Alternate links for USB-C to GC cable #6

Closed Soundtoxin closed 1 year ago

I think we need an alternate source for the cables in the readme. I ordered one from the Frame1 site over a month ago, and have heard basically nothing. They show as in-stock, so I assumed they were already made and would just be shipped out. Not sure what the deal is. I managed to get a cable from the B0xx site in under a week (ordered fewer and they cost a little more, though), and they also have the USB-C to N64 cables, so they should be listed as a source instead or additionally. I also think a guide for making your own cables would be good to have linked in the readme to reduce these points of failure in sourcing such an important part. I don't know of a good guide, hopefully someone else does. Otherwise one may need to be written/recorded.

Your order includes 2 things that are not currently shipping (brook installation kits that are only for the soon-to-be released Frame1 wave). Your order would have shipped weeks ago otherwise

Thank you for the additional info, Greg. I still really do think it may be worth listing multiple sources / DIY methods for the cables in the future (so not sure the issue should be closed), but I'm glad to have cleared up my particular case now.
