hey guys i dont have an sd gecko so im looking to install an sd card slot into my gamecube
does anyone have a guide for this
i have found a few but they arent straight forward

does anyone have a fairly easy one to follow?

IMO you just need the pinouts and a relation diagram. so here you go:

german:

spanish (with good pictures):

Hint: Some sd-card connectors have two special pins that will connect, when a card is inserted.
Use them for the sense line (pin 1 connected to pin 12), otherwise the gamecube will show a not identified/useable device, although nothing is inserted.

But if you dont have fun with the soldering iron, this would be an alternative:

Hope this helps.

thanks alot man,
also do you know if i put a .dol file on the sd card will the qoob boot menu see the file as it would a .dol file on a dvd?

No the qoob boot menu would not, but then if you put Swiss or SDLoad on your qoob flash you can go into that and browse your SD Card. Eventually I will have Swiss running as a Qoob PRO flash file

unfortunatey i cannot flash as i have an sx but when i get my pro il give it a go for sure

128kb is a tiny flash especially when there's no code available to write to it - unless I disassemble their .ELF flasher.

but should be enough for sdload, no?

I guess so, sdload also fits on a Xeno I thought?

well sdload fits on a vipergc as a plugin, so...

SDLoad on XenoGC is the stub code to find and load it from a patched SD card (prepared with the tool that comes with SDLoad). SDLoad flashed on ViperGC is SDLoad compressed down to 40kb.

ah like the version for action replay? neat btw: maybe the xenoGC author can publish some information about dol from memorycard and stuff like that. not like a real documentary but one or two sentences
