@@dubesinhower that's cool. I guess the ribbin cable was for the best. otherwise these wouldn't be available. One dc doesn't work because of the ribbin cable. I hope that will fix it.
I love cool mods like this and I really want to put it in one of my ‘Cubes, but I just have no use for it, other than the remote power thing. When I play a GameCube game, I want to use the GameCube controller. That’s part of the experience, ya know? I guess if you could power it on and off with a wired controller, I’d get one
I mostly use my wavebird for GameCube games. BUT when it comes to the Gameboy Player, I'd rather have a retro style 8bitdo controller. So this mod is pretty nice. Not worth the price for most people.
I've had mine installed for a few weeks, and it's mostly been pretty good (although I haven't really used it a lot). The issue that I noticed though is that the BlueRetro board seems to get quite hot when it's in the "Deep Sleep" mode, and it actually makes the front of the shell feel warm to the touch. So I'd feel a bit nervous using that feature for more than a couple hours without pressing the actual Power button on the GC. A bit disappointing since it was what pushed me over the edge to pay $95 USD + shipping and tariffs for this
I just bought one of these, but Im wondering if the L and R triggers work as intended. I plan to use a Series X controller with this. Can you scan things in Metroid Prime 1-2, butt stomp or hold the spray nozzel in Super Mario Sunshine, etc.?
to use softshutdown on an xbox one controller press left trigger, right trigger, three lines button (start) and A. to restart turn the controller on and hold the sync button untill it tries to sync, the GC will sync and the light will go solid
"Any computer running Chrome"... Does this include a Mac? Asking cause the TP-Link Bluetooth adaptor description only says it's down Windows. Anyone successfully connected to BlueRetro via Chrome (with or without adaptor) on a Mac?
There are controllers with wireless adapters (I have tried a few), but they tend to be crappy. Stick drift, false input detection on the D-pad....blah blah blah haha. The typical stuff with knockoff controllers. With this mod you can use most bluetooth controllers, giving you an option for using various quality controllers. Your only "good" options other then this mod are shelling out the money for a Wavebird or just going wired with an official Gamecube controller.
Well damn, that makes all my wavebirds obsolete lol, totally unrelatable, but I noticed you had a Gameboy expansion, and I was curious if you ever heard of them burning out the gamecubes internal power board? Or any other reason it would go out, reason for, I'm on my fourth one, and I would have no problem playing the system for several hours, i dont have any mods installed, its all oem besides the expansion, it is a Frankencube in a way, it has ntsc board and a Japanese disc drive which I heard is the same part and I run a carby, but I'll turn it off and on with no issues, however I would turn it off, come in the next day and the system wouldn't turn on again until I replace the power unit, and im petrified to leave a power cord plugged in when im not playing it, I have since also replaced the power supply cable with another oem and it has been plugged into a brand new power strip with surge protection, but ive never had an issue with any of my other systems doing this, I have asked other modders and I never get a reply on the issue, thought I'd give another shot
Is it just surge protection, or do you have line filtering as well? Its fairly standard on UPS systems, but you can set it to kick over to battery if the voltage goes above or below a certain threshold. This can get things that won't trip a surge protector.
@@SoberAddiction my old power strip was ancient, the case was aluminum, had a push button reset, if it had any protection it was probably just an internal buss fuse, my new one however is damn near apocalypse rated, as for the gamecube power supply cable the old was possibly a bootleg because I didn't look like the oem cable, but after swapping the power board I'm petrified of testing the longevity of leaving it plugged in, I just don't see much on the power boards going out online except for changing the micro resistor on the board that I can't find any where
Got mine in last week, been playing GameCube with my PS5 controller. This thing rocks!
I've had this adapter for a couple weeks now, but haven't installed it yet. It's a super cool idea.
For sure, I did not expect the remote power on feature at all!
Thanks for the review! Now I’m even more excited for my preorder to arrive. That 8bitdo bt adapter is cool too
Mario Kart Double Dash... I see you are also a man of culture.
That's cool.
They need to make a dreamcast one.
I may grab both in the end of the year if there available.
They're working on it: twitter.com/collingall/status/1610045105934663680?s=20&t=ZH4cmAsy2uhN9np4ZZRrRg

When installing GC shell on stock GC open the top when lowering it. it is possible to break clip on back.

Is that a JBC station or a clone? Very interested in the AiXun T420D myself.
It’s an AiXun T3A
This compatible with dol 101?

help when i try to update mine it keeps disconnecting im trying to update to 1.8.3
Has nobody made a wireless Bluetooth adapter that plugs into a controller slot? Same as the wavebird

The new retro fighters controllers work well
i wonder if an alternative for wii exist or could exist
Would this work with the wii
Just need someone to figure out how to swap the rf transmitter from a wavebird to Bluetooth
Yes! Or make a replacement board for the OEM controller
There is a phob wavebird board I think, I wonder if they could make a revision for bluetooth somehow
anyone know if its compatible with panasonic q
Their site does not specify, but my guess is that it is not compatible.
