Extrems has posted a few updates to the Game Boy Interface software in the past few months. Some of the more notable changes are the updated video modes and color matrices by Pokefan531. As always, the latest version of the software can be found here: https://files.extremscorner.org/gamecube/apps/gbi/latest Full list of changes: Fixed a power issue. Enabled USB […]
The Gamecube homebrew software Swiss has had another long list of updates! Any Swiss user booting from SD should definitely upgrade, but any DVDr user should check the update list below and see if the changes effect them. To be honest, I always just upgrade – There’s always so many amazing improvements, I don’t even […]
Why boot Gameboy Interface (GBI) through Zelda Wind Waker? Because it is really fast! You even can copy your modified Zelda Wind Walker save game for a friend, so they can enjoy GBI as well. Material needed : Gamecube Memory Card (with NO Wind Waker save on it, cheap one can be bought on eBay) […]
This Swiss team just posted another release, focusing on specific game enhancements and adding the ability to launch the Game Boy Player startup disc from an SD card. Of course, no one with SD launch access would want to use the GBP disc over the Game Boy Interface software, however being able to launch GBP […]
A new version of the GCVideo firmware was released that fixes the audio bug that resulted in reduced volume even when volume was set to 255 in the OSD. Certainly not something people without programmers should be worrying about, but if you have the ability to update and don’t mind nerding out, might as well give […]
Update: One more: https://github.com/emukidid/swiss-gc/releases The Swiss team has been hard at work updating their software, with three four updates in the previous weeks! For anyone unfamiliar with the software, the most common use is for launching games with forced video modes, such as forcing a 480i game to run in 480p. Swiss can be used with […]
Insurrection Industries has just teased a custom GameCube component video cable that utilizes their high-quality Digital Port connector. As it’s based off the latest version of GCVideoLite, it’s assumed that the cables will perform identically to the official Nintendo GC component cables and connect the same as well: Their cables get component video from […]
8BitDo has just announced a wireless adapter for the Nintendo Switch. This allows you to plug in both GameCube and Wii Classic controllers into the adapter, which is then wirelessly connected to the Switch. The main page lists the adapter as “lag-free”, but that’s hard to believe considering you first have to convert the controllers […]
Someone has just purchased a prototype wiimote and sensor bar that was a prototype for the GameCube! Read the full story on arstechnica: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/10/japanese-auction-reveals-nintendos-first-wii-remote-for-the-gamecube/ UPDATE: While I’d still call this a very cool find, this is not the first time the controllers have been seen. Someone on the AssemblerGames forum found a similar prototype a […]
Unseen just published a firmware update for all GCVideo devices (analog, digital, dual, Wii, etc) that addresses a chroma bug: https://github.com/ikorb/gcvideo/releases From what I gathered, the bug happens when GCVideo converts from the GC’s native signal format of YCbCr to RGB. Component video output was unaffected. Extrems demonstrated this via screenshots on his page: https://www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=Game_Boy_Interface/High-Fidelity_Edition#Video_quality Unfortunately, […]
