If you bought a 1019 memory card recently NEW it's probably fake.
Did you buy a fake one?

guys is it me or did prices for the usual rarities of the NGC go up in the last half a year or so?
I was bored so checked prices for Paper Mario: TTYD, Metal Gear Twin Snakes, Skies of Arcadia and Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and they appeared pricier than before to me
any of those in mint/complete condition is way above 50 bucks.
out of my haul from last week,
i grabbed these two gamecube titles yesterday =)

I got a couple of 1019s last year, new from Amazon. Any way of knowing if they're fake?

Nice. I got Symphonia pretty cheap from a Gaffer. I got my copy of Arcadia Legends new and pretty cheap a couple years after it came out. I had it sealed for a few years and still haven't played it! It's still practically new but I fully intend to play it one of these days! I didn't buy it just to have on a shelf.
because basically 0-1% of contemporary PAL TVs supported PS, so they used the same software switch for 50/60hz.I for the life of me still cant understand why Nintendo disabled the 480p signal in the PAL territory. Especially since most Game cubes already had the digital AV out.
I am at least glad that the Gamecube allowed for the option to chose between 50hz/60hz. The dark ages for gaming on a Nintendo system were at the very least finally over in Europe. I guess it just so frustrating how Nintendo had, well still has this inconsistency in its treating different regions for seemingly no reason at all.
Why did you buy 14?Not One. Fourteen fake cards across amazon and ebay from fourteen different sellers. Years ago (08 or 09) I bought two cards from amazon and they were also fake.

Open the card and post a photo of what is inside.
My official 1019 card has chips inside. I read the fake ones have glob tops. This video should give a look at what a fake looks like:

I'm back into the GC. Just picked up a spice orange one and a handful of games.
Why did you buy 14?
I'm surprised fakes are common but I guess maybe I shouldn't be. I was able to snag an new in box OEM real GC->GBA Link Cable recently for like $10 so I just assumed all GC accessories (except the component cable) are dirt cheap.
knocked another 2 games off my list of big hitters i wanted picked up Resident Evil 2 (without manual) and Resident Evil 3 (with manual)
Nice pickups! GC RE3 is the only US version that lets you boot the heads off of zombies.
hey all i grabbed this on the way to dinner:
as i shared in a prior post, i really missed the boat during gamecube days and never played any of the beloved nintendo titles (only survival horror, Eternal Darkness and Resident Evil gamecube exclusive titles) so i'm going to try them years later. i still need to pop in Zelda Twilight and the cell shaded one (forgot the name but i have both)
The cel shaded one being Wind Waker - if I may offer some advice, play Wind Waker HD on on Wii U instead. The tweaks they made really make it a much more enjoyable game. I quit on the Gamecube version because the sailing was such a drag, but the Wii U version wound up being my favourite Zelda ever.
these are PAL UK RE3 was £25 and RE2 was £26 but i traded some old x360 stuff in so only had to pay for RE3
Should work in the PAL version unless the PAL version always let you do this.

I can't play the HD remakes of Wind Waker or Twilight Princess. They altered the camera controls, and none of the options are right. Only Nintendo can add options and exclude the original control settings, which were perfect (for me).
Got a few people to open their recent(2-4 years) 251 cards. Fake as well. All from amazon. I wonder how widespread these really are.
I could tell the one that came to me was fake thanks to the posted video about the cards. Maybe I should buy used? Damn. I'd like to play some of my GameCube games again sometime soon.

I know this is not a popular opinion, but i fucking loathe that they dont even give me THE OPTION to use motion controls for sword in Twilight Princess HD. Made the game a nobuy for me, as i really enjoyed it back in the day and wanted to play it that way again.
Out of all things you could legitimately want the motion stuff back for in TPHD, it's the sword?!
Yeah I was going to say.WWHD's camera works the same.
Damn, based on the recent posts of this thread I found out my 1019 I ordered just over a year ago was fake. I should have figured the availability and pricing were too good to be true.
Anyone know if these bootlegs eat saves? I'll probably copy mine back to my old cards just in case. Also thinking about going to my local reputable indie game store and seeing if I can get the real deal; I'd like to play some gamecube over the holidays without stressing about this.
Did the real ones also come in blister packs in the US? In Europe they used cardboard boxes identical in size to GB/GBC/GBA boxes, wrapped in shrink-wrap and with the Nintendo branded tear open seal.My official 1019 card has chips inside. I read the fake ones have glob tops.

To be precise it was something like this
These are spam/scam books. They have them for many systems. Unedited plagarised wikipedia and ign articles etc in e-book form, which is printed on demand if someone buys a physical copy.Anyone have this book?

If so how is it?
Forgot i had these, found them in a drawer along with my famicom ones. Some cool gamecube merchandise. The cibe & the pad have built in lcd clocks the console one been under the lid which you can open with the eject button, the batteries are long dead though. The games are actually erasers, comes in a tiny replica case with a rubber disk, the detail on the boxes is pretty much 100% accurate.
Each one with it's real counterpart.
