Hello!.
I own a gamecube (i have it 3-3.and half years now..), and i have many original games(RE/1/2/3/4,Mario,zelda...etc).
I think its time to get a soft mod , so , i started reading the guides.
Well , the guides are perfect , but...i cant find any of the games/soft mods like them.
I did a search on CodeJunkies , and i found these:
1.GC:ACTION REPLAY :

Get the SD Media Launcher, the 1gb version which comes WITH a 1gb SD, a usb memory card reader, and the GC dvd. From there, you need to get GCos 1.x and burn your backups to minidvd with imgburn at 1x.

you can only use a 'normal' dvd if you have modded your case to accept full sized dvd's, i.e. something like the icedcube case replacement.

Ok thanks , but i have 3 more questions for you(it seems that you're informed) :
1. The size of the mini discs is only 1.4gb! , does this matters?
2. Can you write in few lines how you play games?
I dont really understand what is that os , and , if you have to swap the discs(like in ps2)..
3. this MEDIA LAUNCHER:
http://us.codejunkies.com/shop/product.a...&l=1&ProdID=389
Has everything ?
Well , it says that it has "adapters" but..i just want to read your opinion..
Thanks for your help so far..

1. yes, gamecube games come on a mini-dvd, and gamecube can only load mini-dvds unless you got a viper case or icedcube case which would allow you to use full-sized dvds, but the gamecube can only read up to the 1.4gb mark.
2. Get the datel sd media launcher that you linked in #3, backup your gamecube game to a mini-dvd, get GCos 1.x (google for it) and put the .dol file on your sd card, put sd card into sd adapter, run sd media launcher dvd on your gamecube, load GCos 1.x, select 'boot dvd', put your backup in and play.
3. already answered in #2

the Datel SD media launcher comes with a small usb card reader and cable, no need for that. As far as PAL games on an NTSC system, I'm unsure. The SD card goes in the memory card, kinda like an Action Replay memory card with a slot for the SD card. No, you can't use the SD card as a memory card. I got my SD Media Launcher in a reasonable amount of time, although there are others that have had to wait a while to get it. Hope that answers MOST of your questions.

As far as playing NTSC games on a PAL system, you can try to use the 'force pal' feature of gcos 1.5 or 1.x, which is need to run backups anyhow ;)
