GameCube not booting to default menu with Picoboot installed

[ThaKarra]

Hi all,

I've been doing a heap of Picoboot installs for GameCube's lately, but they've all been on DOL-001 models using SD2SP2 adapters. Today I done my first install on a DOL-101 model and because there is no port for an SD2SP2 adapter, I've been forced to use a GC2SD adapter (which is fine).

So I've just finished the install and it boots to SWISS perfectly fine with the SD card adapter inserted. However when the adapter isn't inserted into the console and I try and boot, it just hangs on "No DOL loaded. Rebooting into original IPL..." - Now I was under the impression that if there was no adapter detected then it will just boot into the default GameCube menu. This doesn't seem to be the case for me.

If I boot INTO SWISS with the SD card adapter inserted, I can simply exit SWISS and the default GameCube menu will load... But I'm still 99.9% sure from previous installs that if there is no adapter inserted and the console powers on, then it just loads the default.
