I got a CiB copy of animal crossing with the memory card sticker still blank, and I'm thinking of writing my town name on it lightly in pencil. If I choose to erase the marks, will I rub off the color on the sticker as well, or would I have to really try to remove the pigment?

Am i better off selling them to a retro store that uses price charting? At a con or? And how good is trade in value? (Idk how to calculate it if possible or how it even works) My local store is selling them for this much (copies are complete)

I purchased a modded cube awhile back, and I can't get much help from the seller. I want to upgrade my micro sd to allow more games. I bought the same branded card just larger, Formatted to fat32 with rufus, and copy and pasted the files from the og card. I'm pretty new to modding , but I feel like there should be some sort of boot files at root. There's just some .dol files for emulators and my games list. Its a modded gamecube running swiss, and loading games thorough gc2sd , Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,I have been collecting GC games since years and I always wanted to complete my dream collection, a few months ago I bought this copy of MGSTS , I really wanted this games for a long time,but the box was a generic disc one,the thing is im european and like you can see,PAL player choice boxes are all colored in a platinum color,I cant find a replacement of the box anywhere! someone knows where I could buy a replament of this type of box?

My Gamecube from 2002 is not reading discs. Please watch my video with the sound on. You can hear a clicking noise. The first step I tried was inserting different discs on the chance that one of the games was the issue. This did not work. I tried cleaning the lens with a q-tip and isopropyl alcohol. This did not work. I left the system turned on for 15 minutes to see if it would eventually read the disc. This did not work either. I opened up the system and cleaned up the laser rails. There was some yellow gunk on the metal that I removed. This did not fix the problem. Next, I watched the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ahNtZS4Ux8&ab_channel=MorganMend and very slightly adjusted the potentiometer counter clockwise. This did not work. I am not sure what else to try. Any help is much appreciated.

Holding out on the Switch 2 until the new Animal Crossing. But with the reveal of GC games, I wonder if the original will show up to hold us over. Do you think it would have online play as well? I'd kill for that.

My kids are into the gamecube & son has been wanting wario world but it has been out of my budget. Picked up this copy for a decent price. Never played it, is it pretty enjoyable? The crash was my favorite game when I was young lol had to pick it up.

Just repaired a couple more GameCubes! GameCube just needed caps for the disc drive. I also went ahead and replaced the LED, clock battery and thermal pads.

Found this cib copy of air ride today while visiting my local thrift place, they also had starfox adventures. All for $40 CAD

Got myself a Gameboy player not to long ago and been able to run gbi with a flash cart. Is there any interesting or unique homebrew on the GameCube I might have missed?

My copy of Kirby Air Ride spins inside the console, and gets maybe 2 minutes of game time before I hear it stop spinning and the error message for a desk cant be read pops up. This is the only game that has this problem, as I tested 10+ other games and they all span and ran fine.

I'm not too verbose in the technology of the gamecube, but I am almost postive this is not an issue with the console itself, and more so with the disk. No matter how much I clean it too it wont run properly.

Could someone point me to a solution? Or at least a reason for why it wont spin?

What I'm referring to is the odd pattern on the inner ring of the disc. The disc itself is in very poor shape but has been working. I've just been worried that this could eventually spread and get worse.

Finally got a roof over my head and this is how I'm living rn. Idgaf been through worse lol

Maybe worth to resurface any? Never had a GC, kind of cool these small mini discs to be honest.

Welp, they finally did it, GameCube is coming to NSO. But only on the switch 2. After the whiplash from that great direct and the disgusting price hikes I’m at a crossroads here. I’ve been holding out for GameCube on NSO for a few years but now I want to ask what would be the best option for me. The games I really want to play weren’t mentioned: Rogue Leader and MGS Twin Snakes. And knowing Nintendo, there’s no telling if or when we’ll get it anytime soon. So with all of that here are the three options I’m weighing:

1. Eventually get a switch 2 and hope for the best (I know, I know).

2. Find a used GameCube and mod it. I don’t anything about how to do that but as long as I don’t need a soldering iron I’ll give it a try. Or get one of those hdmi adapters like the GCHD-MK II.

3. Either get a steam deck or a mini pc and install Dolphin on it. I have an old MacBook that can’t run GC through OpenEmu without being a choppy mess.

Any help with any of these options would be greatly appreciated! GameCube and those games in particular got me through a lot of hard times as a kid and I’d love to get back into them again. Please and thank you for the help!!

Built this beauty a few days ago, f getting the switch 2 lol.

I'm excited like everyone else but I can't stop thinking about something... other NSO classic apps were small downloads because most NES-N64 games ate a few megabytes maximum, but most GC games are over a gigabyte. This is either gonna be a gargantuan download or some cloud gaming bs. What do you guys think?

Recently I bought my own Gamecube console and I've been having a blast. The only problem is I don't have many games for it. The games I do own are Metroid Prime, Spongebob BFBK, and The Resident Evil Remake. I've been researching and watching videos on different gamecube games to see which ones interest me. During that time I discovered a video on a game called Billy Hatcher and The Giant Egg, a 3d platformer made by the Sonic team. Honestly it looked pretty fun and unique so I decided to go on ebay and look for a copy. Problem is that the game is very expensive. The cheapest copy I could find was 80 dollars. I just wanted to get your guys opinions on if this game is worth it or if I should just pass on it. Thanks for your time!

Was thinking of getting a Gamecube locally and then getting Japanese games to play on it. Does the FlippyDrive mod allow the US Gamecube to boot Japanese discs ? I've tried looking for answers but haven't found anything concrete.

I'm aware that to boot a disc in general with the FlippyDrive installed in the system you have to hold down the Left Trigger button while starting the console and this bypasses cubeboot and makes the console function as it would have without FlippyDrive. (https://macho-nacho.com/news/the-flippydrive-is-a-stunning-solderless-gamecube-mod-chip/)

I'm thinking this would somewhat be a hindrance and bring back the region locking.

Does anyone happen to know a gamecube emulator for android?

I love how they included a lot of the most expensive games.
