The stock unit is a large, heavy brick that is increasingly hard to find in good condition — and like every supply of its age, its capacitors do not last forever. This board takes its place and runs the console from a USB-C PD charger instead, which is a great deal easier to live with, to travel with, and to replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower delivery has come a long way since these machines were engineered. A USB-C PD supply is smaller, cooler and far better regulated than anything available when the console was new — and when it eventually needs replacing, it is an off-the-shelf part rather than a hunt for a decades-old brick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFits Both GameCube Revisions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with \u003cstrong\u003eDOL-001\u003c\/strong\u003e (the original model, with the digital AV output) and \u003cstrong\u003eDOL-101\u003c\/strong\u003e (the later revision without it).
