Let's install an HDMI on my GameCube!
I've been itching to replay some of my old GameCube games, but composite video is very user unfriendly these days. Let's fix that by modding an HDMI port into the Nintendo GameCube!

How To Install An IPS Screen In A Gameboy Advance SP
Funny how you had the same issues as me and the solution was also the exact same😂 Speaker replacement and putting the ribbon cable back in place
Nice vid, Thanks.
my spring broke, what should i do?
long shot but would you do a commission for the game gamesphere mod?
My mouse is working fine again, but I have a issue that randomly appears. some times my left mouse button registers it being pressed down at random and keeps giving off a signal of being pressed. It only disappears if I click it like 3-5 times. Any idea what could be causing this? (I'm using the exact same switch as the original)
Also my battery started to drain really fast like 20 % in 10 min
Thanks so much for this. It was a great help and my G502 is even better now thanks to those "heavier" switches :)
Seems like it would be easier to just buy a decent joystick tbh. I barely used mine like <20 hours worth and it's already broken like this.

Not sure if you'll see this, but I keep running into an issue where it says :\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\teensy\avr\libraries\MTP_Teensy\src/MTP_Teensy.h:32:2: error: #error "You need to select USB Type: 'MTP Disk (Experimental)' or 'Serial + MTP Disk (Experimental)'" 32 | #error "You need to select USB Type: 'MTP Disk (Experimental)' or 'Serial + MTP Disk (Experimental)'" | ^~~~~ Not sure how to fix this. Do I have the wrong version of MTP_Teensy or something?
I've followed the tutorial and have only one problem: a weird noise when recording. Look like it's when the SD card writing (during the record) that the noise occur. The noise is synchronised with a LED on the teensy (the one behind the SD Card) Here what I've checked: - wiring look ok - no error in code - used different power supply (pc & normal plug) - used a ground isolator - tested 3 differents mic and the noise is still here - used different card sd (32gb can't write on it but can read - 16gb doesn't work - a 128MB work fine) - wire directly to the teensy without passing by the phone card I'm asking for any help :)
Great Video! You helped me out a lot. Now everything is klicking nicely.
SPHERICAL!!!!! 🔴🔴🔴
GameSphere?? It’s only the most sophisticated gaming experience ever created by humans...and it's spherical...𝗦𝗣𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟!!!!! 🥺
Hey I don’t know if you check these comments on here but I have the exact same phone and was wondering if you would be able to share your code for this project? I am so close to having it done but have the same issue with the quiet recordings.
Sure! Just created a fork of the original repo and added my change: github.com/mattpassarelli/audio-guestbook. The specific commit with my changes (basically just some volume and gain tweaks) is here: github.com/mattpassarelli/audio-guestbook/commit/5233ec0eb38da3a1f3174d4a5e15fcb2dc147dcf
Thats one thing my cheap rog Wireles Mouse does better, there the switches are replaceable from the get go. But overall i preffer the hero.
This isn’t the Gamesphere! The Gamesphere is green! And made by Okama! And you can play Thirst for BIood on it!
interesting,the shell looks fake but the game is legit inside?
The shell is legit. I have a bootleg copy and the sticker is noticeable less shiny and reflective with a malformed "E"
here's a little tip for those who are interested in changing or replacing a part. the first time you do it. it's gonna be hard, and there will be times you mess up. but, the second time you give it a try you'll succeed. but I do recommend after you take apart your first console/system etc give it some time to let it sink in also. I HIGHLY recommend you buy a tool kit smt with alot of screws like Philips and tri wing
Small updates: - I did manage to fix the weird ground looping sound at 29:10. Turns out that the terminal block in this phone shares a lot of internal wiring so things kept getting crossed (probably. I didn't dismantle it to see so it's just a theory -a phone? theory-). Solution to that was just wiring everything together manually and forgoing the terminal block at all. This might be the biggest factor for many people with this style of phone. - I replaced the microphone. I used these: www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0VMN9P. Though and electrect style microphone will work. Just be wary of your gain settings. This improved recordings dramatically. - I added a status LED linked to the power button I put on the back. It's simple and it keeps me from plugging in the USB while it's on and potentially shorting things out. Hope that helps!
Strike through comments don't work, but you get the idea.
I'm using the exact same model of phone and the new microphone was necessary. Even after removing any connection to the terminal block on the phone, I still get that weird looping noise in the background. Any reason why it still might be happening even after trying that fix?
@@jacobkistler4815 I'd check other grounds elsewhere. I have the battery going to the Teensy and then everything is branched off that one pin. Extra grounds or connections might be causing some kind of loop
Thank you so much dude, this video helped me a lot.
How much did u pay? I only see versions which costs over 150 dollers… is it worth it?
Maybe like $70-80 in total for parts after shipping? It certainly wasn't $150. Maybe those include you sending in the GC and the labor in doing the mod for you. I'm not sure. But I like the mod, it was fun to do in general, but I was stuck at home for about a week and decided to replay some retro games and it made it a piece of cake to plug into my home theatre which was super nice.

I thought he would just put a game cube inside it and call it a day.
What’s that strip you used to press against the pins??
Hey its called a desoldering braid. Theyre made out of copper and can suck up the soldier.
what shape was the game sphere again
I want to show my appreciation to this video. Today I just successfully replace my click switch by following details of your video. This is an amazing video that thoroughly narating the process of replacing click switch. Thank you so much for your tutorial, and Kudos to you, sir.
This was the best video on this topic on the whole of UA-cam. Thank you 😢
AND ITS SPHERICAL. SPHERICAALL
Did you download the code and it worked np, i'm having trouble with the code. Not sure if something is supposed to be changed in the code.
I followed this procedure and other than the yaw being backwards it works (I reverse back it in the games). This took a while to complete but it works great. I used Kapton tape to insulate the 2 outside legs of the IC and only 5, of the 6x3mm magnets I had which was about 1/2" in length total. If you have fiddly skills and patience, this mod is so much better than stock and corrects the drift and jiggle. I hot glued the top and around the edge and lots of glue where it wouldn't interfere and the magnets placed below the IC.
You can also flip the stack of magnets around.
@@neuromonkey Yeah but you won't know it's reversed until you hot melt glue it all in place and put the controller back together. A complete teardown and removal of the magnets that are hot melt glued in place and reversed and redo the whole thing. It's infinitely easier to just reverse it in the game controller settings. There is no way to test it until it is done and then you have to redo everything.
Wait what r u replacing u took the entire thing apart💀
The switches? Duh. He needed to take the mouse apart in order to replace the switches.
hi kitty :D
damn, i got the cheapest stick TM got, and the Y potentiometer just fucking died, tried to repair it, but it's superglued to the plastic tab that holds the halfpipe for the joystick
I swear its made to break. Optical and hall effect joysticks have existed for 25+ years. Im gonna see if i can dig up and convert my old Microsoft sidewinder force feedback stick to USB rather than go through repairing this mess. That one uses fully optical system for everything including throttle.
One of the best tutorials I have ever seen about anything. No nonsense. Straight to the point. Step by step. Was able to knock out my replacement in less than an hour just following your instructions. Thanks dude
Why doesn't this have more views WTF?!?! THIS IS AWESOME lol
lmao what a useless project are you that bored or too stupid to use emulators
hey! There is no need to remove the battery :) Thank you for the video!
I love your videos, keep going! <3
I’ve had my SP since I was 5! Every few years i’d pick it back up and replay some of the classics. After 21 years of it trucking through life perfectly fine I finally dropped it and the shell cracked, I guess the old plastic got brittle over time, it practically fell apart as I disassembled it. I switched over to a nice atomic purple shell, and this was super useful!! Thank you so much!!
Excellent video. I didn't have replacement switch but instead I opened it up from your instructions of disassembly and simply cleaned the internals and switches with isopropyl alcohol. Works perfect like new again. Thanks for sharing the video, appreciated.
Logitech is really over complicating mice. Too many parts. Too many screws.
Can you list the different tools needed to do this rebuild?
Hey your link shows 2 sizes of magnets they are out of stock but i can source others. Did you use the 3mm wide magnet or the 5mm wide magnet? Thanks in advance
I’m pretty certain I used the 3mm magnets from that kit. The size doesn’t *really* matter, just so long as they fit within the handle. You just need the sensor to be able to read the magnetic field, so either should work in the end.
Thanks for the guide, i had to replace my old shell because the plastic was so brittle and it was just falling apart. I'll tell you what, i never want to mess with these hinges again. lmao
I had one when I was a kid, the vent broke. I got one recently, used it very carefully, lent it to my girlfriend and the vent broke too 🙁
i would have to photograph every step so i can put it back together
Its spherical! ... SPHERICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video dudes I repaired a friends mouse when he got a new one and gave me his old one just so I could repair it and have a backup. Your video helped a lot
