gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

Hi there,

I have come back to my GC, and I wanted to test the newest SWISS. However, flashing it to my Viper Extreme is proving complicated after all these years!
Is there a way to flash into the Viper Extreme on GNU/Linux? Cobramanager seems to work with WINE, but it won't connect to the chip, no matter what.
lsusb reprts it as:
(So it connects to the FTDI chip but the client connection can't be completed)

Maybe there's an alternative to Cobramanager?
Any help is appreciated.

You should pass the device through to a virtualbox running Windows, wine can't use USB as far as I know (unless the application uses libusb in a specific manner).

@Streetwalker: Thanks! Made it work under Virtualbox with a Window$7 system.
