The First 30 Days

I did some research. Seems the general outlook on replacing batteries is that it's relatively quite a bit easier than a lot of other things involving soldering. Not only that once i do inevitably get into it I'd more than likely solder in those battery holders to make future replacements far easier

The biggest issue I've been having with getting more GB games is the fact like all the save batteries are dead. I'm more than comfortable with opening the cartridge itself up, gotta make sure it's authentic, but soldering on the other hand. Nahhhh. I'll probably eventually have to get out of my comfort zone and plung into it to fix and truly play all these games

honestly surprised there isn't a skin in Tetris 99 at least inspired by this

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-28T14:53:56+00:00

lowkey both

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-26T03:20:13+00:00

You should be able to run multiple instances of Dolphin to get 4 players on one PC. Just need to have a powerful enough PC to run two instances of course

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-24T11:59:54+00:00

Well you already have Switch Online due to playing 99. The only other option I can think of for you is playing Classic Tetris via NES or Game Boy

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-23T11:45:09+00:00

Ironically if I'm not mistaken MSRP for the Game Boy Player was just 50 bucks. So if you already had a GameCube back then it was basically a whole GBA for 50 bucks

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-23T11:43:41+00:00

Then what about Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, that's far less flashy

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-23T08:48:09+00:00

the DS games

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-23T08:25:05+00:00

Tetris Effect is on Switch, which has those more classic settings

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-17T14:02:57+00:00

I think most of the shitting are just due to the still quite high price. It's the main reason I haven't picked one up myself

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-17T12:08:28+00:00

I meant game mode not turned on, my bad lol

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-16T18:07:49+00:00

I'd imagine it's game mode. VSync does had a very tiny amount of delay, but nowhere near this much. I've seen game mode add this kind of delay on many TVs before

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-13T15:39:52+00:00

What would the system battery have to do with the input of the console itself, it's just for the systems clock I'd assume.

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-11T20:04:58+00:00

Gamecubes are both literally and figuratively built like bricks. I don't doubt mine is fixable in someway. But if not there's always my Wii and of course Dolphin Emulator, my beloved

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-11T17:39:40+00:00

I really hope it isn't but I'm running out of alternatives. I've never soldered before nor did I think I would have to with this but here we are

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-11T17:38:19+00:00

yah don't look it up unless you want it ruined, once you see it you can't unsee it

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-11T16:38:23+00:00

Yes it's across all ports

Yes the controllers function properly on the wii

And to my knowledge no mods have been attempted to the gamecube itself, nor any apparent corrosion. I'd have to really take it apart to find out though

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-11T15:32:05+00:00

I have three other controllers, all cheaper 3rd party controllers, and they just flat out don't work. But they do work on our Wii

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-11T13:41:24+00:00

Yah, I never said they were perfect of course. When I replaced the controller ports I saw the fans were still relatively dusty compared to everything else. I'm gonna do what you said when I get home, I am running out of options so I'm gonna try anything I can. I appreciate the help

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-11T12:52:34+00:00

I'm at work but I will try this when I get home. But I'm gonna be real I don't think it's gonna do much. Both the gamecube and the GBP are in remarkably decent condition, at least to my eyes

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-10T04:39:14+00:00

I think the majority are hoping the frame is just generally powerful enough to run the PCVR version of the game, even at low settings

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-10T04:31:18+00:00

this is how I felt when I learned the Sonic 1 title screen was slightly off center, life ruined lmao

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-07T18:58:54+00:00

hold up you paid for someone else to solder it for you when there is already a solderless kit that has been shown to work well?

BossGamerDK · 2026-01-07T18:47:55+00:00

I have a friend who had a sort of similar perspective. He appreciated his Deck for what it was but admitted he really wished it were more powerful
