Gamecube Homebrew could use some tutorials
Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2018 4:01 pm
I currently worked out how to add Game Boy Interface, homebrew quake, and Swiss r442 to an SD card in a file configuration that works. I boot this all from an action replay disk. I realize I could streamline my setup by just burning Swiss onto a minidisk since I also modded my PAL gamecube with a xeno GC chip (so I could play my NTSC library of games). However, I don't have any blank mini-dvds and that's not my issue.
The place I'm having trouble is in figuring out how to extract .gcm files from ISOs and making that into a .dol file so that swiss can run it. I tried to run an ISO directly from swiss, but it just gives me a solid green screen. Also, the files are a mess on my SD card in order for swiss to find them. Can anyone on the forums hook me up with their setup? Or at least give me a tutorial video on how swiss looks for the info it needs for the display options of GBI? I'm very confused, and I'm more of a hardware guy myself. Also, can Action Replay not see any sd cards larger than 2 GB? Thanks a million in advance. I would like to become a member of this community and pass on any knowledge to future members because I feel this is an important secret. It should be carried on and preserved like a lost art.
