ODE replacement availability

Sup people! My interest in the gamecube and developing for it has recently been reignited and I was reading up on the developments in the past 4 years since I last played around with it. I've noticed there are new ODEs and a way to use as cards from the sp2 port. But I've been keeping an eye on the pages for the ODEs and they continue to stay in 'new stock soon' limbo..

Are these still being produced? Specifically hyperboot and gcloader (off the top of my head). They would seriously improve my build&test pipeline and remove the need to burn a new mini dvd with a newer swiss. Mine (version ~330 of swiss) is ancient and has several issues.

GC Loader developer here. It is still being produced, but the demand is high and, on top of that, production is delayed by the corona virus. There should be a steady availability eventually.

Edit: there will be another round of pre-orders this Thursday, see this post.

Hey meneerbeer! Thanks for the response, it's been a while :) interesting to hear that even the little guys are impacted by the virus!

Not so surprising, as nowadays everybody from top to bottom works with China, in a way or another.

Especially the little guys are hit. The big guys get priority. :D Hopefully, it is resolved soon and we will only have a couple of weeks delay from the initial plan.
