Linux on the Nintendo GameCube and Wii

Hi,
  I interested in running linux on my gamecube.  I am wondering if the
gc-linux kernel has support for Nintendo's SDmemory card adaptor.=20
Would it be worth getting rather than another memory card I saw with a
usb connector?  Does the SDmemory card adaport work with GCOS .dol?=20
Thanks!

Cheers,
Adam

Re: [Gc-linux-devel] gc linux SD memory card adaptor From: Adam Miller <aemiller@gm...> - 2006-02-08 17:10 According to the site, cubeboot-tools-0.2 can be used to make discs that are bootable without the need for a replacement IPL like GCOS.=20 Is this accurate? What is meant by "drivechips"? Is there any documentation on using cubeboot-tools-0.2?

Re: [Gc-linux-devel] gc linux SD memory card adaptor From: Christian Berg <xeniac@gm...> - 2006-02-08 22:16 Hello! CDs and DVDs are normaly written from the inside to the outside. Gamecube Disks have the Data from the Outside to the Inside. A simple but quite effective trick to prevent copies. As i know you need an ModChip to to Bootup you homebrew DVDs. The Chip takes control of the Laser so you could read normal DVDs with the GC. The Best Documentation for this can be found on Mod-that-cube. If you do not want to touch your cube, buy a Networkadaptor.

Re: [Gc-linux-devel] gc linux SD memory card adaptor From: Adam Miller <aemiller@gm...> - 2006-02-09 16:08 So this is what I have. 1.) A gamecube with power cord, controller and AV cables 2.) Nintendo gamecube network adaptor 3.) Mini DVD-Rs 4.) A dual boot PC with Fedora Core 4 x86_64 and Windows XP I do not want to do any hardware mods to my gamecube, so I'm trying to figure out what else I need in order to boot homebrewed discs. Which of the following will work? 1.) Nintendo gamecube SDmemory card adaptor 2.) Phantasy Star online 1 or 2 3.) A 3rd party gamecube memory card with USB Thanks for the help!

However, you can run homebrew code from an SD card / GameCube memory card adapter using the Action Replay bootloader. Cheers, Shaun

Re: [Gc-linux-devel] gc linux SD memory card adaptor From: Christian Berg <xeniac@gm...> - 2006-02-09 17:41 The SD-Card Adapter Alone does not work. The original GC Bios can only Boot GC-Discs. The Easiest Way IMHO would be Datel's MAX Drive Pro or an Action Replay Disc with the SD Loader. After this step you could boot Linux over the Network and administer it over SSH.

Re: [Gc-linux-devel] gc linux SD memory card adaptor From: Adam Miller <aemiller@gm...> - 2006-02-11 01:53 Once I have used Action Replay to create the SDload memory card, will I need the action replay disc ever again?

Yes, you need the Action Replay disc as well as the memory card with the SDload Action Replay codes stored on it. Cheers, Shaun
