Can it run bootleg games sir?

thanks for explaining usb cables to me. deff not a waste of time

Regarding the Clock - The Cart stores the date and time on the cartridge on part of the circuit the GB OP doesnt read. So when you put it into the Anologue, the console reads the correct time or i beleive so. This is actually benefical for setting times for Evolutions ( Day / Night ) or activating Day / Night stuff in game.

Fun fact, it also charges through the USB-A, if for some reason you lost that barrel plug and have an ancient cable around.

if the console is turned on while you change the battery it will keep your save data

What is the correct value of ohms in dol 001 gamecube?

From what I've read/watched there was particularly bad input lag with this controller on release (specifically in DInput mode, I believe) and they improved it in a firmware update later. So make sure to update it when you get one in case it still has old firmware from the factory.

kester is dope should still use flux

Nice! Thanks for the video! One question, it's possible to play Master System games in megadrive with this controller? Thanks!

Should the PowerOwl charger be connected to its power source before inserting the batteries for charging, or can you insert the batteries before connecting the charger to your pc or charging adaptor? It’s just my other charger is a HiQuick and you have to connect the charger before inserting the batteries for charging!

On my model (very late model DOL-101) the white optical ribbon cable is secured to the board with adhesive, not a black frame that you can slide out before removing. I haven't seen anybody else have this problem. How do I go about unplugging the ribbon without damaging it?

So a AC block does not work with charger? What did you plug white cable into?

I'll be getting this for PlayStation 1 and 2, but I'm so confused about what to buy a ps4 or ps5 controller. you try them both, which is Most suitable

do you have to use their sticks, or can you re-use the OG ones?

thanks for the video! do you mind sharing the names and links to the items you used for the repair? I'm running into the same issue and going to try to fix my own GameCube.

Great Video! Thanks for the straightforward content.

I love this but the battery life is actually pathethig. renember the wii u pro controller? that thing lasted for like a month without recharging. that was really cool.

Paired with the black dog technology controller port Bluetooth board. This thing modernizes the GameCube. You don’t need the dongle with the board so it just looks so clean compared to the wavebird.

What kind of review is that, you didn’t even remove them from the package. You expect people to just take your word for it.

I have the usb dongle receiver plug on my switch dock and that thing is a champ i connected a ps4 controller to it for when i play some games on my tv mostly monster hunter

Thanks for visiting

Who knows that you could connect your existent wired GC controller and 8bitdo GBros adapter wirelessly to that GC adapter. No mods! That could’ve helped saving money instead of buying Wavebirds and NGC Mod Kit.

It's great if you already have a GC controller. I've read rumors about Nintendo releasing a new GC controller for when they add it to the Switch Online so I think I'll wait for that and then get the 8bitdo wireless receiver to use on my Wii.

I think your upscaler is the main reason for lag. Try on a CRT! :)

Definitely cool seeing old pinball machines before they had the flippers

I just fixed mine. I originally set it at 180 like the video but no good. I had to turn it all the way down to 25. I guess it just depends on how worn out it is

I have a Wavebird, but I never want to use it. It feels wrong to play the games without vibration, if they meant to have it 😅

I love the look of this controller. It screams 90's. I already know it's terrible to use though.

Exactly what I was looking for. Great video!

That is some S tier luck

Can i use this adapter to play old games like Alien versus Predator (1999) on Steam using the PS4 or PS5 controller?

Don't order those "Trident" all-in-one cables for a setup like this - they're intended for a Model 1 Genesis (the long one with the headphone jack) and those add-ons. The Model 2 Genesis seen here uses the exact opposite type of power (center positive, while Model 1 is center negative), so the combo cable would fry your console!

Two questions; how is the audio since the original Mega CD needed an audio patch cable and does the powerbrick do the different voltages for the different consoles? I just got my first Mega CD and it's a 2 and so is the console, I'm not sure if that was handled internally by then or if I should split the audio off the 9 pin din and mix it like with the original model. I still have my original Mega drive/Genesis and someday it will get a Mega CD as well, I really would like that original Mega CD, I drooled over it at the time.

i think most obviously i used to play a lot more platform games (yoshi's island, crash bandicoot, donkey kong country). even if they were brutal at my age/eye-hand coordination level, i'd just bang my head against them until i got my twitch reflexes down. these days I don't really have patience for platformers at all. CRPGs, with the occasional dip into RTS/strategy/sim, is where i'm at.

..unless you're like me, and have liked "old guy games" like RPGs since you were a little kid lol. I already heavily leaned in that direction and just have slowly even moreso over the years

Back in the day for me it was all action. Contra. Castlevania. R-Type. Etc. while I still love these games, strategy is really what I grew into as I got older. Turn based tactics games never appealed to me until I hit my 40s (I’m playing Tactics Ogre for the first time). Once I gave them a chance and ‘got’ them, it completely changed my perspective. Now they’re among my favourites.

This kind of sound like a generational and age conversation as well, as someone who grew up with NES games were more rough around the edges and it taught us more patience and forethought and random precise actions while playing games. You hear it a lot with older gamers where they think games are getting easier and easier, and to some extent that is true, but it’s also because game control has progressively gotten better over the years and those who learned on older games have already developed skills that makes it easier to adapt to newer games. And the adverse is also true, as newer games require more twitch reactions, older gamers tend to rely more on forethought and memorization rather than reaction.

My taste hasn't changed, it's expanded.

I always say unless it's like an anxiety thing, the timer in Majora's Mask is functionally nonexistent. Like in terms of the narrative and such it's fantastic, but in terms of "limiting" your ability to do stuff, it gives you so many "checkpoints" like you can complete each temple in pieces over the course of three or four cycles if you really need to.

I used to play more arcade games that required fast reflexes like FPS games. Nowadays I prefer more games with turn based combat like in Persona 5 or Dragon Quest, even though I had never been interested in JRPGs before

Not my situation, I grew up with fighters & RPGs as a kid, and I still like fighters and RPGs. Just played both Baldur's Gate 1 and BG3 back to back, all good... and Retroarch to replay old games and stuff I missed because it was only in arcades when I feel bad. Also still playing Tomb Raider. Literally same old ones with remasters now. There's a reason they're re-releasing stuff all the time, and series get to numbers so high publishers get embarrassed and we end up with five Lara Croft continuities and THREE games that are called Mortal Kombat 1... People kind of keep wanting more of the same, so you get re-release of a remastered version of a remake.

I've not changed much at all. The things I seek are story, lore, progression and verisimilitude. I utterly despise combat that is so challenging that you need to learn an encounter to beat it. And PVP. It's the worst thing in gaming because it brings out the nasty little trolls and meta freaks.

hmm. Good question. I have a lot of nostalgia for Crash Bandicoot, and some levels of Warped and Cortex Strikes Back in particular. I also used to enjoy Zoo Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon, but just the sandbox element (and the dolphin training in Zoo Tycoon 2 Marine Mania). I wasn't much into the tycoon element of it. In real life I still don't overly care about money nor do I care for seeing numbers go up on a screen for the sake of it, it's so boring. But maybe the approaching the challengeds from a strategic perspective would be fun now. Planet Zoo and Planet Coaster don't really hit the same since the managiing part has way more tedious steps from what I've seen. I have generally gotten more into games though. Many things, but decidedly not the overtly competitive or the action games (too overstimulating with all the flashes and numbers on screen, which is decidely the opposite of fun to me. It even trigger migraines). But a farm-life sim, rhythm game, puzzle game, or a metroidvania that fits my style all work. I'm getting pickier by the month though. I won't ever be able to play everything and I don't want to give up my other hobbies either.

I ironically love Majoras Mask even though I don't like time limits, love turtling tho haha. I'm having a hard time thinking of a game to match the subject of this video. I can say though I feel I appreciate games I played as a younger me more even though it is way easier for me to get a game to play now then when I was younger.

2:33 - "I realized I was kind of a stupid kid" Anyone who doesn't realize they were a stupid kid at one point is stupid as an adult. As for games I appreciate differently now, flight sims in general were something I had no patience for as a kid; similarly, when I first tried RTS games my thought was "a worker costs just as much as a soldier, so it's better to just buy another soldier!"- obviously, that made most missions obscenely difficult past the earliest points of the game. And on another note, I've definitely turned the difficulty up as I've matured- when I was a kid, I used to always play on the easiest difficulty offered; nowadays the answer is much too complicated to give a simple answer, but the short version is "usually a just above normal difficulty", which depending on the game is often hard mode. Being in my mid-30s now, I've actually been worried for a while about my reactions slowing and not being able to play some of my favorite games- titles like Mega Man Zero, Cave Story, and Cross Code are certainly not a walk in the park... I'm glad to see that I can still handle these kinds of games, but I know the day is coming where I'll be sticking primarily to turn-based games, and that does have me kind of terrified; not that I don't enjoy turn based games- I very much enjoy them- but there are so many great action games out there that I want to be able to enjoy as well.

I'm glad people are starting to really give Metroid the appreciation it deserves. The linking with Fusion on the GBA gives you access to the Fusion Suit as a cosmetic in Prime. It looks really cool in action! As for Metroid 1, I think it's a great game with a bad reputation because people just aren't used to NES games and don't have to patience to deal with the learning curve. I find myself agreeing a lot with this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npPMeoOkrb5jl80 I will say that a lot of the quality-of-life improvements by the emulation scene make it a lot easier to get into for modern players (especially beam-stacking and starting with fully charged Energy Tanks) but even then I think the difficulty is overstated and the vanilla game is perfectly enjoyable in 2024.

My favourites are a link to the past and a link between worlds. They're all so good though.

Another great video. You have a nice voice and a way with words.

Great video. Would like to see more talky videos like this. This is the first video of yours I've seen btw.

I'm a heathen so any Zelda game, I played the OG on a friend NES in the 90s, but I didn't have a Nintendo system until I bought a Wii and DS as an adult, at that point I didn't enjoy/ wasn't interested in the ones I tried. I kinda liked OoT in the 3DS but never got past the midle of the game. I'm now 39 and loving them on the Switch, already finished Link's Awakening, slowly enjoying BoTW, and playing OoT on N64.
