Mario Kart 64 Gamecube!?

oh. Too bad. That sounded nice.

Although some people recommend to use wires for an easier install.

Also, I wonder why they made a GC disc of Occarina of Time, considering it's already available on the Collector's Edition Disc?

Version differences, maybe?

They'll probably be back in stock soon, I imagine. That's where I got mine from.

do you think that is the easiest to install?

I'm still wondering if maybe I could just soft-mod. I'd probably prefer to. Though it seems that Action Replay etc is more expensive than this thing.

Easiest Gamecube chip to install? I think so, not to mention the other outdated chips weren't as good (from what I read).

It's pretty easy to install for a novice, in my opinion. The hardest part is making sure you don't bridge a connection (there's two points on the chip where two connections are very close to each other). Take a look at this install pic...



Those red lines are what you have to solder. You can pretty much just touch some solder to the tip of the iron and then touch it to the points (as long as the flux didn't burn off, otherwise, add some flux to the contacts).

If you don't want to risk messing it up or something, I would say pick up the chip then have some one install it for you. And my preference is to have a hardmod over a softmod, but that's just me.

yeah the touch method is what I used to use. I haven't soldered anything in about 8 years. (I used to do a lot of circuit bending). I dont even have a soldering iron anymore.

Well, figure $20 for a cheap solder iron and a small quantity of solder and flux, or maybe about the same amount of money (if not more) to ship it to some one to do for you.

I can't picture me sending it out. I'm no pro, but I do enjoying tinkering with things. And I enjoy learning. If I soft-mod or hard-mod, I'll be doing it myself.
