Re: Enable Zuru mode on Animal Crossing?

HxD uses HEX, and find the byte and you type... if you wanna change only one number in the pairs (like 0A to 0B, you type 0B) only one will turn red to show it's edited it's sounds funny when you say zuru mode... it's probably supposed to be Tool mode, from katakana ツール, which is how japanese say th...

Re: GCPlug Information - Inc firmware updates

I have one of them AliExpress GCplugs as there were a lot cheaper for me. £31 including shipping and no customs charge. Although I do have a few questions about updating its firmware. Is this the usb programmer I need to buy to be able to update the firmware? https://a.aliexpress.com/_sqxYAe What c...

I personally don't have Swiss as igr.dol and I put the most work into that feature. So, uh, yeah.

I probably also use it more than anyone, and if you think otherwise, you need to settle down and play a damn game already.
out of curiosity what -do- you have as igr.dol?

Re: Swiss and In-Game-Reset

You need to put swiss.dol named as igr.dol on your SD card, then navigate to the settings in Swiss and set In Game Reset to igr.dol. The button combo is D-PAD down + Right Trigger + Z + B Why not Swiss.dol or boot.dol(for gcloader)? Is there any time you'd want something other than Swiss as igr? Th...

Re: Minimal ipl boot Viper GC

is it really not possible to lessen the bloat? disable video output?

accessing SD and booting a boot.dol shouldn't take that much code afaik.
I mean the zelda exploit for wii was kilobytes (~100kb including the hacked save)

Don't be fooled, JTAG is way easier and doesn't involve soldering. depends though.

Re: GCPlug Information - Inc firmware updates

odd, the ones I saw when searching gcplug on aliexpress was $50 at the cheapest. weakness of the plastic plug is if the cable gets pulles it could short out a 12v line in the connector and fry your cube. it's been mitigated but I don't think it's perfectly safe unless you get a metal connector. insu...

Re: GCPlug Information - Inc firmware updates

looking at prices the Carby with metal plug is only like $15 more so I'd stick to that... gives you full size hdmi as well.

I'm a bit confused about video modes and how to set them... I wanted to try 240p on GCVideo 2.4b but it gives no image at all. 240p works fine in gamecube games if I force it in Swiss. edit: my gamecube is PAL. by default I get 720x576p50 if I choose 480p60 I get the same if I set video type to NTSC...

Re: Updating from GCOS 1.X to Cobra 2.1

Sorry I'm pretty sure flashing with a flasher is your only option since you already left Cobra BIOS (only software that supports flashing I know of). I'm not sure if anyone has tried extracting the cobra OS as DOL... maybe that could be used to allow flashing from GC? since you got GC OS already can...

Yeah no doubt it's required, but I think you need to have both. the FFC cable if for hardware programmer. (dip switch setting, change from viper comm/programmer, you must set dip switch back to use viper normally after programming) Serial port on gamecube is only needed for the tools, like taking s...
