Hi all,

I've been doing a heap of Picoboot installs for GameCube's lately, but they've all been on DOL-001 models using SD2SP2 adapters. Today I done my first install on a DOL-101 model and because there is no port for an SD2SP2 adapter, I've been forced to use a GC2SD adapter (which is fine).

So I've just finished the install and it boots to SWISS perfectly fine with the SD card adapter inserted. However when the adapter isn't inserted into the console and I try and boot, it just hangs on "No DOL loaded. Rebooting into original IPL..." - Now I was under the impression that if there was no adapter detected then it will just boot into the default GameCube menu. This doesn't seem to be the case for me.

If I boot INTO SWISS with the SD card adapter inserted, I can simply exit SWISS and the default GameCube menu will load... But I'm still 99.9% sure from previous installs that if there is no adapter inserted and the console powers on, then it just loads the default.

Any help would be appreciated <3

    VR is like 3D TVs in my opinion it's cool and all but it doesn't have enough great content.

    VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc

    But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"

  • Veho @ Veho:
    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs

    If we're talking AAA titles a vr headset would be priced at nearly the same cost as a midrange gaming pc maybe even double

    I think they should bring back the shutter glasses for VR put 120Hz screen in for 60FPS and even a basic phone these days can pull that off

    Head tracking cameras and all
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Have a USB type C connector for power and controller done

    Micro SD would be nice also :angry:

    @K3Nv2, The types of gamers who like to be consumertards love to pay $2,000 for RGB everything, and to run bloated Windows.
