@Kimyonaakuma & @wazlon The Wii is a great option for playing Gamecube games because it's a lot easier to get component cables for it! They allow you to play the games in 480p instead of 480i that the regular composite cables are able to show. In addition to component cables making the image quality cleaner, 480p (progressive scan) is much more compatible with HD and UHD televisions! Trying to play in 480i (interlaced) usually results in image artifacts and more importantly lot of latency since the TV is forced to de-interlace the image.
I have two Gamecubes with my original one having a broken optical drive. I would like to install GC Loader in its place, but it seems to be perpetually out of stock ~
I love it! That’s actually innovative and the simplicity and pocketability is very appealing.
If I didn’t have to pay $150 plus postage, taxes and whatnot, I’d love to try it. Teenage Engineering being part of the production explains why it’s so expensive. They make extremely high quality products in a super compact form factor.

@gaga64 #15 ”Wait, these announcements came through an Instagram post? Is that really how businesses work these days?”
Yeah, I agree that it feels very unprofessional! Kinda shady too.

Re: Hardware Review: Cyber Gadget Retro Freak
@Pigumon Oh, that's neat!
I wonder if you can get adapters for NES and Mega Drive too.
EDIT: Ah, it seems most all USB adapters will work. The pack-in pad doesn't seem all too bad either.
Re: Hardware Review: Cyber Gadget Retro Freak
The lack of original controller ports is really off-putting.
