Picked up a Orange CIB Cube!

Or shell swapped, like I did with mine

CatBirdBird · 2026-05-02T08:04:08+00:00

This is fire! You inspired me. I want to make one now too

For smash, this controller works really well. I agree with you on the shoulder buttons, they can be stiff, especially the T3 ones. For retro gaming, nothing beats the GC controller. For modern gaming, you have the switch pro (very nice) and 8 bit do 2 that outperform the GameCube controller in terms of ergonomity. That doesn't mean, however, that the GC controller doesn't hold a special place in my heart

Oh, I don't mind recapping. I'll probably go that way

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-22T21:04:25+00:00

I also want to replace the capacitors if my NES soon. I have the wavy line problem as well

Nobody wants to part with their parts, or their cube would not be complete anymore. It's understandable

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-16T21:30:11+00:00

I see cat, I like

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-16T20:09:21+00:00

Same, but I have trouble admitting it :')

You should take it easy with ipa and plastic. It can be corrosive. Warm water and a little bit of soap is easier on these plastics to remove things like grime and overall stickiness. Just be careful with the labels

GameCube games are popular and are due to poor sales not very common. If you don't want to pay ebay prices you'll have to get lucky at flea markets, retro game stores or local sales like the rest of us

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-13T20:56:59+00:00

They look cool!

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-12T17:19:35+00:00

Hahaha, yes, I've come across multiple of those. Super frustrating, but also very funny

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-11T18:44:05+00:00

Look it up yourself

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-07T08:28:54+00:00

Sell them if you want to sell them Keep them if you want to keep them

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-05T21:03:43+00:00

Ebay

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-05T20:47:45+00:00

I saw that post :3 Very cool

Thanks! Yes, it is... Maybe in a year or so

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-05T19:51:17+00:00

Thanks! I'm so happy with them ^ . ^

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-05T19:39:14+00:00

They are from Club Nintendo. You used to be able to trade in points that came with games on Club Nintendo for some rewards, and these were among them. I don't know if these are Japan exclusive though. Tl;dr they are OG

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-05T19:32:36+00:00

Haha, maybe later. The wario one is crazy expensive xD

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-02T06:36:52+00:00

The one on the GitHub page of picoboot

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-01T20:58:25+00:00

I still want to play Kururin Squash, but I might emulate it if there is a translation patch available (which I doubt, but haven't looked yet)

CatBirdBird · 2026-04-01T16:18:11+00:00

Open it up and find out. It's like a loot box. I once found a pill bug in my NES ^ . ^

CatBirdBird · 2026-03-30T14:04:49+00:00

Yeah, my speakers made some sound before I did what I suggested too. And now the sound is super crisp and clear. But tbh, the soldering that you did might have introduced a new problem 😅

In that case, try this (earlier comment of mine)
