Because your stance is idiotic, suck it up.

I know it's really, really hard for you...but try not to be a colossal cunt.

I finally broke down and used my Wii to install the file onto my GC Memory Card, but I'm not pleased about it. It may be a minor quibble to you, but when I power on my GC to play a GB, GBC, or GBA game, it actually ANNOYS me to search through a Swiss menu to load up GBI. I realize that, in the grand...

...except that's exactly what I don't want to do. *sigh*. Guess I'll just use that outdated gbi-20150508 from earlier in the thread.

It's in the extra package (boot.gcm)

...Except that it's not a GBI disc, it's a Memory Card Boot Disc. Loading it just goes back to the GameCube Startup screen.

Excellent, just discovered that myself. Thanks!

There's an ISO included for booting from a GameCube Memory Card or SD Card Adapter.

I just downloaded the gbi-20181208 zip file (most recent) and I'm not seeing any ISOs.

Having loads of issues with that GC Bootable Disc GUI software. Won't actually make a bootable .ISO no matter what - like it actually goes through the motions, but doesn't actually create an .ISO. Would it be too much trouble for the OP to include an .ISO of each GBI iteration in the first post for ...

Ahh, the Wii version. Mind if we ask you to document (with pics) your install process?

This is why I don't drill straight through PCBs.

I actually drilled a hole in the GC mainboard to route the wires through Poor megalomaniac is going to pass out when he reads this haha I actually left one of the heatsink screw holes empty and routed the controller wire through it. I don't think I have the cojones to drill through the mainboard.

The first thing that comes to mind is "did you wait for the 'verified' message in fpgaconf.exe"? Second, did you make sure that the COM port was the correct one? Thirdly, did you select the right board from FPGAconf.exe's menu? It needs to be the Pluto-IIx, of course. Fourthly, be sure you...

Okay, figured it out. The unregulated power line got clamped hard enough to touch a ground plane and grounded out. Hah. Stupid me. I'll check the 2.3 update later - going to the city with my lady to pick up booze!

Okay, so I loaded up the dvi-p2xh-gc-2.3.bit file, used the correct COM port, made sure the board selected was the Pluto 2x-200, and programmed it using the Configure FPGA button. Unplugged, went to test...nothing. No lights on the board. And now, when I plug the FT232 board into the HDMI Video boar...

I have the programming cables from KNJN.com, but what program are you using to update the board? Vivendo Design Suite doesn't recognize the FT232R USB UART, and I'm a bit frustrated, since the KNJN documentation talks about FPGAconf.exe...but has no place to acquire it. And it certainly wasn't in th...

Just got my Pluto-IIx from KNJN.com. Everything is hooked up, and I'm getting video, but even though the controller wire is there (and not grounded out - I had that happen, and the controller wouldn't function at all), no button combination will enable the OSD. Everything works fine, just no menu fo...

I'm only a novice-to-average solder monkey, so excuse me if I'm asking something stupid. What I'm wondering is this: We KNOW the pinout of the MXB012355 chip, right? Why don't you build an adapter for an IC programmer that can read it, dump the HEX data, and then burn it to a more easily found chip?...
