Is there any reason to own a Gamecube for playing Gamecube games when a Wii can do the same thing, play an entire non-retro generation, AND emulate just about everything from 5th gen and earlier with near perfection? The Wii's component cables are reasonably priced, even.

If you have a bunch of Gamecube discs you probably should be using a gamecube just because I've heard horror stories about Wiis scratching the shit out of gamecube discs. Though getting 480p out of a gamecube is a lot pricier that using a Wii so even then its like, pick your poison.

Besides that though, just the gameboy player. The gameboy player is a great option for GBA and GBC games, but at the end of the day Nintendont does everything a GC Loader would do only better so for most people that's the best thing to use.

Yeah I know what you mean
I have a modded Wii and a stock Gamecube, and if I have the game on disc usually I'll just play it on the gamecube. There's something so comfy about the original gamecube to me.

The Wii is pretty much objectively better on every single metric though, I've heard they've even recently fixed the component sharpness/colors looking shittier than the gamecube's but I haven't updated and tried that. If you're just buying into the GCN in 2020 you'd pretty much be crazy to not just go for a wii.

The Gamecube acts as an official solution to recording GBA, GBC, and GB games on official hardware. It's not good though, the scaling and timing is fucked, and you have to mod your cube or use an action replay to get decent results from it. At that point, you may as well just emulate with a Wii instead. Did I mention that this best official solution costs around 350-400 dollars where I live?

I can think of a few reasons, one being that the wii will break easier and is by far more expensive now days than it should be. Soon buying a computer capable of dolphin emulation will be cheaper than the original wii with it's prices going up and up.

Also, as I'm mostly into gen 4 and 5 and less 6 I'd only play just a few gamecube games anyway and zero wii. About emulation, what can't do what the wii can? If you don't have a working irc that'd be another mark against the idea.

They have cheap gba flash carts and a gamecube attachment to play gba games too. So the gamecube can play lots of games that way with the gameboy thing via a flashcart or two you can program.

>>6916396
Due to how evil google is people to this day cock worship hacked consoles. I would too over dolphin being an asshole for resources but the wii isn't cheap, the psp and ds's are shit hardware compared to cheap androids, and everyone has a normal computer to begin with (that isn't a zoomer) to play most games on anyway so there's just no point.

You can't use a Gameboy Player on a Wii, Wiis will rip off loose GC disc labels, and the Component output is slightly better on GC.

Predictably I calculate that such hivemind types would love my spam so I'm just giving them what they wanted.

It's just the type of shit 4chan loves.

One main reason tripfaggots are flamed against and stuff like 'redidtor spacing' as well is because anything different pisses off the sheeple here that are just following each other's behaviors. The blind leading the blind.


They love meme evolution though, hence the image all in all.


That's the joke.

Or are you too new (you anonyfaggtos) to know about npc memes or what hiveminds are or that tripfags are hated over nothing really? The original meme reveals that the creator doesn't even understand why people tripfag with "or something" being what they imagine him to think. They can't even come up with an excuse to hide their behavior HOWEVER, back in the day tor did work and jewgle captcha wasn't there, legacy captcha was. Back then I did not trip. Back then hiro didn't range ban for profit either though so I wasn't so bored. Also, if you go waaay back there were always tripfaggots, hence the feature, so again, there's no reason tof lip out if not for a bunch of invaders that took the v for vendetta movie too seriously and also l33t h4x0r may mays too seriously.

Normalfaggot sheep npc bluepillers wanna come here and just laugh at the inside jokes, the repetition created memes, and then leave and go try to get with stacy on fakebook.

I sold my sister's Gamecube I got her in 2005 for like $50 this year.

Are they worth anything?

Is there a good way to get Gamecube games to not look scrunched and fuzzy when connecting the Wii to an HDMI converter. I don't have a CRT on hand to help.

in my personal experience with friends and family, the wii is far more prone to various disk drive issues/faliures. Besides, all the games I want to play are on Gamecube, and the ones that aren't I can emulate. That being said, I might pick up a wii sometime so I can play PM. Also I think Gamecubes have a far better visual design that makes them look better on a shelf, as well as less cords because no sensor bar bs.

Is this truth?
I was thinking of getting a wii to play GC imports thanks to the softmod, I am not sure of modding my GC

the wii's DAC is worse than the one in the gamecube component cable. if you do a wiidual mod you can get the same quality from the wii.
