The GameCube’s new USB era
Ever wish your GameCube had a little more… modern utility? Well, Makeo is officially making it happen with two new USB 2.0 adapters designed to turn your classic console into a networked powerhouse.
You can choose between a version that plugs into the SP1 port for a sleek, hidden look or one that sits in the memory card slot. While you could use these to boot homebrew from a simple thumb drive via Swiss, the real magic happens when you get ambitious.
By pairing these adapters with a USB Ethernet dongle, you can actually stream games directly from a RetroNAS server. Forget swapping discs or hunting for SD cards; if you set up the File Service Protocol (FSP), your GameCube can pull titles straight from your network. It’s basically “Netflix for retro gaming,” provided you have the technical setup to handle it.
The early tests are promising, with games loading nearly as fast as a physical disc. If you’re looking to declutter your media collection and give your old console some serious brainpower, this is the upgrade you didn’t know you needed.
