It’s cool being just a layman bystander to the mod/DIY gaming scene. Learning about the cool stuff that people are doing and seeing the finished thing is super neat!
That's amazing!!! Your own GameCube Controller. It isn't easy, but our Uncle Marisa did it and enjoyed it!! Thanks for sharing with us. Greetings and now, win Super Smash Bros for all of your nephews!!!! :8)
Oh my, the paracord mod is something I've thought about for a while now, but this definitely inspires a more complete mod!! Thanks for showing us the process and the hiccups, Uncle Marisa, you're the best! Oh, and your controller came out beautiful
Very cool. Great video. For for whatever reason your gb pocket color video inspired me to start up projects I’ve shelved for years after a big life change that derailed everything and sent me back to the Stone Age. Time heals, feels good to be happy again. Hang on there everyone, and spend time with good hearted people try new things have fun
Awesome video! I've got a standard controller and a Wave Bird I'm thinking about customizing. I learned a lot watching this! Something that may help with paint chipping is using a plastic adhesion promoter before adding the primer. Duplicolor makes one that's used for painting car bumpers. It works great for stuff that gets handled a lot.
I knew way more people with a PS2 and Xbox, and while I loved my GameCube when I finally got one, I played way more PS2 games at the time. No one I knew really cared about the GameCube. So it's wild to get old and see just how many people look back at the GameCube fondly.
I honestly can't tell why it wasn't popular other than the mini-discs being weird to make games for? I know I wanted a PS2 because of Kingdom Hearts, so I'm a terrible example there.
If you modded your wii to install the homebrew channel you probably have bootmii installed, in which case you can hold reset while starting the wii to start into bootmii. What's great about that is that you can control bootmii with a gamecube controller, start homebrew channel, and control many homebrews with a gcc! If you're playing gamecube controller compatible (or gamecube games) you never need to plug the IR sensor and prepare wiimotes again :) With some portable wii mods it's even possible to remap most wii game to gcc inputs (albeit some won't feel as good because they weren't designed that way)
Your description of the gamecube from someone who most likely used to ps2 was whimsical / imaginative :). Thank you for the heads up on the Swiss App. I myself too prefer disc. At least I will prefer disc until I get my hand on a FlippyDrive. I am still on the Xeno chip for now.
Looks like the new transparent shell needed self-tapping screws. iirc the OEM gamecube controller screws dont have the pointy tip required to dig into the plastic pegs
Creeping up on that 10K and everyone’s fave uncle still hearts everyone 😁 The controller came out beautiful but calibrating without a guide would have drove me mad, haha. Awesome stuff as usual - but I’ve been wondering, is there a cool story to the little tiger (cross stitch?) because I feel like at this point it’s your cohost 😅
Thank you! It's an ornamental rug from an Internet friend. She retired from rug making but I had to buy this from her last batch because it's my colors! I have some froggy rugs hanging in our room from her too 🥰
Haven't watched yet... Promise I will, but COOL controller! I recently completed my gamecube controller set: a black one like my console, a blue indigo, a silver one, and finally a gray wavebird that I de-yellowed and cleaned. 😎
I was so close to getting a spice orange GC on ebay the other night. You should definitely try the HDMI mod if you don't have one (the picoboot and laserbear ports too while you're in there). The QSB makes it super easy! Edit: Oh man I gotta get some of those replacement sticks you showed.
I just did a paracord mod and I ended up just giving up on the copper wire and taking it off, it really is way easier to sleeve it without it. Hopefully it won’t lead to any issues.
@@yourcoolunclemarisa I'm sure Zapdos has to be electric flying now right? I havent been able to get into any pokemon game since the GBA so I don't know stuff.
What's a good paint to use for a controller if anyone has any suggestions haha I'm just playing it's in the video but one time I spray painted an original Xbox and it just feels so weird to touch it haha
