I don't mean to sound bitter, but I realized why I, personally, found myself looking back to old games I never experienced and I think alot of people are like me; it's because modern games are very underwhelming in a variety of ways. GaaS, Free to play, Always online drm, games with on disc dlc, Nft Integration, huge day 1 patches, and gacha games are making me realize video game's glory days might be in the past. I disagree and refuse to support all of those modern video game conventions. you'll notice none of these things are "make a good game"

Great. DarthCloud puts a lot of effort in BlueRetro project, it's a joy to see such massive mods come into life. Personally i'm using blueretro for ps2 wich i've built myself using esp32 dev board. The best thing about BlueRetro is that if you don't want to spend money then this mod can be super cheap, or contrary expensive and elegant like this GC kit. Best of both worlds and anyone can be happy with it. Also i want to add that esp32 board is very popular novadays in retroscene, but most of the devs involved (unlike DarthCloud) do not make it opensource. For example both Saturn (Fenrir 20pin) and PSX (Xstation) ODE's use esp32 and in theory could be DIY for just a few bucks, but they are not. Sadly.

There already are, you can wire up to 4 controllers to a single esp32 devboard, or even have breakout PCBs (let's you carry the esp32 module between systems, so you don't need to re-pair your controllers if you use it on say your GC and SNES). It can be a tad costly, I ordered parts for 3 of the main PCBs, 3 adapter boards for GC, some LEDs and resistors, and resin 3d printed shells for all 6 (well 10 of each of those, same cost as 3). All in it was about $230-$250 us. Probably a lot cheaper if you 3d print the cases yourself, but my printer was down

This is absolutely amazing! A few months ago I was on a quest to add wireless functionality to all of my retro consoles. Almost every one of them (even the more obscure ones like Neo Geo and PCE) had a plug and play adapter, but GameCube strangely was missing an easy solution. BlueRetro existed but it was only an open source DIY solution. There wasn't anything really commercially available. But now this kit comes along and surpasses all of my wildest expectations. Fully integrated bluetooth in a drop-in kit and packed with other features. I can't wait to get my hands on it! I would love to see if it pairs with an 8Bitdo GBros adapter. That's kind of the dream, to have an OEM controller playable wirelessly just like a Wavebird, but with rumble!

You have to take apart your GameCube as well as any retro and modern consoles. Why? Because you need to really clean them inside specially the fans. Spraying some pressure air into the consoles open vents does nothing but to push more dust into them. I recommend opening your console for cleaning once a month or every two months. Also get familiar with soldering, specially on retro machines. They will need repairs eventually.

The fact that this replaces the original controller board meaning I don't have to solder on a new real time clock battery is great! My GC's battery is dead as a doornail and only advances while the system is actively powered on, unlike the Wii which takes the residual power from the PSU to prevent having to take power from the CR2032 battery. The Bluetooth controller functionality is also really well thought out. It's a tad pricey for my budget but this is definitely something to think about for long-term usability of the console.

FW update suggestion , make the controller port LED's match the lights on the PS4/5 controllers so player 1 has blue lights on both the controller and the GC controller port, player 2 has had red lights on both the controller and the GC controller port etc. seems so immediately obvious ,I mean assuming the controller port LED's are RGB, at that price I would hope they would be

Imagine this kind of update for systems that only had two controller ports but supported multi-taps. Imagine four M30s seamlessly connect to your Sega Genesis after you've inserted NHL 94 in the cartridge slot. Racing wheel support would be a game changer for experiencing games like Gran Turismo 3 on PS2 on original hardware. At $100 a piece, I could see myself adding this to every console I own, honestly. Modern quality of life improvements like this are underrated on home consoles.

Pre ordered as soon as I watched this video. Also looking forward to playing the gameboy player with a PS4 controller as its got a much better D-PAD than the Wavebird.

Recently purchased another used GC console due to getting a good deal on it which I originally intended on applying the Pico mod to, but this additional BT mod came out of left field which took me by surprise. When this finally comes to market, I will definitely be in line for one, but not at the starting price of $100. H3ll, I only paid $65 in total for the GC with 2x add'l controllers and a Wavebird missing the receiver.

You’re not paying for parts alone. People work hard to develop these mods, bring them to us for purchase and continue to support and update them. That’s what you’re paying for. And a wave bird without a receiver is a decorative paperweight.

@@mattakadanja there are other alternate methods to achieve wireless connectivity using a GC controller on a GC, and you can spin it however you want, but in my opinion spending/investing $100 on said mod to use on a used, 2nd-hand GC I don't think is a good use of my money regardless of what the mod has to offer when there are other superior modern day methods to play GC games which are more easily practical to employ and offer better quality of life improvements. I'm very aware that my Wavebird is useless w/o a receiver which was only secondary to the point I was making in my original comment since it was bundled in w/ the used GC lot I purchased, but you don't have to sound so much like a shill 😅😆😂

It would be great to see you referencing the 8bitdo Pro Plus line, rather than always the PlayStation controllers that you've been using for your test purposes as of late. Would just be great to know what your thoughts are with those and I believe that those are actually more likely to be used. Just a thought. As always, a very well put together piece of content!

Color assignability would be pretty rad on the ports. Then you can have them the appropriate color to match the PlayStation LED.

I like the sleep/wake function. It would be dope if it had built in rf receivers too so you don't need the dongle to use a wavebird.

I have to wonder if we will ever see an open source solution like this that uses a pi pico W as an all in one pico boot,LED mod and bluetooth solution , maybe the original GC controller port could be used and someone could develop a passthough ribbon cable connector board for those who won't want to solder. I like the idea of using one pi pico to control pico boot, LED mod ,and BT mod and keeping the original controller port board intact I mean once the pico W finally gets the bluetooth support from rpi foundation implemented.
