My wife hates the amount of electronics I buy...she would go mental if I were like you
One of my discord members gave me a free pad to compliment my gears console...
Such a great little repair community out there. I didn't even ask they were just like " I'm sending you the perfect pad to compliment that machine", it's not the £80 gears pad but it's a perfect fit for the machine.
It's got to go though, I loved fixing this one but I think now it's got a pad it's ready for a new home.
This is what I like most about it...

My wife doesn't care in fact she encourages it most of the time. Sometimes when I finish a machine that I like she pays me not to sell it, there are probably 10 machines in my collection she paid me not to sell. Oh and she carried on bidding when I stopped on my saturn, she didnt want to see me not have it so she paid for that as well which is good because i stopped bidding at about 200! Every now and again she points at one of them and is like "that one is mine I paid for that"...
Even when I bought a broken machine that wouldnt turn on for £400 she didn't blink an eye.. not phased at all by it.
I'm sure she just let's me get on with it for a quiet life.

Possibly you could use the same technique used for old computers:
Retrobright - Wikipedia
but depends entirely on what sort of plastic it is
Transparent purple is defintely the winning colour. Looking forward to seeing your Gamecube. I keep being tempted by the Gamecube but I've got a Wii that plays GC games and a SteamDeck too so I don't need one. Do I?Some toys came in...
If I'm not too busy tonight I might have to just build it!! Went with picoboot for some added fun.

It's done...
Images will appear above here at some point... image host is clearly having some issues.
Went with a picoboot mod for additional fun factor in the build.

I have a Gamecube with a Xeno XC modchip, and use an SD card via the port underneath via a little adaptor.
I use the drive to boot an out of date Swiss, which then boots a newer version from the SD card.
Does the Picoboot install achieve the same thing just without the need for the optical drive at all?

boots directly into swiss. no messing about. you can use port or an sd adapter in the memory card slot like I am.
Yea you can, some peroxide and the sun...

Actually I’ve just realised I bought a Wii when they came out. Need to dig it out see if it still works. Need to see what the mod world can offer for them!
