Keep in mind, you need a dedicated memory card for Japanese AND American games. For some reasons, each region Gamecube formats its memory cards differently.

That's ALSO good to know. Do you think swapping the shell from my american gamecube/ gameboy player would work? Not 100% if I could pull off a mod, without botching it lol!

Shouldn't be an issue. Remember, the gamecubes laser assembly is VERY fragile. A way to protect it is to keep a disc on the system when it is disassembled.

he who controls the spice colored gamecube, controls the universe.
