General
HyperBoot is a IPL Replacement modchip that came about in late 2019. The primary reason behind its existence appears to be to provide a cheap way to boot directly into homebrew on a GameCube. The official "BIOS" does not support booting of any sort of game backups or piracy. It is currently sold through badassconsoles and is the only IPL Replacement modchip for the GameCube at the time of writing this actively in production.
Official description
Inspired by the Qoob Pro, Hyperboot allows the fastest boot method possible for any homebrew located on an SD card. Simply turn on your console and your designated homebrew program is automatically launched and ready to use within 1 to 2 seconds.
Homebrew detection available on Slot A, Slot B, and Slot C (SP2) with ability to also load homebrew from USBGecko. The failsafe menu is displayed when homebrew program is not detected and its built-in software update capability is simple to use with all updates performed directly by the console itself.
This solution does not require a functional disc drive nor does it require a pre-configured memory card. No more wait times from soft exploits and no more opening and closing the lid.
