Wei Yen, who had been SGI's head of Nintendo Operations, the department responsible for the Nintendo 64's fundamental architectural design. In 1997, a graphics hardware design company called ArtX was launched, staffed by twenty engineers who had previously worked at SGI on the design of the Nintendo 64's graphics hardware. Its successor, the Wii, was launched in November 2006. Nintendo sold 21.74 million GameCube units worldwide, much less than anticipated, before the console was discontinued in 2007. The console was praised for its controller, extensive software library and high-quality games, but was criticized for its exterior design and lack of features.

This allowed players to access features like the Tingle Tuner in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among others. The console supports limited online gaming for a small number of games via a GameCube broadband or modem adapter and can connect to a Game Boy Advance with a link cable, which allows players to access exclusive in-game features using the handheld as a second screen and controller like a Wii U. The discs are in a miniDVD- based format, but the system was not designed to play full-sized DVDs or audio CDs unlike its competitors, and mainly focused on gaming instead. The GameCube is the first Nintendo console to use optical discs as its primary storage medium. The GameCube competed with Sony's PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's Xbox. The GameCube was Nintendo's entry in the sixth generation of video game consoles and is the successor to the Nintendo 64. The Nintendo GameCube is a home video game console released by Nintendo in Japan on September 14, 2001, in North America on November 18, 2001, and in PAL territories in 2002.

I shortend two pillars where the motherboard was screwd in place. There is a metal part in the gamecube, i had to cut out, otherwise the wires where to long.

I placed mine down there, because there was no space next to the AV port. Where you mount your hdmi-board ist your choice. The length of my wires are around 7 cm and i have no issues. Keep the wires as short as possible, otherwise you will receive no image or a flickering picture. There are some pins connected to probe pads, I soldered my wires to those. If you don't have enough solder experience you could practice by soldering wires to a chip on an old motherboard for example. Soldering the wires between the board and the chip can be very annoying, make sure to use proper tools, small iron tip, very thin cables and flux.
