Size is precisely why dkppc r26 is required, but it's not available anywhere anymore. You could use a DOL compressor, but you'll most likely need to modify it for the viper entry point, and it still won't fit on qoob sx because less than 64KB are available (it actually required a custom build of dol...

You're welcome.

I've heard some were having trouble programming the FTDI with MProg. Since MProg is deprecated, I've added a programming file for FT_Prog which is the newer, still supported tool (this was already the case when I originally made this post, I just never bothered to provide and updated file because MP...

Just fyi, the 40W power brick is extremely overkill for the GC. It's designed to handle the entire console + a whackload of accessories and then some. If you remove the DVD drive then it will draw significantly less power as well.

It can definitely be done, and wouldn't require hacking up any hardware. The FPGA board can be expensive but it's very likely it can be made cheaper than the GBA consolizer, the question is more whether anyone would be willing to sell it for cheaper (BOM-wise it'd be quite similar). These things are...

I did not. I was unaware that it needed to be in there for the test to run properly.

If you don't have a card in there, the wasp will try to enable passthrough mode, which won't work since you don't have a real drive on the other side.

More than plenty fast enough, it's the fastest available bus, but that also makes it more difficult to work with. Requires much more expensive hardware for one.

Nice, good job with that.

But that's not practical in its current state (no GUI for configuration) and no one outside of the GBI crowd actually wants to run any homebrew from a disc, because there's no good reason to do that. SD adapters are cheap and easy to use, and as long as you can boot into Swiss, you can have any set-...

I know it's really, really hard for you...but try not to be a colossal cunt.

Look who's talking.

Just to make sure, you did have an SD card in the wasp when you ran that test right?

I'm well aware of how it's designed, but it's happened before. It's also possible that you didn't push it in all the way, leaving the connector inserted at an angle which can cause a wrong connection. At any rate, I know mega tends to be anal with testing and packages things well, in antistatic bags...

The devices were thoroughly tested before shipping. If it's not working then we can only assume that you've done something wrong like plugging it in incorrectly, which could have damaged the FPGA by feeding 5V into fragile IO pins. You can confirm this by running the attached dol. Swap the wasp in B...

I finally broke down and used my Wii to install the file onto my GC Memory Card, but I'm not pleased about it. It may be a minor quibble to you, but when I power on my GC to play a GB, GBC, or GBA game, it actually ANNOYS me to search through a Swiss menu to load up GBI. If you actually took the ti...

There's also the problem of codes relying on specific dcache behavior which can't work in Dolphin.

Interesting... Where do you have it posted? Ebay? This somehow ended up as a moderation report, so I'll relay it here: I m a chinese (my home is sited near beijing), only SF-EXPRESS & EMS can Express to TO JPN TAIWAI HONGKONG ，SORRY，MAYBE YOU NEED A Purchasing website。 NGC-RGBS http://v.youku.com/v...

Dolphin can also apply cheats without requiring the game to change its execution whereas real hardware will need an in memory hook to call upon a custom code handler at basically every frame

Dolphin actually installs a code handler as far as I know.

There's currently no way to reflash it without a programmer if you're not already running Cobra.

Use an SD gecko to load backups, it's cheap and you can reuse the card later with any ode you buy.

You would have to take the entire drive apart and test the motor directly.

Yes that's correct, if it doesn't think there's a disc, it won't even try to start the spindle motor. That short back and forth motion happens before spin-up. Doesn't exclude the possibility of a dead spindle though.

There's no best way. You'll have to look for someone who has one and is willing to sell it. They're fairly rare nowadays. Difficulty of installation depends on the adapter that you get for it, but it'll most likely require soldering. I think big SD cards will work on wode, which also supports USB dr...

Your options are: - xenogc with a Swiss DVD, also allows booting DVD backups directly - qoob or viper with iplboot + Swiss on SD, Swiss as a "plugin", or a Swiss DVD; Swiss, Cobra and the Qoob BIOS allow booting DVD backups directly - wiikey/wasp fusion or wode (best compatibility for backups on an ...

Swiss itself can't play Nintendo 64 games. You need an emulator such as Cube64/Wii64 or Not64, or the one from the Master Quest/Collector's Edition discs which you can inject ROMs into.

It should work, but I've never tested any of this. I use hardware mods.
