Hi. I have a few questions:
1) Is it possible to use Viper GC (not Extreme) without the Gamecube optical drive (using iplboot as a replacement BIOS on the Viper GC)?
2) If yes, is the instalation of the modchip on Gamecube the same (4 wires to solder and a solder bridge)?
3) What about the two connectors of the lid sensor switch on Viper GC modchip? Just leave them disconnected or do I need to bridge it to simulate the lid always closed?
4) Does the latest revision of iplboot (which boots from SD2SP2) support SDHD/SDXC or just SDSC (2GB or less)?
Thank you.

Re: Minimal ipl boot Viper GC
Is this worth upgrading my Viper GC to iplboot?
What are the advantages? Can I revert back to ViperGC OS?
Thanks
EDIT - Anyone have screenshots of this new bios in action?

Compiled file will be too large for qoob SX, requires qoob Pro.
I will not compile it for you.
Here is a link to the repo https://github.com/redolution/iplboot NO LONGER MAINTAINED
This is roughly how you do:Sending me a PM about this will probably link you to this.PlatypusWithCheese wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 3:16 amif you are on debian/ubuntu

Re: Minimal ipl boot Viper GC
iplboot is silent its just black screen for a second then it loads a .dol from sdcard.
