My cable arrived yesterday and I'm very certain that those are original Nintendo cables: They have triwing-screws, the soldering looks decent, there's the same IC in them and it even had the plastic bag tube. As cheap as that last one may sound, "lots and lots of transparent plastic bag tubes"...

I'd love to open my cable and take a look - but unfortunately, it hasn't arrived yet. I also think I still have an original cable so I could compare them. For some reason the seller also offers bundles of 10 or even >50 of these cables. Either there really is a new production site (seems...

Sorry for not remembering this earlier. It really has been a long time but this was the main reason for ordering the 4-player-cables. I hoped to get at least two usable plugs but found myself with four of them. To be sure that the cable is not usable, you could check the other part for whether...

Colors can be different from cable to cable. So don't worry too much if those wire colors don't match any from a given other cable. I remembered something else about this cable stuff (it's been a long time. Sorry for not thinking about this, earlier): The connection between GBA and Gamecube...

I guess you could.. but I always considered wiring to the pads easier than soldering wires together, using shrinking tube etc. I think your best choice is to take an ohm-meter (or anything else that beeps when the testing pins are electrically connected) and then check with the pins on the...

The cable should be exactly the same at any point between the connectors. Usually I try to cut in the middle, so I have two parts with equally long cable. AFAIR I checked the wiring and it's not just a passthrough (allowing to link to another GBA or to the cube without taking off the plug...

The main stuff is the same in my guide and in the one from Troz1820 - after all, he started my interest in that stuff. I only started trying other stuff as those "original" cables are becoming rare and always have been expensive (the GBM-link cables as well as the GBA-Cube-cables). As most...

As off now, I got any GBA->GC-cable to work with micro as well. Also I don't use the official Nintendo Gameboy Micro link cables. I still don't know why none of the commercial GBA->GC-adapters does this, but it seems like all of them can work with 3.3V from Gamecube instead of using the GBAs...

Hello again, I've asked. International shipping is 4 Eur (and I'm rather surprised. I expected it to be worse) So if there really is noone building this cables and being located nearer to the USA, I could send you such a cable. Greetings, TCC

What do you mean with "international"? USA? When I send the other cables, I'll have to ask my post office. Still I think that anything out of europe might get rather expensive. Also I think that in that case there are people living closer to you, so it'd be better asking them. Greetings, TCC

Any of those cables or any of those GBMs? The funny thing is... I bought two of those GBMs for a friend because we weren't sure, if they'd stay in the shelves until he visits the store. They're still here because he hasn't paid and taken them, yet. Two of those cables actually are (like)...

Hi there, just wanted to mention two things: I built some more cables today and I found out that my shipment of the "Dragon" 4player-cables available at Play-Asia had a different wire coloring than the MadCatz one. Shield: black 2: white 3: brown 4: yellow 5: red 6: blue Also I always...

To be honest.. I didn't really try to make this webpage "dummy"-proof. I hope that the reader is able to take apart things, knows how to solder and how to trace wires. You might get aroung tracing the wires if you have the same wire coloring in the cables as some other people, still you should...

I admit, I still believe that there is reason why none of the professional manufacturers tried powering the cables from GameCube side. I just can't believe that I was the first one to try it. I use the Play-Asia-cables for building Cube-GBM-cables (bridging the Cube Power to where GBM-Power...

General: (no advertisement) I updated the page with some more pictures and connection infos. I also found out how to take clean short-distance photos so some pictures look much better now. Troz: The BigBen-circuit-board now has a much cleaner picture. I believe they are almost identical to the...
