but oh well! My sister ran over and checked to see if the gamecube was okay while I was bawling in pain rip
No way that's a beat up Gamecube, it looks like mine sitting on the shelf. I feel that the silver color can hide minor scratches and blemishes better. Darker colors especially black with a glossy finish really show imperfections.
Imagine pulling up at a lan party with this😂

"Designed by ATI."
Technically, the sticker isn't wrong.
Did you mean the sticker on the original GameCube? It's been such a long time, but I remember it says "Graphics by ATI". I so regret that I sold my GC back in 2007.
@@sunjoexys7251 you would be correct
it technically is wrong because ATI doesnt exist anymore.
@@const3llations_370 they do amd still use the name as they acquired them. infact they still use it
@@NonsensicalSpudz no they don't actually still use the name. It was dissolved and absorbed by amd and they stopped using the name in 2010. Old news.
I wonder if finding someone to 3D print a replacement bottom panel would have made it any cleaner? I know you were going for an " authentic" look but that's what I would have tried. Still looks amazing! Keep up the great work!
Im actually in the process of doing this build myself with some personal alterations like 3d printing some parts. Im planning on designing and 3d printing a custom i/o shield for the back that filles the whole space and either a whole new bottom base or hybrid 3d printed inserts with canabalised original base!
@@austinn261I’d suggest cutting the tabs off the original bottom covers and gluing them in place
@@austinn261 how'd it go?
i absolutely love vintage items with modern technology packed inside. so cool :D
The reason breath of the wild is lagging is cause it is compiling shaders. When you have a complete shader cache the game would run much better
Yeah Matt did not download prebuilt shaders and his performance suffered.
if only the switch had a SSD
@Mark Zimmerman close to SSD. It is NAND flash memory, and the Wii/Wii U use that too. It isn't really an SSD since more is going on being the scenes. SSDs just use flash memory.
If he used Vulkan the shaders would have barely caused the game to lag at all and he would have seen better performance.
oh hi neon
when a gamecube has more ram than your gaming pc
LOL I have 4gb LMAO
i have 16
Jason Huffman I have 8>:(
sounds like you're doing something wrong lol. upgrade your RAM bro
32gb of 3600 here. Git rekt kids

@@nightwingmix1 itd be a challenge of gods
I had a purple one when i was a kid and that fucker hit the floor so many times while it was on (and a disk inside) and it never once broke on me. They dont make em like they used to haha
Love this, the idea of building a mini pc inside an older console has been bouncing around in my head for ages. I appreciate this video existing.
Did you say “classic” the silver one was a special edition one. The purple gamecube and blacks ones were the standard. He must of got a gamecube years after they were a thing
Thank goodness. Only the early models have the digital out port. Edit: this one has a digital out, it was an early model. Thankfully it already wasn’t working!
The platinum is a classic model, it has the digital out port, which only came in the DOL-001 series.
@@znub206 There were also some without it, however.
@@damian9303 correct, nintendo released an updated model of every standard colour, DOL-101, where the digital port was removed because nintendo realised almost no one used it at the time.
Seeing this, I'd love to see an old PS2 turned into a PC.
That would be pretty easy to do; the old ps2's were huge. You could probably easily fit an mini-itx mobo, graphics card, and power supply inside a ps2.
I wanna build a console killer inside a ps4 housing
ChuckDGard and it already has a hard drive bay.
@@ChuckDGard For extra challenge, he can use the PS2 Slim
Otodus Obliquus is there even a cooler that low profile? Sounds unlikely. The original ps2 could probably even fit an RTX card though.
The Nintendo GameCube has always been one of my absolute favorite game systems, so to see someone build a fully functional PC inside it really puts a smile on my face. Keep up the great work!
to cut aluminum sheets, score the cut line with the utility knife, do it few times, then bend around a table corner, then back and forth, you will get a way cleaner cut than what you did :)
a lot of my family does HVAC and works frequently with sheet metal. he could also just get a bigger pair of scissors like these: thd.co/2Xhss5A
Ultimate confusion generator:
1: buy a gaming case, or just use a Compaq.
2: Paint it beige. Preferably add a few tacky processor stickers.
3: Build a gaming PC using that case.
4: Add a keyboard to the front, or, in the case of the Compaq, use the built-in one.
5: Install a modern OS.
6: Theme it to look old.
7: Make the start-up sound the one Win3.1 uses.
8: Bring it with you in public, play triple-A games.
My main rig at work is on an old pentium II based beige case (An old Transtec 1300. I still have the "year 2000 Compliant" sticker on it ... and the floppy drive) with an IBM Model M Keyboard. But, inside, there is an i7 8700k, 16Gb RAM DDR4 3000MHz, A Nvidia 1050Ti (I know, it's not the best but for "just" text editing and network monitoring, it's still overkill), 512Gb SSD PCI-E, and 1.5Tb HDD inside
@@TheotanyaSama pretty nice sleeper setup, ngl
Use a file or emery paper on your aluminium cuts to clean them up a bit, and with those bottom screws maybe small rubber feet to give it a soft stand on surfaces. An awesome and really creative and adventurous mod. Well done!

"Not enough thermal paste"
Imagine doing that whit liquid metal!

I instantly knew he referenced those douchebags.
It's a thermal pad though, not paste
Dawgggg you make it look so easy! And the fact that you did adapted on the fly (like with the controller ports) is so cool. Luv it ❤️❤️❤️

I know this is an older vid, but I still wanted to mention something about the Wii U emulator. On the Cemu demonstration, most of the lag spikes your experiences weren't from performance issues; they were from Shader Stutter (a limitation of modern console emulation). Using a shader pack should remove the shader stutter, but even without those hitches your performance likely wouldn't have gone above 20 or so fps in normal gameplay. Hope this was helpful!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much effort this guy puts into his videos. You deserve more subs

Hosey_Gaming How could you forget about 1st needing a table?
Don't forget to put the PSU on the rubber anti-shock pads!
Kakarot 93 ah yes to prevent the PSU from short circuiting by coming into contact with the rest of the system.
In order to make this build perfect, id have really wanted to see a functional disc drive. But this is still awesome regardless.
As a recommendation. I would go with the 3400g. For emulation the extra CPU horsepower will be great. Also get some quality Ram at the highest MHZ possible. Obviously you probably already know all of this but I would love to see how much gain you would get with those upgrades. I had a 2400g and it played Farcry 5 on medium at a close 60 FPS on some cheap 3000MHz ram.
PRO TIP: heat up the back of a pen and press it in the screw hole while still hot will make you a perfect tool, that's how I opened mibe back in the day
Yes. Thank you. Angels do exist.
Actually this is just an inverted spline bit. Nothing specially made by Nintendo.
@@melmelhodgepodge3800 ok
Just posted this same advice but you havw already done it my good sir
Wouldn't the plastic have a hard time standing up to a tight screw that's been in place since 2001?

i have to say that i had a smile on my face throughout this entire video...love your builds & your journey of learning things along the way -- like soldering, custom cutting things to make other things fit -- things that i never would do myself, but i enjoy watching other people learn & better themselves...
keep up the great work & keep them builds comin'!
The part where he redesigned the bottom of the case is kinda intense... Like, this man just whipped out some bull cutters!
only halfway through your vid and i gotta say, this is a lot better than i expected, mainly because of how casually ungraceful you were with your methods. The ugly melted bottom, the comical amount of clamps, the bolt cutters, just all of it. Most of these types of videos are of people who have tools readily available that makes the job a lot easier. I like how you get it done without meticulously overthinking each process (as i tend to do) and just getting it done. Keep at it man, this was good.

I've been wanting to build this for so long!
The hardware is here now! and this guy did an amazing job! WOW!

You can make breath of the wild run good u just need to install a shader pack that compiles shaders

young pablo So WiiU emulators are an actual thing? I didn’t know. Is it near impossible to find download files for the games?
@@BallisticGhast6 It sure is google CEMU.
@@BallisticGhast6 I have all the cemu files you need if u want them I'll send you the link
Not a good idea. Nearly all of those so called "Community" shader packs are bloated and have been made using much better GPUs than the Vega 8/11 being used here. It is always better from a long term performance perspective to make your own shaders. Ive been playing BotW on my GPD Win 2 with self-made shader cache, so I know what I am talking about
This would really be quite a portable PC. I've always thought the GameCube has one of the most beautiful and ingenious designs. Its lovely little cube shape is one of my favorites. Quite an amazing project you carried here! Congrats. I'd pay for such computer should it be commercial.
people laughed at me because i dreamed of this...
I would honestly love to have a pc the size of this
So small
REALLY portable
AND god
Just came here from Odd Tinkering’s video after this one was recommended. A very interesting take on a different build!
Good job!!

From one professional in his own field to another, I commend your skills!
*removes gamecube pcb* *makes sleeper pc* *installs gamecube emulator*
*s t o n k s*
Why would you not?
There is actually a benefit there, even if all the PC ever did was emulate GameCube games. You can run emulated GC games in 1080p (or higher) and have a crystal clear picture compared to native GameCube games at (I think?) 480i via RCA. I once installed a Switch emulator on my PC and ran BotW at 3440x1440 and it was very sharp.
@@jafizzle95 You can buy adapters now that can upscale the gamecube to 1080p and it looks really good
@@kit7une_ but netplay....
I'm glad you mentioned you were a sautering noob, because it shows that you don't need alot of crafting skill to mod these devices, you just have to have a LOT of passion driving you to create these projects
I thought about this and wondered if someone did it already. And i am not dissapointed! Awesome work! it looks great!
There is a mod for the GameCube that replaces the optical drive with an SD card slot. You could modify it to work with your new GameCube PC.
That mod just replaces the CD drive with the sd card as a form of input. He just ripped out all the original gamecube internals.... that mod won't work anymore.
You could run gamecube roms for a linux/windows emulator though.
lol I hope you see why this comment makes zero sense
all that did was allow gamecube games to be loaded from an SD card which was connected via the memory card slot, in front (the memory cards have a similar pinout to SD Cards) and you needed a modchip or a loader to work with it, didnt work on a stock gamecube firmware
also it didnt replace the DVD drive, only gave another option, you could still use your gamecube disks with it.
Guys, I'm specifically talking about using a plastic insert that replaces the disk drive and allows for SD card functionality. Here's an example.
ruclips.net/video/iKXMIveMmYE/видео.html
I'm not suggesting to use a GameCube mod chip, or any other homebrew method, as a way to get an SD card slot on a PC. That's just ridiculous. I'm just throwing out an idea to make this project a little cooler.
@@mister3speed727 lol
I don’t think you realized how long I’ve been waiting for someone to build something like this. Thank you so much for doing it!
But he literally destroyed the game cube it self... You should never do something like this to such a beloved child hood console
Dude, I love the sleeper PC's!!! I wish I was as tech savvy as you!
I thought about doing this last year. I'm glad you did it first cause I thought it would be a lot easier, boy was I wrong. lol
I love the effort you put into this project. Have you considered remaking it with more moder PC parts and seeing if someone made a 3d printable bottom part of Gamcube's case with the modifications already in place?
It looked like the "lag spikes" are the Cemu emulator caching shaders, what you could do is download a complete shader cache for the game you wish to emulate. There is a lot of things you could do to improve performance ,BsoD Gaming has a lot of tutorials for emulator setups.
15:09 TOXICITY DETECTED
I like how it took me a second to realize Ike is not a playable character in Smash Melee.
This is freaking amazing man! This must have been a pain in the butt to put together! Looks great and man if it wasn't so difficult to put together I would do it myself! Congrats on the coolest Gamecube around!
CEMU and BotW stutter because the Shader Cache was not finished yet / you didn't use a pre-compiled cache pack.
With the latest version of CEMU, you can use Vulkan + async compiling to practically eliminate the stutters, even during shader compilation.
"Definitely gave me flashbacks to a certain PC build"
You were on the *verge* of name dropping them
Edit: Also I'll be honest, 25 fps on 1080p low in Far Cry 5 is impressive for this system, my computer can barely run it and I can't even play at 1080p
sounds like you need to stop being poor
@@Idk910 sounds like you're a spoiled brat
I wasn't aware they'd finished pinning out the GCN controller.
Also, y u no purple (asked by the guy who'd do it in black)
Cute cat!
Linus should do one with the spice orange GameCube lol
What do you mean? It's just what, 4-5 pins? And you don't even need to know what each of them is used for. All you need to do is visually look at the plug and pull wires to the same spot on the GC USB adapter.
It would be super interesting to look at the possibility of adding a pcie thunderbolt to add a GPU dock on the side for more intense emulation
Talk about a great project for a soldering "noob". Honestly, great job.
"Bro, wanna play some minecraft?"
"Yeah sure, lemme just boot up my gamecube."
Try to build a PC inside a PS2 SLIM.
Challenge denied.
It could be possible, take apart an Intel NUC and replace it with the Slim shell lol
EZ mound a latpot far more slim than the ps2 xD
Certain laptop motherboards would definitely fit - including ones with actual GTX graphics
Even if this would be possible. How would it be managed to keep the cpu and gpu cool?
pc in a switch😂
For breath of the wild: Did you try loading up the shaders from the shader pack?
The stuttering in BOTW seems to be caused by Shader Compilation. You could probably fix it downloading precompiled shaders. You should also always use the FPS++ Graphics Pack
2:45 this is why I love the pc community. You can hear something as vague and simple as "a certain pc build video" and everyone knows exactly what your talking about
You had an issue with a disk drive because the design of the original shell case doesn’t allow regular size disks. There was an aftermarket shell case called IcedCube. It is clear, and the design allows regular sized disks to be played. I bought one years ago. I modded my GameCube with it. Still works great.
“Certain pc build video” v e r g e
Getting my parts soon to build one for my girlfriend in college, though im going to try installing a drive bay on the top so you can hit eject and access your drive.
You are a good man.
RETEST BREATH OF THE WILD!
You need to try out the new vulkun API they have, it helps massively for AMD gpu's. Also if you still want to use OpenGL then just download a shader cache for the game (google it) and use that. It will prevent all the stuttering you have.
The fact that you built a computer inside a gamecube and it somehow required boltcutters is hilarious
Cool build! Big gamecube fan, myself. If mine ever bites the dust, I'm glad to know I've got options.
first option would be to attempt to repair it i hope.. if you truly are a gamecube fan :) they're not manufactured anymore, so lets try to not destroy more of them !
"You don't need much power to run Gamecube games" S**t. I remember a time when you needed a monster PC to run even SSBM. XD Dolphin's come a long way in terms of optimisations. even systems that struggled with it back then are also running it well.
Wow this build is just awesome! Can you test some doom, witcher or GTA at 720p? And provide temps. Thanks
On 720p, almost anything run. These games will do it just fine
I forgot I had youtube on 2x speed and was wondering why you were talking so fast and shaking
love coming back to this vid every while, thinking about doing some similar stuff, thank you for being an inspiration
To get that slim DVD drive going, I'd put it underneath inside a blown out GameBoy Player. While you still wouldn't have access to the mini DVD drive lid on top, you'd still have a pretty beefy stealth build with an optical drive.
That is truly amazing. Imagine being in a business meeting and instead of a laptop you pull out a gamecube.....Lol.
2:45 The Verge's PC build

but runs on 20!
You know I could actually do that. I still have my fx 4300 and r7 250 lol
And after 802 standard philips head screws, the tiniest motherboard ever, and somehow fitting a power supply in, we have the coolest GameCube ever.
Pretty funny to see a PC, what I started gaming on at the end of middle school, and continue to play now in college, hiding inside a gamecube, the console of my childhood.
When you say competitive settings does that mean low.
Resolution to max, everything else lowest. Sometimes draw distance to max, depending on the game

“Give me flashbacks to a certain pc build video” HAHAHAHHAHHAHA
I can hear the title
The verge 2000$ pc build video
If you dont wanna wait for a screwdriver to ship, I found some thin copper pipe laying around and heated it up and pressed it onto the screw and it molded to the shape of it
Wiring in the original controller ports is definitely the highlight.
when people say the pc is really cool but the video was uploaded 3 minutes ago and is 15 minutes long
Why does my GameCube feel heavy
I guess it's time to mod my old gamecube that died on november 2014 due to having a stupid brother that just walked by the controller cables
The disk drive idea could possibly have worked with the Panasonic Q, which was an official GameCube that had DVD support that was made to combat Sony's DVD support on the PS2, but those are hard to find and that's basically a collector's item
I know that there used to exist replacement shells that made the tray full DVD sized for burning homebrew and backups to full sized 4.7GB DVDs... I don't know if they still exist or how much they go for, but maybe now that 3D Printing is more common and accessible...?
Breath of the wild might just need a shader cache, that's why it stuttered instead of constant low framerate, try downloading a shader cache for it it should remove the stuttering
