Brand New - U.S. Seller - Fast Shipping! - The GC Loader is a optical drive emulator and GameCube DVD drive replacement that allows you boot games (
ripped form your own personal collection) and homebrew titles on DOL-001 and DOL-101 model GameCube consoles. The GC Loader device acts exactly like an original DVD drive, but you no longer do you need to worry about when your laser will burn out on your DVD drive. The GC Loader is a full replacement and acts exactly* like an original DVD drive but uses memory cards for its media for storing games. It also even reduces game load times. Memory cards between 4GB and 1TB are supported, and installation is quick and easy. You simply disassemble the Gamecube console (
DOL-001 and DOL-101), remove the DVD drive and replace it with this GC Loader circuit board. The great thing about this device is that there's no soldering needed and all that is required is a small screwdriver. In stock and will ship immediately

Swiss
The Latest version of Swiss r743 supports the GCLoader and can be downloaded from the github. https://github.com/emukidid/swiss-gc/releases Make sure to you choose the correct region for your gamecube.
Write support to the GCLoader is not 100% working. This means to use features in Swiss, such as force resolution a separate SD card device is needed, such as an SDGecko or SD2SP2 to store these settings. Write support will be added very soon to the GCLoader so these extra devices will not be needed in the future.
Clean Rip
This software can used to rip your existing library to SD. https://wiibrew.org/wiki/CleanRip
Priacy is not condoned and this product shall not be used for this purpose.
Capability:
Many titles have been tested but there might be some issues that still exist that we have not found. The firmware is easily updated so if there are any problems they will be fixed. We expect and strive for 100% compatibility.
Installation:
Simply tear down the Gamecube unit with screws, swap the DVD Drive with the GC-Loader and reassemble. A 4.5mm gamebit driver is needed to remove the gamecube case. A gamebit driver can be purchased when checking out if you need one.
Known Issues:
Write support to the GCLoader - This will allow Swiss patches to work without SDGecko or SD2SP2
Updates:
Updating is very simple, just drag the update file onto the memory card and launch the update.
