DVD-SD Backup Utility 0.1g (sddvd)

[emu_kidid]

SD-DVD 0.1g is a Gamecube DVD Disc to SD Card dumper for the Nintendo Gamecube which was coded by softdev in late 2007.

- Dump games in about 15 minutes at about 2mb/s to SD Card
- Only standard SD cards are supported up to 2GB in size (SDHC is not)
- Creates clean dumps, even for XenoGC users
- Supports Action Replay discs too

Since I am a newbie, I do not feel ashamed for what I am going to ask. After I dump a GAMECUBE game, I obtain a .001 archive, what are the steps I have to do in order to burn it in a mini-dvd or to use it on my sd via sd-boot?Thanks.

there's a .pdf included with this download which explains your question

Q. How do you join the files ?
A. On Windows, your best bet is HJSplit. For other platforms, MacOSX and *nix use cat.

I didn´t download my file from this site, that´s why I didn´t have the pdf document, but thanks anyway.
I had already tried with the hjsplit, but I got a .joined file, my cuestion is :what´s next?, just change the extension to .gcm or is there any other step?
Please, help me guys.

is there any tool which will verify gamecube DVD's without saving on sd? i got few suspicious clean dvd's and want to check if all is ok

[Sypha]

Bah, too bad you can only use the slot A. I only an internal homemade sd reader and it's set on Slot B

[Hells Guardian]

Sypha that's a bummer have you considered buying one? BTW I have to ask is that a resident evil pic as your avatar?

Not worked for me. DVD-SD allways asks for a SD.

[liquitt]

tell us something about your setup...

[Dr.Wily]

- PAL GC
- Official Nintendo SD adapter
- SD 2Gb (non sdhc) (slot A & B)
- Tried from PSO exploit and direct boot from QOOB chip.

how's the sd card formatted?

[kevstah2004]

Try inserting the sd adaptor after it's loaded.

[emu_kidid]

It shouldn't matter how it's formatted, the tool formats it every time. Make sure you're actually using the tool posted in the first post and not my dvd-to-sd program which was quite bad.

Also, a few things to consider, is it a Japan made microSD (or microSD at all plugged via an adapter)? These are known to have weird out of spec variations to their response that they give the GC.

Tried another application with this SD card, does it work? (that'll rule out a bad SDGecko).

You'r right. I use a 2Gb µSD with adapter but it's works with some other app like Swiss or SDLoad.

Yes, DOL files loading fine through Swiis (under a certain size) and some GCM to. Tried with and without modchip.

[liquitt]

i had a similar problem, all the apps, emus and roms worked from the card, but no game.
got a better card (sandisk) and voila, i can boot games!

Finallyyyyyyy!!!! I made dump a my Megaman Anniversary Collection, I joined the chunks with HJ Split and I answered my last question: I replaced the extension of the file for .iso extension (it would have been easier if someone would have told me, but nobody knows). Now I´m going to test the file with Swiss.
Thanks for your help, guys.
