We also sell NTSC consoles with the PICO BOOT chip installed. They come with the mod installed and a 32GB SD card. They simply boot files from SD card and do not require the disc like XenoGC does.

 

What is PicoBoot for GameCube?

Put simply, PicoBoot is a modchip for the Nintendo Gamecube which utilises a Raspberry Pi Pico board to run custom software. It allows you to boot the Gamecube in a special mode and launch homebrew applications, such as Swiss. It avoids the hassle of using a disc to boot the console, however you can still use the normal drive to load genuine games on disc. Once you’ve booted into Swiss, you can then make use of the SD2SP2 adapter and SD cards to hold your homebrew.

 

What is XenoGC for GameCube?

This is an older chip for the GameCube that allowed you to boot games from disc in any region. So you could simply boot the console from a burnt mini-dvd with Swiss on the disc or boot a Japanese game in a USA console etc. It’s a great solution and we still offer it, but it’s not as popular as PicoBoot due to it’s requirement to use a disc. Ask us if you want one and we can advise.
