Re: DoLaunchers: McLoader and Brosexec

Yes, sd gecko is a memory card sd adapter, just like wiiDS. That's the easiest setup to update since you won't need to ever update the memory card exploit (and uses less blocks)

Re: DoLaunchers: McLoader and Brosexec

I've recompiled (yet again) brosexec and brosexecconf with sd2sp2 support. Now I'm using libogc2. There was aparently a bug in libogc where sd2sp2 can be mounted just once per console boot. Any further attempt to mount sd2sp2 from a libogc dol file will fail. Probably the few people using this haven...

Re: SDLoad (Slot A and B)

I wanted to reformat my sdcard for sdloader for my own reasons and found that at somepoint sdpatch was ported to linux: http://www.gc-linux.org/wiki/SDload#Pre ... om_Windows

Any chance we can still find that port?

Re: DoLaunchers: McLoader and Brosexec

Here's NiHuSu's version compiled.

I find it strange iplboot fails with sd2sp2, it uses the same code for slot A, B and sd2sp2 devices. I can't recompile right now since I don't have clang on my windows setup.

Re: DoLaunchers: McLoader and Brosexec

For what I saw in the code, NiHuSu's version tries slotA, then slotB, then sd2sp2.

In any case iplboot is a better option (I assume you tested and works as intended from game exploits)

Re: DoLaunchers: McLoader and Brosexec

What are the benefits of exfat on gamecube though? I don't see the 4gB limit for gamecube as a limitation, and sector size and max partition size shouldn't be an issue even nowadays, also high capacity cards can be formated to fat32. Do exfat and fatFS have better reading times? Then I would underst...

Re: DoLaunchers: McLoader and Brosexec

Now that libogc supports SD2SP2, and ExFat format becomes supported by more and more homebrews, it would be really nice to see a big update for those Dolaunchers that runs autoexec.dol from an SD card. I suppose SD2SP2 support won't be that big of a deal, at first, while a new file format may need ...

Re: GBA Link Cable Dumper

For the GB/GBC games: I tested a few of them and each time I put a cartridge in the slot, the GBA reset. I THINK if you put them in the GBA it resets it to boot into 8-Bit-Z80-Mode cause the GBA part use an ARM processor. :idea: GBC games use different voltage. Also, there's a phisical switch that ...

Re: DoLaunchers: McLoader and Brosexec

Does swiss allow you to boot other homebrew isos (i.e. an emulator)? Does "brosexec" work or the same happens? (broseexec is the one that will just load autoexec.dol from sdcard) From what I understand, you seem to have a modchip setup and you want a simple way to load things from sdcard b...

Besides not seeing the point in using goomba instead of a GC gameboy emulator (except for awesomeness), does this mean you could send and run most gba homebrew without needing a flashcard?

Re: DoLaunchers: McLoader and Brosexec

If you are going to boot from iso, why not directly use swiss instead?

I've never tried making a hombrew iso, but there should be a prograt to make one from dol files lying on the forums.

D'oh! I forgot to do that. It's working fine now, thanks! Apparently, dol2gci cares about the name of the input file, and simply renaming the output file to boot.gci does not work. For the record, dol2gci gets the filename from the dol file and puts it on the gci header. The filename in the gci hea...

Re: Home Bros.

The sd adaptor can't work as a memory card. I don't know if swiss supports memory card emulation though.

2GB is the limit for non-sdhc cards

Look for dolaunchers, install the simple brosexec to memory card, put swiss or whatever you want as autoexec.dol
