First GameCube modchip released

By Dan Wu

While there has been an exploit for some time using a broadband adapter and Phantasy Star Online that lets gamers load their own homebrew games (and pirated GameCube image files), the first modchip for the GameCube (the aging flagship Nintendo console, remember it?) has just been announced. The Viper GC modchip only requires the soldering of 4 wires, but there's no word on price or availability yet, and we're wondering why it took 4 years for the first GameCube modchip to come out.
