Those have to be super common, right? Keeping boxes seems to be a hobby in its own right in Japan.

Damn that's a nice box. Worth well over that asking price, imo.
Well I didn't get this done yet, but for a good reason. I have GC component cables coming in the mail and thought they would be the right thing to do this with.
Well thanks again!
NormalFish... sadly, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

Funny, I think the PAL artwork for Code Veronica X looks awesome!
I did see this on eBay.
Was this a NA release?

I wonder what was wrong with the GCN. I'm sure they'd feel even sillier if it was just a $10 lens replacement to get it working good as new again.
Yeah, I didn't bother to get into how easy Nintendo stuff can be to fix. Figured he'd suffered enough...
Sp upset! I always keep boxes for every system and game I have ever bought and owned BUT some how at some point my Gamecube system box was thrown away. It's the "limited" platinum system. I feel so incomplete.
I mean I still have my SNESE, Sega Genesis, SEGA CD, SEGA 32X and EVERY other system box but not the Gamecube box. Might just have to bite the bullet and buy the boxed system to fill that void I feel.

Correct. If you have a NA Game Boy Player disc, they're exactly like those cases.
Thanks!

Yeah. Was a budget release. I bought that years ago, actually.
Comparison finally done. All shots were done with the GCN Component cables, the 480p ones had me enable progressive scan at boot, the 480i's had me selecting no progressive scan at boot.
480i:
480p:
Now just to note, it can be hard to capture colors on accurately on my cell phone camera, but if you just look at the pause menu HUD the difference in quality is huge.
Now if that wasn't a good enough measure of quality I decided to record the intro of the game on my PVM in both 480i and 480p. Take a look and decide for yourself:
480i Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vamy4OyIofU
480p Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW-4K5Qw92A
And some more fun 480p shots I took:
Hope that helps you out. Of course everything looks 1000 times better in real life as I am just recording a CRT monitor with a cell phone, but it should give you a decent idea of the difference between 480i and 480p on a PVM.

Just picked this game off of eBay. I know that Treasure doesn't list this game in their library of games on their website but it looks hilariously awesome and bad at the same time, plus I love almost all games Treasure makes and that Sin & Punishment style music! Plus it was only $25 bucks complete.

I'm thinking about getting a Panasonic Q for about $350... It has the DVD remote, but not the gray Panasonic branded controller-- just two standard Nintendo controllers. It's very tempting....
I have heard that there are two verisions of the Q-- one that is Japanese region only and another that is region free. Is this true? Is there away of figuring out which model is which with the serial #?

I'd like to get all these games some day:
Maybe the Resident Evil Games... maybe.
- Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
- Baten Kaitos Origins
That is all...

See, I prefer the contrast of a GBP that's a different colour to the system itself.

I already have purple+purple and platinum+platinum, my third gamecube is pearl white, and I think the pearl white GBP was only included with the FFCC-bundle in Japan.

A very good start though!! BKO is a masterpiece and secretly one of the best games of the gen.
Whoa. I didn't even know they had a pearl white gamecube, let alone a pearl white gamecube player?
When were these available?
Gotta save up a little extra for FE
oR. Damn thing is damn near $150 buck CDN on ebay. I want that to be my next GC game though...sixteen-bit

Mario Strikers Limited Edition for Europe, IIRC
Edit: There was a Crystal White FFCC bundle in Japan with the GBP
I don't even remember what I had in my collection.

Traded it into Gamestop for $200 and that was that.
Every now and then I get sad. But I barely have enough time to keep up with Xbox now.
If those component cables are in such high demand, were knock offs made?

They were given away as prizes in a competition held in either Dengeki or Famitsu magazine i can't remember which of the 2 it was but there were only 150 of them made.
That looks a ton better than Avalanche.

No, there's a proprietary DAC in the cable that was never reverse engineered. Folks are looking into taking the digital signal directly for an HDMI solution tho.

I have a PAL gamecube and I wanted to ask if it is worth getting a S-Video cable

And n64 and snes? -.-
Sorry for off topic
Sorry for off topic
It works on PAL 64s but the image is usually too bright or something. This can be fixed by modding either the console or cable. Some shops online sell a specially modded cable.
PAL Super Nintendo can do it, I'm not aware of any issues there beyond buying a decent quality cable, but that applies in all situations.

Bought this baby factory sealed with pedals and everything.
I should be getting it in a few days. Mainly got it for F-Zero GX as I've never played it with a wheel. I've mastered that game and still play it every now and then and I'm sure playing it with a wheel will make it seem brand new again.
There are pretty much no gameplay videos with this wheel which is a bit disappointing so I'm thinking about doing a let's play.
There are games specifically designed for this wheel and I've been looking at a handful of titles that have my interest. R Racing Evolution is the one I'm most interested but there aren't that many new impressions on it and I'm wondering if it still holds up.

Wait, what, not only it can't do component but no svideo as well??? WTF was Nintendo on when making the Gamecube for NTSC and PAL regions?
