This reminded me of that GameCube video we did years ago. I’ve come to appreciate the GameCube as time goes on. I always thought it was generally ignored because it didn’t come equipped with a DVD player.
Radical Reggie says mister PS2 lol
mr bacchus actually his fav console is the PS1 (mine also) 😆.. Mr. PLAYSTATION
It had great 3rd party support too!
I got my slim ps2 test console after seeing your video on it. Still looking for a good hdmi adapter for it, maybe you could make a video about that?
I love my GameCube bought it off of eBay and it's region free so none of that messing around with region unlock discs
I still play my Gamecube to this very day, it's always 2001 over at my house!
awesome man! love the cube! Baiten Kaidos 1 and origins SSBM, Mario Kart DD the MGS remake is amazing even now! the music in that game is wicked! the gamecube is just a good system!
me too but i play gamecube and wii games on my PC ,upscaled to HD ,perfect ,on a 300cm projector
Keep it retro bro!
Your house is the worst! :)
Retro8bit #metoo
If you lose your Game Boy disc or want a better home-brew experience, there is a 3rd party solution, but it is a bit involved. You either need to use the Action Replay w/ a SD card or burn a special bootable DVDr. Instructions are here: www.retrorgb.com/gameboyinterface.html
Thanks! Wasn't aware of this
Loved the video and Grats on hitting 500k recently!
PeanutButterGamer hi pbg
PeanutButterGamer you wassup
PeanutButterGamer it's PBG!
Didn’t expect to see ya down here hi
My gosh is peebs
Yo this is sick actually, I would love to get some of this stuff for videos and things.
SpaceHamster It would be amazing to have this stuff
I think what often gets overlooked as a necessary GameCube accessory is the action replay. Generally you don't consider it an accessory because it's software but the action replay allowed you to do so much more in games that you normally wouldn't be able to do. For example you can play around with test levels in Wind Waker and even unlock debug mode in a few games. Perhaps my favorite was being able to play as Master Hand, Crazy Hand and Giga Bowser in Super Smash Brothers Melee.
Many collectors have gazed into the mirror on the Panasonic Q looking for the true meaning of gaming. Others just do lines of Coke off it.
LOL
lmao
I'm gonna try that
gamers can't afford coke.
you're not cool enough to be at a coke party.
😘
Aaron Lol that's a very exclusive club bro. Not many can say they've done that @.@
Thanks Cameron. You help make this channel even better. I see it there behind you in the light. Fantastic.
A fan of yours gave you a Panasonic Q for free? Damn, sir, you are Jesus indeed.
He got a futuristic toaster for *FREE!?!?!*
@@js5686 is not the toaster but the price
One thing that I think might be worth mentioning in an ultimate GameCube setup is a sound system that supports Dolby Pro Logic II. To be fair, that's not something unique to the GameCube, but I feel that's something you gotta have when playing GameCube games.
I would love to see a series like this. So many great systems out there.
MJR, you do the best game videos, man. Really dig these as a collector. Keep it up.
Ahhh yes I'm so hype for this video! I love the Gamecube.
How can you have the ultimate setup without the bongos! Come on man, I stayed up all night playing with my bongos!
Every night im POUNDING my bongos.
Jungle Beat was amazing
I always watch the new vids and every so often go back and rewatch old ones of yours as well. This looks pretty sweet on GameCube 👍👍👍
Awesome video as always, Jason. The GameCube has always been one of my favorite consoles and among the 10+ consoles that I personally own and still have set up it's maybe my most cherished, because I have the better part of this setup. I have a black DOL-001, paired with a black Game Boy Player (and disc of course), connected to the TV (55" 4K UHDTV) via the rare component cables (which go for $330+ now) and matched with a black Hori Digital Gamepad (going for $170+ now) and an old Wavebird Controller. The Hori Pad and component cables going for a combined $500 makes this the most valuable console in my collection. Never would have imagined this back when people made fun of the GameCube.
So much GameCube hype lately. I love it!
I notice thing come in cycles and its best to get ahead of the curve, so logically it best to start looking at getting the Wii before prices go through the roof mostly the rare games.
ClintGreasewood for sure! that’s why I’m building up my Wii U collection lol
That's purely speculation. Aside from everything else, how is the general public/average reseller going to determinate what's actually "rare" on the Wii? I love the system and the library, but unfortunately, it gets a bad rep these days outside of Wii Sports, Mario Galaxy, Metroid, Kirby and Xenoblade. None of which are rare in the slightest. Wii isn't like these other systems. Neither is Gamecube. There's a reason Ikaruga has never been lower than $50 yet Metal Arms Glitch and Mystic Heroes are far less readily available and only worth $10. No one on a large scale will be looking for games on these systems like with retro stuff. Therea re a ton of limited Wii games that still barely fetch higher than $25 even in an ebay Buy it now. Maybe popular games will rise in price but that's all. I'm already seeing so many scalpers fail with Wii U stuff, it's almost funny. The Wii U games that are actually overtly pricey happen to be garbage you wouldn't actually want to play...
Great video man
Keep the vids coming Metal Jesus. Awesome to see you opinion on so many great consoles!!!
Oh, man that takes me back. Especially it is really cool to see that the GC-GBA link cable was not just something Nintendo tried out, but actually became the basis for the DS family handhelds and the WiiU.
I have an wavebird joystick, its above fifteen years old and still working as brand new, the analogs are prety fine... Its a really great joystick!
Sérgio S. Filho incredible battery life too. Played through Twilight Princess on one set of batteries
I am surprised nobody is recreating those hori gamepads. Those are pricey.
I had a knockoff years ago made by Pelican. I wish I still had it
Pelican made some pretty solid knock offs back in the day. Do they still exist?
Not that I can tell. If they do, they might not make anything game related
KWKBOX they were all destroyed and put in a landfil xD just keep looking
If you have a gamecube link cable you can just use your gameboy advance as a controller with the gameboy player
Great video! I've been watching a lot of your videos the later years and have actually been wanting to come from Norway to Seattle just to experience the retro gaming community you guys got over there. Just a small note, you dont actually need the disc for the gameboy-player on the GC. You can load a file into your memorycard and boot up the gameboy-player, using several different gamecube-games. Keep up the good work :)
I'd love to see more of these videos for other consoles, really nice way to see a variety of stuff for each one that pretty casual gamers like myself who are looking into getting into some retro-gaming can learn from.
You don’t need the disc for the GB Player, you can run it using homebrew called GB Interface. You should use GBI anyways, since it corrects most of the flaws of the original software when it comes to timing, image quality, scaling options and lag. Also it’s in active development and just keeps getting better
Thanks! I'll have to look into that.
Whoa, I never knew that!
You still need a way to boot Homebrew. I.e. SD Media Launcher or modchip. But, 100% agreed GBI is excellent.
I need to check this out after hearing so much about it in the comments. I've always used the original GB Player bootdisc and have never had any problems with input lag even on my 4KTV setup, but the image quality (blurriness) with GBA games does leave a bit to be desired. It just seems to be a bit more blurry than it should, even given the fact its taking such a low res image and blowing it up. I will check this out and compare results. I'm happy with how it is already but if it can be even better that'd be great.
The boys @MyLifeinGaming demonstrate this wonderfully th-cam.com/video/hVX81e6Ig-s/w-d-xo.html
Did you try the GBI boot image for Gameboy Player/Gamecube HDMI with Swiss? I hear a lot of good things about that!
How generous to donate the Panasonic Q! I think you've convinced me to get mine down from the loft. I also have it's GBA player, I think it cost more than the console. Will definitely check out that HDMI adapter
Great video. I think making this a series would be so cool!
I remember having to get the GBA cable to play Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles multiplayer. And the Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle!
I still use my GameCube for the GameBoy Player & Smash Bros Melee.
I never seen the Hori controller at 6:29 before, I would've definitely got that.
I still use it for Mario Party & Smash Bros
Hori controller is a must for playing GBA on the cube.
Gamecube will always live on as a classic.
Who do u main
How is the gameboy player for multiplayer games? I've always wondered.
Seeing MetalJesusRocks manhandle that cube was just heart wrenching
Another awesome video from Mr. Metal Jesus!
Can we get a seperate video on the panasonic Q?
Tom Lehrer th-cam.com/video/ijwXQ2wUJd8/w-d-xo.html
Yep
I would like to know how to makes the Panasonic Us mode and how to have a DVD player that works in America.
Wife: "Honey, have you seen th-"
MJR: 3:15
I'm glad that the GameCube still holds up spectacularly. It's simply terrific. I personally feel like the best thing out of all of this is the converter. The component cable is beyond expensive so thank the lord for that adapter
Thank you SOOOOO MUCH i cant beleive how much better it looks with that hdmi adapter for digital av thx alot appreciate it!!!
Kudos for going all the way and shaking the GameCube with the HDMI adapter!
@MetalJesusRocks, how come you have so much cool stuff? Ha! I need to look into that HDMI adapter. I've been holding out for a GameCube Classic but I'm not sure that will be a thing...I'm not even sure an N64 Classic will be a thing and that would need to come first! I'd love to play some Mario Party HD on some of my charity livestreams though so I'll definitely check this out! Thanks for being awesome as always and great informative video! You guys ROCK! :D
That Bald Gamer I'm sorry but i highly doubt we'll ever see a gamecube classic. Nintendo has never even sold gamecube games on the virtual console
Yeah I thought about mentioning I was holding out for VC too but hopefully whenever Nintendo stops screwing around and gets the updated online features going for the Switch, maybe we'll have a few surprises? You're probably right though. :P
Love all your videos you and with your friends watch them daily 👍😎👍
To many words to many words
Hansbald I’m saying 150 for an HDMI adaptor expensive
Thank you @MetalJesusRocks Just picked up my own EON
My favourite gaming memory is playing Resident Evil 4 on my Dads Gamecube before school. For my 30th birthday, he brought me a Gamecube setup with original cables, a HDMI converter, and Resident Evil 4 collectors edition. The Gameboy Player would be gravy but I have to say I'm still happy with my perfect setup ☺
GameCube is such a great console. Love this setup!
That's my #1 console of all time.
SupaPixelGirl GameCube was everything that the N64 was, but improved on several times over. Those Hori controllers are shit, though.
It's always fun to play.
the only thing I would recommend is getting the game boy interface a shot much better than the original gbp from nintendo still needs the same hardware just using superior software.
Very cool set up for sure. Got to experience the Gamecube through a cousin of mine and my favorite accessory was the Gameboy player. I had a GBA and had the re-release of all three Dragon Warriors. Loved being able to play them on a TV again.
Your videos are awesome been watching for years, thanks.
I don't think you need the GBA software anymore. My Life in Gaming made a video about that.
nerdyneedsalife Homebrewers made a version that you can boot from the memory card
Metal Jesus... Toss out that awful GameBoy Player mini disc and try the Game Boy Interface (GBI)... RetroRGB has a good tutorial on this.
You wll love the improvement on the picture quality.
How much does it cost and is it hard to install? I run my gameboy player on a crt tv with S-video but my boot up disc is kinda beat up and i been looking for a alternative
I had no idea. I'll look into it.
I was about to suggest the same thing. The main reason to use a Gamecube is to play Game Boy games, so do it right.
www.retrorgb.com/gameboyinterface.html
MetalJesusRocks MJR. I got the GBI recently. It's amazing and so much better with little to no input or frame lag.
J Bird you need to get a SD card reader that works for the GC or Wii, then get the GDI software. You will also need something like an Action Replay. Check out RetroRGB on it.
Amazing, I have recently got into moding gameboys and now I am looking for a gamecube, do a few updates. But this video is ideal and I will be looking for most of these :) thank you Metal Jesus for your input
I love videos of this nature. Please make more.
Do a video on the ultimate original Xbox setup
Darth Luke and it better include the steel battalion controller
This is a cool format; he should definitely do more!
This is missing 4 GBA and the necessary link cables to play Zelda 4 Swords on Gamecube with a full party! I mean, money ain't no objective, right :)
I think you mean 5 TVs, 5 Gamecubes, 4 Gameboy Players, and 4 GBA-to-GCN cables. That's how you play 4 swords, everyone gets their own big screen.
You forgot Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, too!
Erm, you're missing the point. I think he means that it's possible to use a GameCube connected GameBoy player as an actual GBA Console. Since the GameBoy player is technically a GameBoy advance, the setup he mentioned is possible although a bit inconvenient, not to mention hilarious to see.
Rainbow Dash everyone gets big screens
I did that... totally worth it. :D
So awesome! Using GameCube to its highest potential!
Forgot one of those screens that attached and folded in like a laptop screen. Included car charger to play on road trips. Me and my brother had tons of fun on crazy taxy and Pikmin etc while on the go. Also had composite and other in/outputs which made it awesome. Must have for an ultimate setup!
Here because I’m quarantined. Thank you Jesus.
"Who could forget about Advance Wars?"
Nintendo.
Nintendo forgot about (good) Paper Mario games do I know the feel.
😭

Though to be honest, I like it when publishers ignore a franchise for a good long while. Everything is being ruined by the desire for almost constant desire for sequels and remakes across all types of media.
@@olanmills64 Definitely agree with that, but they already seem to have nailed the formula down with their constant stream of Fire Emblems. Be nice to share the love.
Good news dude! 1 + 2 will get a Switch release
Awesome video! The GameCube is an amazing system with great accessories and games.
Nice setup and recommendations! Rebel Strike also has the entire game of Rouge Leader in 2P mode! Makes the game have a ton more value.
"they store a lot of games and you really only need one or two"
You clearly never played animal crossing
Do one of these for the Atari 7800.
Retail Archaeology LoL
5200 instead, and see how much broken controllers he has :D
Yay for similar videos of different consoles!
I finally got the incredible game cube player dialed in with the settings to match a around 40 inch widescreen from 07 that had S video hookups. Remember S video hookups from the 90s before component. Definitely an upgrade from standard AV. For the GameCube player to look amazing switch tv to full frame or 4:3 from widescreen then on settings z button option change screen size to full frame, soft filter, border frame 20, and possibly take your tv sharpness level down one or two levels because S video ups the sharpness and brightness and can cause jaggies if sharpness too high.Been enjoying Golden Sun this way with cube analog stick and fat A button. Looking forward to trying others as well. Use to play em on retron 5 in HD but like this even better and more true with the cube controller and analog stick. Thanks for all the passion and insight you share with us in your amazing vids Brother.
Misleading to say you can’t get the gameboy playing without the Nintendo gameboy player software disc....just get a sd media launcher and use homebrew software which is great as you can force 240p resolution which looks amazing on a crt
collectors aren't fans of homebrew
they want the OG stuff only
aoop aop like his mame cab😂
it's different, you should know that
aoop aop I’m not slating it, use mame myself...defo no og though, pretty sure that hdmi adaptor isn’t either🙈
aoop aop The homebrew he's talking about is GBI, which is strictly for video quality. This is one of those times where fanmade stuff is leaps and bounds superior than the official product.
Nintendo's first portable Home console. 🤔
yes
TH-camrs are so lucky, they have great communities, they do what they love for a living and they just get stuff sent to them.
Good video MJ, I've been playing alot of gamecube lately and would love the gameboy adapter.
You actually don’t need the disk. You can get SD media launcher for GameCube and launch homebrew program called game boy interface which is far superior to the official disk because you can play these game boy games in 240p vs 480i/p
It's worth noting that the Wavebird controller doesn't support rumble.
I have a 12ft extention cable for the GameCube controllers. I got it from a flea market about 10 years ago or so. It works really well and can make almost any game play better if your not using a wireless controller.
Nice video bringing New Life to Old consoles
The gamecube was the most underrated system of all time
Great video metal Jesus, just got a quick question though, I already put in an order for Zeldaxpros GC plug n play, I see that the one you linked in this video does what seems like the same thing except instead of $100 it's $50 more, I'm trying to get a similar ultimate GameCube setup. Zeldaxpros model is smaller and cheaper and the new 3.0 mini model doesn't fry your GameCube like his 2.0 did. Should I back out and buy this product instead? If so, what makes it better? Since you included this with your ultimate GameCube setup and not zeldas. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Is it really worth the extra $50 price tag, thanks again for the great vid.
I don't have ZeldaXpros latest v3.0 HDMI adapter, but I've seen his crash/trip test videos and it looks solid and sturdy. I have no reason to think you wouldn't be just as happy with that at $50 less. However, I do like how the EON is sold through Amazon in case you wanted an easy refund AND it's injected molded with that extra plug for extra sturdiness... Just in case. ;)
Thanks for the reply! I'm gonna stick with ZeldaXpros since it's only $100 and it's half the size and does the same exact thing, I don't see any reason to justify the $50 extra for this one, and plus I might want to get the Panasonic Q that I saw in the video at some point and it looks like EONS won't work with it however ZeldaXpros looks like it will.
Is there really much difference between all these HDMI mods besides just design?
Christopher Alday pretty much just design. Video quality is exactly the same. I have a ZXP 3.0 it's only $100 and does a fantastic job.
MetalJesusRocks so you tell everyone to buy his product, then when your drunk gf knocks it over and fries it, you then tell everyone not to buy it as it will kill the gamecube, then endore a diffrent guy just because he has a single item on sale on amazon?
The GameCube controller is my favorite controller to this day.It's so comfortable,light and has a great button layout.
I loved my gamecube back then and still do.... what a library.... a hugely underrated system.
I really want that GBP Hori Controller, but it's way too expensive
Get a SNES to Gamecube adapter by raphnet. About $30 and SNES controller is great for the GBA player. They used to be available on Amazon, but I think you have to buy direct from them now (ships from Canada).
Hey there. Just wanted you to know you've helped me with my life's quest! :D I got a Classic Controller to Gamecube adapter from them shipped for $31 USD. R.I.P. 8-bit Mike Tyson and world 8-3
"Cannot run the Game Boy Player without this Software"
Action Replay and SD adapter: LIES
I'm guessing Game Boy Interface wasn't out when the video was released. Also, Carby is a great HDMI alternative to GCHD.
@@agntdrake M8 the GBI was out in late 2000's. I'm more guessing lack of knowledge really. But it's still a nice video though.
@@boured919 Oh wow! I didn't know that either. I just started using it, and it's AMAZEBALLS. Seriously enjoying playing Minish Cap right now.
Yup he is so clueless... the original GBP software is God awful especially once you've used GBI
gamecube is one of my favs! thanks for doing this video.
Great video man , once again good stuff , the nintendo gamecube is one of the most underrated consoles out there
Let's be fair, the other AV device didn't damage your Gamecube. The person who decided to trip over the console's controller that, in turn, jerked the console forward is what damaged the console.
No the original design was flawed. Go back and read the comments. The creator of it admitted as much
Kinsey did trip on the cord, but if the HDMI device had been designed properly, that Gamecube would still be working. Why do people keep forgetting this?
+Ding Dong A Gamecube isn't going to stop working and short circuit after falling 2 meters and never hitting the ground....
A GameCube can survive a 15 meter drop on cement. Wii's are even tougher (provided you've no disc inside the system). But you can keep living in troll land if you wish to do so. I'm going to stay in reality.
Ding Dong The console is a brick (Durability-Wise) & the connector literally had no metal shielding (Meaning the lines crossed & the whole system shorted out). You should use your eyes you know.
Dude it was the girl that broke your GameCube
Frisbee yep and he cant admit it
Not really, but you bitches should get over it anyway.
Yes do this for every system! Cool vid!
More videos like this please! Awesome video!!
A black gb player on a purple gamecube? Shameful!
Kristian Jensen Lol. I don't think there was a purple GB player made, but I'm sure someone somewhere found a way to paint one.
There was, because I have it on my purple gamecube like it's supposed to be. The gb player hardware is region free, while the disc is region locked, so there is no excuse.
Did they even make a purple gameboy player? I got a black on indigo combo and there aint no shame in my game
Every other color was only available in japan, and eBay wasn’t big enough for imports to be a thing then.
There's a Game Boy Player that's purple but it isn't available outside Japan. There are Black(North America's only retail color), Orange, Silver, Purple, Tales of Symphonia's light green and the Char Gundam Red color based on Char Anzable from Gundam.
I don't understand why you're still blaming the product for that GameCube being broken clearly it was the female's fault for tripping over the cord.
Go back and read the comments from the original creator. He ADMITS it was bad design and it's the reason why he's revised it TWICE since then.
MetalJesusRocks but you cant admit that your gf was a bit at fault? Its 100% all the products fault?
How many people are gonna forget this? Yes, she did trip over the cord, but if the HDMI adapter had been designed properly, the Gamecube would still be working. It's not Kinsey's fault the HDMI adapter was designed poorly.
MetalJesusRocks I agree with you, the guy that created that other HDMI adapter for the GameCube did not know it had faulty connection pins.
Awesome! This channel does indeed ROCK! Subbed!
Another great vid Brotha !
My ultimate GameCube setup... for the 30th anniversary of Legend of Zelda I set up *5* GameCubes with 4 Gameboy Players (thankfully you only need one disc!) to play Four Swords. It was pretty awesome. I used Commodore 1084 monitors for the Gameboy Player systems and a larger monitor with component video input for the system actually running the game. When I set that up again... I'll use a Wii to run the game, and I'll get more Wavebirds. The tangle of cables from the four systems was a nightmare.
Great review as always! Thanks for doing this!
Great video. The Gamecube was the first HD console when used with its component cable(only some US games supported 480P).
8:50 thank you for mentioning the Panasonic Q! It also had a specially designed Panasonic Q Gameboy Player you could get as well!
This would be an awesome series
Awesome setup! I still have my original black GC with the digital AV out and two Wavebirds, though I rarely use the console itself since I'm more than happy with the Wii and its component cables. I had the original GC component cables back in the day as well, but sold them for a decent amount (and I'm kicking myself for it!). Still a fun console and a lot of the graphics hold up very well, especially the 480p games.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles was awesome to play on the GC with 4 people, using GBA's was done really well. You're inventory, HUD and other functions were on your GBA. Worked really well.
Have a similar setup but with the framemeister for upscaling. This EON Hdmi adapter seems to do a good work and looks stylish. And of course it's less bulky. Cool video again!
i love you metaljesus you are amazing publish more videos it's relaxing to watch a dude is talking about his love to game and art
As a gamecube owner, I cant thank you enough for these quality informational videos
Please make more videos like this for other consoles, that'd be really great!
Love your videos Metal Jesus you are my favorite TH-camr. I collect for the GameCube and Nintendo DS and 3DS and I love it! I sold my PS1 collection 2years ago and regret I'm about to watch your buying guide for it.
Awesome video thanks for the info!
Awesome video! Yeah you should do more! 🤘🏻
My soft modded Wii U is my ultimate Gamecube setup :D. It serves as a handheld Gamecube too now with the latest updates to Nintendont.
I'm so glad that I snagged a Wii U before the prices skyrocketed. Being able to play Rogue Leader and MK Double Dash whilst on the can is fantastic.
Great setup! This is just what I need for my setup. I would definitely like to see this for other systems, namely PS2, Dreamcast, N64, and Sega Genesis.
