What is it for? Couldn't you load homebrew with a action replay and some SD card reader thingy for the game cube? or something... the sd gecko?

So you can't do it without a mod chip like wii can? Or least some homebrew loader? Honestly i dunno much about homebrew loader except the ones that seem to be ported to wii like the genesis and snes emulators but maybe there is something possibile?

I was thinking the same, maybe some soft-mod like wii..but wii have SD card slot, so for a gc i presume youll need some adapter that is i presume rare and i presume expensive xD but idk, thats why i asked for alternatives..i know nothing of GC hacking except that Xeno chip... i always used original discs

I think you want something like this.

Is made by datel the same people who make action replay for gamecube and such. http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/GameCubeWii-SD-Media-Launcher__EF000589.aspx#

You can find them on ebay i guess, or some online market. I think any Memory card SD adaptor like this should work, but you still may need boot disk, again, never had gamecube homebrew, since i can do it with wii, Why don't you get a wii instead?

All you need is an Memory Card SD Adapter and an Action Replay Disc. The downfall of the SD Media Launcher Software itself is that it cannot read or recognize any card over 4GB in size. So you need to swap SD cards after accessing homebrew or get 2 SD adapters, one for the 128MB-4GB card with .dol files and another for a larger SD card with games, .gcm or .iso. The adapters branded "WiiSD" are confirmed to work on GameCube, but have not been tested Wii. They also will not work as a memory card.
The latest version of the Action Replay Disc and the SD Media Launcher Disc are one and the same. I believe that you need an SD inserted with a .dol file on it before booting Action Replay or "FREELOADER" will not appear for you to boot the .dol file.

For most users, gamecube needs a boot disk every time. There's no known system menu exploit.
Xeno helps by letting you burn homebrew to DVD-R.

Other modchips like Wasp Fusion and Qoob Pro go further, they have ways to run apps without any disc.

There's no way that's legit for so cheap and from China? It looks so shady.

Its a modchip, it does the job, besides its 7 bucks... most clones its literally the same, just in mass production, and it does the job.

True enough but if it were me I'd look for a seller from my own country in case something goes wrong the return would be easier.

I bought 3 xeno gc on ebay... they worked for like 10 minutes, then they stopped working.

Your best route would be to play off SD Media. Seriously. Works like a charm for me

But how would you burn those mini DVD? My drive isn't small enough for those discs.

You wouldn't -- you'd put ISOs on SD cards and play them directly, no disc required.

You put them on an SD card.

Check the disc tray. Most PC drives have an area marked to fit mini DVDs.
It is possible, if difficult, for a non modified Gamecube to read them (Swiss has such an option). Nintendo's factory laser settings aren't tuned for it.

Well when I looked it up for playing games with SD media launcher everyone was using burned discs. But okay I was just curious.

I agree that's probably a knock-off. IIRC the real Xeno's were selling at 20-25 dollars (maybe more?) the last time they were available at retail. But as ScarletDreamz said, it's very possible it would work fine anyway.
