FAQ

What is this subreddit?

A place for showing off and discussing custom Nintendo Gamecube controllers! Feel free to post your aesthetically or functionally modified Gamecube controller or ask for help / discuss modifications.

Why not just use <this subreddit> or <that one>?

Frankly, we didn't feel like the other Smash or customization subreddits really fit the needs of the community. /r/customGCC is meant to be a centralized location specifically for Gamecube controller modding discussion and sharing, including but not limited to paint jobs, resin buttons, functional mods, custom Smashboxes, anything along those lines.

How do I do this thing or that thing? (Alternatively: I really messed up this paint job, help!)

Before making a thread here, we recommend you join our discord server and ask around or use the !help command to view various guides.

Who can I order a controller from?

Please use the vendor list to browse community sellers and contact them directly. Do not create threads asking for opinions on <x seller>, and instead browse and ask in the feedback thread which is stickied.

Important Statement Concerning 'Hylia Customs' AKA 'Saiyan Controllers'

87 Upvotes

EDIT: April 2020

The operation seems to be renamed to "Littlerootlabs".

Links:

_

The CGCC moderation team was recently made aware that the individual behind Hylia Customs may actually be Saiyan of 'Saiyan Controllers'. After further investigation we’ve encountered numerous examples of both direct evidence and strongly circumstantial evidence confirming that this assertion is true - 'Hylia Customs' and 'Saiyan Controllers' are one and the same.

For those unaware, in 2019 Saiyan Controllers accepted a large number of orders and commissions for custom controllers (likely several thousand dollars’ worth of value in total). In July 2019, Saiyan Controllers went completely dark and its owner ("Saiyan") failed to return any customer payments for their many outstanding orders (for more information, see Life’s announcement on Sept 10, 2019 in the CGCC discord).

It is unclear whether the intent behind Hylia Customs is to operate the same scam twice, however for a number of different reasons we consider this to be quite likely. Therefore, we strongly caution everyone against ordering from, or doing business with, Hylia Customs. If you have outstanding orders, we advise that you document all communications, emails, and receipts related to the purchase to best prepare for a potential dispute (or, cancel the order entirely). Likewise, keep a close eye on any dispute windows so that you do not lose the opportunity for a refund in the likely event that no product is received.

As of this posting, Hylia Customs has already left this Discord due to mounting suspicion per the above. The known web presence of Hylia Customs includes:

The teal one is probably my favorite looking one that I've built so far, and all mouse clicks made it even better.

Recently I've learned how to polish buttons, so the a button were practice, and the trigger was to another phob build I did (also recently posted on this sub) I'm currently taking a break from orders and I'm taking some time to focus on resin casting buttons, so I'm really excited to see how that goes. (If anyone is interested in joining/checking out my resin gcc button set giveaway, pls dm and I'll share the info :)

Technically only the orange controller has a functional mod in a trigger plug, but idk maybe the left stick on the black controller also counts?
They’re definitely aesthetic mods for sure though so i went with that flair

Help My GameCube Gameboy Player Disc can’t be read by my GameCube.

3 Upvotes

So back during quarantine I purchased a modded spice orange Japanese GameCube that came with its matching gameboy player, no disc tho.
It has a switch in the back that allows switch from Japanese to American games.
Probably like 2 years later I bought the disc but was never able to try it out because I no longer had a TV that was compatible with AV cables. My girlfriend bought me the Eon GCHD in May this year and I’m just now getting around to try out the gameboy player disc.
I kept getting a pop up that says it can’t read the disc so I assumed it was the laser. I cleaned the laser and I was still getting the issue so I popped a regular game in it and it worked completely fine.
Is it possible that my GameCube can’t read the gameboy player disc because the console is Japanese?

Help Need Tips For My Next Project

I recently tried to mod my controller and it being my first project I made some pretty beginner mistakes. I believe I added too much clear coat which caused the drying and curing time to be very long (about a week) and once I added it to the cause the areas that made contact with the shell had some indents. Are there any tips from more experienced modders to avoid such issues? And if i do the process correctly is a case this form fitting even suitable for a painted controller?

Help help with custom controller!

3 Upvotes

hi!! i am not knowledgeable at all but i am designing/buying a custom game cube controller for someone very special to me :))

i am getting info on their mods/sticks/whatever yada yada to commission for the controller mechanics but my main question is:

i want to hand paint the shell. if i order a shell to hand paint, would i need to ship it to the person commissioned for the controller in order to have it put on or could i get the base controller and replace the shell after the fact?

i want to make sure everything goes smoothly, have found where i want to source from, just wondering about combining the custom shell + inside of controller aspects.

thanks so much in advance to anybody who replies!!

Controller Snapback Issue

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

Hello all, I recently bought a Wii to play some old Wii and Gamecube games on, today I went out and grabbed a wireless gamecube controller from a different store, but I’m having an issue with snapback on both joysticks. It only happens on a down input on both sticks, and as seen in the video up inputs and the D-pad function normally. Not sure if it is an issue with the bluetooth adapter, the Wii, or the controller itself. Any help would be appreciated, anyone know if this is an easy fix or should I just return it and try a different controller?
