hubs do not work some people have reported that some time ago nintendont can only read directly from the usb ports.I'll go with a USB hub if that woks.
Is there a way to safely shrink a GC ISO, like just compressing the garbage data or a smaller dummy? I have plenty of space, but figured I'd ask. It bugs me a bit having next to useless data taking up some HDD space. I know DMToolbox does something like that, but from reading through the thread, it looks like that hurts performance.
This might be a dumb question, as I have no clue how NGC discs' filesystems are structured or what dependencies are in place.

I could swear I read something about wireless dualshock, but it looks like compatible bt controllers will be my only option.
DMtoolbox is the best tool as long as you choose the 32k alligment option so you dont break audiostreaming games while shrinking, there are only 5 or 6 games that dmtoolbox cant shrink.
I can't for the life of me get my Wii U Pro controller to work. It's detected by Nintendont as I can navigate the menus with it, but the moment I launch a game, the controller turns off, and when I turn it on again, the player 4 LED is lit, but no inputs work in game. I'm just using my Wii Classic Controller + Wiimote in the meantime, but would love to be completely wireless.
why is it bummer? lol it has like 95% compat to shrink isos perfectly with the 32k aligment except 4 or 5 games i know kirby air rider, skies of arcadia and like 2 or 3 more where it creates an oversized iso but like i said it shrinks well over 95% of all games perfectly.
is the wiiu pro totaly official? if its a fake/3rd party product then its normal to fail inside games.
To clarify, there is no such thing as compressing a GameCube ISO. When you shrink a GameCube ISO you are destructively removing the garbage data.
I was hoping there would be a way to just dummy the garbage data or put it in a container that just compresses the garbage data itself. I know removing it all together can break a lot of game and not just on the gamecube, but on some other platforms reliable ways have been found to get around that. Oh well, I'm not willing to sacrifice compatibility or performance just to free up a few GB.
Most performance issues are related to the media being used like a slow USB Flash drive not the actual shrunken ISO.
fyi, nintendont creates a ISO file offset cache list internally at game start so a different ISO size wont matter at all since seeking will cost nearly nothing.

yeah, the PS2 version is...erh... really, really bad compared with GC version. But it's something that happens often, even more with Sega related games. Sega Soccer Slam works much better on the cube, for example, and I own both PS2 and GC (Which made me angry to waste money on the PS2 version first, lol).
Although the PAL version I remember being pretty poor (No perfect framerate, visual problems, etc...). NTSC Gamecube version of Sonic Heroes is the way to go, at least for me.
And now I want to play that cheese factory again. I'll try the widescreen option, it may come in handy with a Sonic game, thanks for that!
For some reason, my usb gamecube controller adaptor (3rd party Gameseek) doesn't connect to nintendont although my ps3 controller using the usb plug does connect and work. I have an official gamecube controller so I don't know why my adaptor isn't working. The adaptor is a bit wierd though, as it only works when the controller I want to use is connected to the 3rd slot (i use it to play smash). Sadly, no more than 1 controller can be used at a time even though it has 4 slots
