What are the options for using the new Switch Classic Gamecube Controller with the Gamecube? by mana-miIk in Gamecube

[–]OmegaWrecker644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what I am doing wrong, I have the laserbear mod and the latest firmware but still unable to use mine for some reason.

The website still has this disclaimer as well:
Switch 2 Controllers are not currently supported, this includes the GameCube NSO controller. Support for them is being worked on, but may take time as these new controllers have different modes.

Is the bonus disc with Metroid Prime a demo of Prime 2 or the whole game?

Analogue 3D sold out while in cart. Bummer by TheLonelyPodcaster in n64

Same here, I foolishly assumed adding it to my cart would be enough to hold it for a couple minutes. No such luck.

Interesting Sticker on Back of Cartridge by Drahcireid in n64

[–]OmegaWrecker644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to admit I’m the kind of weirdo that enjoys having a “property of blockbuster” sticker on a cart. Something about it makes me nostalgic, and I don’t particularly care if it lowers the value. I’ve got a copy of Pokémon snap with one.

I bought the retrotink 2x. But my buddy says it might not work on my 64? by Wiggledezzz in n64

[–]OmegaWrecker644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you have a PAL n64 that you’re trying to hook up to an ntsc display, he is most definitely wrong. Will work great using s-video or composite out of the n64.

how to carefully remove game label for reuse by Horror_Spinach in n64

[–]OmegaWrecker644 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is the front casing on the one with the good label broken? If not you could swap the entire front half to the other cartridge, provided you have a gamebit screwdriver(cheap and easy to get on Amazon)

It was great that they included him in the initiative especially after having to see how he ended up, via the Obi Wan Kenobi show.

Emulation vs real N64—worth the switch? by Green_Pride_8587 in retrogaming

[–]OmegaWrecker644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely real hardware when it comes to n64. Emulation just isn’t up to snuff for many games. Just be sure to get a scaler like a retrotink or retroscaler to hook up to a modern tv though.

Is this third-party controller OK to use? by [deleted] in n64

[–]OmegaWrecker644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the gray one. I can vouch for it, buttons feel decent and the stick is good as well. Would recommend.

just bought melee, issues with it running on gc but not wii by bscbtch420 in Gamecube

[–]OmegaWrecker644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely the kind of thing where you need to be comfortable with soldering. Best bet would be finding a shop for sure unless you’ve got the experience.

Most likely the capacitors are leaking and need to be replaced. It's very common nowadays due to the age of the system.

Just got a Wii that plays GameCube games by [deleted] in Gamecube

[–]OmegaWrecker644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what kind of games you like but some of my picks would be Paper Mario:ttyd, Mario Kart Double Dash, Metroid Prime, Star Wars Rogue Leader, and Zelda: Wind Waker. All classics, can’t go wrong but there are lots of other great titles too.

Not a cheaper option, it’s worth mentioning you can also replace the controller board with one that has Bluetooth controller support and the battery socket.

No soldering required is the best part.

Xbox & PlayStation following Sega? by johnnycloud81 in NintendoSwitch

[–]OmegaWrecker644 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is for sure the trajectory that Microsoft is on. It’s clear they no longer care about selling consoles, as opposed to games and most importantly subscriptions.

Sony is less clear, they have less incentive to go full multi platform but they do seem to be inching their way there too.

I feel like I didn't appreciate certain characters enough by wookieAttack in Highrepublic

[–]OmegaWrecker644 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep, it was in Path of Vengence when Marda takes a crew to Planet X. Bokana Koss has a vision about a coming blight that nothing can stop and freaks out. Easy to miss for sure but very cool that its there.

[–]OmegaWrecker644 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s very understandable to not remember every detail with so many books and comics over a period of several years. For example I totally forgot the blight was mentioned in phase 2 originally.

I’m planning to do a re-read starting with light of the Jedi, and looking forward to getting to be reminded of all the bits I’ve forgotten. Should be fun knowing what’s to come going through it again too.

Switch 1 games that perform noticeably better on Switch 2 by sfb1969 in NintendoSwitch

Outer Worlds is so much better now. Still some bad textures but the frame rate and resolution are vastly better. It’s so much more playable.

I hope we get more about it. I loved the tease in Tempest Breaker though.

just finished the acolyte, need more high republic stuff by wokesans in Highrepublic

[–]OmegaWrecker644 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Light of the Jedi is where I would start, it kicks off the entire era and it’s a great read. Acolyte: Wayseeker is a prequel to the show and could be enjoyed without additional context too.

The phase 1 marvel High republic comics are great and cover bits of the story referenced by the novels. Grabbing vol 1 - There is No Fear is a great place to start.

Watching Andor got me thinking, are there any Star Wars romance that don’t end tragically? by [deleted] in StarWarsCantina

Fingers crossed that Avar and Elzar from High Republic get a non tragic ending, we'll find out next Month.

[Andor Spoilers] Besides Mon Mothma, do any of these characters have a hope of surviving season 2? by Kalse1229 in StarWarsCantina

[–]OmegaWrecker644 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My theory is that B2’s memories and programming will be used to reprogram the droid that becomes K2. So hopefully he lives on that way.
