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.c...

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 back...

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.

Unless I'm mistaken, the issue with burning GBI by itself to a disc is that the console can't pass parameters to it.

That's easily worked around with appended arguments, the more annoying issue is having to burn and waste discs each time you want to change something or update GBI.

1) If you have Swiss on your memory card then that's enough, you can load anything from SD with it. 2) You can update the memory card on the GC itself with either Swiss or GCMM, but be careful not to lock yourself out with no Swiss file on your memory card. Alternatively, you can just put new Swiss ...

It is not twitter I am even talking about. The gamecube reddit has some very lengthy and angry posts as well regarding their practices. Plenty to be found. Perhaps they have improved but whatever, i shouldn't have even brought it up. I really don't care. But I would stay away from it. Whether it's ...

Badass consoles doesn't take orders at the moment for any of their listed products. When I was very active in the gamecube community back in March and February, it was known that the customer service is very poor and that some orders were never fullfilled nor refunded. Just because you had a good e...

There won't be any more wasp customs because wasps are very rare and expensive now.

You can try badass consoles but from what I have gathered it is pretty bad. The admin doesn't reply, take orders or give refunds where requested.

Please don't spread misinformation.

Well in this case, yes you can. The gamecube is a very low power system so it doesn't need much in terms of cooling.

Well, that's all I can do for you. You said you have a "real" xeno on the way, wait for that and see if that changes anything. It'd be strange but I wouldn't be surprised.

Linux is completely out of the equation with xenopie, you only need to install it to your sd card for the GPU boot blobs which are required to load both Linux and bare metal kernels. The only advice I can give you is triple-check your wiring again. It's really weird that it's only misbehaving with o...

The gamecube already uses thermal pads and they're more than good enough. Don't bother changing them.

Nope, nothing of the sort.

Like Extrems said, this isn't supported, mostly because of space constraints. 16MB capacity means that in practice you won't be able to fit 16MB ROMs unless trimmed, which excludes the majority of games. You can get an SD adapter for very cheap, so it was never deemed worth it.

The Gameboy player is literally a GBA. Unless an accessory depends on the physical form factor of the console, it's compatible.

If you have access to homebrew (GC or Wii), you can copy your saves with gcmm.
The actual editing requires knowledge of the save format which isn't always easy to reverse engineer. Many games also have a checksum and reject the save outright if it's broken.

Enough with the whining and baseless accusations. The source code is on GitHub, if anyone wants fork it and continue working on it, feel free to start a new thread.
