FlippyDrive FIRST LOOK! Solderless Modchip For GameCube! #piday #raspberrypi

Tiny optical drive emulator for the GameCube that lets you play games from an sd card. A custom pcb featuring a RP2040 chip. One particularly clever aspect is the origami-like ribbon cable used for installation.

FlippyDrive is the creation of ChrisPVille and Trevor Rudolph.

The Gamecube just got an all new Optical Drive Emulator, and it’s called the Flippy Drive! It’s unlike any optical drive emulator we’ve seen before because usually an ODE will replace the optical drive. In the case of the Flippy Drive, you can keep it! So you can play both your physical library of games and load them off of an SD card. Additionally instead of using Swiss, the team developed their own custom software called Cube Boot which has a User Interface with a beautiful looking aesthetic, almost like Nintnedo designed it themselves! Anyway, let’s take a look!
