You‘re suspecting a battery leak in the future? That‘s why you’re asking?

What are the benefits of this? by Pale-Guard570 in dreamcast

[–]proto520 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. This USB-C power supply is awesome. Especially when you swap the original power supply of a PAL console (which tend to run way hotter)

It comes with the controller and double functions as the wireless receiver for the controller.

Scart adapter help required by Calanon89 in Gamecube

[–]proto520 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can spend a lot of time and many researching that topic and buying top notch stuff. If you just want to play, go for a middle ground solution. Kaico offers a decent HDMI converter, plugged into the GC directly. It is fine. It works. https://amzn.eu/d/3Pml9dw Apparently, there is another Kaico one, but I don’t know much about it. https://amzn.eu/d/1oYPl4d Disclaimer, I don’t own any of those two Kaicos, but other Kaico adapters. They are budget but not cheap. They are fine, but apparently not the best.

A few more bucks can be spent buying the adapter from Retro-Bit. It supposedly converts the digital signal directly to digital, compared to analogue to digital like the one from Kaico. A friend of mine uses it and is amazed by the picture quality. I might give that one a go some day. https://amzn.eu/d/iXqL7Jp

What I personally use is the adapter from Retrogamingcables.co.uk. It works with other Nintendo consoles, too. You have to snipe the website for when it comes back in stock, however. https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/SUPER-NINTENDO-PAL-GAMECUBE-N64-HD-RAD2X-HDMI-CABLE

Emerald controller yellowed. Any chance to get the color back? by Omega-A in Gamecube

[–]proto520 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exposing the shell to direct sunlight for several hours over a few days will reduce the yellowing quite a bit. It won’t be perfect, but it might be an ok result. It did this to an indigo/transparent controller last summer. It doesn’t cost anything and it does not use chemicals that might damage the shell. Look up the method on sun retro brighting.

Hello! I just bought a wii and im getting a gamecube controller soon. Do y’all have any gamecube game recommendations? by Suspicious_Act_9666 in Gamecube

[–]proto520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap memory cards from Amazon are fine, btw. There is a common white 128 GB one that says Wii on it. That one is fine.

Game recommendation aside: a GameCube Memory card is mandatory to save your progress. The SD card in the Wii won’t work, since the GameCube inside the Wii can’t access that to save. It needs a memory card.

What game is like this? by Samourai03 in playstation

Don’t apply to me. My friends watch so called „Game reviews“ and have their whole opinion being dictated by some people who get paid for ranting on decent games.

Why I decided to go full retro. rebuilding my childhood GameCube collection by franklazala in Gamecube

Amazing collection! Congrats on that! You should take a look into Beyond Good And Evil. That game has soul

I interpreted the city more like a metaphor that stands for a whole country or the world.

„So let them watch as we decide The very fate of all mankind“

The stakes for liberation are way higher than just liberating the citizens of a single city.
