Here is one of my first projects involving consoles. I was learning Japanese at the time and I had always wanted to play the Japanese version of Luigi's Mansion. My friend taught me how to modify this GameCube so that I could play my game.
I soldered a switch to the motherboard, to switch between the region locks:
North America and South America (NTSC-U), and Japan and Asia (NTSC-J).
I only took a few pictures, so here is a brief tear-down.

I soldered the switch to these two points:
I used a hot glue gun to place the switch through the rear air vent:
Tada! 🎉
Professor E. Gadd: "Luigi, are you okay?"
I am so happy that I can play this now. It certainly added to my joy of learning another language!
Thank you!
