        Yeah, GameCube games can look really good upscaled. There's a nice amount of clarity.

        Have fun with your spicy machine.

          I was already enjoying the picture before I remembered you can hold in b and activate progressive scan, my goodness it got even better lol. Pleasingly a hell of a lot of japanese cube games have progressive scan mode. Was pleased that my cube has a digital out.

              Not hooked up my GameCube for years but glad the component with progressive scan looks good still. I still have my official component cable and seeing as it seems to be worth so much these days I’m glad it’s still useful!
              My Japanese GC game collection is probably my most treasured out of my other collections

                  I have a brick of them as when i opened my full box i got a complete set out of it which is now safely in my ecard binder and left over is a nearly full second set but i can't remember which exact card numbera but they won't be cheap as they go for quite a lot as they are pretty rare & valuable nowadays.

                  Picked up a couple of pairs of replacement analogue stick caps off ebay as the nasty ass yellowed ones in my wavebirds were vile. Wavebirds have a lighter grey stick but i don't care i'd rather have nice looking ones than those jank ones, the replacements have the same rubber feel to them so it's all good, cleaned them up and the look & feel like new yay.

                      Basically £2.99 for a set of a thumb stick and a C stick cap. The only thing when installing these into a wavebird is you have to pull them a tiny bit up once you get them on the pegs to make them the correct height as if you push them right down onto the pegs the rubber coating bumps on the side of the octagon gate on the housing and feels a little gummy is the only way i can describe it. The length of the pegs on the regular gc controllers must be a fraction taller than the wavebird ones because of the colour they came in i'm guessing these were designed for the regular gc controllers.

                      Heres the link

                        Thanks, yeah the wavebird stick is almost white as opposed to the normal controller grey.

                            Sadly not i only have the retail packs, never could get my hands on the cardass vending versions for those few cardass exclusive cards.

                              I got a Cube too...





                              It came with the game and the Player disc, but they’re staying in the box, along with the PSU and composite cables! Just need an HDMI adapter, UK PSU and get the XenoGC in there.
