Who would’ve guessed it actually works.
For those into some of the GCN hacks going around, and have a spare Gamecube sitting on the shelf…
As far as I can tell…
NO Wii required.
NO more wasting discs to burn; play right off the SD Card.
NO hardware mods/chips.
For those of you doing it the Wii-Homebrew way, and you’re comfortable with that, that’s fine. But for anyone else, if you’d like for me to write up a guide or make a video tutorial or something, feel free to note in the comments and I’ll gladly get around to it when exams are done.
Note that you WILL need an original copy of the game. Upside is, you won’t have to burn any discs afterwards. Sounds pretty rewarding, if you ask me.
Is this for real? Where? How?
Um, how would you use an SD card with a Gamecube…?
I assume this uses an adapter to plug an SD card in the GCN memory card slot? I know they exist, and I think they all work the same way.
Grr… Google tells me you have to by this SD Media Launcher thing.
SD Media Launcher’s a utility from the guys who made Action Replay, so yeah, it’s something you have to buy. But if you want to save tons of burned discs, then I’d say it’s worth it.
Rough list of what you need (all obvious things included):
-SD Card (2GB; formatted to FAT, not FAT32)
-SD Media Launcher (2GB version)
-Super Smash Bros. Melee (actual copy, not burned)
-Gamecube (…)
-Gamecube controller (…)
-Some free time to set this stuff up.
There’re some things that need to be in the SD Card… Once I make a full-blown tutorial, hopefully this weekend, I’ll make something more thorough.
Niiiiiiiceeeeeeee
Wait so is there a no burned disc sd card method for Homebrew?
Sadly, no. That’s what I was hoping for 🙁
Very nice find! I definitely need to get one of those now 😀
Neato. Can somebody link me to a sell page for the SD-cube adapter thing so I can show it to relatives for Christmas stuff?
And yes, guide would be extremely appreciated!

All you need to know, in there (includes SDML links). 🙂
I like you.
Wait, what if I got the SD Media launcher and put it in my Wii’s Gamecube memory card slot?
