GCN Will this work for softmodding a GameCube?

[NoNAND]

Now I know I should educate myself a bit more and further on the subject beforehand spamming threads here but guys I came across something that appears to be a SD card to memory card adapter. Found this online.

't appears to be some thing that takes SD card on a GameCube memory card right?
Has anyone had any of those things and did they work for you?
I've got two spare GameCube to softmod by the way.

Thank you.

I did some further digging and research and it turns out that I also need this SD to SP2 adapter and an action replay.
Will be purchasing the goods from eBay?
Know any reliable shopper Alexander?

If you have a modded Wii and a copy of Smash bros (or another save exploitable game) you can inject the hacked save into that Gamecube sd to memory card adapter and on your Wii, then use smash bros to boot into Swiss on your Gamecube

For working with SWISS you only need the WII /Gamecube Version of the Action Replay



(NOT the GameCube only Version please !!)



or

SD Media Launcher



With this you have Access to the SD Card and boot SWISS.

The SD to SP2 Adapter is newer and also needs an intact DVD Drive and a Solution to Boot SWISS first.It is used INSTEAD of the FRONT SD Card Reader.


Unfortunately the SD Launcher and Wii/Gamecube Action Replay are very,yery hard to get....
Thank you.

Thanks for everything!
Hard?
I found one on eBay for just £20 + 6 shipping.

It was the Wii action replay version as well.

Congratulations.
Please be sure is is ok and not to scratched (I am pretty sure you know how "picky" the GameCube Drives are....)

I found some on Amazon.com around 20-25 $.

Thank you and
Good luck on your "Catch".

Yeah damn right. GameCube drives are picky eaters. They don't like the textures of some drives haha.
Amazon is more convenient indeed but I'm not sure whether they ship to albania or not.
Depends on the seller.

Some ships to Austria...I consider to buy one for myself.
I was little "dumb" and gave away my Xeno chipped Gamecube and all that SD Card Stuff...
Yesterday I found an intact GameCube and the WiiSD Part.

 

[razinx]

Only just learning about the SD2SP2 today and wanted to know if I only need the AR disc, or the card as well? I have a Xeno modded GC already, would I be able to just use a burned AR disc to gain access to the SD on the SD2SP2?

GC version of Action Replay will also work, you can type in a 50-ish line long code that will load SDLoad from there you can launch Swiss from a SD(non HC) card and swap to a SDHC card (SDLoad doesn't support SDHC)
Bit of a hassle though so direct support for launching homebrew is much easier (I assume the Wii version has that from the way he specified it had to be that version)

You can use both that adapter and a SD2SP2 if you like, but they both do the same thing, the SD2SP2 just doesn't take up a memory card slot, it's not as widely supported in homebrew though.

Well thanks.
I'll go for the Wii Support version of the action replay.
And both worlds. SD2SP2 and the WiiSD memory card adapter

you can still get SD Media Launcher from CodeJunkies:

[nolimits59]

Why do people still need SD Media or action replay when there is SO MANY save hacked games ? Smash bros and twilight princess to only say 2 names.

They are a hassle though, and you need some way to get the hacked save on there in the first place...

Huh, didn't know that. I heard the PAL version was still possible to get but the USA one was hard to find and expensive.

Yeah they're less "plug and play", but there are like 10games if not more IIRC, and pretty much everyone that have a GC have a Wii let's be fair, it's a 30€ system on any second hand website (system alone) that play literaly a shitload of other system with homebrew, if you don't have one you pass along a good way to play a lot of games.

I much rather use an Action Replay disc than a much more expensive game, i can leave the AR in the system and be done with it.

For this kind of case of course it's normal, but if you already have the game (wich is most likely the case, because who doesnt have smash bros, pokemon coloseum, twilight princess, windwaker, splinter cell, pandora tomorrow, Fzero GX or animal crossing?) why not doing with it ?

I say it because a lot of first answers to the people asking to softmod is "YOU NEED AN AR", this is wrong and people should talk more about the save hacks that FIX94 gave us.
