Tutorial: Launching games from SD card with SDML
Posted: Fri Feb 18, 2011 3:41 pm
This is for anyone who wants to run games from their SD card.
1. download the latest revision of Swiss here: http://code.google.com/p/swiss-gc/downloads/list
2. place your sd card into your computer and drop the .dol onto it and the game you wish to play
3. open Disk Defragmenter and analyze the SD card to see if any of the files are fragmented if they are then defragment your SD card since if the game is fragmented it won't work
4. remove your SD card from your computer and place it into the adapter
5. place the sd adapter into one of the memory card slots and place your SDML disc into your gamecube
6. press the power button and wait for SDML to load
7. select SWISS-LZ.dol from the list and wait for it to load
8. once you get to the screen where you may choose DVD, SDHC or IDE-EXI before you do anything else open up your gamecube and remove the SDML disc and insert a legit gamecube game
9. now you can select SDHC and pick your game from the list and push boot
if your game doesn't boot now it's either not compatible or it's corrupt or a bad file
also it can get random errors so if your game freezes you can turn off your gamecube and remove the legit game and insert the SDML disc again and start from step 6 and maybe it will work
I hope this will help somebody. Have fun!
