Great and professional video! Big thanks for showcasing the cubeode and NGC shells. Hope the subscribers like it. Please let us know if there're any questions.🤟🤟

@deathbob091 Ай бұрын

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 !

@knifeknerdreviews4609 Ай бұрын

you can add bluetooth? Oh man now you're talking...

@Blue_Shirt_Guy_NPC Ай бұрын

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

I like your regular rant / review videos but REALLY enjoy videos like this one. 👍

@gamelordabd Ай бұрын

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.

@me234234 Ай бұрын

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.

@just_delightful Ай бұрын

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.

@spriteous Ай бұрын

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

@SoundToxin Ай бұрын

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.

@dannonyogurt98 Ай бұрын

I recommend going with a raspberry pi pico. Gives you ODE for like $10 without having to lose the drive itself.

@gamelordabd Ай бұрын

Yeah, but the Picoboot mod requires soldering, and not everyone's willing to do that.

@Zion767318 Ай бұрын

This is what I went with to help preserve the Disc Drive.

@johnmorris7899 Ай бұрын

The floppy drive is the best of both

@dannonyogurt98 Ай бұрын

@@johnmorris7899 You mean the flippy? As far as I know that's not even on the market yet. I'm going to put the flippy in my other GameCube but If you can do some very basic soldering you still can't beat the $10 price tag of the Pico.

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.

Looks great! You really can take a turd of a GameCube and make it into something people would treasure.

@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

Not sure if you are in the Seattle area but I would happily install picoboot in your GameCube for you for free if you want to play with that and the og disc drive.

@scherge Ай бұрын

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.

It's worth it for the digital video port also. Cleanly adapts to HDMI.

The case swap I wouldn’t have any issue my problem would be to add Swiss and Roms, I am clueless when it comes to that stuff. I wish I knew someone I could pay to hook my GameCube up.

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)

You need to get the port lights installed.
