IPL Replacements were the first modchips for the GameCube. Basically, the Mask ROM which contains the IPL could be overridden to load unsigned code from a separate flash chip on the EXI bus.
Technical details on the replacement can be found in YAGCD Section 2.8.3
Many IPL Replacements also replaced the disc drive firmware by sending a "sudo password" from the Gekko, namely MATSHITA DVD-GAME.[1] These DVD-compatibility IPL Replacements were succeeded by drivechips.
