Yeah, I did all that soon after I bought the GC.

Alright, so having no luck with a 1:1 ROM with a recognised checksum, and no luck with SSBM being burnt to a disk, I'm finally gonna come to the conclusion that they're bad disks. Gonna either: buy some more expensive disks or: splash out on a legit GBPlayer disk.

Downloaded that way. I tried an NTSC ISO that wasn't resized, no luck with that either.

The ISO was resised for a MiniDVD, so 1.4GB.

Dolphin reads it like a treat, so I presumed the ISO itself isn't an issue.

Sure, here it is, assuming you want the checksum:

Emu_kidid and AC_Orange both got theirs a year or two ago, and the PS2 was end-of-lifed a year or two ago, so they're somewhat similar

Anyway, I tried the nightly build. From SD, I get a black screen, and "Error: Disk not initialized" from DVD. Any ideas?

Thanks Emu_kidid, I'll try it when I get the chance.

Nintendo haven't sold start up discs for years afaik. After all, it was two generations ago. It would be like asking Sony for a brand new DualShock 2, you'd just have to get it elsewhere. Trouble is, the disc is so rare. That's why I'm trying to use SDML

However getting to that menu requires getting past the "enabling patches" screen, as far as I can tell.

lol I was replying to Streetwalker, sorry.

I did clean connections, and when unplugging the GBPlayer, I get the error "It isn't connected"

To clarify, how can I disable patching?

You can do that? How?

Sorry, I'm such a scrub at these things

It is burnt, I can't get past the "enabling patches" screen.

Hai :) So, I'm convinced this isn't the first time this topic has arisen, and I'm convinced you know what I'm gonna say. Anyway: Having bought a GBPlayer without the increasingly rare startup disc, I ordered an SD Media Launcher as a means to run a backup. When trying to boot from the SD Card, both ...
