Hey all,

Well, I'm on fire :). I recently received my sample of the USBgecko 3d party developement unit and started playing around with it (and made PCB shots ;)).


USB gecko is 3rd Party Memory Card Interface Adapter which allows homebrew and hobbyist developers the ability to connect their Gamecube(tm) or Wii(tm) console to there PC which has a USB 2.0 Port.
In case you haven't heard about the USBgecko yet, it's a third party unit that combines two products --> SDgecko and Nintendo's BBA. This is because the unit allows for you to boot DOL/BIN files on your Wii/Gamecube but is also able to act as a developers debug port. Homepage of the USBgecko (http://www.usbgecko.com/).

Nice. Awesome product. Simply amazing and I can't wait for stuff to be incorporated with this. So does this mean that the BBA is completely obsolete now? :eek:
