Pimp them? No, keep them fixed and original.

Jeez, did the previous owner use that GC as a flotation device, in a pool full of pepsi? I never understand how users let their game systems/PC's get to this level of misuse

@nuwavghost Exactly. I know people like to deny that Nintendo consoles are for kids or are a "kiddie console" but the fact of the matter is plenty of kids owed them and used and abused the heck out of them. Same thing with literally any of their other Home consoles and or Portables. ( though I must say if you're getting a ten-year-old a switch you got too much disposable income,yeesh!)

It's always good to know that these old Nintendo work horses can still be used for decades to come. It's always comforting to know that these things can be fixed rather easily and cheaply and continue to work for a long time to come.

Gamecube was actually more powerful than the PS2, with the xbox being the most powerful for that gen. Didnt own a Gamcube till later ( had the PS2 early on) but still, my friends and I always played Melee, Double Dash, Viewtful Joe, Res4, Wind Waker/TP and of course Super Monkey ball as well:)

@khaledalhosani1409

SirReznor yes it was more powerful! I remember trying Batman Vengeance (one of my first game cube purchases) on Game Cube and then seeing it on my friends PS2 and it looked better and somehow smoother (If I recall correctly ) on gamecube. However, some titles like need for speed, Def Jam FFNY had some features cut due to the disk size, sometimes it’s audio files, others textures or details. It’s amazing how Nintendo was able to squeeze every ounce of the console power and disk size. :D

"Some Corrosion"

You can leave the metal RF shielding out usually, it's only in there to keep the FCC happy. And it ain't like the GameCube has any actual RF-emitting components.

Love this type of stuff! Because of your videos I started to actually tinker, clean, learn and fix old video game stuff that I had. Now I'm hooked into doing this stuff.

Ok, I know the thing has a handle on it, but how do you get enough water damage in a GameCube for it to be broken? Lol

I love this type of content. Keep it coming dude!

Love these types of videos, between you and a few others I’ve learned loads of great stuff about my favourite consoles

you have to respect people that takes the time to properly wrapped up something that they're sending off to someone who bought it from them especially when that item isn't working they still take the time

Since you said it, Yes! I really enjoy and love the restore Videos, I always learn something watching them and they are fun to watch. keep ur good work up! much love

I’m always in awe of people who are able to do things like this. That’s why I enjoy these videos because it’s borderline sorcery! Plus it had GameCube in the title, there was no way I wasn’t going to watch it

This is awesome! You should do more of this refurbished stuff! Super interesting

Nice! These gamecube related videos are my favorites. Especially when getting the games in the mail!

Awesome restore, brother!! I definitely check out all your videos and find cool tips and tricks all the time. Keep 'em coming!!

I've always wanted to get into things like this I definitely enjoy these videos. Thanks man!

I love all this stuff. So cool Jon. Nice work! Do a saturn!

This types of videos are my favorite. Keep up the great content.

Sunday funday that intro could have been grrrreat! Always like these repair type videos keep up the great work.

I love watching these I watch alot of Tronics fix cause he and you both actually talk us through it and it's nice.

Awesome video, that final look is AWESOME!! Very impressive!

Used GameCube for sale. “Light” water damage. Doesn’t read discs. Well, when you flood the disc motor... Great video!

Thanks for keeping the music going during the put back together phase with the final look. I didn't want the music to stop lol. I miss my GameCube and games, I wish I still had mine :(

I appreciate your repair videos, vastly helpful to the community

I love your restoration videos! So far this year I've restored an original Xbox and a Game Boy Color. Thank you for the inspiration!

I like the stuff you do with consoles, changing shells, fixing them, doing custom work

Love all your Gamecube content. Goodluck with your GC collection!

I like a lot of your vids, but the teardowns/rebuilds/fixes are definitely my favorite.

I find these repair videos very interesting. Thanks!

Love it dude, I watch all your vids, great content always.

Really good Job Jon(SW). Man that GC was beat up badly with that Water Damage. That Starlight Gold Case is looking fantastic, I had the Purple one back when, which was pretty funky and sweet.

I thought, "Well since it's highly unlikely you'd upload a failure video... *shakes Magic 8 Ball* all signs point to yes" Then I skipped ahead to where it was in fact fixed. Next video.

Definitely, definitely enjoyed this type of video. I would love it if you did these more often. I mean even if you don’t do them to keep them, you could always just sell them again on eBay and get your money back. It’s a win-win. I love these techie videos.

I watch newswave every morning and really enjoy your weekend content!

I love the little sound when it boots up a game, i remember my GC becoming faulty and i'd just wait to hear that sound which confirms it has read the game correctly. Sometimes it'd take upwards of 15 minutes to get it running lol

Thanks for all the fix it videos you make. Because of them I’m able to repair. From someone who has no knowledge what so at all.Mostly recent drift issue for my friends switches.

I love Spawnwave's projects and console tear downs.

Nice F-Zero X tracks in vid and outro, X and GX are my favorite 64 and GC games. Masterpieces. Great job on the restoration.

Totally awesome GameCube repair video. I really like these types of videos. I hope to see more

I like watching these restoration Videos. Been watching quite a few of them lately as this is something i would like to do.

Hey I’m kinda new here been watching for only a couple months! But I love your videos man keep on keepin on.

I love these videos! I always want to do it myself but get scared of needing to micro solder

I'd love to see more videos like this Also, I've been trying to get a gamecube since I only had the ps2 when I was a kid, but every guy I call asking for the cube, it's been sold a few hours or days before my call, it's pretty annoying since those has been really good prices

Love your vids man, makes my day!

YES!!!! Make more of these types of videos!!!! Keep it up!

I bought myself a GameCube for 23$ 2 years ago and it works flawlessly.

I had a rusted GameCube that I found at a flea market. I got it and a couple games for 20 bucks not realizing there was rust pouring out of the ports on the bottom. Got home and it still worked perfectly. I was very surprised 😂

Love these types of videos!

Love these kinds of videos. Keep it up.

I know I’m late to the party, but keep pushing videos like this. It’s great watching. Oh and please do a budget at the end.

Amazing videos man. Love to see the passion and knowledge shine through. Question, my GameCube has never been professionally cleaned but is still looking and running like a top. Should I keep on keeping on or look into getting it cleaned? I love this thing and play it monthly, I just wonder how much more it has in it. I can visibly see dust and grim on the fan. I wonder what 20+ years of use has done to it?

Imagine knowing this was yours and seeing this video, your poor Gamecube getting beautifully resurrected

The end result looks amazing.

Your starlight GameCube build turned out Great! 👍

I have been working on pre-PS3, X360 gaming consoles for about 10 years now. One thing that continues to amaze me is how durable these things are! Ive received consoles that I was told had been stored in less than idea conditions, open to the elements storage sheds, wet, moldy basements, attics with no venelation, etc. Unless they were literally standing in water or crushed by something heavy most still worked! And those that didnt worked great after a good cleaning or minor part replacement.

They must of dropped this one in the pool😆, great video btw my guy!✊🏼

Love these type of video

Recently repaired mine! Great console! What a looker by the way
