Great Video, Try not to completely fold flex cables, if they get folded enough, there is a chance there will be a break in the connection within the cable
This is really cool, but I think the better solution is to buy a 001 model. Cause not only do you have both of the ports instead of simply switching one, but also, the kit and labor costs is probably the same as selling a 101 and then buying a 001 model console. This is still really cool though, keep up the good work!
I was playing on my modded GC the other day. I fitted a clear purple full size disc case from HK's Lik-Sang, its got a "jolly roger" mod chip and I even fitted a selection of UV and coloured LED's inside so it glows furiously when on. It isn't a bad machine considering its age and the only game I ever play is Skies of Arcadia although my youngest still runs her Sonic 2 Chao.
10:02 -- when soldering the flex to this chip, does it matter that the board has lead-free solder? I saw Long Island Retro use lead-free in his video for this step, but all the others I've seen don't mention it. Just curious about your take.
I think it matters a little, because it makes it a little harder, but the idea is you can tin the pins with leaded solder first, which "waters down" the lead-free solder with leaded solder to make it a little easier
very nice mod. Another method. , I sent to a modder in China, he used a compatible NTSC RGB encoder and rgb amp to restore GC RGB signals. This way can keep composite, s-video and add RGBs signals. The RGBs can output 480p singals with ossc, gbsc and retrotink 5x on my IPS screen. The picture quality is slightly better then official or GCVideo component cable.
@@dubesinhower check the Taobao seller JAMMA, there is some mod service including the GC console DOL 001 and 101 rgbs mod. users need to send to main board to China or buy the specal chip.

That's basically what I'm going to say 😅. Not that's not a cool mod, it's really great, but yeah, is way more easy to buy a DOL 001 than mod a DOL 101. Dol 101 have is own charm, and it's really great for CRT set up. + The PAL GameCube support RGB video, so a DOL 101 EUR with a GC Player and Gameboy Interface is a awesome combo for a Game Boy Set Up on CRT/PVM/Upscalers.
If you can afford it, the Hakko FR 301 is what I use. I don't actually own this one, but if you're looking for something less expensive, I've been recommending this one: www.aliexpress.com/item/32982282829.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.5305619d5cYbTO&algo_pvid=ea57f5f1-603b-4a3e-9fab-a1220894173f&algo_expid=ea57f5f1-603b-4a3e-9fab-a1220894173f-7&btsid=0b0a556b16163322815242831e6e6c&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
Tim, I have one of those cheap ZD-915 stations. They go by many brands, but all looks the same. It's functional & does a good job, haven't had any issues except for the occasional blockage (normal). Perfect if you only desolder components occasionally.
its nice and all but might just be easier to sell your gamecube for 40 and ( pretend to buy this kit for 40 ) and get a gc with digital built in for 80
do you still need to use the audio jack even if your using the Carby? Like can I do this mod and plugin the carby and im good to go or do you only get sound if you use the audio jack?
Unfortunately I don't have this GameCube anymore, so I can't test that, but I don't think you need to use the analog audio port if you are using the Carby. I believe the audio jack is for use with official component cables, since these cables don't include audio cables
Hmm, 101s don't have a digital AV port, maybe someone replaced 001 the shell with a 101 shell, if it says that on the bottom. The shells are pretty much interchangeable, the only thing different is the back panel which you can switch out.
@@dpacyau the shells are not easily interchangeable. Even after cutting plastic to make it fit, you have to add washers to not warp the case when you tighten the bolts.
Really cool video! Thanks for doing these! I'd rather try finding a DOL-001 before I do this mod though :D The GameCube has sooooo many screws, and the install is also quite some workload. But it's super cool, that there's a way to "fix" DOL-101s now.

Superb video and wonderful walk through.
Thanks for the support!

No problem, hope it helps

The link to this kit is down. Is it still possible to do this?
Bump, looking for one of these mods too. Thanks!

That is interesting, do you have any more information on that mod?
Do you have more info? Contact email or web?

Is there a new link to but the flex cable ?
Do you know where I can buy one? They are out of stock on his website.
Moral of the story get a gamecube with a digital output

I agree, I did this mod for a friend who wanted to upgrade his childhood console
If he's got the mad skillz to do this, let 'em. I don't!
The song was dope when you was opening the GC. Can I get the name or artist?
All my music comes from Harris Heller's StreamBeats. This song is "Play It Again, Sam" from the Lo-Fi album "Neko"

I have the 101 model and it has the digital av out. Which is weird I thought the 101 didn't have the digital

Does your dol 101 have an aux port
I like the Rad2X. Easy Peasy.
I wish this kid was still available so that I didn’t have to source, a 001
"Pre drill hole"
Pilot hole, my man. Otherwise, great video, thank you sharing!
I'm a software developer what do you expect xD
@@dubesinhower no one cares, only cry baby does.
Do you know where I can find a kit? It’s sold out and it looks like it’s not being made anymore.
Castlemania Games seems to have them in stock now.
Hey can I get the print files? I am going to do this but I need it a white clear print
I only have the drill block files
Wish this went straight to HDMI.
yeah i cant do this
Lol that’s fair

It's called GameCube because there's 64 screws.
...Wait, wrong Nintendo system.
Maybe he had sentimental value for the 101 and thats why he didnt het a 001
..music please
7:26 delicious
