Small sized, reverse spin, DVD-Rom based.

To activate 640x480p (progressive scan mode), hold down the B button while turning on the GameCube. Some gamecube software is compatible with progressive scan mode and all GameCubes units are capable of outputting it. But units manufactured after 2004 for retail outlets have no Digital Out port which is required to plug into a progressive scan monitor. There is no obvious way to know which unit you are getting unless you look or ask when buying a used one or open the package when buying a new one. Nintendo does not advertise the fact, but they will replace your digital-portless GameCube with a unit that has a digital port, if you have purchased it new in the store. Or as an alternative, you may buy a post-2004 manufactured GameCube directly from Nintendo.
