Hey yall, so today while searching around I found a Gamecube Madden 2002 copy, so I opened to see it, and lo and behold this disc was inside, quickly bought it for 5 bucks and went home, it's badly scratched tho, thankfully there's a local disc cleaning on my area, so how did I do?

Discussion A dying GCN - repair, replace or Switch (2)?

3 Upvotes

Right now I have PC that will run anything on max and a GameCube with 37 games that I play with my daughter. My games list is here

https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamecube/s/mjg28dEdk8

We Mario kart, soccer slam, smash, etc a few times a week

As much as I don't want to admit it, my GCN is dying and I don't think I have the skill to redo the capacitors, and I'd need to buy all the equipment as well as the capacitors themselves.

I could buy a new one, but then I might have the same issues soon

The truth is that I really only play multiplayer with my daughter, I Pikmin 1 once every few years but that's it. I tried to play Twilight Princess a couple of years ago as I'd never completed it and I got bored quickly.

I have also been curious about the switch 2. It seems most of the good games are available there anyway. I love the idea of smash & kart online, never having done this. (And why haven't they done this with fzero gx!)

Yeah I am really torn, I still use the cube but maybe not enough to justify a repair or replace quest. Maybe I go switch 2 but then all my old games are sitting there.

Do I have any other options?

Met Jason at a local comic con this weekend, super cool dude and very nice. I gotta say it’s surreal hearing the Sonic voice in person! I asked him who he liked voicing more between Sonic, Shadow, and Jet and I learned that Sonic is the easiest to do, Shadow is 2nd since he can do it a for a little bit, and that he doesn’t like doing Jet that much because it’s painful lol.

Discussion Ingame Cutscene System | Nintendo GameCube

14 Upvotes

This is my in-game cutscene system, called the Arcroarts Animation System. It's part of my own in-house game engine, which I wrote in C/C++. 😄

The system runs across my PC and an SN Systems TDEV GameCube development kit.

Think of it this way: the GameCube handles the graphics and rendering, while the PC acts as the user interface and master controller. The two communicate over an Ethernet connection, allowing the PC to send commands to the GameCube.

In other words, the PC is where I control the system, and the GameCube does the actual graphics work.

Help Trying to fix a Gameboy Player

4 Upvotes

I bought this Gameboy Player secondhand, and it hasn't worked since day 1.

Every time I try to use it, 75% of the time it won't boot my game at all, and the rest of the time it boots, plays for 1-2 mins, then freezes and shrieks. Considering how it acts, I'm thinking bad caps.

I can't find much documentation on the caps, so can someone double check my cart of capacitors?

Help X Button always pressed. Board issue?

1 Upvotes

Hi. Even with nothing on the contact pad, after the first press the button press never releases (see images taken at the same time). am i just screwed or can there be other, fixable issues?

I tried a different controller in the same slot of my adapter and it works fine.

I tried blowing in the end of the controller cable to perhaps get rid of dust.

i cleaned the button contact with alcohol.

I fear this is a issue with a trace on the board or something similar. And i really would love to use this ancient piece of work for more gaming :(

No memory cards were harmed

But seriously, that happened because I had the wrong memory card inserted while opening pokemon box and quickly panicked and removed it while it was creating a save file, it’s fine now I promise

Discussion Ingame Animation System for the Nintendo GameCube

I wrote my own ingame Animation System. :D

It can control cinematic cutscenes running on a real Nintendo GameCube, all in real time from my PC.

The PC timeline lets me control the action as it plays on the GameCube.

Help I can't get this disc to work in my Gamecube despite resurfacing. What's actually wrong with it?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I got this Luigi's Mansion resurfaced and it still doesn't work and I just want a reason why it doesn't since I don't really see any damage. Honestly very strange. It doesn't work on any consoles. It doesn't even boot. Just says disc read error. I think it's just a bad disc but I want a specific reason why it wouldn't work despite barely any scratches. Idk if this is even normal but I never seen this happen with a good looking disc before.

Help Help with GCMCE vs GC2SD

4 Upvotes

I just got my picoloader and it game with a SD2SP2 but then I realized my gamecube does not have a serial port 2.

My question is:

Can I get a GCMCE and put my ISOs on it or does it only emulate a memory card, meaning I would need to get a GC2SD?

Discussion Anyone remember this game?

Post image

This is one of those games I forgot all about. I rented it 25 years ago when I was super young and just bought it off ebay as an adult. I was a sad kid when I had to return it. I dont remember the game being great but I was very young lol. I remembered the game for years (thinking about it once in a bluemoon) and finally did research until I found it based off memory rather than knowing the name of the game... fever dream vibes. Finally found it and gonna relive some childhood memories lol.

Was curious if anyone had memories or knew about this game.

Hello. I was trying to play this game right after buying it from my local game shop, but I keep getting the disc read error every loading screen until I manually spin the disc, and close the lid, and then it only goes until the next loading screen. I'm at a loss.
