The Gamecube just turned 20-years-old! Feeling nostalgic, I was looking into getting a GB player for the first time and attempting to restore my own beat up console that reads my discs with varying success, so this came at the perfect time. Very cool video!

[@javierbarron8605]

To give the gamecube the treatment it deserves, its a thing of beauty.

[@trevorcarter1730]

Dude GameCube was one of the best consoles. I still love going back and playing my old games. This modded GameCube is legendary! 😍

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you!!!

[@supertoadmods]

The white power led with the port leds looks so crisp! Love it.

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you so much for checking out the video! The Giveaway portion of the video has ended and the winner has been announced here - twitter.com/RockerGameMod/status/1471711783316594696?s=20

[@gamingsucks5349]

That was cool 😎

[@nathaniel9338]

Ya

[@SlenderSphere]

LEDs make any tech run faster; it's a known fact. Awesome work!

[@RockerGaming]

Like stickers on a car, right? 😂😂😂 thank you 🙌🙌

[@aleshacarter7013]

Gamecube was my childhood, this is amazing!!

[@seanm1738]

One more GameCube rescued to live on in all of its glory!! Nice restoration work!

[@Venthros]

This is an absolutely amazing build. Love the lighting!

[@GabeOG_]

This is sick! Been meaning to get a gamecube modded after finally getting my old gamecube system back after so many years. The whole process system and video was epic

[@RockerGaming]

man i appreciate the hell outta that! I would recommend it, it makes the library so much more accessible!

[@Charleszard123]

Idk why but I love seeing dirty consoles being cleaned and freshened up, good luck to everyone

[@colebmcgraw823]

Very cool video!! easily the most informative channel I've come across while doing some research into what to look for when purchasing a modded GC

[@LuisOrtega00]

Nice work Man. Incredible. I remember saving up money as a kid in order to buy my GameCube this is definitely one of my favorite console.

[@Wonderb0b]

You make this stuff look easy! Been subbed for a little while and I've loved watching your mods and restorations, your designs for gamecubes and controllers are always amazing! It's so cool to see people with this much skill giving love to an older and somewhat neglected console. You, Citrus and Laser Bear all did a fantastic job on this and should be extremely proud of yourselves, keep up the great work!

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you!!! At least I made the mods look easy... playing games.... not so much, lol

[@ELBURRO02]

The GameCube is so under appreciated it's so powerful and has so many great games with a wavebird you don't need anything else

[@georg6876]

Man. Those glow in the dark filaments are always a pain in the ass to print.

[@RockerGaming]

I agree, Greg is the man, his prints are SOOOO CLEAN!

[@blowfishes]

Love the non-solder GC Loader board, though my confidence level would end there, and I wouldn't personally attempt any soldering for fear of breaking everything. Great video, and fantastic upgrade on the best coloured Gamecube 💜

[@SSJNalgas]

One of the nicest looking GameCube consoles that I’ve seen.

[@evoltnvii]

Good job love the clean installation.

[@alejandrorangel7668]

Awesome outcome! That GameCube is well refined with those mods

[@DiskCart]

Holy cow man! Shoutout to Rockers love for his community!

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you sir! I really do, the community has kept me going when I could have stopped a long time ago. In many ways when I started off by giving out all the tips and tricks I figured out over the years, it felt like a swan song. In reality, it sparked interest in others to try their own hand at modding and that inevitably led to people sharing what they made and further innovating themselves... and... that my friends is super powerful and it has kept not only myself, but the entire scene moving forward, its really the golden age for this stuff and its amazing!

[@cyrus3055]

I love this. It's so cool you make these.

[@Danofman99]

This build is super clean looking. Not too much going on, but really pops when it's turned on. Very cool!

[@rewster9864]

Great work this console brings back fond memories.

[@Spice__King]

Man, that 3D printed holder for the SD extension really helps clean up the normal installs where you need to reach into the guts to pull out the SD card for what ever reason.

[@AMOB97]

sweet restoration vid man the console looks good

[@toddcarter9379]

It looks so beautiful!!!!

[@jeremiah4985]

Thanks for the video ! Enjoy all your videos and tutorials!! Thanks again 🙌🏾👍🏽

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you so much for checking it out!!!

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

That looks great! Keep it up!

[@TYxki]

The GameCube is my favorite console of all time! Thanks for showcasing how awesome it still is!

[@sokignano]

This is awesome! Your work is amazing!

[@MaximumRD]

Done! Wow what a great job, beautiful result, the ultimate cube. 😍

[@EstebanM89]

It looks beautiful great work!

[@slawomirklucznik7940]

Man. That looks gorgeous. Great job. Been meaning to make one for my kids so they can experience my Gen of games. Parts are hard to get a hold of

[@Julap69]

Amazing ! Every video you throw on a cube brings me back to 14 years old me soldering my xenoGC. Great work man !

[@Pyangryong]

Great Video. Love the LED inside the Disc Loader.

[@jettex7129]

That looks awesome, great mod👍

[@jonferretti5569]

Awesome as always!

[@mtrx9816]

I like the fact that there was just regular restoring to the console's outside rather than fancy spray painting and such. I like when a console or controller gets the custom paint treatment but sometimes I prefer more the vanilla/default side of things. I really like how this build turned out, and good luck to y'all!

[@mastercraft64]

I agree I like the idea of a "sleeper" console of sorts

[@RockerGaming]

Same, I always try to do videos on both topics. I am not great at painting so my roots are doing restorations. IDK why, but there is something so satisfying about taking something dirty/broken and restoring it to its former glory!

[@danielcastillo3039]

Awesome video! I love watching you mod!

[@badboo82]

nice mod, I really loved, simple and at the same time complete.

[@lolaway2580]

Nice one! This mod turned out great man

[@Pslamist]

This is pretty incredible man. I've always felt like the Wii modding scene overshadows the GC one in a few ways, but you always make a creative and convincing argument against that! Keep it up my guy.

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you!!! Let there be no doubt the Wii software side has this beat hands down, but man the GC has so much more potential from the aesthetics side of the house!

[@keilmillerjr9701]

My kids love the GameCube more than our Wii or switch. Easy menu with swiss, and classic controllers.

[@PrettyBlueThings]

What a beautiful GameCube! And a great video, thoroughly enjoyed it 😁

[@riskbreaker87]

Really awesome as always

[@normanhumblemejia7513]

I’m really excited to try some of these mods and thank you for a really streamlined video!

[@reygamingchannel1505]

Great build! Awesome video!

[@douglasberry4891]

What a sweet mod. Great job!!

[@TomQuarterman]

Another great build for a great system

[@skald4587]

Super clean!

[@RailfanS1]

That gc loader mod is so clean and adds so much functionality to these consoles. It’s nice to see one of these things being put back into use.

[@user-ip5tv7qf5d]

Nice job 👏 this gamecube is amazing!!!

[@easy_skweezy]

Great job with this mod!

[@zombierevival591]

Awesome build and great video.

[@tonygiorgianni5435]

Great video I have been wanting to get into gc modding for a while this has inspired me to give it a go

[@tommygoo81]

Once again great work, looks amazing!!!

[@RockerGaming]

Thanks Josh!!!

[@aboutkab]

Nice GC, the controller port led's are my favourite mod ! Great video as always !

[@clearelement1051]

I love your mods and I wouldn't have heard about the gcloader if it wasn't for you videos. Keep it up!!

[@yazansayyed]

Very cool console and video! And I always appreciate when creators talk about their mistakes, important for learning and growth.

[@RockerGaming]

I agree, I can do a better job of that myself, but it always help answer the why questions that will pop up! I appreciate that, thank you!!

[@W0NDERwaffle3]

That thing is beautiful! Never had a indigo GameCube either but I always loved my controller

[@noahmccune2266]

Good stuff as always!

[@Knikr0]

[@mariyoo64]

[@isaiahkephart3438]

This is AWESOME!

[@JonD88]

Awesome work! 😃

[@TheJimmys11]

Great vid as always. Makes me wanna pick up modding myself at some point.

[@RockerGaming]

its a lot of fun and super satisfying. Nothing like playing with/using something you had a hand in making!

[@eears100]

That is beautiful!

[@kennethnichols39]

You make me fall back in love with the GameCube every time I watch your videos. I would love to have a cube like that. You make the best form of art I know!!

[@RockerGaming]

man everytime I make a new cube I feel like I gotta make room on the shelf for it, lol. They are such a blast to mod!

[@TDot_SSB]

Awesome mods. I actually just a bought a melee gamecube jewel from your Etsy a few weeks ago. Turned out great!

[@RockerGaming]

Heck yeah, glad you like it and THANK YOU!!

[@richardrogers9893]

Always enjoy eating you mod a GameCube hopefully you can more like this with some cool colours. Thanks for your content and keep up the good work 👍

[@kyleyox7600]

Dude, I'm so exited that you made this vid. I've been wondering what a modern modded game cube looks like. You got me into modding mine and even helped me make my own when I had problems. I tweeted you and you replied with a helping had. Thank you for igniting my hobby and helping.

[@RockerGaming]

dude, love hearing this and hell yeah! I am just glad other people enjoy this as much as I do! I love seeing everyones work!

[@user-gz4zu2zg7g]

Great build!

[@eduarde9]

great video! i love that gamecube modding is still a thing and people still enjoy playing these old games that dont need updates or logins

[@RockerGaming]

amen to this comment. I can boot a game and play immediately, that is a lost part of the art for sure!

[@steveshore5661]

Very cool video! Thank you for the entertainment.

[@binglet0n]

I love to see the Gamecube still getting so much love. Nice work!

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you! I love the cube, still some of my favorite version of games are on that console!

[@seabass4357]

Love seein what’s still possible with a GameCube nowadays

[@andrewgruitt5043]

That looks soo sick

[@FreeCode33]

Nice work and on my favorite color of the Gamecube.

[@m.3.3.w]

Great video! Wish I had the soldering skills to do such a thing! Loved it!

[@paulgrimm1757]

Sick build! Hype for the giveaway!

[@shanecarter4141]

Dang this is awesome!

[@Lifeonwaves]

Great video, love the indigo purple GC.

[@shamwow2000]

incredible mod! hope to see more :)

[@bl1zz]

Fantastic job! I had no idea you could do these nice mods to the OG GC, makes me want to hunt a orange variant down & give it a try

[@TheSuperjr3000]

Let's go! Seems like fairly easy mods for most people to do themselves to install

[@amahumahaba6534]

Pretty sick. I really like the white LEDs on the indigo cube.

[@ccooper2654]

Cool mods - the Game Cube was always a cool looking machine to me - you made it only better.

[@sixstrng]

Looks so cool

[@roteca]

Nice and clean mods. 👌

[@fenriswolfretro6729]

From Trash to Treasure! I love seeing restorations and mods like this. Well done, Rocker!

[@RockerGaming]

Amen to that, its one of my favorite types of videos to make!

[@JonFawkes]

I'm glad something like this is still possible and fairly easy in 2021/2022, hopefully the modding community keeps it alive for years to come

[@RockerGaming]

Amen!

[@troysleeth3709]

Great video. Learning a lot from your vids. Thanks much

[@RockerGaming]

Super glad to hear that! Thank you!!

[@omegamog]

I think this my favourite GameCube. It's still purple and looks like a GameCube, it's just better.

[@Frozen_Ketchup]

Love the work you do for the community

[@jeffersonia]

Awesome stuff. The gamecube is in a really good spot. Plug and play HDMI and ODE mods to not only play the Gamecube library, but the whole GB, GBC, & GBA libriaries as well. A must have system.

[@Josh02CG]

Someday I will be able to make mods as cool as these, I barely know the basics but with practice it will be possible Amazing work!

[@an_unidentified_emu]

This looks sick
