V3.5 has some minor changes, the relay has been replaced with a solid state switch this makes power down and up silent. It also moves the power input header to a new position on the board, this changes the install slightly, but should not need a new guide to follow as all connections use different connectors.

The V3 version of the GameCube Blue Retro has moved to fully 3d printed controller ports. This was done due to supply chain issues. It also allows us to keep the price stable with the increased cost of the parts. It moves away from detecting controllers via their electrical connection which was not always functional, especially with 3rd party controllers. The new method is through the controller shielding which will be effective on all controllers, this was only possible with the fully custom controller connectors. New Photos to come when we receive the boards.

V3 Boards also include an embedded antenna, in testing this performed to same as the external testing, with the custom controller ports there was enough room to move to the larger module with an embedded antenna.

This custom board installs into the place of the GameCube controller board allowing for new features on the console.

Blue Retro is a high speed Bluetooth controller interface that opens retro consoles up to the plethora of modern controllers with latencies that even some wired adapters can’t manage. This new board allowsfor the use of up to 4 connected Bluetooth controllers, and can be mixed and matched with wired controllers on any of the ports for seamless operation.
