What about SD-Boot? You can potentially get 2 games on one 2gb SD card after being trimmed with GCMtool, and SD geckos can be got from Dealextreme for about three dollars

Does not work with the Wii for booting backup GC Games.
The ISOs are not stored on the SD card, if that is what you are thinking.
If you can prove me wrong, I will be happy.
P.S.

Well that sucks, I thought for sure it would work. So why doesn't someone make a program where it loads gamecube games from an SD card through the memory card slot? When the wii goes into gamecube mode, it doesn't shut down the memory card, so it's perfect!
Tichinde925 said:SD-Boot seems to work with Wii. (Perhaps works best with v4 of MIOS / earliest version unpatched / or custom)
Compatibility List: http://wiki.scorpei.com/index.php/SD-Boot_compatibility_list
Nintendo blocked the SD Media Launcher from loading through the System Menu, so you need a loader to boot it. The Gamecube Backup Loader for Wii fits the description. Just buy the SD Media Launcher and use the Gamecube Backup Launcher to boot the disc.miketh2005 said:why do we need the GC backup launcher? what does it do? you put it on your SD card?
I read this too, but i didn't understand why a drive use two different commands for the same function?longtom1 said:because they removed a few commands(which were exploited) from the firmware of the drive I think
But the commands allowing it to read recordable discs without the encryption found on retail discs are gone. We can't get them back via a software hack because they were stored on the drive chipsetHiBit said:I read this too, but i didn't understand why a drive use two different commands for the same function?longtom1 said:because they removed a few commands(which were exploited) from the firmware of the drive I think
If we assume it's correct it should be possible to use another cIOS with the new commands.
Hmmm ...longtom1 said:I think they removed the dvd commands cause the drive was used for other electronics(integrated tv dvd player) or something
Hells Guardian said:the original drives contained a debugging command set that was used for just that.... The newest drive has this removed from it. We were able to exploit the drive's debugging commands to allow us to boot a disc without the retail signing from nintendo. With the exploited commands removed from the drive firmware we are unable to use them to load backups...... We can still use a USB loading system however this will not work for a Gamecube solution..... It is possible that the firmware of the drive could be modified with an appropriate hack similar to the one used to flash the Xbox drives However I doubt it will do much good.
