Good memories picking the og purple up on day one release. Saved my money up and called my mate up for ride out on the bikes to metro centre HMV to pick it up with luigis mansion.
Not long after discovered if you had the Broadband adapter and copy of PSO you could stream games from pc to it. As I had a lot of games already, this opened up more games that never came to the UK.
A few years later, I modded it with the original qoob chip, which did a great job. Also, instead of changing the case to the full-size dvd, I invested in mini dvds and backed up that way. Now that’s been updated to Flippydrive, which is an amazing IPL replacement. The black one is a Japanese Gamecube that had a dvd fault. Replaced the caps and all working but also popped in picoloader.
Hardware 1 og controller, 2 third party controllers bought at the time and a aliexpress special the red one. 2 bongos for jungle beat, 2 gba connect cables, and 2 HD adaptors. And the gameboy player is added to the Japanese console.
Also did little rgb mod to black console.
