Hi, sorry I have searched the web, and I am really wanting to get a premodded ntsc GC with the viper extreme and a moded case for normal sized dvd's. does anyone have any suggestions on where to or not to buy one? I haven't even found a prmod with the viper extreme yet.
To my surprise, I couldn't find a site that says they do it. The only ones I could find in terms of premods were the original Viper GC and both versions of the Qoob. All I can suggest is that you try e-mailing the sites that offer premods for the other GC chips and see if they're willing to install the Viper GC Extreme. Since you're looking for an NTSC GameCube, here's a couple sites you might want to check out. http://www.modchipman.com/ http://www.modchipworld.com/
Venom, Thanks suprising as it may be I have emailed them and no reply yet. That was 3 days ago. Wow I really don't wanna buy one and mod it myself. I do have a good one thats my kids. But I may end up trying. Although I have seen people fry them.
Well there goes that idea... Anyway, if do decide to install it yourself, get a good low wattage soldering iron with some rosin core solder and you should be fine. Practice soldering on old busted equipment first if you have any. Also, the reason people fry them is because they're applying too much heat. Using a low wattage iron should give you little more leeway, but you should still practice a bit beforehand to make sure you have the hang of it. It really doesn't take much heat or solder to make a good solder joint. After looking at the solder points, I can honestly say that it's looks pretty easy to solder in place, and that the hardest part would actually be getting everything else set up. The most troublesome solder point is the one on the IC chip, and as long as your careful it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Venom5880, I may have to buy a cube and all the components and do it myself. It is kind of aggravating that I either get no response or they won't build them.
Jaxjapan, if you're still interested let me know. I just modded mine with the viper extreme that I purchased from modchipman. The only reason why I'm interested in selling mine is that I wanted to get a GC with a digital out and this new GC doesn't have one. Only the old ones (remanufactured from Nintendo) have them now. Let me know. PM me
