Buy a Wii. It's the same price as an Action Replay and plays more games.
He has to make sure to buy an older type of Wii. As the new ones probably whatever is on the shelves now wont play Gamecube games anymore

What does the announcer say here, always sounded like "Grandpa's old record set"
This is not an overstatement - I'm going to go buy a Gamecube and the required appointments tomorrow.
Glorious, glorious day.
Pretty much this, but why hide it, especially if there's no way to unlock other than GameGenie codes?

Its pretty amazing that this was only found out after all these years. Going to have to try it out one of these days.
And and this note, and thread, we better see a new F Zero this gen. The lack of F Zero since 2004 is a joke especially since F Zero GX sold relatively well on GC.
GX is probably my fav racer of all time now that I look back on it. I'm not a huge fan of the genre but it would be between MK64, Moto GP Xbox and GX.
An amazing find. Reminds me of all the codes they found years upon years later for Goldeneye for N64.

And even later, they found a Spectrum emulator inside of Goldeneye. Complete with Spectrum ROMs for it to load.
This is one of the coolest "hidden content" finds ever. Wish I had an AR for my GCN/Wii :/
Whoa, that's cool!

Do you need a strong computer to run it in Dolphin?
I'm guessing you save manufacturing cost by putting out one disk. Then the custom arcade hardware just knows to pass blah-blah data to load up the right version.
I'm curious if someone who owns the arcade setup can find a way to send "code" and play GX on the arcade sitdown!
Playing it in all of my free time, lots of frustration and cramped hands. I was in disbelief when I finally beat that damn thing. I think it was all the effort put into that which killed my desire to continue the pursuit of the AX tracks.
It took nearly a decade, but I finally found an AX machine last year and had the chance to play it. I brought some of the AX stuff home to GX (can't believe the memory card slot still worked on the machine), but this is even better news. I love hidden content finds like this. If only there were an official push-button code to access it. The already high asking price of used Action Replays just shot through the roof.
Being a newcomer to F-Zero I really want to play GX but ever since rumors of GC games on Wii U VC two years ago I've been holding off. If we don't get such news soon I'll just hunt down a retail copy.
I just bought one for 24 off amazon.

You need a version 1 if you want to input your own codes!
I tried to warn everybody...
You can unlock AX content, just not the mode.'fucking locking away content on the disc!!!'

Interestingly, they did not use this for Jetpac in DK64. It was actually ported to N64 microcode for that game.
It's a known issue, older builds run F-Zero GX much better. Recent changes introduced the performance drop. Posts on the bug report indicate a fix is on its way.Übermatik;49441890 said:For some reason, you can run Mario galaxy 2 at 1080p on mediocre hardware, yet GX runs like shit. There's a bunch of tutorials out there to optimise it - you have to hit the right settings spot on - but it helps to have a decent PC.
I got that wheel (I found it for about £5, it was release din Europe sans the ZF-zEro branding). It's the pedels that are hard to find. Without those, I found it be to be fairly bad and turned my once okay F-Zero skills into Captain Falcon's gotten a tad drunk...I always wanted to get this wheel due to F-Zero at the time
I told you bros! I told you about the Wii!
I ask again: you mean a homebrewed Wii, right?
I'd need to buy another one because I'm keeping one legit until I get a WiiU and transfer purchases...
You're correct, my home brewed Wii has the system transfer downloaded, you just have to know how to update stuff. I don't blame him though, I'm aware something could possibly go wrong and my ~$100 spent on VC stuff could be gone thanks to Nintendo's shit online system.As far as I know the Homebrew Channel doesn't stop you from performing a Wii to Wii U transfer. If I'm wrong please correct me.
Nintendo usually doesn't brag about games being developed, the only exceptions I can think of are TLoZ, Pikmin and Pokemon. They usually just say here's Mario or whatever and one year later you are playing the game. I have a feeling we will ear about a new F-Zero at this year E3.At 7 pages in, I have to ask the obvious here, how has Nintendo not went back to the well on this franchise?
People are freaking out about a slightly different way to play a game almost 10 years old, yet as far as anyone knows, F-Zero GX 2 still doesn't even exist on paper.

if we don't hear about F-Zero this year, it is dead.
the only viable period is now. the best selling games in the series were launch titles and the ones that launched further from launch sold worse (one of the factors that made GX sell bad and killed the later GBA games)
The fact that Nintendo outsourced it to a third party is probably an indicator of the priority ranking F-Zero has at that company.
The higher tier properties get internally developed or by a shell company they control. The less-selling, lesser priority games get sent to other studios since they more willing to take risks with those IPs in letting someone else take a swing at them.

with that logic, we should have kept getting F-Zero games.
nintendo doesn't even want to use that route with F-Zero nowadays.
Yet an (at the time) premium third party, renowned for making the best driving games in the world. Nintendo only became soured on the franchise due to the unfortunate circumstances of an extremely difficult game being released on a niche platform, and the subsequent flat sales it delivered.
But Nintendo aren't stupid. If they see there's an audience for F-Zero, and Miiverse is very much telling them just that at the moment, they'll definitely consider it.
