I took it apart and what caps i saw looked good.
no bulging etc and the console works.
so I'm not going to fix what ain't broken.

I didn’t realize that there are so many new Cd ROM replacements I need to update the first post. If you’re interested in helping please just reply with the links to the new replacement projects. I really want a Sega Saturn SSD if there are any higher quality ones, please let me know.

The gamecube should be updated to have the SD2SP2 and GC Loader. The media launcher is discontinued, but there are gecko clones everywhere.

TerraOnion is doing a new "HD" revision of the Super SD System 3 with added HDMI out and SuperGrafx support.

It sounds great, but I've been very happy emulating the PC Engine/Turbografx while using the excellent HORI PCE mini controllers. They have a 10 foot USB cable and very low latency.

Just for the record, don't get those ___ to hdmi cables.   The goal for any console is to get either rgb out via a scart cable or vga, which the DC already has thankfully.   Then, if needed you run them through an upscaler and/or through a hdmi converter.   A gbs control can be built for as little as 50 dollars and you'll get a much better picture not to mention the fact that scart cables for most console can be had for as little as $5 on aliexpress depending upon the console.  Some people obsess over the cable quality, but I assure you, the worst scart cable is still going to look worlds better than most of the other video methods at your disposal.
