Game/console collectors thread

I don’t even bother trying to use emulators for GC, wasn’t my favourite Nintendo console either.

Dolphin is actually very good esp with upscaling and such. Even does good Wii Emulation, where it sucks is using the Wii controllers and add-on's Yes you can remap keys to normal controllers but its just not the same. Also, getting proper Wii Controller to work on PC is a pain in the rear.

Simpler to just use OG hardware to support the controller for Wii
Gamecube works just fine using a 8bitdo Ultimate.

I think you can use GameCube games on Wii as well, pretty sure it’s cross compatible with GC games. But GC didn’t have any kind of mega hits, some but not like PS or XB.

Jip original wii that has the ports for controllers and memory cards can play GC games.

The problem is it doesn't upscale them so looks kinda yucky as I dont have a CRT

Talking about the Gamecube, I will forever be grateful for the homebrew community.

Both my Gamecubes have aftermarket network adapters making it possible to play LAN and internet games.

Kinda interesting how many Gamecube games was re-released for Wii.
In the process of replacing them now cause I am planning not to run any Gamecube ROMs on my Wii

Trying to figure out what my next retro thing is going to be...

Wanted a physical copy of Starfox 64... but Internet Express "lost" mine.

Shameless plug for this app: https://github.com/mq1/TinyWiiBackupManager?tab=readme-ov-file

Waaay better than WiiBackupmanager and handles both Wii & GC

I want the OG Xbox modded with Homebrew, finding one has proven harder than expected.

True, hence why I learned to play while working. I work 25/8.

Love this from the same show:

Got one for R401 more, new sealed.
But will help if couriers don't "lose" packages.

For those of you with an Xbox 360 (I do not have one) how does an original case look like?



It is broken as a post I made here, somewhere, so I bought another.

The one I received does not have plastic in the middle circle to keep a disc secure.

What gives?

Refurbished this bad boy today. What a lovely old console! and in more modern times, Lol Fixed a Dead PS5 - Nobody likes a dry spot on their PS5

Did you refurb it for someone? Or on sale?
