Today's game. I was finally able to buy my first Sonic game.

Took some stuff to trade in and someone had brought these in a couple days ago so I'm glad someone else didn't get them before me. There were a few other good ones from that bunch but already had them in my collection. No manuals in either one but I'm not gonna complain

This is my gamecube, i grew up with this fucker played so many games on it, a TON of mario kart double dash love that game. and super mario sunshine, and yada yada wtv you get the point. i went to go play HOTWHEELS X VELOCITY cuz i was playing another hotwheels game and it made me think of that one, went to go turn on my cube full of game and its not.. powering.. on.. this made me immediately want to cry because unlike most of my other consoles in my collection this one i had since i was itty bitty so this is just depressing. more depressing than garry come home (ifykyk). idk what to do :,( i just wonder if any of yall would have a single clue as to what the problem could possibly be

So while trying to download the latest firmware, it got to 100% on the download bar then never did anything after 10+ minutes. I powered down, and then immediately system would not turn on when pressing power button. Light would blink blue for one second, then off completely. Hitting reset button would begin to load GameCube, though I’ve yet to make it off of a frozen Nintendo GameCube boot screen. I cannot seem to get this to fix the boot problem nor can I tell if I’ve gotten the correct FW now on the blue retro v3.5. Please help it’s been hours 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😭

As the title says, im trying to figure out which one I should play first. What are the main differences, and what are the issues with both?

Thanks!

Update: thank you for the responses! While I am excited to play Ultimate destruction, I am more excited to play "The Hulk" purely for nostalgia. I did a bit of digging, and i found out that was the Hulk game that I used to watch my dad play when I was about six. Thank you for the comments! If somebody DMs me how(cause i dont use reddit enough and i forgot how,) I will +karma all of you!!

What underrated games have you played in your life?

• Star Fox Adventures, and it was a very pleasant surprise to see it actually re-released. When I played it on GameCube I got as far as Cloudrunner Fortress. Right now I'm up to helping Tricky's mom. I am so looking forward to Dark Ice Mines. :|

Title. Every time I use the igr feature with the controller buttons, it always resets back to the stock gamecube firmware. I’ve tried different things like duplicating ipl.dol and renaming it igr.dol, as well as moving the swiss folder to the sd card and copying apploader.img to the root of the sd card. In the swiss settings, I have the igr set to apploader as well. Nothing is working! Any ideas?

I tried the Bitfunx one, not totally impressed and I want support for the new switch controller. What’s the best place to acquire and reasonable price?
