Last year the FlippyDrive was finally shipped, so I installed it in my Gamecube with several other modifications. It turned out beautifully. :)

Oh no my GameCube is naked
The FlippyDrive installed in the console's shell
The test run! It works!!
Took some time to install a #FlippyDrive in my good ol' GameCube today! Now I can play totally legit backups on my machine, it's really neat. Love to see no-solder mods like this becoming more prevalent in recent times
Finally got one, idk how I missed the first round cuz I swear I preordered this the day I knew about it but whatever, lol its here now. Gonna get this on my Gamecube right away. #flippydrive #gamecube #videogamepickups
I just published my review of the #FlippyDrive! It's a wonderful Optical Drive Emulator that unlocks a host of amazing new features on your #GameCube! @teamoffbroadway.bsky.social

Had a great time tonight hanging out with @skyehdd.gay and worked together installing my #FlippyDrive on my #GameCube! Now I can backup my games, play my backups off SD card, and also play imports!
While this works, I was told that the actual intended placement is beneath the shielding. So, this is what you should end up with. #FlippyDrive #Nintendo #GameCube #RETROGAMING
1/2 While testing #FlipperMCE I decided I would install the #FlippyDrive on my Panasonic Q too, to test more games.
In the process I discovered there's no documentation for the Q and you could assume the flex should be placed the same way as in a normal cube but that's incorrect.
Finally, after a very long wait, my flippydrive units have arrived! One for my spice orange GameCube and one for my Panasonic Q.

Finally decked out my GameCube with the #FlippyDrive, MemCardPro, and BlueRetro Bluetooth adapter! Now I just need to wait for a lan update, then I'll deck out my second GameCube for Double Dash!! Thanks @chrispville.bsky.social for this perfect product!

Now that my #GameCube #FlippyDrive is installed and operational I'm slowly using their backup tool to archive my game collection. There's 42 unique titles, ~40 minutes per archive operation so... see you 28 hours later! 😬

What have they done to my boy? #FlippyDrive installation day! Blog post will follow, especially for the Ethernet adapter which isn't documented officially yet #GameCube
My #FlippyDrive shipped! So excited to install it in my ‘Cube. Nintendo lawyers can cry tears of soy.

Does it look dumb? Yes
Does it work? Yes
Got a flippy drive and designing my own IO plate for the #GameCube for this sd card reader. This is my temporary fix until the plate is done

Question: Can i trust Crowd supply? I read quite alot of negative reviews on Trustpilot. I wanna order a #FlippyDrive so i can put it into my japanese Gamecube. Or should i just get the GCLoader instead?

Last weekend I modified one of my Gamecubes with the FlippyDrive, courtesy of Team OffBroadway (@chrispville.bsky.social and Trevor Rudolph).
Although I broke a few cables in the process 😅, I had fun installing this to my Gamecube and got to play a classic, Sonic Heroes 💙💛❤️

#gamecube #flippydrive is installed and set up, and I have another one to wait for now. By then I'll maybe have things figured out here to start publishing videos on Youtube again.
A silver DOL-001 Nintendo GameCube facing the right side, the fan grill is dusty, but vaguely shows that an additional board is installed, referred to as the Flippydrive.
You can hardly tell over the dust. #gamecube #flippydrive

I've got the #flippydrive by @chrispville.bsky.social and @radicalplans.bsky.social in my hands. All I need now is a solid 3 hour block to test and document the process.
