r/Gamecube

Was able to install everything then the error kept popping up. Reseated it and the error was gone but then it never booted past the normal GameCube boot. Then took it apart again to redo it all again and my cat chewed up the cable. Anyone have a cable they don’t need anymore due to some other unfortunate things happening? Tempting to switch to another but not sure which or where to begin. The disc drive still works so I liked the idea of using my discs I have and the SD card

So after the CMOS battery in my Gamecube ran out, i replaced it with a socket for a button cell, which works fine and all but every time i do not use my Gamecube for a few weeks, after i return the clock is just a little off. Sometimes it's just an hour, other times its a whole day or week.

My console is plugged into a power strip, which i always turn off whenever i'm not using any of my consoles to save energy - basically every time i leave the house or whenever i go to sleep.

Before i swapped out the original battery, it would allways stop tracking the time whenever i turned of the console. Now it keeps tracking it, but after a few weeks it keeps gets out of sync. What causes this? I'm pretty sure i did a solid solder job with the battery socket

So when I was a kid my older brother was obsessed with the GameCube he would always play it sadly I’ve forgotten most of the games except one and that’s because of the back case of the game if I’m remembering it correctly it had some doctor character with a penguin strapped to an operating table fully conscious and a panic look on its face anyone know what game that was it has been bugging me for years now and wouldn’t mind trying to add it to my small physical gamecube collection.

I got to the part where you are supposed to connect the FD ribbon cable to the FD board. The tutorial I was watching said to open it up a little with your nail so the ribbon will go in. Well, I broke the white piece. The cable could kinda still get in but it’s flimsy. Tried booting my GameCube and it just goes to the regular stock menu.

I am so mad at myself. I ordered in June and waited months for this. Had to order a gamebit screw driver. And I f-ing broke it. I’m so disgusted with myself, usually I’m good with tech.

Does anyone make a GameCube controller that has the c stick inputs inverted? Or maybe there’s a diagram out there that can achieve the desired effect? Google didn’t turn up much. I know I could try and git gud but I’d rather buy a controller or mod one of mine. Thanks!

Hey all!

Hoping y'all can help me out. A friend of mine has recently started collecting old consoles, not in a mint condition art piece way but just to have some nostalgia and play games on old hardware.

For their birthday I managed to source a GameCube and accessories, and I want to make up a box to look like the original packaging as a cool wrapping idea. Would anyone have high res images of the original GameCube box they could share so I can print them out?

All images I've seen online are images taken of the box and not flat images of each side which makes it hard

Any help would be greatly appreciated ❤️
