Any uses for a dvd drive-less gamecube?

stuntpenguin007 · Post by **stuntpenguin007** » Fri May 22, 2009 10:14 pm

I was going to relocated the dvd drive on my gamecube, and got about 1/4 of the way through and decided it would be way too much work, I have to go to the computer to look at the pinout for every wire, and I'm using 30 gauge so the wires keep coming off.

anyways is there anything cool I can do with it or should I keep at the dvd drive relocation?

There *were* a bunch of guys working on replacing the drive with either a hdd, compact flash or sd card and supposeduly had things working. But it seems nothing more came of it.

I believe you *can* load games from a sd card, using one of the later generation of mod chips, but I think you actually need a disc in to boot it up or something first.

1. Yeah, but pretty much everyone dropped off the face of the earth, I have little contact with ER, but he's in a tight spot right now, best to let it wait, and simmer.

2. SDBoot is really slow, and from what I know is the only current way of doing it. Not worth it.
