Let me know what you find. I finally have a working build environment and I am waiting for some Atmega8A chips to arrive.

Atmega8A chips? Are you making your own XenoGC chip by any chance TPSNT???

I have built a XenoGC and installed it in my Q but it doesn't work. The red LED turns off and then immediately on again. I guess the next step will be to try to get some debug output over the USART.

Hey guys, sorry for this being late but (belated) Happy New Year!
@TPSNT, that's a shame to hear! What do you think the results would be if it was done on an original XenoGC chip perhaps??
Either way, did you ever get around to your following step of using obtaining debug over USART???

Hey guys! Hi @TPSNT!
How is it going? Is there any updates on this by any chance??

Hi everyone!
I know that this thread is quuiiitteee old but I'm facing this problem too.
It's now impossible to find a qoob or a viper for the Q so I'm trying to adapt the xenogc to the Q.
I have made all the same steps as TPSNT : my building environnement is ok, modchip correctly wired to the Q, I put his values inside the source code, modify the procedure wich check the drive version.
But what I get is a red light blinking one time at startup, but after the Q is unable to read any disc.
As he was not sure about his value, I wanted to compare his value to the other dvd firmware : 04 06 08 but it's impossible to find binary files (or disassembled) for those drives.
Is there anyone who can provide it to me ?
Or anyone to check if TPSNT's values are correct ?
Thanks !

Hello @aje_fr!
No worries about it, glad to see there's some interest in this.
It's funny because like you I too was trying to see if we can get the XenoGC to work on the Panasonic Q, I did the exact thing (except inputting values), modded the machine with the XenoGC and like you it fails to read any disc!
Almost like bricking the Panasonic Q
I'm not quite sure if the values work, I mean were would you obtain them, even for the Q to begin with??

Swiss can dump drive firmware via the "System" device. You can do this on every retail version of the GameCube, including the Panasonic Q as long as you can boot homebrew on it.
Dump all drive firmwares, understand what those offsets in XenoGC mean, adapt them for the Q and then you might be in luck. Alternatively you can just play backup discs via Swiss on the Q without a modchip, as long as you have a means to boot Swiss (Action replay, SDML, IPL modchip).

Ahhh is this what you've done with Swiss and a Panasonic Q? Is that how you got your values perhaps emu_kidid?

Can the hyper boot patch the Panasonic Q? Since it’s a clone of the qoob pro at least I could gather I have a Panasonic q that I could never get working right it needs a new dvd drive and it will random resets I’ve had it forever just never got to it

HyperBoot doesn't do anything with the drive but Swiss can patch the drive for you if you'd just boot that (and in all scenarios here anyway Swiss would be the better choice).
