Pixel FX, known for their wide range of HDMI solutions, has now introduced an internal adapter that brings HDMI to the GameCube.
What Does This Mean For GameCube Enthusiasts?
The GEM adapter preserves your GameCube’s clean, boxy design by integrating internally, unlike the external adapters offered by other companies.
To install the GEM mod, users will need to be comfortable with soldering and DIY electronics due to its invasive nature. However, once installed, it promises clearer and crisper visuals that can significantly enhance the viewing experience for GameCube owners without breaking their budgets.
Conclusion
The Pixel FX GEM mod is a valuable advancement for GameCube owners who wish to enjoy their games in higher definition and want a self-contained set-up. Some may even prefer the DIY challenge.
Do you think the Pixel FX GEM will set a new standard, or are there any other solutions that you prefer?
Haven’t installed it yet, waiting my new non yellowed shell to be delivered. I have an ad card ready to go though. Now I am really considering this addition. Might be a little wait.
I wouldn’t pay so much for hdmi when I can emulate at much higher resolutions, personally
Of course, if the goal is emulation then a PC is a better choice. My goal with this though is to use original hardware, with original discs. Sometimes pushing it to the highest quality it can offer, even with modifications. Playing the games in this case is the second half of the experience.
