    1. You do not necessarily need a modchip, but you do need some way of booting DOL files with your gamecube (Max Drive PRO, Gecko SD or mod chip)
    2. Yes
    3. Yes
    4. Your burning method is fine, except I've never heard of that burning program before (I use nero myself)

    i recently downloaded the update to fceugc (3.0.8) and i cant find any info on how to inject a rom into fceugx-gc.dol, from what i been reading i have to do this in order to get the thing to work. I tried to use just the fceugx-gc.dol but nothing happens. Could anyone give instructions on how to do this, thank you

    So all I have to do is have an SD card of any brand then place my files on the SD card then put it into the memory card slot and play?
    I tried putting my SD card into the gamecube and it didn't read it all. How do I make my gamecube read other SD cards?

    Umm you can't just put an SD card into a gamecube, it won't even fit. You need SD Gecko, than you can just put your roms (as well as the snes emulator .dol file) on it and off you go.

    So all I have to do is get that then I am done?
    I don't have to get the pro or anything like that?

    the pro has been discontinued for a long time. SD Gecko will do you just fine. You can get it really cheap here:

    It says for wii, but can still be used on the gamecube w/ SDLoad as and SD adapter.

    I was looking more into the gecko and it said that it is kind of difficult to get it going but is it still pretty simple just a little bit more complicated than the SD media launcher?
    Also does that link that you gave me just give me the card or do I need to buy that other stuff seperately.
    I cannot find the other pieces that you mentioned.

    Hi

    Gecko SD method is just as easy as SD Media Launcher or whatever. You can google for a tutorial.

    The link I gave you is for an SD adapter. You will also need an SD card (I recommend at least 2gb). SD cards are commonly used in cameras, cell phones etc. You might even have one already. If not, a 2gb card will run you about 5-10$ from an electronics or computer store.

    The other thing I mentioned was a gamecube action replay. This might be harder to find, since gamecube is discontinued. Maybe you can search eBay for one.

    Once you get your files on the SD Card, you pop the SD card into the adapter, then pop the adapter into the gamecube and off you go. Read some tutorials for more info, google "SD Gecko Gamecube".

    I know that some of the newer versions of action replay come with all the codes bundled in and do NOT let you add new codes. These ones will not work.

    You need to get one that will let you add new codes. I'm not sure if that amazon one works. Sometimes on eBay, the descriptions tell you whether or not they are homebrew compatible.

    Most of them are WAY to expensive for me in the 100 dollar range.
