The timing of when this vid came out! I am also currently updating my Spice Orange GC. I added a new jewel with a Paper Mario logo and doing an hdmi mod. Great to see you are still giving the GC some attention. Great video!

Some great matching accessories are the Hori orange memory cards, the orange "beART" LCD screen, and the orange GBA.

I LOVE seeing these older games upscaled and given new life! Some of these games look absolutely amazing!!! It's like a brand new experience for some of these titles. WOW!

Just recently I stumbled upon your channel since I got back into retro gaming and I‘ve really been enjoying your content so far, especially the videos of your trip to Japan. Greetings from Austria!

I noticed you playing the GBA “Revenge of the Sith” game at the end. That game is an absolute thrill!

I enjoyed this video so much, I was surprised and disappointed by its short length! I thought for sure it'd be at least 15 minutes long, maybe 20. I would've liked to see more of your games upscaled, including Game Boy Advance games, and also comparisons with conventional output options and such. That Spice color-coordinated GameCube setup is sweet! It's great we got to see it (I didn't know about the Spice GBA Player). I always enjoy seeing your collection and especially your personal favorites and as always your enthusiasm for all sorts of titles.

I love Nintendo GameCube growing up even nowadays, about a year ago I basically upgrade my system with HDMI adapter and the mclassic adapter as well, it looks absolutely amazing on my 4K flat screen television. Great video man.😉👍

Man I love seeing Gamecube Videos 🙌🙌🙌 thank you so much for featuring this console with the custom jewel I made for it! If you ever want an incredible gamecube controller, please let me know I'd be happy to make you one 🤜🤛

Hey just found your channel today, I’m South Korean and was born in Seoul but have lived here since I was 5. I’ve brought home numerous Japanese/Korean market consoles and accessories on my visits to SK during the summer and it’s really cool to see a hot rodded GameCube like yours! Great channel man! One way I’ve found to upscale is using my Emotiva 16 channel Dolby Atmos processor to upscale any 480-1080p sources to 4K without adding any latency. I’ve been doing it for a couple years now with no issues. In all reality depending on native resolution, viewing distance and display device a 720p/1080p native image upscaled to 4K may not be that great. I’ve tested it both with an 85” Samsung QN95 QLED as well as an LG G1 OLED and my 4K short throw laser projector and all in all it certainly makes it cleaner and more presentable.

Love your videos ! Your videos have helped me reawaken my love of gaming and seeing the old games & systems takes me back. Thanks for being awesome Bro !

The upscaler and homebrew interface looks nice!

This is awesome man! I will definitely be looking into some of these upgrades myself!

That video was just amazing... and the mClassic is very, very impressive!

So glad I kept my Game Boy Player disc! The upscaling looks pretty good, and the extra options with the Swiss interface are excellent.

Love your content, man. Especially the Gamecube ones. You seem like a good man! I’ve been watching the channel for a couples of years now. I myself only collect for the Gamecube, all the Game Boys and all DS (Nintendo rules lol). Congrats on the job! Straight out off Brazil! 🇧🇷

I love the GameCube set up. I currently have the spice gamecube, Gameboy player, wavebird, and memory card lol its a modded gamecube that's region free and has colorful LED lights in the power and controller light sockets. So I'm feeling this video! 😎

Great set up!

Very cool. Thank you for sharing with us.

Wow this Gamecube is awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!!

How do you turn upscaling off on your TV?

I didn't know you could use this to play real GBA carts! Going to look into this option and thanks for sharing!

One of my friends has a mClassic. Seeing it work in person is impressive.

I fully support you on this. Physical media is great to have and consoles you need a couple of each really. I gotta say having a modern custom is the way to go. Upscale it? Awesome dude! I like playing older games in HD it kinda makes it fresh again too. Some games may be visually unappealing without upscaling being used to HD everything nowadays. It's rough going back on some of them. Anyways great GameCube man. 👍

So cool that you post a GameCube video I just found one at Goodwill for $8!

Laser bear makes 3D printed adapters that basically inserts into the GC loader inside the case. And has a port on it, it’ll fill in the space where the optical drive was and makes it look more finished and complete. Would be worth getting as it’s very simple to add on.

Liked and subbed. I plan on owning a gamecube soon and tons of games. Your channel is awesome!

By advertising an optical drive emulator he had installed? Which eliminates the need for those expensive discs.

The only thing I think you are missing is the laserbear mod for the sd card. It’s definitely worth it. I just use the official component cable that outputs great 480p for my cube.

Awesome video man 😎!

Dude, I’ve been so nostalgic for the GameCube days lately, plus old school pc games oh man the memories 😀

That Spice GameCube is so slick. I have had a Spice Controller since the beginning (it's my favourite controller)

I Love the spice orange gamecube! Have one too with the box and everything. Also have the GC-loader installed with a black SD mount installed. Also a wind waker jewel from rockergaming! GameCube must be the most underrated console ever. So I'm glad people have started to appreciate it more!

hey metal jesus i love the videos

I was re watching this and loved to see P.N 03 get some screen time thanks mjr

I can tell the M Classic is putting in a lot of work! It's not a perfect solution but it works! Textures and edges look better. Downside: there's some weird artifacting going on around some edges and some of the anti-aliasing looks more like out of focus XBR filtering or something. It can't be a 1:1 1080p solution ofc. Upscaling down stream is guaranteed to produce at least a little wonkiness. IDK enough about GC/Wii mods and FPGA stuff (if it exists) to know if there's a better way to get true 1080p GC games without side effects (video idea?). I'm so excited to finally catch one of your vids early MJR! I'm new to the channel and always watch stuff... what, 5 or 6 years late? As a die hard PSP fan I really enjoyed going through (literally) every single one of your PSP videos!

Forcing 480p with Swiss (not using the disc native 480p) will actually output a sharper image. The problem with this is dithering, when games abuse alpha dithering you dont want to use this option. Thats why some games with native 480p use a blur filter.

quality video as always good work

Greetings from Sweden. Got a regionfreemodded GC found at a recyclingyard some years ago. It was apparently used in a prison (taped all around it with markings from the holding facility, glued/cemented memory card so no in-mate could take it away. Were some games along but it had both the Free Loader disc and the Game Boy Player disc.

With all the new real estate inside the machine from removing the CD drive you might be able to get someone to wire the adapters internally so it's just an HDMI port on the back.

Yeah just recently got that gamecube itch as well. Just an awesome console!

I have the same setup. I wish I bougut the gc mk-ii HDMI adapter when it was available. People ask thousands now... The only thing I would suggest would be the 3d printed bracket from laserbear with a sd card expansion. It makes getting the sd card in and out easier and covers up the big hole.

That's pretty neat! I wish there was a proper NES -> HDMI plug'n'play solution, that would be really cool.

I currently own a Xeno chip modded purple GameCube w/ a matching color GB Player and 1x matching color controller. Thanks to MVG's video from 2018 or 2019, I was able to find out what to purchase afterwards such as the memory card adapter that plugs into the player 2 slot so it can read my ROMs (GC games and/or misc) based on the DOL (app) tied to the console it emulates by way of S.W.I.S.S. burnt onto a mini-DVD in the disc tray. During Prime Day last year, I purchased the 'HDMI Adapter/1080p converter' from Retro-Bit on sale for $68. Recently as of last week, I just ordered the Marseille mClassic as well on sale for $80 at GameStop which should be arriving by the end of the month 😊...

Nice Jason!

That gamecube is awesome!

That Panasonic GC is pure awesomeness.

Great video MJR, though the first thing I was looking forward to after seeing the title was how far you'd mod the controller. That's ok tho!

Metal Jesus, many do it but nobody does it quite like you. Cudo's!!!

I'm not sure if you want to do extra, but there's extra GBI benefits if you pair your system to a Retrotink 5x. For the GCHD, it's perfect as it has the Wii slot.

Gamecube for life. I remember I was in 6th grade. Someone picked me to go on vacation with them literally because I had the Gamecube with the gba loader and the top screen attachment so it was like a portable super cube. I play all my gamecube stuff on my modded wii now but something about the system and it's snug fitting accessories is infinitely cool.

i wish i had a gamecube. honestly this orange looks amazing! i got a wii though wich i will definetly mod someday

The mClassic is an amazing piece of kit to have for all retro collector's. It makes getting a portable 1080p monitor worth buying too.

MetalJesus uploading is awesome, but him uploading gamecube videos is even better

I play my gamecube on a trinitron 36 inch beast of a tv so I do t have to worry about scaling issues and it looks phenomenal

This is so BADASS!!! The GameCube is still awesome sir!

Little Hi Metal Jesus from France, I modified my Gc too months ago and I use the GCloader + a bitfunX hdmi it works very well ^^

This is my same setup except I use the RetroBit HDMI adapter and I don't have the GB player on my secondary GameCube. The LasedBear 3D printed mount works great, Swiss is super sweet and I really like the mClassic's upscaling!

I can't wait to get my hands on the GC loader I've been trying to find one for a year now

I'm glad I got my Gameboy Player and start up disc for about $50, that was 7 years ago. I'm happy I picked it up back then.

Dude yes been on a GameCube kick myself started buying more games for the collections and accessories

Gamecube will always be my favorite

Wavebird was sublime 👍

The SD card reader looks much better with the 3d printed mount you can buy online

If you get an action replay and a memory card with an sd card slot, you can use your Gamecube to rip the discs. I believe BC Wiis can also rip them.

good RGB scart, OSSC 4x, GBI(SR) 240p60 with Indentity color matrix on GBI looks just amazing.

This is awesome, the GameCube is such a powerhouse of a system to collect for.

Loosing that Gameboy player Start up disc is the worse I bought a backup when they were cheap years ago just in case, I lost mine. Also, If you really want to pimp out your GameCube collection, The Panasonic Q has its own Gameboy player. I'm only seen it in person once, and it said to be rarer than the system itself.

Oh you have my fav Gamecube game and one of my all time fav games ever, Eternal Darkness. I wish they made that sequel more or update it

There are 3D printed inserts to make the GCLoader easier to access and look nicer. I got mine from Laser Bear, the orange version matches the spice orange GameCube almost perfectly. Also, in Swiss, if you mark a file in Windows on the SDCard as "Hidden", it will not show up in the listing in Swiss, so you can hide stuff like Swiss itself. Do you have the spice orange Gameboy Advance yet? It matches the spice orange GameCube perfectly and is a perfect combo IMO.

I agree with the 3d printed insert, looks incomplete without it. Thanks for the info on hiding files in Swiss. What a great tip! Combined with a SD2SP2, my GC has all the functionality I could ever want. Would be nice to have a genuine GDEmu but I’ve never had a problem with my clone unit. I also prefer using the GameBoy Interface software over the included software for the GB player. Highly recommend.

To be fair, I've been thinking about SD card modification to some of my consoles, because unlike my cartridge games, my disk based media collection seems to degrade more rapidly. Where many of my disk games which were working when I last tried them a few years ago, are not working now. Which I'm not sure if its disk rot, or the optical drive at issue. But ultimately, I'm not wanting to have to continuously rebuy games in my collection, especially when some are way more expensive than when I originally procured them. So an SD card solution is something I'm looking into, even if it seems like a more technical solution, and less plug and play than I'd like.

You need that 3D printied mold that pushes the SD card up to the top so you don't have to reach down inside is an extender cable that attaches to it that way you can just open it up and it's right at the top where the disc would be

I Love the Mclassic it makes the N64 with the Eon Super64 look Amazing as well.

I LOVE the mclassic. never play my gamecube without it! Also Swiss lets you use cheats, so if you check the dolphin wiki most games have a real widescreen codes! widescreen makes games look fantastic !! really great way to replay games like sunshine or metroid prime :) also totally underrated feature for cleaning up the aliasing: using the "force anisotropic filter" in the options menu. can rly help in some games!
