Gamecube Linux Question

Hi. I have a Gamecube modified with the Viper chip. How do I put programs like Linux and homebrew on my Gamecube? Thanks!

I believe you just burn it onto a DVD-R and run it that way. I don't think there is a way to have storage on a Gamecube other than memory cards and DVD-R's.

Can you store it on an SD card?

Yes, you'll need SD Load burned to disk, and a 'Gecko' adapter.

Alright, thanks! I've been trying to find a way to breathe some life back into my Gamecube and I'm hoping this will be it!

If you can, try to get recordable mini dvds. Because a full size DVD won't fit in a game cube unless you mod the case to do so

I've heard on GameCube homebrew forums that Ritek are supposed to be the best mini-DVD-Rs to use on a GameCube.
