But have multiple Jackie Chan’s Xavix makes me happy.. and I got boxes of hyperscan

I just have this one but it's a nice set. 2 Silver Wavebirds in great condition too.

You should add an option so we can include a quantity. I've 4 NGC, but I use my backwwards compatible Wii instead.

Alex13mod · Jan 31, 2021

I Have mine since day 1.
Now it has XENO GC and SD2SP
I still own all my GC RARE GAMES.

Armadillo · Jan 31, 2021

I still have a black one somewhere in the attic.
Bought it on a flee market some years ago.

I never had one when it was "new", but did have a wii since 2007-ish that could play the games. Now I have four of them! I have plans to mod one into a fully custom case and be 100% silent! Or at least less of a jumbo jet with a near silent big fan on the thing!

i have the oldest wii that has gamecube backwards compatibility so i suppose that counts?

Why not? Only difference is the Gameboy player and price of component cables.

Because this poll is, I think, about the actual real original (or modded) GameCube. Not if you can still play GameCube games on actual Nintendo hardware.

And technically ALL wii models have gamecube compatibility in their hardware. Nintendo just removed the ports on later models. The connection points are still there. Even the Wii mini has the solder test points to add the ports back....and I was working on it at some point. This "feature" is what makes Nintendont work on these models.

But to be fair...the discs can't be read on the models without the ports as far as I know. At least the mini does not read them.

Technically off-topic, but still: Depends what you want. There are various methods to boot homebrew software – with and without hardware modification. Overview:
https://www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=Booting_Homebrew

The best and most advanced modification is GCLoader (optical drive emulator) to get rid of the error prone moving parts and laser. There are IPL replacements – Hyperboot – offering booting to Swiss without functional drive but loading like the methods below (no complete optical drive emulator).
The cheapest method (if you already own a game on the list) is getting an SD-Gecko and/or SD2SP2 (if your GameCube has "Serial Port 2") and using a save exploit.
If you are not afraid of soldering: The very cheap XenoGC clone modchip will allow you to boot Swiss from burned Mini-DVD. Success depends on laser and media quality and may require adjusting the potentiometer.
Seems somebody succeeded in using Datel's method for Swiss and is offering pressed boot discs that work on unmodified GC (only NTSC consoles). Good idea, good work – but a pretty high price. https://everdrivestore.com/collections/gamecube Might as well go directly to GCLoader

Note that only IPL-replacements or GCLoader allow booting Swiss without functional disc drive.

Good luck and have fun!
=====================

Now to the question of this thread: Yes, I have two GameCube consoles (and six fully GC compatible Wii). One of the GC has Game Boy Player and XenoGC for booting Swiss from burned disc (limits the usage of the aging drive to some seconds each time using the cube).

I have at least one gamecube but I might still have my broken one as well. No idea where it'd be cuz it broke in 2008 lol.

I'm still confused as to whether the SD-Gecko is necessarily the same as the SD Media Launcher. I wish there was a comprehensive guide for all this stuff; there seems to be so much outdated information circulating.

I'll say. You can still buy the official Datel product for less than that: https://www.codejunkies.com/Products/SD-Media-Launcher__EF000580V.aspx .

It's not the same. The SD Gecko is just an adapter that you can put an SD card in and fit's in the memory card slot. The SD Media Launcher is the boot disc from Datel that allows to load homebrew from the SD card.

While I agree the price is really high, the Datel software has a limitation of 2GB on the SD card. It means you boot the Datel disk with an 2GB SD card that has swiss on it -> then launch swiss -> swap SD card -> reload! I know from experience this is NOT fun to do a lot while testing homebrew!

If that expensive disk boots directly into swiss with bigger SD card support....it could be an option.
