Pi Pico. With a RP2040 MCU. Which retails for [$9.91 on Amazon](Seeed Studio Raspberry Pi Pico Flexible Microcontroller Board Based on The Raspberry Pi RP2040 Dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ Processor for Gamecube, 1pc. https://a.co/d/0A0hAXX).
I’m sure they were giving away at some events because we’re trying to popularize the new chip to get more devs to jump on board. I use a RP2040 on my current project and it’s a great chip.
What does that have to do with the GameCube?
I’m not quite sure what you’re asking but I believe you are talking about PicoBoot, which is a way to hack your GameCube using a Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040.

Edit: I just realized the Amazon sale says GameCube. Makes sense now.
Just your standard Amazon SEO product name.
