towmater Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) What I ended up doing last month was to buy "SD media launcher" for ~$15 from the Datel website, and then run the Gameboy Reloaded software, which has many new features as well. This is not an emulator, it enhances the existing Gameboy Player hardware. https://www.gc-forever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2782?utm=rc?postview=full Edited August 19, 2017 by towmater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a much better alternative to the pricey boot discs, especially since the thing towmater posted lets you run games in 240p with cleaner visuals than the GBP disc. You can either use an SD Media Launcher (which I think ships from the UK? not sure), or you can use a WiiKey or SD Gecko and the Action Replay which is basically what the SD Media Launcher is: an SD Gecko and AR packaged in a fancy way.

Jess Ragan Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 What I did was mod a Wii (I have plenty), install GCMM, use that software to install an exploit on a memory card, then pop in a game vulnerable to the exploit. Load the save on your memory card and you're in business. First I used Smash Bros., but then I switched to Agent Under Fire to reduce wear and tear on what's become a very valuable disc. What's nice about this method is that it'll fit on even the smallest GameCube memory cards. 59 blocks actually translates to 512K, roughly one third the size of a floppy disc. That ain't much, but Game Boy Interface and the exploit WILL fit on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradd1978 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thanks for all the info! So if I use the SD Media Launcher do I still need to use the Gameboy Player attached to play the Gameboy games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jce3000gt Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Wait, I'm feeling dumb here. I cannot really figure out what that GameBoy reloaded thing is. Is it an emulator that rips and runs the ROMs off of the cartridges? Or is it some sort of better software than the default Nintendo code that runs the GBA games? So you can use like an Action Replay or that odd SD memory card adaptor thing instead of using the GameBoy Player disc? That's the gist of what I'm getting?

icemanxp300 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 If you are interested I could sell you a modded system w/a xeno chip and then you could just make your own start-up disc. I could send you the file. I made an ISO of my start-up disc, it's clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jce3000gt Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I don't even know what a xeno chip is. Ha! Plus I'm only going to be getting a GameCube that I can get to output HDMI since all three TVs we have do not like old video signals.

NE146 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 It was the stupidest thing that Nintendo made a friggin DISC necessary for that piece of hardware. I still have mine but even when I used the thing years ago, many times could not find the required disk anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradd1978 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Updated original post - worked out a trade for a Start Up disc. Still need the Gameboy Player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoolDave Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Old thread and sorry I didn't mean to take it over... I know but, running into the same thing. I want to add a Gameboy player to my Gamecube but, I refuse to pay $80+ for a CD. A xeno GC boad is like $4-12 (v1 or 2.0) and a ISO (thtat I need to find), or spend $80 on a disk before the $10 part. Is a Mod with a ISO the most affordable way to do this, or is there a way to get the disc for like $20 someplace ?
