But a soft modded Wii is easier? plus it's video output seems way better for GameCube games. I keep meaning to sell my GameCube after I finally bought a Wii last year!

Not for component out.

 

not too sure about RGB though.

Yeah I do, recently tried out the homebrew player software called gameboy interface and I have to say it is far better than the official software. Homebrew software is really easy to run with a Action Reply and a SD loader card on Gamecube.

Question: does anyone have the ability to copy the wind waker exploit save and a boot.gci of the latest Swiss to a memory card for me?

 

despite my protestations that getting a Wii is easier I find myself without a Wii but with a GameCube and windwaker so I’m looking at losing home brew via a sd2sp2. I need a way to boot Swiss first but looking for a way to use the things I got here. @Jei?

I was reading through this thread last week and had no idea the Hori SNES-style pad was worth so much - Jesus. I bought it for about a tenner back in the day, more as a novelty than anything else. 

 

Generally been playing some GameCube games I missed first time; Go! Go! Hypergrind is a surprisingly fun cartoon Tony Hawk's / JSR ripoff.

Madness. They're not even particularly great.

Holy shit, and I thought the component cable was a mad price! I've got two of these in a box somewhere.....

Just sold one for over £100 on eBay. Listing barely lasted 3 days... madness.

Modchipped to allow non official media to be booted. 

 

Not necessarily, these are in the original cases and the lasers aren’t adjusted so the only thing these are modded for/ will allow is any region games, screen fix’s etc.

@AceGrace for reference buddy

So long story short I borrowed a home brewed Wii and now have Swiss 0.5 booting from the windwaker exploit with a sd2sp2 installed in the bottom. Yay! 
 

a little more involved than using a home brewed Wii but an interesting curio nonetheless. Now for another play through of Skies of Arcadia.

I’m playing on my old Pio plasma through component cable and while it does look good I expect it doesn’t look as sharp as it would on a smaller screen. Picked up a second unofficial controller so I can play Monkey Fight with my youngest. What a charming machine it still is.

 I think anyone who want to play Gamecube on a modern LCD should invest in a HDMI adapter, combined with the modern version of SWISS means you can play just about any import game on a PAL Gamecube and boot most PAL games into 480p. SWISS also corrects the text and save issue with the Japanese font on a English cube, but it does require that you then have a memory card set aside for only Japanese games and on boot your PAL cube bios can't read the card.

 

Kaico recently provided Randomised Gaming with a unit of their Gamecube adapter to review and while there are other adapters out there I must stress, I was really impressed with the results. Given my old Gamecube a new least of life for GC, GBA and GC games. Picture quality is slightly better then the Wii component output as well I found. I went down the route of a Action replay disc and a SD media loader to boot SWISS on Gamecube. You can burn a bootable SWISS disc, but getting the mini CDs and a burner that can write to them is rather tricky.

Btw I’m a fucking dufus, was playing in 480i. Switched to 480p and it looks looooads better.
