    Hacking Homebrew GCN PicoBoot - GameCube IPL replacement modchip using Raspberry Pi Pico

    Yea no problem. I'll work on that tonight. I was thinking this weekend that if we wanted to add features like support for a config file, .CLI files, etc., that probably warrants a new repo/project. IPLBoot's original purpose was to be as minimal of a DOL launcher as possible (to fit on modchips).

    @hdx The first 2 work. The third does not. I double checked continuity. Pico powers on but video out is blank screen. Only difference I can figure is the extra 6 inches of wire.

    Hacking Homebrew GCN PicoBoot - GameCube IPL replacement modchip using Raspberry Pi Pico

    Made some updates to iplboot and created a pull request: https://github.com/seewood/iplboot/pull/1 Added support for all controllers and buttons plus some other features. Got it compiled and flashed to my pico now. Works great! Uploaded the binaries if anyone wants them. Experimental so use at...

    Hacking Homebrew GCN PicoBoot - GameCube IPL replacement modchip using Raspberry Pi Pico

    @hdx Got a weird one for you: Could the length of the wiring cause it not to work? It works every time when I plug the wires straight into the pico. But if I add a 6" extension it never works! I confirmed continuity with my multimeter...

    I can mount a button on the side as well! Kidding. Yea as I said I'm not sure if I was being clever or practical (or neither). Very easy to re-route the wiring regardless. As I am developing and testing my custom fork of IPLBoot, it is nice having it so accessible. Though I could simply keep...

    Good advice. I only have 4 pin connectors on hand right now so I just made due. Expecting to fix it in the future. And yup, can always move the pico.

    Ah cool. New as of 3 days ago: https://github.com/seewood/iplboot/commit/a3012393352d93b73acf8bbb2216b49c0c674df9 I'll be forking and submitting a pull request soon. I am in a unique situation in which my P1 controller port is non-functioning and would like to add support for the other...

    Installed. Works like a charm. A few tips for installing on a DOL-101 specifically: I don't think you have to actually remove the heatsink. You must remove the screws that go through the heatsink and secure the motherboard to the bottom chassis so you can access the underside of the...

    Hacking Homebrew GCN PicoBoot - GameCube IPL replacement modchip using Raspberry Pi Pico

    I always remove cards from my GC when traveling so they don't break (e.g. going to friend's house). It would just be nice to know that I don't have to worry about it if I don't need Swiss. I'd use a SD2SP2 but I have a DOL-101. Nice! I assume this means if there is no SD at all it will go to...

    Hacking Homebrew GCN PicoBoot - GameCube IPL replacement modchip using Raspberry Pi Pico

    This is amazing! You are amazing! Ordering my pico now. QQ: What happens if you try to boot without SDGecko or SD2SP2? Or if ipl.dol is missing? Does it just boot original IPL? Don't want my GC to be unusable if I forget or lose my SDGecko. Edit: Tested. It boots to official IPL/GameCube menu...
