How fast this will ship depends on the options selected, current order volume, and backlog size.
You should expect it to take at least a month. If a precise ETA is needed send an email or ask in Discord before ordering.

This is a customizable Nintendo GameCube (DOL-001) that you can order with the customizations/mods you want already installed.

Features

  • All consoles are fully refurbished and tested:
    • The optical disc drive (ODD) is tested with a few games to make sure it is functional. The ODD may not be OEM/factory-original. If you prefer an OEM ODD simply note it in the order comments or send a message after ordering (no additional charge).
    • Completely disassembled and cleaned.
    • Fresh/brand new thermal pads installed.
    • All ports tested.
  • Any options selected will also be tested for functionality before shipping.
  • Although these consoles are refurbished, they are still used products that are 20 or more years old. As such, there will be some wear and tear. You should not expect a "like new" product.
  • 1-year limited warranty on most components.

Available Customization Options

  • PicoBoot
    • PicoBoot allows you to run software from a microSD card (not included) using an SD2SP2 module (included) which plugs into Serial Port 2 on the bottom of the console.
    • Updatable with a computer via USB. Accessing the USB port requires removing the top shell of the console.
    • Pico vs Pico W: Currently there is no functional difference. The project developer for PicoBoot intends to add additional functionality for the Pico W later. This additional functionality may require additional wires or components, it is unknown at this time.
  • Flippydrive (Coming Soon)
    • Flippydrive is an optical disc emulator (ODE) that does not require removing the optical disc drive (ODD). This allows you to keep your ODD and still load applications from a microSD card as if they were on a disc in the ODD.
    • Can load some applications over WiFi.
    • Faster than SD2SP2 when loading from a microSD card.
    • Can be updated wirelessly (OTA updates).
    • Without the optional extension cable, you need to remove the top housing to access the microSD card.
  • Laser Bear x BlueRetro Internal Bluetooth Controller
    • Up to 4 Bluetooth controllers can be paired at once.
    • Wired controllers are still usable.
    • When a wired controller is connected the Bluetooth controllers will move to open ports automatically.
    • LEDs in each port indicate where a controller is connected
    • Remote power control of the console via macro controls
    • Remote in-game reset via macro controls
    • Easy firmware update tool that only requires a Bluetooth-enabled device like a phone or computer
    • Multi-function reset button
    • Configurable button mapping using the web interface on a computer or phone
    • Replaceable socket for CR2032 (not included in international shipments due to shipping limitations)
    • More details:
  • GCVideo DVI
    • Uses a Pluto IIx HDMI with GCVideo 3.1.
    • Direct digital video output with no analog intermediate for best quality.
      • Although GCVideo tries to make the output signal as standards-compliant as possible, some homebrew software uses video parameters that are too far away from normal video standards to correct them. Such homebrew software may not work with some displays.
      • GCVideo does not attempt to read the capabilities of the display, so it is possible to set the output to something that the display does not support, resulting in a corrupted or no picture.
    • Optional line doubler to convert 240p/288p/480i/576i modes to 480p/576p.
      • 480i/576i modes look very ugly with line doubling. If your display accepts these modes directly, it is recommended not to use it for them.
    • Optional scanline overlay with selectable strength hybrid factor.
    • User-friendly on-screen configuration controlled with a Gamecube controller.
  • Accessory: Game Boy Player
    • This is a used official Nintendo accessory (DOL-017).
    • Allows the GameCube to play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance cartridges.
    • It does not use emulation. The Game Boy Player contains hardware that is nearly identical to that of the Game Boy Advance.
    • A boot disc is not included, however, the original software is widely considered inferior to the homebrew community's implementation of it, and as such it's highly recommended you use that instead.
  • Noctua Fan Upgrade
    • Includes a Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX fan which has been customized/modified to work with a GameCube.
    • The adapter was designed by Retro Frog and is used with permission.

Included:

  • Nintendo GameCube main unit, customized per selection options + PicoBoot
  • SD2SP2

Not included but required:

  • microSD card(s)
    • 1x microSD card for SD2SP2 (if PicoBoot is installed/selected)
    • 1x microSD card for Flippydrive (if Flippydrive is installed/selected)
    • Although the system will work without the microSD cards, you need them if you select both options to make use of all of the available features.
  • Power supply (if not selected)
  • Video cable(s)
  • Controller(s)

Some of the parts for the available options are not stocked and won't be ordered/produced until you place your order. These parts are:

  • Laser Bear x BlueRetro Internal Bluetooth Controller which is sourced directly from Laser Bear upon order.
  • Noctua Fan Upgrade
    • The fan is not stocked and is sourced from Amazon.
    • The fan adapters are printed upon order.
  • GCVideo DVI
    • The Pluto IIx HDMI is stocked but only 1-2 are in stock at any given time so it could run out.

Because these options are not stocked they can be delayed significantly if their source is only taking pre-orders.
