Playing GameCube Games Through a HDD

Hey Guys im New to these Forums and was Just Wondering if you guys could help me out

OK so i wanted to know if could Hook up a IDE (or Even a SATA if Possible Either or works for me) Hard Drive to my Game Cube so i can basically just backup games and play them off it instead of a disk or SD Gecko Method

i Know they used to make the IDE-EXI Adapter but i don't have one

So if any one would be able to help me out that would be SUPPPPPER

Edit: also it would work if i could even just Hook up a USB External Hard drive to the GameCube too either or would be Awesome

thanks
-Matt

seriously? 20% of the forums are about the IDE-EXI (which was made by our lovely administrator and others btw)
hard drive options are currently just IDE-EXI (which you can build yourself, too) and the WODE

the IDE-EXI even has it's own subforum (out of the 8 we have, so not that much)
viewforum.php?f=23

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=538

the second batch i mentioned will not be 1 or 2 homemade adapters. it will be another professionally manufactured batch.
ETA: when it's done.

for searching, the IDE-EXI is sometimes called IDE2EXI, too

yeah that was just discussion about a second batch in that thread. we'll see.
there have been 100 made by "us" and user dilav made 5 - those are the only professional ones that i've seen so far. maybe there are cheap knockoffs somewhere in china but who knows.

indeed,
but i figured out if i just do google site:gc-forever.com *term* it works better cuz i get no results most of the time if i use the search function on the site

so from what im seeing on the wiki (http://www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=SDGecko)

Supported Cards
Type SD/SDHC/SDXC (Class 2/4/6/10)
Size 16MB-2TB (up to 64GB tested)

Post by **liquitt** » Tue Oct 30, 2012 7:42 am

zeldafan1993 · Post by **zeldafan1993** » Tue Oct 30, 2012 7:45 am

Post by **liquitt** » Tue Oct 30, 2012 7:46 am
