Definitely, they’re both out of the ordinary.

I believe Doshin costs a lot these days. I got mine for… £4.50 in 2007 lol. I guess a bit less than 20 years.

Yeah looks incredible.

I’ll wait and see if it can support forcing video mode, as I have heaps of PAL games I force to 480p.

> Here’s something I think is pretty cool. I’ve been looking for storage cases for lots of my controllers for years. Decided to try out this one off Aliexpress made for some Switch gamecube style pad [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006613636084.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006613636084.html) And it works great for real Gamecube controllers! But remove the foam and it’s also a very nice snug fit for wireless N64 controllers, like the Switch online pad here, or an 8bitdo converted one. It wouldn’t work with …

This controller case is perfect for Gamecube controllers:

There’s a golden opportunity to sell these to a specific fighting game community.

so i’ve had a GC loader/swiss setup for a bit, but something in putting the case back on must’ve been awry, because the power button had issues…my partner & i took it apart, applied pressure reassmbling, and got it back together with said button clicking right

only…not getting anything at the moment when booting up? the orange system light comes on for a second & then fades (i forget if it normally did this with this setup?), i can hear the system’s on & running but no picture or audio. i’m gonna mess with the RGB cable this weekend & see if it’s something like that, wondering if i somehow messed things up with the SD drive or the like while working on said button

GC loader meaning ODE? Does that use Swiss?

Either way it shouldn’t affect video, issues with that would just affect game loading, you should still see the bootup.

yeah ODE w/swiss. i’m gonna try a friend’s power cable soon - hoping that sorts it, if not it might be the board itself

Cheap power supplies are often noisy. Really best to stick to OEM on Gamecube/N64 etc.

That said, there is a new USB C power supply mod out, I’m keen to see impressions.
