News from the Gamecube Linux Site:
Discs booting too from the original IPL Using the recently updated cubeboot-tools-0.2 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98581&package_id=174991&release_id=383216) package it is now possible to build bootable homebrew iso9660 discs that work in addition with the original IPL, while having drive code extensions loaded. This means, for example, that people with "drivechips" will be able to build their own homebrew discs. As a proof of concept, two bzip2-compressed iso9660 disc images are available for testing: a mfe-distro disc (~85MB) (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gc-linux/mfe-distro-sample-built-with-cubeboot-tools-0.2.iso.bz2?download) and a disc which boots Costis' SDload (~50K) (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gc-linux/sdload.iso.bz2?download). Zochwar (thanks!) has kindly provided a small video (~6MB) (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gc-linux/zochwar_xenogc-mfe_disc_booting.mov?download) of his cube booting gc-linux. Have fun!
