Favorite controller?

This one is mine.. metal thumb sticks feel really good and don't wear down.. buttons feel good except Z like 99% of knock off gamecube controllers.. if anyone knows what game it's from or where to get another like it please let me know! I can find similar cheap ones but none built like this

Just found this stack of games

Just found this stack of old gamecubes games, they are all pretty scratched, I doubt any of them will even play. Regardless, are they worth anything?

Question on how to run swiss

I was looking into adding an SD card and running swiss. I found SD2SP2 PRO Adapter and a Xeno chip paired on Amazon, do I need to create a disk as well to run swiss?

We have a dol-001 NTSC GameCube so I'm pretty sure this should all work fine, I'm just assuming the Swiss software has to boot from a disk and not the SD card that's plugged into the adapter? It's not specifically listing that it includes a boot disc.

Pickups from FB marketplace (and a black Friday switch game)

Got both chibi robo and pokemon colosseum for 300 bucks. Sounds wild but I already had colloseum no manual, so I can sell it and hopefully come out with complete colloseum and Chibi Robo for 150~

Pretty excited about it!

xenogcfork not booting any DOL file

Hi, I've wanted to patch my Xeno (not Xen8) v2 to launch Swiss without having to go through the save exploit. I learned of this which is another firmware for the Xeno which launches a xeno.dol file on the memory card. I have such a file placed on my memcard; it is not named boot.dol and it is not on an SD card, to clarify. This is the xeno.gci included with the latest release of Swiss. I have successfully flashed this firmware to the xeno chip. However, when holding Start to begin the payload, nothing really happens. The screen remains black, and the disc drive stops for a moment, only to keep spinning. Notably, when my memory card is not inside the console I get the error "could not find xeno.dol", so the flash must have worked. Out of curiosity I also tried a different memcard with the file not on it, and the error shows there too. For clarification, the existence of the error is not the issue. The issue is that, when a xeno.dol file exists on the card, the file does not load at all.

I am using a DOL-101. The only internal mod is the Xeno (but there is some LEDs installed to it too). I have 1 controller connected, memcard in slot A, SDGecko in slot B. I've tried the memcard in slot B, and I've tried without the SD Gecko. What can I do about this?

Modkit Treament

8BitDo mod-kit treatment came through last night, finally I can sit back and recline while gaming, no more hard floor seating.

Would recommend this modkit for anyone not to concerned about defiling their controller. Overall buttons feel good, Z clicks now though, but everything is pretty spot on.

Gamecube freezing

I found my old gamecube in a box and while it never had issues in the past, it seems to have one now. It freezes when trying to launch a game or when attempting to make changes on the calendar. I have taken it apart and cleaned out what little dust was inside and didn't find anything obviously damaged on the boards

Where to get a good controller?

Looking to get a Christmas gift for my brother, he only uses it for smash and I don't know which ones only are good quality or not since they don't make the original controllers anymore. Tia!

Help finding the name of a game

I need help finding a game for a friend and she can only give a vague description. It's a top down shooter that's pixelated like Contra, two characters that are back to back the whole time, you fight through different areas and can pick where you go like up, down, left, and right, and the actual fighting is like Xeno Crisis

Flippydrive and 2 disc games

Got my flippydrive and am currently dumping my games. Does anyone know how it handles 2 disc games when you need to switch disc in game? Do I have to do anything special with the files?

Panasonic Q Repair Help

Hopefully this is allowed here since it’s about the Panasonic Q GameCube, if not just lmk and I’ll post elsewhere!

So I bought a Panasonic Q from Japan and the disc tray rails basically completely shattered, likely during the shipping process or before — the seller said that it was in storage for a long time. On top of that, since it was left alone for years, the belt was super worn and conformed to the shape it was left in. I replaced the belt with a brand new one and 3D printed new rails and disk tray, which work well.

During the repair process, I noticed that like half the times I turned it on, any time I switched it to GameCube mode from DVD mode, it turned off and showed F76 error on screen. Once I took the console apart and replugged everything back in, the error goes away about half the time. I think it might be old ribbon cables, so I’m in the process of replacing those.

My main issue is that it won’t read GameCube discs; it spins the disc and I can hear and see the laser assembly moving and clicking against the plate, but it doesn’t progress past that. It either shows “?” on the GameCube menu, “no disc,” or will boot into the GameCube start sequence and then freeze at the logo and not load any further.

Does anybody have any advice on 1. what the F76 error could be caused from and how to prevent it from intermittently occurring, and 2. how to deal with this disc read problem? I have tried adjusting the petentiometer and have cleaned the laser lightly with IPA. The disc is known good and works with my GameCube. Will update after I replace the ribbon cables as well.

Melee Modded GameCube

Hey y’all, viva la GameCube

Wondering if anyone has insight on all the GameCube mods that would be useful for playing melee? I wanna get a modded Gc but the Etsy I found offers all sorts of mods

I’ve read that the hdmi mod deals with the lag so I’d love to get that. Maybe someone can mention if it really is lag less for melee.

The pico mod seems cool? Can I load the dolphin version of melee to play with weird skins and stages?

Do I need fiber optic mod, xeno, sd2sp2, recap items?

Error code when loading game/starting console with disc in

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? It’s appearing only when there is a disc in the drive and it doesn’t matter which game, Error goes away when there is no disc in the console.

Thankyou!!
