Having just entered beta, the FlippyDrive currently has a few thousand hours of total game runtime. Compatibility has been excellent overall with a handful of third-party titles revealing a few minor bugs in our drive emulation that have since been fixed. Below is the list of GameCube titles, and their status with various loading modes.

Pluto II
=====
========
The Pluto II Internal HDMI mod takes up a significant amount of space within the console. Due to its position replacing the Digital Out port it will block the installation of the FlippyDrive Deluxe Ethernet Module. Some users have reported success with trimming both the actual Pluto board as well as the 3D printed mount that holds it in place, but this is very much not recommended. Any attempts to force the FlippyDrive Ethernet Module and Pluto II mod to work in the same system at the same time are at your own (substantial) risk.

Please check if the flex cable is correctly inserted into the drive connector. Make sure you folded it correctly into a W-like shape with the gold connectors of the flex cable inserted in the middle section of the connector.

Verify that the flex cable is folded correctly and is not upside down. The long arm of the flex cable will be between the disc connector and the heat sink.

You can order a replacement ribbon `here <https://teamoffbroadway.com/product/flippydrive-flex/>`_.

- **My order didn't come with mounting screws**

Recent FlippyDrives use an updated frame design that doesn't require screws. The lower mounting tab fits into the slot where the lower screw used to go, and the FlippyDrive snaps into the frame. While there is still a screw hole present as a backup, screws are not needed for normal installation.
The frame uses M1.6 5mm screws, but M1.8 or M2.0 screws will also fit if those are easier to obtain.

- **The mounting frame is damaged.**

If your mounting bracket was damaged during shipping or installation, you can print a replacement using the 3D model files (STL) available for download below.
You can use your own 3D printer or have it printed at a local library, maker space, or through an online printing service. If this is not an option for you, contact `customer support <https://help.teamoffbroadway.com/portal>`_.


.. note:: They can be printed with no supports so long as your printer has reasonable bridging performance to form the slot for the bottom mounting tab of the FlippyDrive.
