(The main weakness of the OSSC is deinterlacing quality. Wii (or WiiU) can force most GC games to be played in 480p. (Thats the reason to go with a Wii instead of a WiiU - which has an HDMI out and wouldnt require the OSSC.) Two positives - every emulator for the wii can output 240p, which the OSSC can scale 5x. (And then 50 for a USB drive if you also would want to play Wii games from SD media (also buy a y cable.) ). maybe add 30 USD on top for a shielded component cable, and 20 for a SD card. Thats including two controllers, two wii motion plus, your choice of color. I agree, the best mod you could do is to buy a Wii (non mini, non Wiiu), and an OSSC - and call it a day. Smash Brothers competitive also has endless debates here on things that can be done to either cut away bits of a controller (easier to be sure you are exactly diagonal if resting in a small notch there) or replicate what is technically a bug (some call it a factory bonus) that allows for certain frame accurate techniques and why some controllers found to be within that regime (especialyl legitimately) are the silly money. You have your basic remaps, macros and turbo press controls. More simply a headphone port might be something some want.Ĭontrol mods would also be a thing. It is a potential option though, don't know if you could do something like make a surround sound setup in the console and have it come out in the bunch of ports normally seen coming out of an amp to go to the 5.1 setup (presumably externally powered speakers but you might get fancy).

Its audio was generally OK and not being a headphone sporting device we tended not to see the sorts of things seen either on old consoles or things complying with French law (later European stuff, today mostly worldwide as nobody is going to complain about not having deaf kids) where people replace DACs with better ones, remove restrictions or add amps.

The GB player is also of some interest in this, especially with the alternative boot loaders that can do fun things for speedrunners and whatnot. If you are bolting things on then you will also want to source a network adapter, and there are a few nice games that support network comms there (probably some homebrew too) with most probably starting with 8 player Mario Kart Double Dash.

Not sure what goes for the likes of these days. As far as commonly seen/done things then other than heading down the portable console route (for which most would point you very much at the Wii for, should be able to still have it do GC) then those are pretty much it.
