Ok, got my xeno chip (labeled xen8) from eBay. Went to put it in but attempted the quick solder pad method, this did not work for me and I fucked a pad pulling it off. So I had a bunch of NTSC cubes in the closet, pulled the drive out and did the wire method with kynar wire, took about 8 mins start to finish and way easier as you can see if you bridge any pads. So anyone wondering you can pull a drive out of a NTSC cube and use it on Pal :-) hooked it up and worked great. I used my NTSC gameboy boot disc no problem and tested about 3-4 other games they all booted fine. I bought some mini DVD-R's so I'll try to burn some of those other boot discs.
So if you can grab a pal cube (30 bucks) a GBA player (25) and a xeno chip (7) you too can play rgb GBA for about 62 bucks assuming you burn a boot disc...
Cell phone pics but you get the idea.

Just looking at eBay sold prices seems to be normal unless it comes with extras?

None of those are actually PAL gamecubes though. They're all just mis-listed US models it seems.

Hmmmm. I checked eBay.com.uk and they are 16 GBP there which is like 21 bucks with free shipping :-) maybe you could buy 4 of them and just cut shipping between 4 people :-) does rots pawn shop sell these?

I'd be all over a PAL GameCube group buy.

As described my $30 "PAL" cube with gba player was a NTSC, seller gave me a $20 refund though.

Didnt think about asking here until after I made a WTB thread, anyone know where I can pick one of these up?

So what exactly is the combination of parts that are needed, and what does that get you? RGB output from NTSC games on a PAL cube in the USA? Same plug as SNES/N64? Is it good for normal GCN games too, or mainly GBA Player?

I wanted to post pictures of my setup but I noticed my CRT does this thing where bright colors are kind of jittery and shakey. Any clue on what may be causing this? I'm almost 100% sure it isn't interference.
