usb-boot

emu_kidid · #1 05-13-2008, 11:13 AM

Application from a while back which I never released:

Code:

USB-BOOT.
Run GC backups via USBGecko.

Usage:

Insert USBGecko into slot B and connect it to PC.

Load USB-BOOT.dol via your favourite method. 

Have a GC game in the drive.

Hit A when prompted.

When the screen asks, on the PC drag a ISO/GCM into USB-BOOT.exe


Notes:
Speed is terrible but compatability is pretty good once it works

Enjoy.

I can't offer support on this as I coded it quite some time ago :P

Oh yes please Front-SD, it is possible?

It's been tailored for the USB Gecko only.

wraggy · #5 05-13-2008, 02:25 PM

is this for gamecube and wii or gamecube only ?

dont wanna screw up a newspost :P

hmm ok my idea is dumb.

because you have only 2 memcard slots and you would need sd gekko and usb gekko when you combining both methods in one program and then you dont have a port for the memcard.

Search this: Starcube GC Simulator Preview Edition. It's a iso loader that works using the BBA on the GC.

To clear up some peoples minds and to avoid any more lame PM's..

"NO, there will NOT be a WII version, or a GC version with some magically enabled wifi loading!"

Svpe has already released a wifi/tcp loader for homebrew. Source code is at http://repo.or.cz/w/svpe-wii.git

It loads elfs/dols from your PC. Exe's are here
The Wii server app is here: http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=H...pps/TCP_Loader (by Svpe)
The Windows Client is here: http://www.henke37.cjb.net/downloads/tcpload.zip (by henke37 and dasda)

It only loads homebrew elfs/dols over the network from your PC to the Wii. Possibly this could be made into a Strarcube type tcp loader for isos however it is doubtful you will see this functionality from anyone in Wii homebrew scene (if it is even possible..)

Back on topic:
nice release Emu-Kidid. Great hobby you have there.

So bad we are in the Gamecube forum and I don't own a wii to test that

Just posting here so it is known that there is a desire for a better version of this application, I guess it can't hurt.

emu_kidid · #15 08-31-2008, 01:11 AM
