Introduction

Disclaimer

Disclaimer: This kit is for advanced installers only. Install at your own risk. We cannot be held responsible for damage to your console and/or kit.

Important Information

The kit is compatible with both DOL-001 and DOL-101

While the kit will work with the Panasonic Q its not outlined in the this guide. Make sure to grab Jesusburnsneon's [adapter] if you are doing a Q.

The doc assumes you are doing a no cut (Replace analog or digital port) installation in your GameCube.

If you are upgrading an existing GCDual or other installation and wanting to do the case cut you will need the 3D printed spacer to mount.

Blueshell3D has created a very nice [printed backplate] that allows for full-size HDMI in the GCDual cut location. This is a great option for people wanting to keep both ports while keeping full size HDMI at the same time.
