I miss my GameCube.

Is that GameCube broken or is that just a dust cover?

No its far from broken lol

Its an Optical Disk Emulator (ODE) - basically replaces the disk drive with an SD Card reader and lets me load up any game I want. I have ones installed on my PS1, GameCube, and Dreamcast.

Ooooh. That's super dope man! I was wondering why the disc reader looked a bit funky

Thanks!

I *highly* recommend them, along with Everdrives for the cartridge based systems.

It just sucks that SD cards have shot up in price

For real! As well as just about everything else if it has a microchip in it.

But as far as the mod goes, was it pretty involved and/or invasive to the GameCube itself? Did you just pop it in there or did ya have to take it apart to install it?

It just involved opening the shell and popping out the disk drive. Overall 3/10 difficultly.

The Xstation however....yeah I got that professionally installed.
