Addon board for the Gamecube that allows using USB PD power adapters instead of the stock game cube power adapter

by HDR / Martin Refseth

GC_PD Install Guide

Unscrew the 4 4.5mm Gamebit screws and pull the top cover off

Flip the top cover over

Insert the printed power button spacer rod and give it a good push to make sure it can't fall out, you will most likely have to trim the spacer rod with flush cutters to get a good button feel (Not required on kits from Retro Game Repair Shop)

Pull the backplate towards you and up to remove it

Unplug the two connectors, then remove the PH1 screw

Optional (But recommended): For a better fit, trim part of the plastic bracket

Put the GC_PD where the old power board was, screw it into place and then plug in the connectors

Reinstall the backplate and reassemble the console. Slight loosening of the GC_PD board screw may help ease reassembly.

PSA

From: Kevin Lam @kevinlam86660

Leave a little wiggle room when assembling your NGC shell with the USB-C mod installed. If you assemble it with too tightly, then the power button will not rest properly and the system will not recognize the switch to be in the "ON" state. Just experienced this with 2 different installs. Possibly due to 3D printed power button extension/insert being a touch too long. Mod will work, just may require some looser assembly to ensure functionality!

Power Notes

Please make sure you install the rod properly! If you do not, you will run into fitment issues when trying to close the shell!

Requires a PD Adapter capable of supplying 12v @ 3A, Not all PD adapters support this please check that yours does before making a purchase.
