Big thanks to Jake for modding my GameCube. This mod is awesome and I have already put hours into Lego starwars and Mario kart double dash. For anyone thinking about modding theirs, I highly recommend. Also I had no idea there was an eject button to get the games out...... Thank you Jake! You're the best

I'm about to do this mod myself because been wanting to do a GC mod for more then a decade, just never got around doing it. i could do the Xeno mod but i know there is a "M.2 loader" mod in the works and this works in conjunction with the picoboot mod, basically plug n play once picoboot is installed and working.

@ryker86 10 месяцев назад

Good video, I have a couple questions for you. When you screw back on the top assembly do the wires get pinched, specifically where you have the heat shrink tubing? And secondly, have you tried updating the preloaded Pico boot firmware?

@DustyCPU Месяц назад

Just came across this tutorial and want to mod mine now, but aliexpress is showing 7 options for picoboot kits. Will any of them work, or are there variations like is mentioned in the video?

@monchopr3511 Год назад

@Jake Simmons, following your channel recently. Interesting way your videos you show us real issues we could find while doing the mods and how to deal with those. Also, I always have issues soldering to chips legs. I have some nerves problems and trembling is inevitable. Any advise to help with that? Another thing, can you do a video replacing the Gamecube disc drive capacitors? Thank you. Blessings.

I don't think Nintendo cares if you pirate a game or you buy it from a scalp... I mean, from some random person, which are the two only options right now. Either way, Nintendo (or whatever developer) gets exacly the same amount of money: 0.

Risk asssessment on this mod was insufficient in this video. I bricked my NGC by shorting the IPL due to a sub-IC bridge.

@mattwilliams1002 Год назад

Jake, do you prefer this version over using the fancy flex ribbon option that they have? Curious if you happen to know if one way is better or easier to install than another?

@bronson9854 11 месяцев назад

a flex cable is just these wires glued together, you could get any old ribbon cable (like one from an old computer "ide flex ribbon") and use it instead of the wires. the bennifit to the ribbon cable is it keeps your wires organized and flat so they fit better when you close the case

I have 10 game cubes at home, but only one picoboot was a successful battle. Other than that, if you temporarily drive when you put on Raspberry Pi, only a black screen will appear. If there is any solution, please teach me.

@Giradel Год назад

This mod is really finickily imo. I have done the mod and have a black screen eventually I was able to get it to work by cutting the length of the wires. The wires need to be very short or else you get a black screen when booting. I think the reasoning is the wires need to be short so that the Pico board can be activated before the CPU board activates, at least thats the reasoning.

@GarbageAndy Год назад

yo Jake great tutorial! do you happen to know the gauge of wire the kit includes? I tried this with 26AWG stranded wire and it was difficult. Is this solid wire and would you recommend it?

@JakeSimmons Год назад

I don’t know what gauge the wire is but it worked fine for me. I usually use this 30awg wire for most all of my projects amzn.to/3KWjCll

@GarbageAndy Год назад

@@JakeSimmons hell yeah thanks for the reply! I heard 26AWG is recommended for Picoboot but they’re big. I’m curious if 30 will work well

@DJMcMahon6740 8 месяцев назад

Can I use any ground point on my pico? The mount i have for it cuts off the GND at the bottom

@JakeSimmons 8 месяцев назад

you can use the one in between all the spots you solder to on the left

@nyquilforthekill1620 Год назад

Xeno GC is a heck of a lot cheaper to buy than the pico boot and requires less intensive soldering. The only downside is calibrating the disk reader Pot and burning a mini dvd-r disc but they sells swiss discs premade too.

@JakeSimmons Год назад

I feel like you can’t say a heck of a lot cheaper when it’s only about a $5 difference. I also think the pico install is a lot easier, plus you can replace your thermal pads at the same time. I still think there’s a benefit to having the Xenochip mod, but I think picoboot is better for most people. Just my opinion though

@maciejkobus Год назад

Pico MSRP is $4, it may be more expensive now because of supply chain issues tho. There are no benefits to Xeno over PicoBoot. Running region free games and burned discs is also possible with PicoBoot and as easy as selecting the DVD device in Swiss.

@JakeSimmons 10 месяцев назад

I don’t know how to explain it properly but essentially it is on there but you won’t see it in the file system when you plug it back in. Once you load it and it ejects itself, leave it alone, it’s on there. Your problem is probably the wires. Try new wires and make sure you don’t tighten the screws too tight around where they stick out

@messatsu1981 11 месяцев назад

Its the same model of Pico i have, i wanted to know if the green light when u turn on the console Is bright or After u Power on the console It turn low bright....because i have a problem, its blinking 2-3 times and stay low but dont load swiss :( , Just normal GameCube....dunno what It the problem...May be the soldering? Or something software wise?

@JakeSimmons 11 месяцев назад

Try loosening the screws around where the wires come out. I’ve done it a few times since this video and had problems where the wires were just pinched. Loosening the screws should help!

@makedaevilmage 10 месяцев назад

I just tried the pico boot mod ... I'm not getting a signal output anyone. Funny enough, while pressed in the boot sel button and turning on the GC boots into the default way. anyone know that I might be doing wrong here? Already flashed the Pico and the pico led is green ... also used a multimeter to confirm my soldering and they all beep just fine.

@JakeSimmons 10 месяцев назад

@JakeSimmons Год назад

The pico wiring is slightly different for dol 101 (linked in description and shown in the video) and I believe you can use a disc drive replacement to run games off of an sd card. But that might be an entirely different mod

My GC is bone stock. I run it on old TV's so I've not really worried about modding it. However it is in the Indigo color. My least favorite color. So I have been considering doing a custom paint job on it. But maybe I should consider some other mods to make it a more useful console to play from. What would you suggest on hardware mods?

@JakeSimmons Год назад

… the stuff in this video?

@looselycollected7505 Год назад

You mentioned another chip mod. And I'm sure there are other mods. So I was curious if you'd recommend this mod in particular over others.

@@looselycollected7505 I recommend this mod, especially if you’re new to soldering. If you want to be able to use Game discs from other regions and use an sd card full of games, I recommend the Xenochip mod
