Thats awesome!

Just wondering how long did it take to get it?
I'm making a message here because I bought one of these a couple weeks ago.
It took roughly 2 weeks to ship, and I live in the United States. It does not come with the USB cable, so you have to get one yourself. The cable required is a Type A to Mini Type B Male to Male 5 PIN. The exact one that I bought is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-6FT-2...B-Male-to-Male-5-PIN-for-Camera-/391488810316
I'm currently using it with the newest drivers from the FTDI site (2.12.24) with the 64 bit version of the ftd2xx.dll in my gecko.net folder (required renaming it). My operating system is Windows 7 64bit Pro. I actually ran into an issue where it wouldn't work at first, so I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers which ended up giving me a blue screen. Afterwards, I rebooted and reinstalled the drivers, and then replugged it back in. It worked fine after this.
As stated before, I am using gecko.net with this, specifically version 0.66.8. I am using this with a Wii to hack GameCube games. The only way I could get this to work was to install a CMIOS, and then use Neogamma with the debugger enabled.
As far as I can tell, everything works perfectly, even breakpoints. I also tested this with some VC games in Gecko OS, and they also seem to work fine. I haven't tested this with Wii games or on an actual GameCube, but I'm sure it'll work fine.
Overall, this USB Gecko clone works great.

I understand why it's called a clone, but it's more a repro - the code is OSS and so are all the schematics, clone sounds like he just RE'd and did it himself.
And I've used it well with Wii games and screenshots and such in GDN

Have you tried using it with Gamecube games yet? If it works, then I have a request for you.

You only play your games from disc then, I assume? Let me guess - you don't have a big enough usb drive space for DIOS MIOS games, huh?Don't have any
Yes, I almost never play digital. I don't have a usb hard drive available either unfortunately
