@creedof69 I already though about making a SP2 USB Dolphin with USB-C but I can't promise this is gonna happen. It's likely not that easy to fit all the required components onto my current SDSP2 Pro+ design.

@makeo_dev Oh if we want both Ethernet and HDD support, would it be possible that an adapter like this comes but for the SP2 port to usb ?

The USB Dolphin is now available for pre-order! If you're interested, you can get one here: store.makstech.io/products/usb-d…

@sweet_blu No it doesn't - it can only emulate one thing at a time.

@makeo_dev Will this work with a hub and have Ethernet adapter and storage?

@ZXBlaziken It currently supports USB sticks/drives for file/game storage and USB Ethernet adapters for BBA emulation

@makeo_dev What all works through USB on this thing?

Did you know you can now load #GameCube games over your network via #RetroNAS, using a homebrew USB device called #USBDolphin and a USB Ethernet device? Performance will vary, but this is still REALLY cool. Links and more info: retrorgb.com/usb-dolphin-us…

@ClarkSpinner @RetroRGB The Wii LAN adapter is supported but I would not recommend 100 Mbit adapters if you wanna do game streaming using FSP.

@RetroRGB Would the Wii USB ethernet adapters work too? I still use them on my Wii, Wii U and original Switch.

I just tested a cheap ethernet adapter that works perfectly with USB Dolphin. I even tested it through a wireless bridge, just for fun! Links and more info: retrorgb.com/usb-dolphin-co…

I further improved the compatibility with different LAN adapters of the USB Dolphin. Now you will be able to use the Wii LAN Adapter: #compatible-usb-ethernet-adapters" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/makeo/usb-dolp…

@fyredragon69 This would be cool, but the issue is that no game/homebrew looks for a keyboard attached to SP1 or Slot A/B. For homebrew, it would not be that hard to add. For games, it's theoretically fixable by patching the game, but not really sensible and unlikely to happen.

@makeo_dev are there any plans to make usb keyboards usable with this? would be great so people don't have to buy expensive usb adapters for the controller ports, or worse the pso controller keyboard

📢 I can finally show what's coming next - USB Dolphin - a USB 2.0 port for SP1 or Slot A/B. Supports all kinds of USB storage devices, the SP1 variant even allows network game streaming (Swiss + RetroNAS/FSP) and more! See all its features here: store.makstech.io/usb-dolphin

@0bieone The speed is limited by the connection to the GC - performance is on par with an SD2SP2 2.0. The port on the device is high-speed (USB 2), not full-speed.

@makeo_dev dope, how the speed?

📢 The design and production files for the solderless PicoLoader modules I'm selling are now open source: #solderless-module-specification" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/makeo/PicoLoad… Shout-out to Silversteel for the design and a thank you to all of you who already supported me by ordering through my shop!

📢 I added quite a few new toys to the store! This includes USB Gecko's, PicoLoaders for the Panasonic Q and a variety of SD Adapters. For US customers, prices include tariffs. store.makstech.io

@nachosonic There is a config option to force progressive

@makeo_dev idk much about this, but is this menu 480i only?

📢 cubiboot v0.3 is out! - Game icons now load very quickly as long as you use an exFat formatted SD card - Improved SD card compatibility - And a few other bufixes Download it here: github.com/makeo/cubiboot…

@DatZigZagKid You can get the solder flex cheaply directly from JLCPCB (ordering guide is on the PicoLoader github). Alternatively, you can get full solderless or soldered kits from my store.

@makeo_dev Is the original picoloader flex cable still available for purchase? The solder one. Thanks!

Is this even a GameCube anymore?

My new favorite cup!

@tonyt3rry x shaped box is my logic analyser and the board at the bottom a debugger

@makeo_dev What are the x shaped box and the board at the bottom , ode and debugging?

@nachosonic custom logos are currently not supported. This will likely be addressed at a later date.

@makeo_dev I've just installed it, but I lost the custom logo at start... there's a way to keep the cubeboot custom logo?

Cubiboot is here! This gives you the cubeboot interface for PicoLoader and PicoBoot! It has most of the features of cubeboot but supports SD2SP2, SD Gecko and similar SD adapters. Check it out here: github.com/makeo/cubiboot

@bobrocks951 Yes - cubiboot launches all game iso's using swiss and for the disk drive you can choose this via the config.ini

@makeo_dev Awesome! It's a very slick interface. I've always wondered though, can titles in here be booted with Swiss enhancements as well?
