Hardware GCN Found my childhood GameCube..

[Kioku]

Was helping my brother move out of my mom’s house and found a relic from my not so distant past. A black DOL-001 we bought 21 years ago. Nice and dirty, and the disc drive doesn’t work. So.. I dismantled it, cleaned it, installed a spare pico I had and we’re off to the races! Honestly, I’m excited about this. Printed a little cup to go where the disc drive was. Weeeee

Spoiler: Pics!

Feel free to ignore the soldering.. I’m getting better, I promise.

I did the same with mine and filled a 256 GB memory with my games and emulators. To finish it I bought an HDMI adapter (the one from Bitfunx) And so happy now! it looks amazing on my LG Oled C2.

The soldering's pretty good. What else do you want from it :v
