Get a platinum wave bird too

>he doesn't use Nintendont

>>8534509
i've seen wavebirds go for $100, a bit too much

>>8534527
i'm not a gamer, i collect stuff and want physical copies

>dug out my old CRT and Gamecube for nostalgia
>remember it has nogaems
>plug my PC into the CRT and start emulating Burnout Revenge

>>8534537
>Burnout Revenge
Emulation sucks

>>8534534
Based paperweightchad. Assuming that's you in the pic, your controller not matching the color of your console (or vice versa) is making my autism go off.

Could've gotten a Wii and just pirated the games and even played them on original hardware with nearly all the original Gamecube accessories, the price gouging for GC discs is only going to get worse.

>>8534541
current versions of PCSX2 run it just fine. Burnout 3 not so much.

>>8534486
>i'm back in 2003
TAKE ME WITH YOU! :(
I got Rebel Strike and the Zelda Collector Disc and more! I will share!!

>>8534486
Glad you’re having fun buddy

>>8534580
so yeah i got a new gamecube

>>8534612
just don't be poor

>>8534617
so do i

>>8534486
Yo look at those fat wrists. Is your bloodtype Ragu? Like goddamn, dude.

>>8534626
Spending money doesn't make you not poor, having it does. But you do you, I'm not gonna rag on the topic any further.

>>8534672
i just don't really care for playing the games anymore, i just want my childhood collection back, which is almost complete

>>8534486
I got my old one working again last month, I’m having a blast

>>8534626
>PAL
Into the bin.

>>8534736
you don't like 576p?

>>8534742
Letterboxed and in slow-motion 50fps? And I say this as a tremendous eurohomo, first chance I got I made my collection NTSC/60hz were applicable. Only exception obviously being "mee 'miger".

>>8534486
Dude, want to meet up and play Prime 2 and Timesplitters 2 MP? I'll bring my controller and pizza.

>>8534765
???

>>8534784
>look here's a unicorn
Well that changes everything innit?

>>8534795

>>8534795
how many more of the big games have it you think?

>>8534616
That's a PS2 game? Hot damn, would've thought it was PS3/360

>>8534769
>Prime 2 and Timesplitters 2
actually two games i gotta get, forgot about ts2

>>8534742
>576p

>>8534784
>>8534804
>>8534807

>>8534913
is it not 576p? i'm using scart, but maybe that's the component stuff?

is GC better than xbox for multiplats?

>>8534808
Easy mistake, some of those late 6th gen games like black and burnout really dipped deep into the brown'n'bloom look. That's when that style really started.

>>8534982
No, it mostly trades blows with the PS2 in terms of quality but the difference is usually decided by the PS2 controller just having more buttons and a more reasonable layout.

>>8534486
Nice larp, zoomer
If it were really like you're back in 2003 then you'd be playing on your old gamecube that you've had since then

>>8534639
Blessed fatshamer

>>8534534
Are they really?
*digs up my two controllers out of storage*

>>8534921
You honestly believe you are playing 60hz 576p games on your PAL GCN anon?

>>8535013
I got a perfect condition Wavebird for $70 AUD last month, if anything they should be cheaper in the US

>>8535024
Alright, 480i 60hz then.
Not sure if my TV has an info menu

>>8535024
I play 480p 60 Hz games on my PAL GCN

>>8534527
soulless

>>8534784
60hz mode is not 576p

>>8534486
Now you just need to play a good game on it.

>>8534486
You have the fattest fuckin' hands I've ever seen, legitimate goblin fingers.

What's with the hand fetishism every time Anon's hand is in the pic? It's not even a /vr/ thing any board goes into /fit/ mode once someone's hand is visible.

>>8536591
Anons just gotta take a dig at something to cope.

>>8534982
>Peter Jackson's King Kong
Has a game breaking glitch in one level
>Crash Bandicoot TWoC
Looks considerably worse and runs at a lower framerate
>Need for Speed Underground
Looks worse
>Mega Man Anniversary Collection
Less extra content and less configuration options, B-A buttons are wrong on GC.
>Burnout 2
Xbox version has more content and custom soundtracks
>Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Not even a contest

So far I have not found a multiplat game that is better on GC. it's posible, but GC version of the games often take a blow because those stupid mini discs. Even if they look or run the same, most games are heavily compressed and in some cases, even cut.

>>8534982
I think more often than not, PS2 is the best and Xbox is the best for increased resolutions

>>8534672
>Spending money doesn't make you not poor, having it does.

I'll take "Disposable Income" for $500 Alex...

>>8536687
If you didn't waste money you'd be even richer, anon

>>8534626
>so do I
Nice sigma move, smack down the needy beta and keep enjoying your games alone.
Do you have any Analogue consoles?

>>8536687
I'll take all of your income for "disposable income", Johnny Millenial.

>>8534616
wrong bro, Burnout 3 is fixed
also neither it nor revenge can run on the gaycube lel

>>8536645
Apart from maybe mega man, all those games are pretty average so I wouldn't even bother with them

>>8536645
Simpsons hit and run

>>8536873
That's a good point, the Gamecube's multiplat library is pretty lackluster.

>>8536885
Played both. Honestly I don't remember any big differences that make one version better than the other, but I've heard that the PS2 version is the worst of the 3.

>>8536794
>Do you have any Analogue consoles?
would be pretty cool to have, but since they're more for the extravagant gamers than just purely collectors, it doesn't really feel worth it

>>8536812
was it fixed very recently?

>>8534486
>That bow
Not quite, you'll need to open up your Trinitron and change the capacitors, sharpen the image, apply magnetic strips, and re-seat the yoke in order to have a Vintage Retro Gamur™ experience.

>>8536591
People mock all kinds of shit visible in pictures. Have you not seen a single battlestation thread? People that treat their body and their dwelling like a landfill are hilarious to laugh at. Even better when it clearly bothers them like >>8536637

>>8537226
now that you say it, it does actually look a bit crooked on that photo, i don't really notice it in-game though
definitely doesn't need more sharpening, at least from the menu

yee looks straight to me

>>8537226
no one did that shit back in the day, our tvs all had shit geometry and we liked it that way

I got a GameCube recently. Disks are smaller and more square than I remember.

>>8537328
if you're going the sd card route, why not wii and nintendont, with way easier and cheaper video output?

>>8537357
Better digital output for the GC and GBA Player support. Also pretty minor, but not having to dick around with the Wii menu and backup launcher for GameCube games is nice.

>>8537227
Well I was commenting to highlight to anon that it happens all the time, but to be fair any picture on the internet is open to ridicule, regardless of the website. It's not me that was judging and being bitter for not having hands

>>8537323
CRTs were also sold new out of box stores back then, professionally calibrated. And most people replaced their set every 5 years, not me though, my family was poor.

>>8537414
>Better digital output for the GC
This was fixed on the Wii, but you are right about having Gameboy player.

>>8537483
https://www.retrorgb.com/gamecubevswii.html
GameCube has pure digital output with devices like the EON and Prism, there’s no digital to analog conversion going on and will display better on a modern display.

>>8537471
>professionally calibrated
unfortunetly not, most of the time they just wanted it decent enough to pass qa

>>8537414
You can configure BootMii to go straight to Nintendont when you power on the Wii.

Try adjusting bias and gain together, with your human eyeball, and let me know how that goes.

>>8534808
To be fair it did get a 360 port a few months after but yeah Criterion knew their shit

>>8537216
Not that anon but yeah it was a month ago

>>8537513
oh damn that's rad, i tried playing it like two months ago and it was still as bad as 10 years ago

>>8537513
>>8537525
welp, performance is still pretty lackluster, unless burnout revenge had slowdown

I have a Gamecube with a GCHD Mk II and a Gameboy Player, as well as a hacked Wii that I keep plugged into a CRT that I also have a Wii2HDMI for

I use the Gamecube for
>Games I actually own and that support progressive scan
>GBI (I have a GBA flashcart)

I use the Wii for
>Games that I'd prefer to play on a CRT
>Games that don't support progressive scan, like Harvest Moon
>Gamecube games that I'm priced out of wanting to buy, like Fire Emblem or Pokemon

then I use the Wii2HDMI and throw it on the flatscreen for most Wii Games since those all support 16:9

PAL games only support progressive scan if you use an action replay

>>8537710
Not true

>>8537495
Based researChad, people think Wii is a 1:1 clone of the GameCube, but that's not necessarily true, video output-wise.
https://youtu.be/hVX81e6Ig-s?t=1155

>>8534486
I got one last year as well and played wind waker for the first time. I wish I had space for a crt TV in my room

>>8537881
Well yeah, the GCN's component cable had its own dedicated decoder hardware inside the plug, there's a reason it's so rare

>>8537710
Retard

>>8537881
Does that mean a GCHD Mk-II + SCART/Wii component cable theoretically gives a cleaner picture over official component cables, since it interpolates the GameCube's 4:2:2 chroma to 4:4:4?

>>8534486
It's lonely not having anyone to enjoy with, isn't it?
Even just someone else in the room to give some further ambiance.

>>8537619
>GCHAD Mk II
I like the sound of this

>>8537619
>>8539942
$160 for hdmi output
