Correction at 1:41 "500 British Pounds" should have been "500 Thousand British Pounds."
Shadow ban.
I was thinking this sounds very wrong
This was so funny though LMAO!
I got a good laugh.
I was about to say I know the pound goes further than the dollar, but not THAT much further lol

Theres not enough appreciation for the gamecube’s travel handle.
I never used it
Only bothered with it when trying to pack the thing for a move. Honestly I moved one enough to want to snap the handle off just to make it easier to fit in a box.
@@MasterArchfiend I feel ya. They had the perfect design for a console that could easily be packed in a box, but decided to add that one detail that messed it all up.
It's not really a problem, but such an annoying little design choice lol
That handle was amazing. The true on the go home console. Too bad you could not play it on the go, but the handle made picking it up more convenient.
@@gothicspoon If the handle was just easy to remove or collapsible like a metal lunchbox, then my only complaint would be not getting to enjoy it enough.

My man knows the definition of overrated
No kidding. Ridiculous prices now. 😑
The gide ment lower than the msrp rather then 2 to 3x higher but yeah
LOL!
I sold like over 40 games system, memory cards, 2-3 controllers to those scanners at blockbuster when I was a kid for $80. I had all the incredibly expensive games too, at least 5 of them 😭 im so maaadddd! Just so I could get the NINTENDO DS with NO game! 🤣 I had to sell the old to get the new. :(
There is another fork of Dolphin called "PrimeHack" made to let you play the Metroid Prime Trilogy with mouse and keyboard like your average FPS (your camera moves while the reticle and aimpoint stays at the middle of the screen). Also other features like instant Visor/Beam swapping and obviously being able to play at higher resolutions if your computer can handle them.
Yup, and it's the best thing ever. You can also adjust the FOV too.
Feels like a real PC port of my favorite games. Only thing I can't do is play them at 144 fps. Yet.
Damn. Modders are awesome. DolphinVR let’s you play it like Half Life Alyx.
Damn, thanks for the info. The prime games were always a little clunky to work with. This should really help.
you sir have made me a happy panda.
I still can't find a decent iso for it that doesn't softlock Dolphin when I try to run it.

oh look it's my favorite channel as shown in the end card, did you know food
love you guys
you actually can, you can install practice codes for sunshine that include mario with sunglasses everywhere without dark screen
Honestly, I just want Nintendo to release the Mario Kart arcade games in a collection. Especially since the only official way of playing them is by getting a giant arcade machine
Probably not happening for the same reason SEGA not wanting Mario in their Sonic All Stars racing.
Well Ive heard theres a way with a homebrewed Wii via Nintendont, I havent done it myself but its the most accessible way to do so
Is there a non official way?

Very good timing on this video. I recently dusted off my old Gamecube and have begun buying parts to mod it and install an SD card that can run games directly from the console.
I've had to purchase everything again from controllers, power cable, to the tv hook ups but I'm excited to finally play some old Gamecube games again as it might be my favorite console ever.
Get a sd2sp and a gc loader and your set.
Hey, how easy was it to mod the GC? In particular I’m dying to play PSO 1&2 which was shown in the video
@@wolfiemuse Man it was years ago at this point and my memory is a little hazy, but if I recall correctly it's as simple as taking out a few screws and plugging in a GC Loader, then plugging in a board into the bottom port with the games on it. I don't think there was any soldering required for this one.
Maybe someone else could clarify some points on this but if I remember correctly it's one of the easier mods to do. Hopefully that was somewhat helpful lol. Good luck!
@@nastybedazzler I appreciate it! I need to learn how to solder anyway so if it needs it, whatever. Lol.
As a person living in South East Asia, I can confirm that piracy is rampant here
Rylando Restacruz I was wondering. So he answered my curiousness
@Rylando Restacruz If people were only allowed to share their story if someone asked, then we would barely have any information out here. You can't ask anything about something you have never heard of in the first place. (unless you tell someone what you do know and then ask them to tell you something you aren't aware of already)
@@ankaplanka lmaooo 😂 seriously tho
I’m surprised you didn’t choose MVG to do the voiceover
Lol
Mistakes were made
That would have been a great and sorta obvious choice
Thank you so much for covering my article! You guys are one of the big reasons I became a gaming journalist, so thank you thank you thank you! Long live Did You Know Gaming!!!!!!
Playing Phantasy Star Online on my Gamecube back in 2004 was such a huge part of my childhood, first console live game before Halo 2 a year or 2 later. PSO was LEGENDARY. My friends and I still play it on my Gamecube decades later. The graphics and gameplay didn't age well, but the nostalgia is unbeatable
The game is incredible and I want to go back and play it. Have wanted to for a number of years.
I like how 99% of the comments are about how 500 pounds equates to 1000000 dollars
My wife weighs 500 pounds, where can I trade her for $1000000?
@@fartz666 lmao
I thought I was crazy and the only one that noticed that. My guess is they meant 500 *THOUSAND* (or half a million) British pounds. That would make sense with inflation given it was just 16 years ago
All of their uploads are supposedly disseminating facts, to get such a simple fact wrong raises countless questions.
That's 100,000 in comma!
Just an addendum to the Slippi launcher for Melee, it doesn't add just any online matchmaking, it's rollback netcode matchmaking (which is considered better than delay-based netcode as seen in most other fighters such as Smash Ultimate). And the whole thing is optimized for this that it runs much smoother than most games would otherwise. Also the footage used for Melee isn't exactly the one used for rollback netplay. It actually has its own custom UI changes such as prompts on how to start matching with another player on the character select screen and usernames by the character percent and stock icons in-game.
This video is genuinely alot of fun and very informative, thank you everyone who made it!
0:49 The only reason the Wii sold well was also because of it being a Wii Sports machine for many families; the game sales weren’t exactly bad, but could have done better for the caliber of games released
That's true mainly in the first world.
Over here in latinoamerica, the Wii and 360 sold well thanks to ease of piracy. I still remember those Internet Cafes with hacked 360's you could for an hour play on for a fee and had basically every game released up to that point.
That's not entirely true, the issue with the Wii was that it largely became a Nintendo box. Its the system that kicked off that stigma.
500 pounds isn’t even close to 2000 dollars, let alone a million
They probably meant 500,000, but that caught my ear as well.
^This
I thought this was confusing too, but 500k makes sense.
Yeah that sounded weird to me too. Probably just a script goof up or something
Was going to make a similar call out that strange value bump
he said over 500 pounds so he's not wrong.
im so glad that dolphin exists so i dont have to do any of this shit
Seriously. Don’t let the Nintendo trolls hear you or they’ll riot.
I don’t emulate consoles like ever but I don’t blame you since a lot of this stuff is hard to get!
@@Gadget-Walkmen Right? I haven't used an emulator in years (think the last time I used one was to play Megaman Battle Network 3) but I can absolutely see why people make and use these things. I also believe preserving games is important! Sometimes a developer will re-release, remake, or remaster a game, but obviously this isn't always the case.
Sometimes, you just want to play a Fire Emblem game on the Gamecube, but aren't a gardcore collector willing to dish out hundreds of dollars. It's perfectly reasonable to do that, especially when it has not been officially re-released.
I haven't used unofficial emulation because I don't like it.
I'm from South East Asia, and I can confirm that majority of the people here play pirated games on Nintendo Systems.
I have seen multiple friends having Nintendo DS using R4 cards, and back when my dad bought the Wii it came with homebrew to play copied games pre-installed. Nowadays I think people just play free games on Android/iOS.
Funny. I'm from south east Europe and we do the same!🤯🤣💯🇲🇪
As much as I would love to buy physical GameCube discs, it's a lot easier to just pirate the games and play them on the GameCube through Swiss. Physical GameCube discs are only going to increase in value as time goes on due to the high demand and low supply.
Yeah good choice on your part. Especially since Nintendo ain’t re releasing them. Those scumbags. They were a better company in the 90s-early 2000s then dipped.
I started game collecting like 3 or 4 years ago and the gamecube games are among the worse to collect for sure. High ass prices that arent gonna get any lower and Nintendo for some odd reason refuses to rerelease certain games. Look how long it took for Super Mario Sunshine to get a rerelease. Fuck what they say about emulation, I cant spend 100$+ right now to play Paper Mario 1000 year door
@@bradlieone exactly. I’m perfectly happy emulating it on my laptop. Fuck that
There's nothing wrong with pirating old Nintendo games when they aren't available to buy from Nintendo
how do you do that? whats swiss?
Surprised there was no mention of GCLoader ODE
That thing is amazing.
@@flaminashes4693 Genuine question, why do people prefer the GCLoader over the SD-to-SP?

@@carrotmaster8521 the New 3DS cannot run most PS1 games perfectly and unfortunately most non-3DS games on the system look like ass because of scaling issues. The Vita is the ultimate portable emulation machine, but the Switch will surpass it I'm sure.

@@HIGH_DEFINITION_VIDEO what does that mean?
It sucks that emulators and modded scenes just allows you to enhance the games and its experience way more but they are still seen as morally dubious. The fact that gamecube sales were low because they were so difficult to mod initially says it all. Without piracy, so many games would be lost to the sands of time. In 10 years, I imagine Dolphin emulators would be the only way to enjoy any gamecube games. Nintendo seems just hellbent on never re-releasing any GC games.
It's lousy that the GameCube had such lackluster widescreen support. The only game I own that supports it correctly is Soul Calibur II, whereas Resident Evil 4 only does anoramic and Twilight Princess could have had it just like the Wii version, but Nintendo chose to leave it out. SMH...
Gamecube is best played on standard 4:3 Crt TVs, the image looks far better and has much less lag than on modern widescreen TVs. After all when the Gamecube was released those Crt TVs were the norm.
@@TheRealBatabii of course not, hence why it wasn't a feature in the GC
I guess I'm in the minority, because I've had the component cables since the mid-2000s (which aren't necessary for widescreen) and going back to the GameCube with a modern TV is kinda weird because just about everything on it is in 4:3. Point is, it was doable on the GameCube, but developers for the most part just didn't do it.
@@looeegee gamecube is best played with Dolphin
@@koffing2073 No it isn't, it has bugs and slow downs from time to time, even though some games might look really good in Hi res and widescreen you're still better off playing gcn with a real GameCube or Wii
I know jack about how any of the modding is done, but the things that these modders are able to do are crazy interesting nonetheless.
I also have to applaud the Dolphin dev team. I think out of the three consoles of the era, GameCube emulation is leaps and bounds ahead of the PS2 (the clock speed harmony between it's modules was and maybe still is a nightmare) and the OG Xbox (haven't kept up the the Xbox lately, all I know is one attempt at Xbox emulation is rewriting the game files to be Windows executable files).
Its amazing to me that there is still people hard at work tinkering and modding software as well as hardware to achieve feats that we could only dream of back in the day 😶
It was very fun to mess around with the GCM loaders from Starcube, Eurasia and Paradox (The PSO and Animal Crossing loaders were awesome!) and when the modchips later arrived everyone was like "thats it???" think the first Xeno had like 4 soldering points and then you had to get your hand on mini DVDs! That was fun, and later there came replacement top shells to replace the standard one. Swiss, with emu_kidid at the helm has really flourished long after the Gamecube wasn't in the spotlight.
1:26 how did you get over a million? The most I can get the price up was 1,000$.
They meant 500k
it was probably meant to be 500 thousand gbp
I have a slight feeling this might get re-uploaded with the whole 500 quid being 1 000 000 dollars.
See you on Mother’s Day

@@MyDecade actually same hahahahah
By who.you?
Please don’t give them ideas to post another conspiracy video
I rarely seen people who pirate games just because they felt like it, almost everyone who pirates wouldn't be able to buy any games in official ways. The most common story is: they are introduced to gaming by piracy, and then buy merch or the real games when they can.
I doubt the games industry would be nearly as big today if there were no illegal copies in humble families or regions with no official releases.
I like your guys' videos, as I'm a big Nintendo fan myself, but I wish you guys would do more Sony and MS related content.
It's so interesting. The fans mod and tinker with hard/software, making it better than Nintendo ever intended it to be, while Nintendo moves on and never looks back. It's sad though, because Nintendo only seems to look back in cease and desist anger when someone's trying to replay their old games via emulator, or simply listen to the music from their older games on YT.
It's crazy. Like, I have two Switches. One is completely stock, one has CFW. And the CFW Switch can do so much more, like remotely streaming games from my PC or unlocking the console for handheld.
@@markfuston2714 do you use Atmosphere?
Love the pirate themed game tracks in the background haha
I never thought I'd hear about Staffordshire in a Did you know gaming video.
How SWISS cheesed the Gamecube...
It's always interesting what kind of clever solutions companies try to come up with to combat piracy. It will eventually fall but that doesn't make it less fun or interesting to hear what they tried and how effective it was. But more so for older consoles like the PS2(?) using a wavy disc pattern + Disc Reader to make the disc's hard to replicate. Modern consoles however I find a little less interesting since its mostly just obnoxiously tough coding (There are still some interesting examples though)
Well, it's true that piracy made me buy a gba last month!
Piracy on the wii was phenomenal, it was so easy to play all the gamecube games i missed
The adapter is pretty expensive now too. I love PSO I'd love to stream it sometime again too!
Same. Except the streaming part.
Later issues of Cube magazine included bonus GameCube discs by Datel which featured samples of Action Replay codes and Freeloader for specific games.
seeing that decked out PSO character just made me wanna boot my gamecube back up and grind for the Sealed J-Sword, accomplish what childhood me never could
I can't stop rewinding the first 10 seconds of this 🤣🤣

I don’t know what half the words in this episode meant, but I was kept pretty entertained the whole way through
get bent
That very first factoid was just… wrong. I was running GameCube games without the original disc in 2003… 3 years before the Wii. It started with using Phantasy Star Online to load Animal Crossing and other games and chips like TMBINC’s IPL replacement for Linux. It then moved on to the ViperGC with Cobra BIOS (IPL mod) followed by Anaconda DOL (extracted Cobra) installed on a memory card and executed with Samson’s AR Loader (bootstraps from memory card using an Action Replay). From there, we got competing IPL mods like Qoob SX and Pro, then drive chips like XenoGC, then Compact Flash/IDE optical drive emulator like Crazy Nation’s design. Eventually we got loader discs like Datel’s SD Media Launcher which is what we were already doing with Action Replay anyway. Later in the Wii’s life the GameCube got adapted Wii ODEs like WASP followed by today’s options like SP2SP2, GCLoader, and NickDisc + drive mod.
One way you know that premise was incorrect is because the Wii’s early piracy was largely enabled by WiiKey and Cyclone, which were essentially identical to XenoGC (Atmel chip). Obviously, Xeno GC was available on GC before Wii existed. Piracy was low for the same reason sales were low in regions where piracy doesn’t factor as much: It was low because fewer people were interested in it. It really is that simple. Pirates often make the opposite claim in order to justify or rationalize what they do. Don’t fall for it.
As for Datel, they actually paid Panasonic for the tech to produce GC discs and used a header from NHL Hitz 2003 so that Nintendo would have to block a real game to block theirs. Nintendo eventually DID block Hitz ‘03 on the Wii after Datel started selling Freeloaders and SD Media Launcher for it.
SD memory card adapters were not “custom.” Most were just cheap third-party copies of Nintendo’s official SD card adapter that they developed with Panasonic and sold in Japan (mostly for Animal Crossing).
I was there in the scene.
Did you know that a Home Brewed Gamecube app called "GCars-CS" or "Gamecube Action Replay Simulator - Controller Simulator" allowed multiplayer games such as Smash Bros Melee to be played Online? Using Pso's back door, loading GCARS-CS with the "Action Replay" codes for the game you're playing online (Smash, Soul Calibur 2, a few others) with 1 person being the host while the other connects via a non-connected second controller.
Great informative video! If Nintendo won't adequately preserve their old games for future generations, what choice do we have other than to learn to do it ourselves! :)
I just had a game for my gamecube, the ICE age 2 game, then i got a gc loader for my gamecube, so now a have all the games that i always wanted to play back then when i was a kid.
I remember the first time I tried to use a gamecube ISO, my wii disc drive had just broken and I figured it'd be like booting up a ROM. Eventually added homebrew and just made it run discless lol.
Thank you Fizzy, Slippi is the best thing ever
Great seeing the Fizzi shout-out!

500GBP in the 2000s = over 1 million in USD today? What? Am i misunderstanding or did they misspeak
Yeah that ain't right lmao
Think they meant 500,000, which would come out to about one million USD after inflation and conversion
Just did the calculations. 500 GBP in 2005 is about $960 us dollars in 2021
I really like those retro stories!
With how ridiculous Gamecube prices are nowadays with both hardware and software a video like this comes at exactly the right time.
Ngl, I had to rewind the 500 British pounds bit to make sure I'd heard it right
Same here
Been clarified he meant 500k but caught me off guard too

Regarding the poor performance of the console in some regions, it could also have to do with the fact that Nintendo doesn't manufacture their games locally as often as other companies. Nintendo consoles are a rarity here in Brazil ever since the N64 generation because all the manufacturing happens overseas, so both consoles and games are insanely expensive compared to Xbox and Playstation products, which have always been manufactured here.
TekToy to the rescue
Up until the Switch, Nintendo consoles have been a rarity or in some cases never even existed in Malaysia. Most people have never even heard of Nintendo, let alone their games or consoles, in most parts of Malaysia until very recently in the past 4 or 5 years. Heck, you'd find more Kinects than a Wii or 3DS in most game stores even now. You can even still find unopened PS2s and Xbox 360s still on sale for cheaper prices.
@@user-hk5fo1nm9h tec toy (with "C", not "K") only sell (up to this day) Sega related stuff. the only company who represented Nintendo, here in Brazil, was "Gradiente" (back in the 90's), and they never did a good job, to begin with.

As a southeast Asian, I never saw anyone own a GameCube rather than my classmate. I remember he brought his GameCube to play Melee and I became the prince of melee in my school. He even thanked me for unlocking Roy and Marth since he hadn't touched melee for 15 years.
YO DOLPHIN TRIFORCE??? Damn I've wanted to get back to those old arcade games again, i should try it out
Pso loader cant be overstated. One of the more interesting exploits I have ever seen.
as someone who lives in SEA piracy is very rampant to where you could literally just go to a mall where 1 store sells the legitimate copy of game and few stores down you'll see the pirated version with some even outright displaying in front of the store and some of these stores that sell legitimate copies of games offer to hack your system and for a set price of course, and will even offer to put games that are probably pirated or ripped from their own shelves or maybe just downloaded off the internet on the hacked console for set price and nothing is really been done about it, at least in the country where i live. its hilarious to see people pay for pirated games that some pirated retailer just downloaded of the internet and burned it to a cd
Is paper mario playing natively on a GC in this video? Looks absolutely stunning.
I remember having my GC pirated, you could buy one game per dollar and it was somehow expensive to get your console to play pirated games, I think the price for the special optic laser was around 90 dollars back then.
