kizu Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 My exchange student sent a GC Deluxe from Japan to me in teh US and I found out if didn't work after all. It would play her Cds from Japan but it wouldn't play my GC games I got for Christmas. And I remember hearing the a mod chip might be able to fix that. So I was wondering if that would fix it. And where I could get my hands on a mod chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kizu Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 Thanks, but I don't think I will find a GC mod chip for some time. Letme know if oyu do see one though. I realy need one that will allow my GC Deluxe to reconize my American games and DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Well I know that [url]http://modchips.fbibbes.com[/url] have GameCube mod chips. But the reason that you can't find them in stares very often is because the GameCube has just been released, and the mod chips are being made for it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizu Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 Yeah I hope that they hurry. I have 2 GC games (pikmin and ssbm) and 39 dvds waiting to be played on it. As is now mom exchange students mom just bought an expencive portable Cd player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizu Posted December 27, 2001 Author Share Posted December 27, 2001 I was wanting to know if anyone knew a place to get a Game Cube Deluxe mod chip. I had it sent from Japan and it doesn't play American disk. So I think I needa mod chip to fix that problem. But I don't even think they hav Game Cube Deluxe mod chips out on the market yet. So would someone please tell me if they come out with a Game Cube Deluxe mod chip. And where to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kizu Posted December 27, 2001 Author Share Posted December 27, 2001 Hey Rico the Panasonic Q thing is what I have. And what do I need then for it to play my American Software if I don't need a mod chip. And I already have it so I can't just order one that has been fixed. So what do I do. Just wait until they come out with mod chips or another kind of chip that will translate it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to get your Q modified (chipped) by someone in America. You'd probably have to go to some backyard, underground dude tho lol...I don't know if you can send your Q in to an actual company or anything. 2. Sell your Q on Ebay and use the money to buy an American GameCube. 3. Import Japanese games for the rest of your life. That's just about all you can do, really. I suggest that you sell your Q on Ebay or privately...you may even receive enough money to buy an American GCN and a game as well :)[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizu Posted January 2, 2002 Author Share Posted January 2, 2002 James I found something else out about this. What the problem is that the disk Spin at differnent speeds. But the language problem is not a problem. We found a menu that will let you change every thing to english. But the disk still spin in a different speed. So I need to find a way to fix that.

kizu Posted January 23, 2002 Author Share Posted January 23, 2002 My Q is no longer an 500 paper weight!!!:D :D :D Or well it won't be less than a week. I am sending it to Maryland and a company will mod it and send it back the very next day. I will cost about $40 plus shipping and handdling. So if I spend another $60 I will be able to play my Q. I think I will do the 2 day shipping on it. And it takes about 30 min to install the mod chip. So after I do that I will have spent a grand total of about $500 the console 2500 yen for the sencond controller 4810 yen for the adapter (to change the wattage) $180 shipping $100 2 games $60 mod chip A little estimate conversions 2500/110= about $23 4810/110= about $44 so my grand total for my Q is over $900 (this includes the 2 games) So I have made a pretty good sized investment here if I do say so myself. over $900 for a game system. I could have bought almost 4 normal GC for that price. I thikn I have quite an investment here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuja Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 [SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]i think you have a peice of crap to be honest... you have a $200 system, $100 game... ill admit you got a deal on the controler thou since they are $35 here, but you end up paying like $550 for a DVD player... while panasonic is a great brand but even there top of the line at target isnt over $250...[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizu Posted January 24, 2002 Author Share Posted January 24, 2002 I would have to agree Kuja. But my brother thought that instead of getting a regular GC to get a Panasonic Q because it has a DVD (even though I already have a DVD player) player. I just wanted a GC. My only problem now is that instead of sending my GC there my brother will do it himself because he just needs a switch from Radio Shack (he works there). But we can't find a installing page so that he doesn't know how to put the switch inplace. So we are in a but of trouble. So like normal I am asking for the wise people of Otaku to help he out and find a page that tells you how to install a "mod chip" in a Panasonic Q.

Kuja Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 [SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]it is really really ez... you sell it online and buy a GCN from america![/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomby Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Kizu, you can't save American and Japanese games on the same memory card. Here's a link that translates the remote that you might find useful. [url]http://www.lik-sang.com/catalog/news.php?artc=2476[/url] Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizu Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 That site, taht is where we found out how to fix it. We were told that we can find how to fix it by going that and so we did and got it fixed. But thats anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomby Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 You can save Japanese games on American memory cards. You just can't save Japanese and American games on the same memory card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
