    Is there a tutorial on how to setup and use GCOM? I'm not sure what to do.

    Run GCOMconfig in the command prompt and input the necessary network information.

    A basic setup could be as follows.
    -Open the command prompt (Start -> Run -> type cmd in the box and hit enter)
    -Have the gcom24 folder on the Desktop for easy access
    -Type in ipconfig and take notre of your PC's IP address and subnetmask on your home network.
    -Type in cd desktop/gcom24
    -Type gcom24config -pcip(your PC's IP) -gcip(desired GameCube IP) -mask(subnet mask)
    -An example of the above is gcom24config -pcip 192.168.1.100 -gcip 192.168.1.32 -mask 255.255.255.0

    And that's it. Should produce a dol file that can be booted using whatever methods you prefer.

    Took me a few to figure out how to make the DOL file myself. Do what Venom5880 said and you will get it.

    I use GCOM to copy my games. It is a time saver since it hacks the BBA transfer rate and lets you transfer a game in around 12 to 15 minutes. With other's like GCOS it will take close to 40 minutes.

    The only downside to GCOM is that disc that I have riped using GCOS in the past will not load on GCOM. Only backups that I riped with GCOM will work on boot backup option.

    I went to the forum site and posted how much I liked it and want to use it to play all my backup games. I then explained my issue with not being able to play backups that i riped with GCOS.

    I got a reply back from the programer of GCOM and it was...

    (do you really think i give a S**T if you use the program or not?)

    Good program but crapy attitude when it comes to helping people with problems. I would think any programer would care about issues or problems somone might have with a program they have authored.

    I made the dol file and loaded GCOM to the cube, followed the steps the best I could but still having problems. Maybe a setting on my pc is not right. Getting a unknown host error and no route to host using wget.
