Welcome to GameCube & N64 Mods & upgrades. This board is for making these classics better and keeping them running: Swiss, PicoBoot, GC Loader, SD card adapters, HDMI and video mods, Expansion Paks, flashcarts, controller fixes and repairs. Help with broken consoles goes here too.
What belongs here
• Swiss setup, settings and homebrew on the GameCube.
• Modchips like PicoBoot, and optical drive emulators like GC Loader.
• SD card adapters for the serial port and memory card slots.
• HDMI and video mods for both consoles, from plug-in adapters to internal installs.
• N64 Expansion Paks, flashcarts and controller stick replacements.
• Repairs: disc drive problems, power issues, dead controllers.
• Build logs and finished projects.
What doesn't belong here
• Game chat, collecting and memories go in General discussion.
• Wii homebrew and GameCube games on Wii go in Wii & Wii U.
How to ask for help
Please include:
• Console model and region. For GameCube, check whether it's a DOL-001 or DOL-101 on the label underneath.
• Stock or modified, and with what.
• What you were doing, what you expected and what happened.
• Clear photos of the board, the screen and any soldering.
• What you've already tried.
The piracy rules
• No ROMs, ISOs, BIOS or IPL files, and no asking where to find them.
• No flashcarts or SD cards sold "pre-loaded" with games.
• Use Swiss, ODEs and flashcarts with homebrew and your own dumped games.
Starter knowledge
• The DOL-001 GameCube has a digital AV port and a second serial port. The DOL-101 doesn't, which affects which HDMI and SD adapters work.
• GC Loader replaces the disc drive, which helps when a laser is failing.
• HDMI solutions vary in quality and lag. Ask before buying.
Soldering and safety
• Unplug the console before opening it, and be careful around the power supply.
• Use the right security bits. Both consoles use security screws on the case.
• Practise on scrap boards before attempting fine-pitch soldering.
• Credit other people's work: chip designers, case designers and guide authors.
• No selling consoles, parts or modding services here.
House rules
Everything else in the KZE rules applies: be kind, English only (posts in other languages are translated automatically), no spam, no keyboard mashing and no self-promotion spam. Report anything that breaks the rules. This thread is locked, so please start your own thread for help or projects.
