Hi all
After buying a GameCube with Viper GC installed, not knowing about the existance of an Extreme version, and being dissapointed about the possibilities of this modchip I searched, found and bought a GameCube with a Qoob Pro installed (including the USB programmer) and even equipped with a XCM top cover + original controller and cabling (paid 150€ for it, I believe that's an OK price?).
In my search for more info about this particular chip I ended up here and have read through the entire thread.
I am however a noob so it's not all clear to me.
What I want to achieve:
1. Still being able to play genuine disk games (from all regions), mostly for quick test purposes
2. (Auto)Boot Swiss from SD2SP2
3. Have the settings for Swiss stored on the SD-card in the SD2SP2
4. Being able to play backups and homebrew of the SD2SP2 with save functionality
5. Use cheats when desired
(6. Maintain the possibility to use a broadband adapter -if I ever find an affordable one)
Ideal boot sequence:
1. No disc > boot Swiss
2. Disc detected > Choice to boot disk or boot Swiss
I haven't received the GC yet so can't do much atm but I would like to be prepared when it shows up
If I understand correctly I should:
a. flash Swiss to an empty slot on the Qoob Pro?
b. flash iplboot to an empty slot on the Qoob Pro?
c. I'm an idiot, none of the above but instead...
Have been searching but couldn't find a definitive noob-guide regarding the Qoob Pro and it's possibilities.
Once I've figured it out maybe I'll write one for others like me
Any help/info is appreciated!
