I remember in that video with RetroRGB (I think it was linked from here) both guys were pretty critical of the current plug and play HDMI solution. He seemed pretty confident his would be better.
I've never watched it but apparently he gives some updates on his stream.

Source for anyone curious.
I suppose that's on me for not being diligent about following up on the issues folk mentioned in Zelda's GC-forever post.
Jesus that's disappointing since it seemed like such a nice solution. Is this a manufacturing issue or what? After the video review I was ready to jump in but frying my beloved cube is the last thing I'm looking to do.

You want to ear something funny?
I've got a flash this morning that 15 years ago, I got a digital cable, but the one with a D terminal. At that time, it was an error. I needed de component. But now, I see that an adaptor exist to put it on component!
The cable : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Used-Nintendo-Gamecube-D-Terminal-Cable-with-Component-Adapter-from-Japan-/263110334442?hash=item3d429917ea:g:lVQAAOSwOAZZhKKR
I hope I didn't throw it away! Can't wait to go home to check.

Yes, D-terminal is just a different plug shape of component. You could literally just cut the cable open and re-wire it too.

I saw that and I'll probably do that.
I just hope that I didn't throw 300$ value. I usually keep every thing, but...

oh well... seems to have put it away...

How much was it?
So recently I've been trying to reduce the amount of space taken up by my game collection by getting rid of cases and use more bulk storage solutions. I know most in the topic probably value the original cases but what are the options for bulk gamecube disc storage given the disc size? I know Sakurai for example uses some sort of binder as shown here but I can't seem to find anything similar! Does anyone have any ideas?
A bit of an odd request, but... Are there any Euro GameCube gaffers who don't mind parting their ways with unusued VIP 24:7 cards?
I'm looking for the VIP cards included with the following PAL titles:
- 1080° Avalanche
- F-Zero GX
- Paper Mario
(and also the VIP 24:7 from New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS)
Of course I'm not asking for donations, as I'm more than happy to pay whatever you may like for them, in case you have them and are available for sale.
Thanks in advance! ^_-

I got rid of a lot of cases a few years ago and switched to CD binders. Gamecube games fit ok in the normal ones as long as they don't get shaken. I'm not sure if any mini disc binders exist outside of the Gamecube travel ones that only held like 16 games.

For gods sake sell the cases/manuals! They have value to a lot of people!
Or at the very least remove the inlays and manuals and flat store them and just throw out the plastic.

Just bought Battalion Wars and Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction off eBay. Can't wait to play them both.

I actually saved all Nintendo related cases and put them in storage. The switch to binders and weeding out cases was for my entire collection but most of what hit the garbage were extremely common PS2 and 360 cases.
Is that the hulk game with the huge chicken dinner power ups? I remember x-play making fun of that aspect.

Huh???? Chicken Dinner Power Ups? I only remember abilities involving piledrivers, gamma quakes and turning cars into boxing gloves.
I vaguely recall but I think it is this one. I didn't know they released several hulk games in that period.
I do remember Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb railing on it.

It was most definitely that hulk game. I got the superior hulk game, not that movie tie in garbage.
I read it got mixed reviews but seems decent for a movie based game, but yeah you got the better Hulk game.

Is Wave Race: Blue Storm just really cheap or am I looking at fake copies? I'm browsing Ebay atm.

I got it for 10$(CAN) maybe 3 years ago. You give me a need to play it now!

PSA.. the HDMI adapter killed MetalJesusRock's GameCube when someone bumped it. Yikes.

Oh man, this is horrible publicity XD. MetalJesus has a huge reach of subscribers. They need to fix the problem ASAP and offer refunds/replacements.

It's a one man hobby project. He hardly makes any money on it too.
MLiG also retweeted someone saying the same thing. It was already known it could happen but all of these people coming out with reports is gonna kill this version of it.

Sounds like this thing needs more time to cook if they ever want to hit the mainstream.

I think it uses the plug the guy from badass consoles said was cloooose but didn't quite work. It's why he's working with some manufacturer to make his own plugs, so the pins can't short out.

Oh I thought it was a group of two guys from some reason. Regardless I actually truly feel bad for the guy. I know it's a lot of work and hopefully he can figure out some fix or something. Hate to see an amazing project come to a halt because of an early-ish design flaw

I made a promise to not touch Gotcha Force with a ten foot pole because of the price so it was already off the list.
Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2

Chibi Robo
Cubivore
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Bomberman Generation
Are all fun games that I don't hear mentioned too often when the Gamecube is brought up.

I've seen silver GBPs, but did Nintendo make any other colors besides silver and black? We're any that common in the US besides the black ones?
sixteen-bit
Member
Yeah I think they released all the play it loud colors. Meaning green, yellow, red, and clear are also available in addition to those mentioned.
There were also retail exclusive like ice blue at TRU.
Edit: oh you mean the other GBP
There was only black in USA. In Japan they widely released in black, indigo and silver. There were also matching LE colored ones as well. And a Panasonic q exclusive gray one.

Are the Japanese Players compatible with US GCs and US startup discs? I'd love to get an Indigo one.
Yes.

They did a sick orange GBP too.
Do they ship to the us? ( mobile site is being weird)
Says UK shipping only but you could always contact the seller to make sure.

Aww shame they're JP consoles. I would buy a PAL gamecube for that cheap to play around with the RGB SCART output and 240p GBi.
