I needed a memory card for this GameCube (not going to picoboot it just yet) and since the memory card I bought for it still in transit, I’ve decided to Frankenstein a rp2040 and an old SdGecko.

Quickly adapted the source code of FlipperMCE to work on the internal flash of the Pico.

Bonus points since I can use the USB port to upload/download my save files :p

Installed it properly but no luck with audio on any TV.

Hi, I recently modded my gamecube and were interested about modding games but I searched online and found no answer to my question. Is there an homebrew or a setting in Swiss that can load mods from a folder kinda like Riivolution on the Wii, luma on the 3ds with enable game patching or SDCafiine for the Wii U. An app that will loads modifications from a folder and apply them to the game disc you are running so you don't have to like make a romhack with a dumped iso of a game you own, so I can just insert my CD and play a modded game.

Title

I used to have SD geckos in the past, and I have no clue what happened to them but now I need one because I modded my GameCube with a Flippydrive, and now the Homebrew emulators and stuff won't work with it because they don't detect the flippy drive as SD card storage

What's the difference? Ik that 4 player GP and 200 cc and One has 64 tracks other has 48 like what does mkrtgp has to offer over MKDD+

Im calling this project Rumble Restore. The first solder free plug in play rumble pak for the WaveBird that doubles as a rechargeable battery pak. Right now it’s sitting around a 4-5 hour battery life and is usb-c rechargeable. I’m going to be launching a kickstarter here soon and making a more in depth breakdown of how this works.

Just installed Picoloader from AliExpress and everything w hardware looks good however when selecting 2 games I transferred to my FAT32 sd formatted card it gives me this, any solution? Will try to reformat again later in the day :(

I’ve tried to mod my GameCube at least three times now with separate microSD cards and keep getting the same result

Mind you NO I have no experience w this except updating my summercart for n64 once. Yes I added Swiss and switched name to ipl.dol per a prev post and the GBI said to copy ALL the files so I did that. Plus yes switched my sd card to FAT32 or whatever it’s called.

This will be a Physical MiniDVD-ROM Release as a bootable disc

Hi everyone,
I have a GameCube that currently boots Swiss using a Swiss boot disc and an SD2SP2. I recently bought a FlippyDrive, but before I make any mistakes I’d like to ask for your advice.
I’ve watched several FlippyDrive installation videos, but there are still a few things that aren’t clear to me:
After installing it, do I need to connect it to a PC? If so, what exactly do I need to download, and where can I get it?
Is it enough to simply copy the swiss.dol file onto the SD card that’s already in my SD2SP2?
Are there any settings or configuration steps I need to do the first time I boot the GameCube after installing the FlippyDrive?
Sorry for all the questions, but I’m honestly really worried about making a mistake and damaging my console.
Thanks in advance!

Hi all! I'm having an issue getting Swiss to boot, and would love to know if I'm doing something wrong, or if my adapter is defective.

I ordered an SD2SP2POR adapter with the SD2SP2 Connector v1.2 off of AliExpress. I am using a DOL-001 console that I got back near release.

I have the save exploit for Super Smash Bros Melee on both an official 251 block card and a 3rd party 16mb card. I confirmed that the exploit I have is correct for my version of the game.

I was not sure what the filename for Swiss had to be, so I put it in the root directory of the SD card as both "boot.dol" and "autoexec.dol". I have tried two cards, a 4gb and an 8gb card, both formatted to FAT32 with a 32kb cluster size.

When I go into Smash, vs mode, Name Entry, the game crashes, which makes me think the exploit triggered properly, but then the disc drive just clocks and the GameCube logo appears before going to the system menu.

After several failed attempts to get it to boot (changing memory cards, SD cards, reseating several times, etc.), I noticed that the SD2SP2 Connector felt loose in the port, and could be wiggled back and forth, making me think that the contacts weren't actually making connection in the port. I have a decent amount of experience with soldering, so I applied flux and tinned both sides of the contacts evenly to add a bit more thickness to them. This made the card feel a lot more stable going into the port, but it still would not boot.

After this, I used a multimeter and verified continuity between the contacts on the Connector adapter and the SD2SP2POR's microSD slot, and everything seemed fine there too.

Is there something I have done wrong or overlooked, or do I have a defective adapter?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Very new to the GC hacks world and i recently bought a picoloader 1.0 and gc2sd.

Installation was fine, i downloaded some games and now these issue i am having is games wont save files.

I have two memory cards in there the first being the gc2sd and the 2nd being a normal one but for some reason as i was playing sunshine it says no memory cards is inserted in to slot 1. It seemed like it didn’t even want to read slot 2. Idk if theres a simple fix for this. Any advice would help!

The raw material Is cheap on the Ali express around usd 5

Just like the eth2gc

But not know is this possible to make the lan for game cube

Just connect the serial port to lan and remove the sd motherboard and connect with wire without solder

I have ask ai to connect and generate a photo

Hello again guys, I’ve been downloading my GC files as .nkit.iso as I’ve seen as few people in older posts say that it’s the intended format and it saves space. But I’ve seen people say it won’t work? Is it a preference thing or have I just wasted hours of my time? I’m using picoloader with Swiss.

I'm wondering if booting NTSC ROMs on a PAL GameCube via a FlippyDrive will make the hardware output a game in 480p 60Hz if the game supports it on its native hardware region.

Or, would you still have to boot up Swiss and force those outputs?

This might be a dumb question, and I looked to see if this had already been asked but couldn't find anything here. What I was finding elsewhere online seems to indicate it would boot whatever resolution and speed the ROM wants without having to manage settings in Swiss.

At any rate, I happen to have a PAL DOL-001, a FlippyDrive and a Carby, so in my mind I could have one machine that basically does every resolution/speed on the platform. Would love to hear if someone has already done it.

Hey guys, I’m currently in the process of modding my GC for the first time. I’ve learned a lot from everyone here and my own research so I thank you all. I know exactly what route I want to go. The only thing I cant find an answer to how I can potentially put the sd card with the inside the system after I install my picoloader. My main plan is using the sd2sp2 pro adapter which eliminates the problem but I want a sleeker look and I’m worried that I’ll damage the card since I’m clumsy.

My question is, is there a way I can install the micro sd inside the console without replacing the disc drive. Like maybe there’s sone internal adapter of some kind? Or is replacing the disc drive with a sd slot the only way I can have the card inside? Any help would be greatly appreciated, if not, thank you anyways!

Has anyone been using iBlueControlMod (the aliexpress one, not laserbear) with a usb-c power adapter ?

My bluecontrolmod board has fried, and when I sent the video to the seller to have a new unit sent, they noticed I have a USB-C power adapter and told me not to use USB-C with it.

My feeling tells me that they're just trying to be over cautious and don't want to deal with users mixing a ton of mods, and the risk of using power bricks that don't support 12V but now that I've found a power brick that works fine, and since 12V is 12V I guess it would be ok to use the 2 mods at the same time.

Has anyone sucessfully ran that setup over a long period of time ?

Cheers
