Re: GC-Loader vs WKF?

1) WKF has a passthru for optical drive, GCloader not
2) GCloader can support sd card bigger than 32gb, WKF not.
3) GCloader will soon have write support, WKF probably never.
4) GCloader is (more or less) available. WKF is out of stock.

Re: GB Player Consolizer

IIRC the gbaplayer has inside a standard gba chip. The "magic" happens in another chip (gbs-dol). So you can use a gbaplayer mainboard as a base for an hdmi consolization but it's pointless. The chip inside it's exactly the same. Also the hi-speed port connector it's impossible to find, un...

Re: GD SD-drive kit, after the GC-Loader another ODE for gamecube?

Ok, it's a bootable pressed disk with a sd2sp2 or an sd gecko. Very expensive, since for $20 you can still buy a Datel Media Loader.

Re: N64 GCvideo-DVI hybrid

That's great! I am waiting for a decent hdmi solution for N64. The mini hdmi is usually chosen because to use the standard hdmi port you have to pay some fees to the hdmi consortium.

Great! There is other software that uses the N64 controller? I mean there should be a test disk IIRC but does it work with, example, the N64 emulated copy of Zelda OOT?

The mod is not only adding a pic (with unknow code BTW) and updating the firmware (with an almost impossible to find authoring DVD). You also have to add anther ram chip (with decouplig caps, IIRC) if you want to enable PAL decoding. If you have a look on the ram chips on the third photo you will no...

It works mostly but you'll need a disc in the drive anyway so at that point, you might as well load a DVD-R with Swiss or something. It just replaces the C...

If it's claimed that the XenoGC can only recognise the 3 drives from standard GameCubes, in theory, if one was to inject the Panasonic drive into the code/bios for it to recognise, will it then work??
Where did you read this claim?

Probably the "boot" version is connected to HW version. You already have the latest firmware according to this: https://wode.obeygravity.de/Downloads#Firmware_Update_Files Maybe you can downgrade and then upgrade again following those instructions: https://wode.obeygravity.de/FirmwareDowng...

Memory card editing with Raspberry PI

I missed this one: it's a project for reading and writing GameCube memory cards with a Raspberry Pi. Not exactly the most useful thing since you can use a softmodded wii or HW on gamecube but it's nice to know about new stuff being developed for the cube. https://jamchamb.github.io/2018/12/03/gamecu...

Re: What modcip works in panasonic q?

Vertical resolution is 480 for NTSC vs 576 for pal, this is why they need more ram. On the unmodded units the chip is missing.

Re: What modcip works in panasonic q?

Panasonic Q is NTSC-Jap. To make a universal video dvd reader for NTSC you need a service disk (that is not easy to replicate because it uses a special format). For having Pal compatibility you need also an extra memory chip and,from the photos I saw, also a pic with unknown content.
