Nintendork Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Why doesn't my GameCube have an ATI badge? It's nothing to do with the hardware is it? I figured it's just one of the older ones.. there is no badge on the box so it can't have fallen off or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 No I don't think it is. Maybe they just ran out of them? Random fact: The gamecube was the first place that ati used their new logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 They ran out of badges so they printed a new box especially? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 The GameCube's GPU was made by ArtX which was later bought by ATi. GameCubes no longer have the stickers on any more no idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 Ah well, no big deal. As long as it works. My disc drawer button is busted too.. it's like at a weird angle. Still functional but it pops out. Might open it up to fix that up with the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 The GameCube's GPU was made by ArtX which was later bought by ATi. GameCubes no longer have the stickers on any more no idea why. They bought it just before the release of gamecube. I have one of the early ones and it has the "graphics by ati" sticker. Actually I think that because they bought artx they're still competing in the graphics card market. At one time I was fearing of an nVidia monopoly when the 3dfx died. Ati's best offerings for cards were ati rage pro/fury's or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Din Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I've had mine since May 3rd 2002. Still works a treat. My Purple Cube died ages ago and I bought it on launch day so I had to buy another one (black). Both have ATi stickers on 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I'm not. That was before I bought a black one to match the car.I thought you actually had a Cube and TV in your car so you could play on the road Yeah, my Cube has the ATi sticker too. Maybe they removed the sticker because some contract with ATi ended (maybe they got a discount on the chips if they promoted ATi on the Cube).

Mokong Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I've had mine since May 3rd 2002. Still works a treat. Ah i remember that day like it was yesterday, i went to the city about 2 hours before the shop opened, drove my motorbike, it was a cold morning but the sun was out. I was the first person queuing, and only one other person came before it opened (about 2mins before it opened), i had it all paid off already so i just ran up to the counter handed them my receipt they gave me my balck cube, extra pad, 2 (Luigi Mansion, Wave Race) of the 3 games i ordered (the 3rd (Star Wars: Rogue Squadron2) wasn't devilvered on time and i had to go back later the same day when their delivery came), packed it all into my sports ran to my bike drove home and excited set it up in the pre-ready spot under my TV. ah the memories... OMG i just just realised this, the 4 year anniversary of the Gamecubes Euro release is tomorrow, we should have a party. I'll bring the Guinness and Whiskey:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
