How to Mod a GameCube with PicoBoot – Setup, Install, & Overview!

PicoBoot from webhdx is an incredible development in the world of GameCube modding, bringing an IPL replacement method to the console in an affordable and easy to access way! As opposed to typical drive chips such as the XenoGC, PicoBoot is a firmware you flash to a Raspberry Pi Pico to transform it into a superior modchip you can install to the GameCube itself, not merely being limited to the DVD drive. The end result being a fantastic software solution which allows GameCube owners to boot into homebrew easily when combined with a SD2SP2 or a SD Gecko memory card adapter! As an added bonus, this works on ALL GameCube hardware revisions, regardless of region. DOL-001, DOL-101, and even the Panasonic Q will work with PicoBoot!
