Exclusive UK stockist for Carby & GC-Loader

CARBY for GameCube

Description

Updated model with latest firmware.
Please note you will need a CR2032 battery for the remote as they are removed before being shipped to us due to custom import laws.

The GameCube had an amazing library of games such as Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion & Smash Bros Melee. These games deserve to be played lag-free & in stunning clarity on a modern television. Let us introduce the CARBY V3! This little device  allows you to play your games in 480p on any HD television.

The Carby HDMI Adapter for GameCube is a device that allows you to connect your GameCube console to a modern HDMI-compatible display. It does this by converting the analog video and audio signals produced by the GameCube into a digital HDMI signal that can be displayed on a modern TV or monitor. The Carby HDMI Adapter also includes a built-in scaler, which allows it to automatically adjust the resolution and aspect ratio of the GameCube's video output to match the display it is connected to. This can help improve the overall visual quality of the GameCube's games when played on a modern display. 


  • Please note the following before purchase:

    -CARBY is only compatible with the model DOL-001 GC which has the digital port seen here, please confirm your version prior to purchase

Just a few of its great features:

  • Precision molded, metal shielded digital connector crafted to exact OEM specifications, provides an ultra-secure interface with your GameCube
  • Analog output remains open and active for additional sound and video options
  • Completely digital audio and video interface for amazingly clear and precise 480p video and stereo sound
  • Pre-programmed remote control is included
  • This device is powered by GC Video-DVI with custom firmware version 2.4d-2 which was designed by Ingo Korb and is used with permission under an open source copyright
  • 1 year limited warranty

    IMPORTANT NOTICE

    We apologize for any misunderstanding but the Carby does not come with an HDMI cable. There is an error on the included instruction sheet which refers to an included cable. However this is an error and was based on an early build. We apologize for this misprint, but we can assure you that all marketing materials and descriptions presented to you at the time of purchase specifically stated that the Carby and a remote would be included. For that reason we can safely say that no one was told that an HDMI cable was included at the time of purchase. Unfortunately, the removal of the HDMI cable was required due to significantly increased production costs. When discussed among the team members and resellers it was felt that this was preferable to increasing the price as most customers have HDMI cables available to them. We are sorry for the misprint on the included instructions and will be changing that as soon as possible.
