Changes to the GameCube
 

If you were to redesign the GameCube, what changes would you make?

I'd probably implent a geforce 4, so you could play some extremely good movies/games with it (I'm talking about graphics, not gameplay).

maybe a built-in modem (although nintendo is working on a modem that will plug into the back) and more colors, since purple is kinda stupid.

dvd rom discs, not those shit small things...

but compared to the n64 cartriges, they hold 4x more. and they ARE DVD-ROMs; theyre mini DVD-ROMs.

there should be a way to transfer your files from your memory card to your computer via serial port 2. similar to the graph link for the TI83.

That would be ideal for emulator freaks, since they could copy all their save files to the PC then, and upload them somewhere. Maybe even sell them.

possibly... but it could be used to back up files incase ur mem card gets erased

You're right, but like I said, it would give the emulator gaming a major boost.

thats true. but the DEXDRIVE for n64 was the same thing.

Pc/gc connictivity. more rpgs....

what about the modem theyre working on?

There is a DVD player on some Gamecubes. Unfortunately, they are only sold in Japan..

Japan gets everything before us, except for online stuff.

I heard that the Gamecube could play DVDs if the CD tray was larger.

maybe because the gamecube discs are DVD-ROMs

i wish the blasted memory cards held more than 1mb...

actually they hold about 512 KB

Its quite AMAZING.

Note that this "Panasonic Q" costs about 200$ more. For that price, youd be better off just getting a normal cube, and then buying a 200$ dvd player beside it.
