The Spaceworld GameCube Has been found, and here is a comparison!

After days, months, years of searching, someone in Discord posted the link to a certain prototype GameCube that was for sale, quickly we found out that it was the Spaceworld console that was shown in Spaceworld 2000 Expo!

The Details

As promised on our Twitter account here are some high quality pictures of the system, from all sides,

As you can see, it has some wires coming out from the bottom, we assume its only for the LED on top, since these units were only for shown on the Spaceworld 2000, none of them were actually working just shining on their displays.

The insides:
Nothing is connected, there is a loose PCB, with the name CPU-DJ-X2 that indicates that this is a prototype board there is no CPU or GPU installed, just wires that goes to the LED on top, everything can be removed without screws except the base.

The Comparison to the Retail Unit

Of course you would like to know, what exactly is different beside the window on the lid? We manage to find at least 20 differences we have compared it with a Japanese GameCube DOL-001 console! About the size, the Spaceworld is 1 mm bigger from all sides then the retail!

The Top:
The top has 4 differences, the Spaceworld GameCube is on the right,
- Spaceworld has a window lid
- The reset button is flat
- The On/off button is round and actually a 'convex button'
- The names 'power" "Reset" and "open" is written down in white and not carved in, (more details in other pictures)

The Side:

- Below the vents, the retail has a little 'wing' on the side and the Spaceworld does not.

Finally, the covers,

The covers of the ports, are written in white, but also nothing on the insides, while the retail version has their part numbers written there.
