#Nintendo #GameCube #SNES - Hry
Retro emulation on Wii is great if you want to game on a CRT without having to collect a physical library. This would work great for SNES, Genesis, NES and GBA emulation on Wii!
official emulation or are we talking actual decent emulators via homebrew channel? because all virtual console games looked super dark on the wii
@@LovelyAlanna You could also use a mod like this for fighting games (Especially 2D like CVS2 on Gamecube or TvC on Wii)
The Wii classic controller already does this
@@TheMysteryDriver It's not a SNES controller
@@jamesvgold it has the same form factor and more buttons.
How to mess with someone's mind... "hey, have you heard?.. there's a new snes controller being released for the Gamecube..."
Not bad for a first run, but it could be improved.
1. Not sure why they attached the chip to a small PCB instead of the main one? Seems like a needlessly added step and part.
2. The cable could be improved if they use JST connectors (eliminating the need to solder the cable directly)
3. I feel like it should come with the shoulder PCB's as well (this would allow it to be easily reversible back to SNES)
Main reason for seperate chip is that it's sold by its self normally for DIY handhelds like Wii portables
Just wait, I bet 8BitDo can have a solder-less design for the same price or cheaper in a few month.
@@Festivus_Miracle8bitdo only ever do wireless stuff, so no it ain’t gonna happen
This should be great for the Wii and those Wii Ware ports of older games.
To be fair, that's why the Wii Classic controller exists. I used it for Smash Brawl and Mario All-Stars for my Wii as a kid.
Or just buy a classic controller for like the same price and have better compatibility with other games like Mario kart
This looks like a great mod, I just ordered one thanks to your video. I had about a retro fighters controller awhile back to use with the GameBoy player since it had what looked like a nice d-pad on it and was disappointed in it. I think I even have a couple of broken SNES controllers still that this could breath new life in to.
This will be an excellent use of my damaged SNES controllers, thanks for highlighting this.
I saw raphnet had an adapter for the wii classic port to a gamecube port, not sure if they have a snes to gamecube one
There is. That's my go to gameboy player setup. Raphnet adapter paired with an OEM SNES controller.
There is but it's never in stock :(
i thoroughly enjoy this type of content
DO NOT USE AN OEM SHELL! Save money and use a 3rd party shell for this mod. Also, help preserve OEM shells in their stock form for as long as possible, by only modding things that need maintenance.
Cool mod! As a fan of various types of controllers! I like your set up for this one!
Every time you show something zoomed in, I am dying to give you a manicure!!! Those cuticles need serious TLC 😂
The GameCube controller is my favorite controller of all time. Especially the WaveBird.
Adapter cable is the way to go for ease and price.
Pretty interesting DIY project, cool that it lets you make use of an original shell and solder the connections to a GameCube controller end. Pretty novel idea but like you mentioned in the video, quite cool for beginners of soldering who second as retro gaming enthusiasts. It kinda runs through with the community, especially with the topic of mod chips.
As someone who's been wanting a SNES controller for PC, I've been using the NSO one they sell which is pretty cheap and really good. If Bluetooth is an option for you I'd highly recommend that one, even has more buttons
What brand wall lights are those?
Personally, unless I were to find a genuine SNES controller that was missing the cord, I would use aftermarket parts for this rather than cannibalizing a real controller. The 5½ face buttons and maybe the D-pad are available through Game Boy mod shops, so it's only the shell and shoulder buttons I would need to find.
I'm glad I still have my original Hori digital controller for the GameCube.
No wonder I’ve been bored
Spawn hasn’t posted a tear down in a while
All I've really wanted was a reasonably priced gamecube controller with action buttons that don't look like someone sneezed them on the controller.
Loved using my gamecube controller on wii playing smash bros and winning against everyone 😊
Could you do something like this with the Power A Nintendo switch gamecube controller? That d pad is bigger than the original gc controllers. Maybe not big enough still, but a better size, I think
Would this work with the SNS-102 model controller that came with the SNES Jr.?
i just finished installing this, tested it on two different modded gamecubes. it doesn't seem to want to play with the laserbear blue retro internal, though it works just fine on the original controller port.
Insert Jeff Goldblums Jurassic Park line here
I don't know why ppl don't talk about the n64 to gamecube adapter. The n64 controller is amazing for 2d platformers and the gameboy player. Plus u don't have to pay an arm and a leg for the hori pad
its a pity that there are no good gamecube replacement pads... at least i couldn't find one
Awsome video!
I had so many blisters playing Street Fighter 2 Turbo with E-Honda using that SNES controller haha
That looks tough. I am afraid I will burn my house down while soldering. At least my finger anyway. You can reap those rewards though.
I used to have a HORI game pad like this. It was great for using the GC Gameboy Player.
can you use a snes replica controller?
Fun, but in the end I feel the lack of control stick, C-stick and buttons would make it a hassle to use.
2 things
1. You can just buy those hori knockoffs that have the actual GameCube button layout.
2. The 8bitdo mod kit had everything all ready for you no soldering necessary.
Man only If it was compatible with the snes classic mini controller
Emulation + PS4 controller = Everything you need.
I definally goint to do this mod.
Can you do a review on the Nitro Deck?
This has a good & wonderful retro SNES vibe and don't even have it.
😎 Tech Wave 🌊
Noice
We need a Wavebird Pro controller for the new Switch.
Would be nice for the GB player since that hori controller is kinda expensive right now
I just bought a third party GCN GameCube controller and swapped my SNES classic d-pad with it.
I just use an old beat up orginal model GBA with a link cable for the Gameboy Player, its perfect.@@Nickachuuu
Wii U GameCube adapter works on the switch. This is a fun way to get an official wired Snes controller for switch.
Without soldering, i did the same with cheap usb nes controllee for my retropie. D-pad is way more responsive than those crap ones from amazon
Finally a controller for sonic mega collection and mega man anniversary collection
I currently use a GC to SNES Controller adapter for play GameBoy Player.
I purchased this and installed it and after some testing I came out a bit disappointed with this product for 2 reasons.
#1- The size of the pcb on the SUPER GC+ MODKIT is a bit thicker than the OEM snes pcb, this in turn makes the dpad membrane push down on the plastic dpad which in turn gives the dpad an awful stiffness. The only solution I found to alleviate this was to unloosen the screws on the controller to alleviate the pressure.
#2- I'm not sure if it's the way the input contacts on this pcb are designed, but I am getting a lot of missed inputs on all face buttons, especially during light button taps and mashing. I tried various OEM membranes and kept on getting the same result. This ended up being the dealbreaker for me.
It's for this reason that I recommend getting yourself a raph-net adapter which allows you to keep your snes controller intact without opening it up and doing any internal changes.
I use the Gameboy Player. But I already use that one controller designed for the GBplayer so I don't think I will go out of my way to obtain this kit
Yeah those are alot of money now. If they were less rare and cheaper than I dont think they would have made this tbh.
@alyxoj1361 I got the Old Skool controller that was released not too long ago. It was $20-30 when I got it
@@Cookiedon15Yeah that’s not the Hori one but still cool in its own right especially for the price.
I just use a beat up old orginial model GBA with link cable as a controller. Its like having the formfactor of the handheld whilst playing on the big screen. its great tbh.@@Cookiedon15
I like the old school one look like that but GameCube buttons
Cool, but I pretty much already made one of these out of that SNES to GC pcb mod. I use a HORI Snes controller, the back grips are nicer.
I thought the GameCube controller was perfect
This is good for the GameBoy Player though
@@lukaskidd4621agreed
@@lukaskidd4621that what i thought
The c stick is it’s weak point
Amazing controller, but xbox one for me. I don't think the GC controller would fit in with todays FPS heavy market.
This is great… I was just lamenting the fact that I actually had no way to properly play Super Nintendo games on my modded GameCube. These GameCube style SNES controllers (hori pad, retrobit, & oldskool) don’t cut it.
Have you tried the 8bitdo lite ? It's just like a snes pad. It looks wierd with 2 dpads but it works amazingly well.
@@54356776 how do I hook an 8bitdo controller up to a GameCube? Seems they make “retro receiver” adapters for every system except GameCube. If I could do that, I would just use my sn30 pro for SNES games of course.
To use with the Gameboy player, that thing is more expensive than playing a GBA consolizer.
Viewtiful Joe plays great like this.
Why not install a Laserbear Gamecube Blue Retro Internal Adapter and use a 8Bitdo SN30 if you want a SNES like controller?🤔
I would say that using this with a working SNES controller would be a waste, given that those are fewer and far between these days, but it's a good project to repurpose an SNES controller that no longer functions due to the electronics having failed or the wires being damaged, etc.
I've played every THPS GBA game that was released and I was pleasantly surprised how well the game looked and played. Was fun unlocking and 100% all skaters.
This seems like it would be great for the Gameboy player
sounds cool, but i see this work better on the nes, snes, gb, gbc and gba more.
Nintendo should have kept the layout of the gamecube. It wouldnt be as akward going from Xbox and PS to Nintendo. It was unique and very comfortable. They could kept the C-Stick name instead going to right stick.
But no joystick?😢
This is neat, but it maps the controls 1:1. that menas you're going to be playing GameBoy Player games with the SNES B and A buttons instead of the more natural comfortable Y and B buttons. I would buy one of these if they made a varient that had slightly different mapping of Gamecube B to SNES Y and Gamecube A to SNES B.
Instead, you should seek ta non-destructive adapter from Retrzone called the Wii SNES RetroPort. This has a female SNES socket to allow you to simply plug in any SNES or Super Famicom controller or even arcade stick and use it on the Gamecube or Wii. The only advantage this kit has is the rumble, which is a very minor thing.
U can remap buttons in software
Yet another moment where people complain that gameboy advance dpad is bad for playing gameboy advance games.
you should use GBI when playing, it's so much better especially on a CRT
Goddamn something so uneasy about this shit. So geniusly put together. I know i hear that shit. I gotta go back to school!
I wonder why using this, if you can use an SNES to GC Adapter? I bought one years ago and never had any issue using it with an original SNES Controller for Wii VC Games.
Dude, If anything I wish 8bitdo would do one of their adapters for the GCN. I know there’s that mod for it, but it’s a mod! What need is there to mod a home system when all you want is to use a generic wireless controller? At least now I can use anything with my PSX1. That one took a while.
I think Nintendo has very good controllers
I mean, I can just accomplish the same thing with an 8-bitdo classic SNES controller and an emulator.
Gamecube and purple, everything is purple
I'd call it a waste if an SNES controller, especially when, like you say, you can just get an adapter. That said, good use for a broken controller.
From a product perspective I don't get why don't they just include the microcontroller on the board instead of having you solder it. Seems like an odd choice.
Nintendo cheap’d out on the GameCube d-pad by using the same d-pad from GBA
Blurst! 😎
Can we take a moment and appreciate the work John puts into his video to assuring we will be entertain
Have you tried it with Smash Bros yet?
Just buy a ralphnet adapter. Even works with 8bitdo’s wireless SNES controllers and you can still use it back and forth between GameCube and SNES and your not destroying anything.
my same thought, but it comes with rumble and I personally would only use it on 3rd party SNES controllers
I honestly just stick with my Hori pad
I just did the N64 Switch mod. It’s awesome. This is cool, but not something I’m interested in.
Can you do it with the snes controllers on the snes classic?
Why this over a GameCube to snes controller adapter. No modding necessary and they have been a thing for years? Ow just finished the video. It has rumble. I guess that answers my question.
+$10 for rumble i suppose... but then again, you just nuetered your SNES controller from ever being usable on your SNES. I guess for 3rd party controllers this could be cool.
Yes, but does it take Glock magazines? 😉
Why?
found nothi g wrong with the gc controller
U luv too see it
Why does everyone say the GameCube dpad is bad for Gameboy player, when it is the exact same size as all Gameboy dpads? Does that mean all Gameboy dpads are bad?
I'd rather just get a custom controller. I don't know how to solder stuff. Besides I don't have many games where a D-pad would be necessary. There are some Game Gear Sonic games on Sonic Adventure but they aren't that great.
JIS Screws... not phillips. They are almost the same, but you shouldnt use a phillips driver on JIS screws (japanese industrial standard). JIS is sooo much better and you can use a JIS driver on phillips screws. its hard to explain, but JIS wont cam/twist out as easily when tight. Do youself a favor and get some, Vessel makes some good ones. I promise, you will never wwant to use a phillips driver ever again.
Too niche for my needs
Was looking forward to this , , until i saw how unassembled it is and the severe amount soldering involved makes this excessively unattractive , the ONLY soldering im capable of is soldering a co-ax cable to another co-ax cable , , , ,🤔🔥🤔🤔
I started keeping sealed controllers this year 💨
Xbox series X gets most of my gaming but I play the mall when I have time.
PS4 weekend, Free Callisto protocol this week ready for MW3 beta Friday
Low rez Cod Hype 💥 winning & Next weekend MW3 Xbox series X
StarField has been great, Gamepass keeps you busy
Next month I’ll probably get Nintendo switch online back
F Zero 99 looks fun
Counter strike 2 is not bad steam deck likes it
Now I just need the RE4 remake, the dead space remake, system shock remastered
PS5, PSVR2, a new resistance game, a new Killzone game & MAG 2 lol
2023 is the greatest year ever for gamers 🥇 🦍
Meow
i don't see the point of this
I do not like the idea of using a SNES controller for Game Boy games. The face buttons are angled in a way that makes Y and B feel more comfortable as a default position rather than A and B. This is also why I hated the NES dog-bone controller.
Why? This is unnecessary.
GC dpad is crap
@aaaaa-kf5lc for what? You are better off getting a third-party gamecube controller like MadCat than this. Why would you downgrade yourself with limitations imput?
On PC/Dolphin, you can use other controllers like PS4 and Xbox to solve this problem.
Stupid mod, they have GameCube to SNES adapters & you don’t lose any functionality. Zero point to do this mod.
Wired??? Really???? 2023?????
Another pointless video
