The fact that this doesn't need a competitive price point and yet it does, is absolutely insane. I love the retro modding community so god damn much.

[Lenmaer]

You don't need the LaserBear SD Card Extension mod anymore. This will allow you to save $25.
Check the custom back panel they gave you.
There's now also a hole there (inside, under the ethernet hole) that allows you to use a normal micro-SD card extender cable, and a screw hole to attach it.
You can see it at 4min28s and 4min42s in your video.

[alexschmeling]

The fact that they made it to where you can ORGANIZE your games post setup is my favorite new feature

[themacintoshnerd]

Thank god for this. I’ve been wanting ODEs that let you keep the optical drive since forever.

[koozmusic]

Wow... integrating the SD card reader into the power light diffuser is GENIUS!

[ians_parks]

Appreciate that they included Swiss for those who prefer it but I got to say Cubeboot looks very enticing. I like when my modded systems still feel relatively stock. Which is why I'm also glad the rolling text at start up was sorted as well.

Edit: I noticed they have since changed the disc art to squished memory card banners when selecting games via cubeboot. I hope this isn't final. Otherwise it looks great.

[JordonVW]

Don't have a gamecube myself but this sets a pretty high standard of no solder and easily reversible hardware console modifications. If this is the future of console modding we're in for a treat!

[HKT-]

if they integrate the ripping and use of the actual disc drive into the custom menu and make it so the box banners use the memory card icons instead of the squeezed disc banner icons i'm getting one for sure, the software side seems to be the beginning of what could be the endgame for Gamecube. They will definantly get there i think, but right now i think having to boot into the text menu to get to 2 features a lot of people might want to get this thing for in the first place ruins it a bit for some use cases. the whole software side seems to have hooked into the original OS so well, but it looks like it's 70% of the way there towards being the best thing ever.

[Mobik_]

This may be the best Mod for the Gamecube ever! Not only because pretty much anyone can do it but also because it requires almost no knowledge and allows you to play your original games from any region. Amazing!

[dreamcastk]

I love mods that addons to the system/OS! It feels so great that it feels so close to retail and not so weird looking

[TheAceWolfe]

I wasn't super excited about this before.. But now it seems like the best solution out there.
.. once they get virtual memory cards sorted out.

[kazinwho]

Wild how much they packed in to this thing. I have the bluetooth functionality from Laser Bear and a MemCard Pro GC and picoboot so I'm all set, but this would have been nice!

Man, though, do we need a Gamecube bluetooth controller mod. As in, modding original Gamecube controllers to be bluetooth. I want to use my spice orange Gamecube controller wirelessly so bad!

[wivxmec]

Funny story with my flippydrive order, I literally joined the discord like 10 minutes before they opened the pre-order. Made it such a funny few hours panicking trying to buy one before 1000 orders but I barely made it! Can't wait to try this and mod the best console put there

[RogueViirus]

Fantastic option for those not wanting to do the soldering needed for a picoboot. The cubeboot menu is pretty enticing too. Maybe if I ever mod another cube I'll run this instead.

[thefray]

I pre-ordered 2 and will be putting one in my personal gamecube. One of the best mods in the scene yet. Well done guys! I won't be able to contain my excitement until January when they ship.

[truealchiemist]

I'm super stoked. As soon as I got that email I preordered the Deluxe kit. ETA is January 29th ship date. So worth it.

[windwakin]

This really is becoming the definitive GameCube mod, supports just about everything I’d want AND THEN SOME!

[Jfunkey]

Happy to say mine ships November 30th. Thanks to you and the Flippy Team for one hell of a ride!

[ZizoMass]

Awesome video as always! I can't wait to sollutions like this to also be available to other consoles, like the PS2, Dreamcast and XBC!
Just a tiny suggestion: when showing the UI, it might be helpful to avoid adding video effects over it, especially if it's within the screen borders. Sometimes it makes it a little tricky to tell what's part of the actual software and what's a video effect. Keep up the great work!

[sinandpunishment]

I am completely blown away that you didn’t mention the compatibility with the Panasonic Q.
