Nintendo GameCube Dev Unit at Goodwill?!? *56k and stretch*

HotDog-Cart · Post by **HotDog-Cart** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 4:56 am

Hmmm.. If it turns out to be broke (or some goddam prank by goodwill), I will try to get a SN-TDEV.

Heres some pics.
(Dont mind the USB connector. I had to solder a new one on)

Sorry for thr quality. My cam didnt charge right last night, and its early. (and taken in my bathroom)

Could just have a mod chip in it. Most GC mod chips have USB plugs.

What probably happened is that someone tried to mod it and fried it and decided to dump it at Good will

Doubt it:
It's brown (no browns sold as far as I know)
It had a "special" disk in it

Could you please turn the light on, put the unit on a table, back up, and take the pictures again? They're all dark and blurry. Can't see much...

You should at least have a flash...

Messing with the levels:

You might have a dev unit, but like others said you probably need more parts to do more with it than use it as a garden-variety Gamecube.

EDIT: If it's solid black then it may just be a normal console with a chip.

First he said it was black. And secondly that "special disk" can be a burned mini-DVD (yes they have them) with "Driver" written on it. Possibly the driver disc for a mod chip

Edit// From the light adjusted photo it looks like the handle was ripped off.

It could. But I have a suspicion it was a more "profecional" disk.

First you need to know how to spell professional and second I would guess it's just a gamecube with a modchip installed in it. So I say it isn't worth much but thats only my opinion.

If that spelling comment was pointed at me. I'm Dutch so excuse my grammar at times. I joined only one day later then you, so I thought you would already know this.

Well, the driver disc looks sorta professional. I just have to remember where I put it. Also, Like I said, I dont think the handle is ripped off. Unless someone sanded it down and smoothened it with bondo. But they'd have to work wonders to do that. Like, it looks PROFESSIONALLY done.

So yea, I dont think the handles ripped off.

Whoops!

That was a mistake on my part. I guess I don't really notice the location on the profile's that much. I actually wouldn't have known that you were dutch.

I still don't understand why some random guy would leave this at a goodwill.

An accident, perhaps?

I don't mean to be cruel, but those pictures are horrible >_<

Soon as your camera is done charging, shoot us up some better ones! We're all dying to settle this once and for all

Seriously, it seems like half of the people taking pictures here are taking them with 1G camera phones and blowing them up to wallpaper size.

Nice find, HDC.

Thanks skyone.

That was taken with my 3.1mp cam. The camera does NOT have a flash.
