hi

Today I got the WiiKey SD Adapter for gamecube, this device allows to connect a SD card to the gamecube memory card port this adapter is used with the SDLoad application to launch DOL executables to the GameCube

The GameCube Linux page has links to DOL files which can be uploaded using the SDLoad+SDAdapter method

I'll edit this post with photos soon

December 30th 2008 - GameCube Broadband Adapter (GC-BBA)

Broadcast message from user@localhost
hi

Today I received a couple of GameCube Broadband Adapters, they are very rare to obtain (and a little too expensive for a 10/100 Mbps ethernet adapter).

One of them is detected in the gamecube but I'm unable to connect with it. The other works fine

There is a DOL-Loading method called PSOLoad, with this method we send a DOL file to a game called Phantasy Star Online which uses the BBA to play online. As far as I know this is the only "online-playable" game for the GameCube

The BBA also serves to rip games, but I'm not focused in that, since I only play one game (Phantasy Star Online, I hope to get it soon ^-^)
