View Full Version : SELFBOOT GCOS MultiGame Version - WORKS
emu_kidid
03-11-2007, 01:19 AM
UPDATE: Check Make-multiv3 for improved "audiofix". I still get errors on Wave race and eventually crazy taxi DRE's but this runs better than before. It might just be that the wiikey i tested it on was a prototype. But hey, starfox adventures works pretty good :)
Whatsnew:
** v3 **
- Audio Streaming games now work.(?)
- Fixed up regions for all modchips (Autodetect works now)
- Fixed up syntax on the .exe
Whatsnew:
** SELFBOOT Multigame Ver **
- .exe now creates multiboot and selfboot iso all in one.
- NOTE: These new discs won't work on the old MultiGame ver GCOS DVD.
- NOTE: Games Created with previous tool WILL WORK.
Whatsnew:
** Multigame Ver **
- Fixed menu from going to nowhere if up was pressed
- Added support for full DVD MultiGames [new GCOS Format ;)]
- Added Best support possible for Multigame discs (Cobra ones)
- Made GUI Neater in MultiGame select area
Notes:
Using the app:
You must specify a region for the output file.
Examples are:
make-multiv2.exe output.gcm USA game1.gcm game2.gcm etc
make-multiv2.exe output.gcm JAP game1.gcm game2.gcm etc
make-multiv2.exe output.gcm PAL game1.gcm game2.gcm etc
It will create a self-booting GCOS dvd
After a bit of tinkering, GC MultiGames are now working fine on GCOS :) Use our own little application to create GCOS GC MultiGame DVD's up to 4GB (full DVD size to be exact). That's right, GCOS has it first! You may pre-shrink Isos first using GCM Utility 0.5 (one by one).
Takes about 6min give or take to create a ~4.3Gb Iso image.
Why is Cobra MultiGame DVD support only "partial"?
Since Cobra MultiGame DVD's rely on games being on 32kb aligned, some are not playable as this changed now to 128kb. This means that most likely the first title burned on the disc won't work. However instead of removing all support for them, I have left in partial support. GCOS will scan your disc, find whatever it knows will work on Wii drives and only list that.
Technical Notes:
If you want to develop your own app to make these multigame dvd's, here's a rundown of the disc format we made:
-=The GCOS MultiGame DVD Format=-:
Header requires "RGCOSDVD" or "GGCOSDVD" with any padding up to 0x40. (or just rip our header, we don't care)
Offset table is at 0x40, same as CobraMultigame.
First possible location a game can be is at 0x20000.
All games must be placed on offsets divisible by 0x20000 with no remainder. (Aligned)
Max starting offset implemented is 0xFFFFFFFF.
And to keep the n00bs happy, round up the whole size of the .iso to an even number / 2048.
(Self boot gets tricky! if you want that, you'll have to look at the src)
Credits:
Big thanks goes to D00BieBoi for helping out with this release!
bugs:
Only one little bug found in beta testing is Zelda WindWaker and other zelda games have a freakishly large game name so in GCOS it will show it a bit messed up. A tip for those of you who want to make a zelda collection disc, just hex edit the iso if you are perfectionists. (i.e. edit 0x20 "The Legend of Zelda Wind waker for PAL" to "Zelda - Wind Waker")

can i have Different regions gcm files to create a working output file? For example make-multiv2.exe output.gcm PAL game1.gcm(pal) game2.gcm(usa) etc? or i must convert game1, game2, etc in the region first? if i must convert which is the right tool? Thanks._

yes you can have make-multiv2.exe output.gcm PAL game1.gcm(jap) game2.gcm(usa) game3.gcm(whatever).
Only note that if you have a Wiikey or a modchip that forces region you will have to select the right video mode that you know the game is supposed to run in.

So, If i understood well, you only denote PAL for output file for a pal wii independent of the regions of the part files. I think its a great utility. Does it works with wiinja v2?

First: great tool works great with Mario Party 6 & 7 + Pikmin II (which I have tested).
Eternal Darkness doesn't work (it boots but gives error) tried it compressed and uncompressed. I have tested on a Pal Wii with Wiinja v1 & Wiifree 1.5. 'Alone' on disc it boots perfectly.
Cheerz.

hm, if you can, try wave race blue storm and let me know if that works.. if that doesn't it's most likely audio streaming setup issue.

Great work emu_kidid!
I'm gonna test it now. By the way, are you still working on your backup disc app?
I found a minor bug:
Severity: minor / documentation
Bug Description:
Your command help suggest the following usage
make-multiv2.exe multidisc.gcm pal zelda.gcm mario.gcm
However this won't work, the region has to be specified in capitals (e.g. PAL)
How to reproduce:
Try making an iso with the suggested usage, won't work
Suggested fix:
Option 1: change command help
Option 2: convert region parameter to lowercase and compare with "pal"

Ah thanks for pointing that out!
It's ok though if someone puts "pal" it will prompt them for the proper syntax and it will display an example.
D-an-W, i've attached a multigame splitter. Its the one softdev made but i simply edited it to work with the games made from version one of this application.

Actually the "proper" example it suggests is wrong. It has "pal" in it, not "PAL".

awesome work!
my only missing concern before I can give to my little cousin my old gamecube with the qoob pro is that I usually hook everything to a big progressive scan projector. is there any chance that you could force progressive mode (by enabling an option, I don't know) on gamecube pal games that doesn't originally support it?
I think this will be the icing on the cake :)
anyway thanks a million for the great work!

Question: If I use this with GCOS installed on an AR, will I get the GCOS menu twice or will I be able to select my game directly from GCOS the first time?
Thanks a lot this is a great app :) worked perfect on my wii had to use the other gcos dvd first to get it to boot as the wii did not "see" any dvd in the drive from boot screen.
Glad it works, but that doesn't sound like it "works perfect" if it's not self-booting. ;)

If I understand this correctly I can put/burn several games on a DVD with a selfboot gcos which will load from the DVD?
I don't have any kind of chip in my gamecube right now I'm using the AR method, loading gcos from a memory card. Do I still need a chip or AR? And the same question for the wii will I need a chip or something or is everything needed contained on the DVD.
thanks

use this txt file, edit it, then rename it to make.bat
edit it on notepad
make-multiv2.exe output.gcm USA 1.gcm 2.gcm 3.gcm
change USA to the region you want, and delete or ad more games by editing 1.gcm etc. rename 1.gcm, 2.gcm to whatever your games are called
blahblahblah122
03-11-2007, 01:32 PM
make a text document and put
make-multiv2.exe output.gcm USA game1.gcm game2.gcm etc...
without the etc. That's just for how many games
Then rename it to name.bat or whatevername.bat and run it. You could use the command prompt, but I think this way is easier to understand.
Edit: Beat me to it
LilaQ
03-11-2007, 01:50 PM
This kinda confuses me?!
So with this tool you can directly boot a multigame GC Disc? Without any swapping? (Like with GCOS?)
And can you use different region version games on a single multigame disc?
e.g. Zelda Wind Waker PAL + Super Mario Smash Brothers NTSC etc.
TIA :)

blahblahblah122
03-11-2007, 01:55 PM
Oh yea, also with this program, does the first game on the disk work? And can you shrink with this version? And can we use a shrunken version of GCOS (not shrunk using the included one)?
For the luigi.txt, the file can't have spaces. It would have to be NGC_Luigi's_Mansion.gcm or iso. That's what I think is the problem

what I recommend you doing is get the NTSC for all the zelda games.
What you should do is this:
Load
Legend of Zelda
Collector's Edition ( no shrink )
Wind Waker ( shrink )
Four Swords ( shrink )
Twilight Princess ( no shrink )
all NTSC... and let me know if that works.

Thank you very much emu_kidid. A selfbooting disc with the images on it is very cool. No more swapping. ^^
For future versions a cheatengine and skin-support would be very nice. So if you would make a Zelda disc with collectors edition and tp, you would put a Zelda-skin and the two .cod-files with the images and GCOS on one disc.
DVD9 support would also be very cool. With this I could fit my entire Gamecube collection on a few DVDs. :D But I know ofcourse, that noone knows how to do this at the moment.

playing on usa ntsc console with wiikey installed. first disc was metal gear solid the twin snakes 2disc set and eternal darkness. twin snakes were .iso files and eternal darkness was a .gcm file.
whether its the file format or if it has to do with the audiofix issue, but eternal darkness would initally boot, showing that quote by edgar allen poe, then give a DRE. Metal Gear seems to work fine.
right now im getting a few images off usenet in both pal and ntsc format, to see how this works for me.

dump your disc, then use the other app from the .rar.
Also, again.. If you're using a modchip that forces region on GC games, please be careful when selecting the right video mode.

Yep Audiofix is at fault here. I will have to fix this. For now, don't make a disc with Crazy Taxi, Eternal Darkness, Wave Race, and other streaming games like the zelda collectors discs. This is a recurring problem with GCOS, I will fix it tonight.

Yes i need to fix that up :P Uhm as for other random titles giving a DRE, i can only suggest to run them through fstfix 1.5.
only post a game here that doesn't work when it's in a multigame, not when both the multigame placed one and the normally burnt one don't work, that's simply something else at fault.

Yep Audiofix is at fault here. I will have to fix this. For now, don't make a disc with Crazy Taxi, Eternal Darkness, Wave Race, and other streaming games like the zelda collectors discs. This is a recurring problem with GCOS, I will fix it tonight.
Darn.. if only I saw this post before.. I tried:
-Zelda CE ( shrink to 1.25GB)
-Foursword (shirnk to 260MB)
-Zelda WiW (shrink to 1.06GB)
-Zelda TP (un shrink)
came out with 4GB disc
and the results are
-Zelda CE : load but the screen goes black after I choose the game
-Foursword Works!!
-Wind Waker works!!
-Twilight Works!!
and I notice the screw up name (coz the title are too long??)
the question is when I want to Hex edit it.. is it in the individual game or in the made up multi game iso?
also it WOULD be great if you could make a reset buton so it can go to GCOS menu.. it would be GREAT!! well thats just my 2 cents..
overall thanks for this multi disc self boot thing.. and thanks for the great effort...

does this GCOS version have audiofix support? i wouldn't mind swapping discs for audiofix, for just a few games (i mean, this does work like the normal GCOS too doesn't it?). as a noob, i don't know the practical difference of GCOS Multigame normal version and the selfboot version, but i know i want to play my GC backups with my cheap WiiFree mod.

Great App. Gotta love it. Now i just need to find some good ISOs
Any Chance of their being a Wii app that will rip a GC disc to like a 2 gig SD card. that would be sweet.

If the Zelda CE iso is the down-zelda release then I have had this same problem before and it can be sorted with fstfix and the t f options.

On a Wii with wiikey installed, I am having problems even getting waverace (original) to boot and play without errors using the actual Disc Channel on the Wii.
Can someone else confirm this please.
Basically what I need:
someone get waverace/starfox1/eternal darkness/crazytaxi and test one of them and post me your results.
So far I managed to get GCOS to boot Crazy Taxi and play for about 4mins.. then a random Error pops up. I'm sure it's not GCOS at this point (on my copy here).

yes you can have make-multiv2.exe output.gcm PAL game1.gcm(jap) game2.gcm(usa) game3.gcm(whatever).
Only note that if you have a Wiikey or a modchip that forces region you will have to select the right video mode that you know the game is supposed to run in.
I cant seem to get that to work. If I try Kirby.gcm(pal) ill end up getting ERROR: File not found! (kirby.gcm(pal))
Do I even need to do this if I have a WiiKey?
ill give eternal darkness a try in a few minutes too emu_kidid

you do of course not include the "(Pal)" in the commadn line!!!
you just write ... kirby.gcm mario.gcm zelda.gcm (without any region info behind the specific image).
you only have to specify once the region info of the new image you are just creating, if i´m not mistaken.

check the first post. I added a "audio fix" but it's still in beta as it hasn't been tested.
chromium
03-13-2007, 04:30 AM
Yes i need to fix that up :P Uhm as for other random titles giving a DRE, i can only suggest to run them through fstfix 1.5.
only post a game here that doesn't work when it's in a multigame, not when both the multigame placed one and the normally burnt one don't work, that's simply something else at fault.
I tried every possible combination of fstfix on Eternal Darkness and Ikaruga, I'm just saying that I get the exact same error whether using GCOS multi or booting them directly with each game on a disc on their own, so I'm wondering if there is an inherent problem in the modchips, in my case Wiikey.
Edit:
Ok, worrying news. I just dug up my ORIGINAL Eternal Darkness disc and I get the exact same error again. I don't know if it worked before I got my Wiikey, but it certainly isn't working now. So emu_kidid, I think you're wasting your time trying to fix these games in GCOS, there's something more sinister going on here.

So it looks there is something dodgy going on with Wiikey and certain GC games. Which is nothing to do with GCOS.

Very good job emu_kidid !
In your updated post you say that you think you get DRE's with Wave Race because you have a prototype Wiikey version, but I don't think so. I have a retail Wiikey version and the problem is exactly the same. There's some GC games that don't work anymore with Wiikey !
Did you try Naruto : Clash Of Ninja? Or Naruto 4? Just try it if you can, I think you'd be surprised by the result. On my D2B Wii + Wiikey, Naruto's games, Wave Race, Ikaruga, and some others don't work at all. Maybe you can fix this problem, but I really think that Xeno team should be warned by these problems.

I just tried the PAL Ikaruga on my machine, still DRE during first level.
If you could explain how you got yours to work through 3 levels, thatd be great.
Yes, I know this isn't an issue with GCOS. In fact, im not even using GCOS for my tests.
But it seems like all the GC games that have issues are audiostreaming ones. Is it possible the "audiofix" isn't quite up to par?
Also, has anyone had these issues with other chips or only Wiikey?

Most isnt the same as all.
If I understand correctly, the Viper Multiboot and the GCMUtility will not work for GC games used on the Wii, correct?
And that is what this app is for, multiboot GC games on Wii?
Finally, will this new app work on a GameCube console as well?
Thanks!

Guys I've burned 6 dvds of this combinations and try to play it on wii:
Naruto 4
Metroid 2
Zelda Wind Waker
5 of them stuck at the Boot & Credit menu, can not select of even move the highlight. The last one is kind of better, cause it is so hard even just to move the the highlight from boot to credit. After I can select boot, they listed the game, but it just stuck there, can't move or select any of the title.
I used 3 dvd-r and 3 dvd+r, should I just go with either one? How do you actually move the highlight and select the game? Did I do something wrong?
Thanks a buch!

I think it's clear that there is a problem with Wiikey on certain GC games, in fact it even breaks GC compatibilty for originals (Eg. my original Eternal Darkness). My copied Eternal Darkness and my original Eternal Darkness give me the exact same error right at the start during Poe's quote. I also get the same problem with Ikaruga where it DREs halfway through the first level. This is not a GCOS issue, because it's happening without even using GCOS and just booting directly from the Wii Menu. Pretty annoying, I hope they release a fix soon, I want to play Eternal Darkness and Ikaruga on my Wii.
Come on Wiikey, show us how good your upgradability is!

@emu_kidid: Great works so far... I'm very impressed !
Upcoming 2-Disk-Support is a very cool feature and surely the next logical step.
Don't knew if you recognize this: A few posts before I stated, that same Games (Waverace & Eternal Darkness & maybe same other i didn't test) needs the 'ViperFix'(FSTFIX didn't work with these 2 Games-Sound is distorted). Could be wise to have a look at 'ViperFix' to implement it's way of patching.
And.... a few suggestions for further improvements :
Would be nice to have an all-in-one-gui-tool to do shrinking, patching, renaming and building the disk. Maybe along with an editable Database which contains information on how the games work(shrinked/unshrinked or Fix/NoFix) :rolleyes:
And... Dual-Layer-DVDR-Support would be a great improvement... but maybe this is in first place a Mod-Chip-Task :eek:

Questions:
1) I got 3 different gcms, I ran the selfboot GCOS v3 and it created multidisc.gcm. Do I simply rename it to multidisc.iso and burn with burning software (e.g. Nero)?
2) Does Wii (with Wiikey) care if the game is shrinked or not with GCMUtility?
Are there some known games that when shrinked, it does not play?
3) If I use Wiikey v1.1 setup disc NTSC (no GC joypad req'd), does it mean I can use Wiimote to play GC multidisc games?
Note:
I'm trying to burn a disc with (Soul Calibur2, Mario Bro. Smash Melee, and Wind Waker)

No you still have to get a GC controller to play anything GC related. the Wiikey Setup disc thing to was just to keep though who didnt already have a GC contoller from having to buy one just to perform the set up.
So if you are going to be playing GC games you gotta go spend 20 bucks or less on a contoller

It'd be great to hear confirmation from someone that the update feature actually works. (I know that everyone is going to chime in with the config disc, but that is AFAIK merely updating the serial EEPROM which is different from a FLASH update...)

This seems to be some really cool app.
But I have a strange problem with it:
I make a multiboot disk with make-multiv3.exe setting it to PAL. (I have a PAL D2B console with wiifree)
I add Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros (both PAL) and Fire Emblem (NTSC).
When I boot the resulting disk on my Wii I get the menu "Boot Disk" and "Credits". Now I choose "Boot Disk" and I get the menu with the 3 games. I can scroll up and down BUT I cant start any of them. I press "A" I press "B" and ... nothing.
At the bottom of the screen there is always standing "NTSC BIOS Version 1.0". But shouldnt that be PAL???
When creating the image it says "PAL"

I notice the screw up name for zrlda games (coz the title are too long??)
the question is when I want to Hex edit it.. is it in the individual game or in the made up multi game iso?
coz i tried to rename the single iso.. and when I compile it to multi game iso it just gave me green screen.. and sometimes freezes on the game selection..

the truth is.. i'm not quite sure of my hex editing.. what prgram do you use? i'm using cygnus free hex editor..
and everytime I change the value (ie: replacing The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords FOR NINTENDO GAMECUBE to ZELDA - Four Swords) and I check the file with GC-Tool or GCMutillity it just gave me error.. did I do anything wrong with the hex editing?

you probably change the entire iso, you must overwrite it. In hex workshop you press Insert then you can overwrite.

Fantastic news, can't wait!
BTW, it would be nice if there were two button combinations for different reset modes: one that will go back to the Wii menu (or a complete reboot) and another that will go back to the game selection in GCOS. But if you're going to make only one reset hotkey then this method would be best if it's implementable:
In-game -> Reset hotkey pressed -> GCOS game selection menu and inside that menu there's a "Return to Wii Main Menu" -> "Return to Wii Main Menu" selected -> Wii Menu.

Of cource I could use the CycloWiz-GCOS, but then I have to switch Discs again.... Insert Disc, Start Disc, Choose GC-Game,Play.... I like it that way very much.
Something like "cyclo-make-multiv3.exe" would be nice.
Is the GCOS-Cyclo-Version to see as a workaround for bugs within the Cyclo-Code, which will be sorted out in future cyclo-updates, so we could use the "normal" GCOS then ?
Or is this because of the design of the Cyclo-Code, which makes it necassery for Cyclo-Users to use a special GCOS-Version ?

A few problems. First, it seems that it will often go back to the main menu after I press "launch". I just needed to press launch four or five times to get to the game list. Second, is there any way to make PAL games output NTSC? I know they automatically did on the Xbox, can't they on the Gamecube? Or is there another way to make Ikaruga display on a NTSC TV?Third, does Wario World work for anyone else? When I select it, it doesn't show the title or image, and it crashes when I try to launch it.
Tested on a Pal Wii with Chiip:
Naruto shippuden.... 4:
with v2: booted until main menu, had an error => had to turn off wii
with v3: booted until main menu, a totally fucked up sound occured but the game worked fine. must have been the (streaming?) background sound since i heard the normal sound fine but the fubar sound didnt stop.
same with ikaragua.

Ikaruga PAL plays fine (no flickering) if started with "X" (PAL) instead of "A" (Auto).
Geist PAL will have no video at all if started with "A" but plays fine with "X".
So some of the problems seem to be caused by V3 using a wrong screen resolution/frequency in "auto" mode.
Apart from that, WiiKey seems to have issues with games that use audio streaming. Some have sound problems (eternal darkness, starfox adventures), some have DREs (Waverace, Smuggler's Run).

Hmm.. did you mean with the option T and S
, coz I tried with the v3, and tried with v2 with fstfix T and S mode and still Zelda CE (the one with zelda, zelda2, Ocarina, and majora) gives me blank screen after the menu...
Just an FYI.
I had the same problem with the Zelda CE DOWN version, which is PAL. I have an NTSC Wii chipped with a Wiikey. My original burn did not include v3 multi-boot. I was using a coastered v3 multiboot game to load up GCOS. I had to select PAL (X-button) to get the game to boot up and not get a green screen.
So...
I could get to the menu, but OoT and MM would not run. They would black-screen after you selected the rumble pack.
To fix this, you need to run FSTFIX v1.5F with the options F and T.
FSTFIX.EXE down-zelda.iso t f
When I used this image and went through the GCOS steps mentioned above, it worked.

I'm finding the need to run fstfix on about half of my backup isos. It works great and they do indeed work after running the program. The problem is that I'm still making a good deal of coasters when trying to burn before running fstfix.
Would it hurt a good iso to run fastfix on it? Is there any reason why I wouldn't want to run fstfix on everything before I burn it to make sure everything comes out right?

I'm finding the need to run fstfix on about half of my backup isos. It works great and they do indeed work after running the program. The problem is that I'm still making a good deal of coasters when trying to burn before running fstfix.
Same Here! now I burn first on -RW to test the game.

Does the wii read dual layer dvds? That way all the resi games on gamecube can go on 1 disc

That's a good idea. What brand do you use for the rw? I wasn't sure if they would work or not.

Somebody needs to try that out!
But I'm convinced it does, because if the Wii can access a full DVD5 in GameCube mode, why not a Dual Layer Disc? (The Wii itself does officially support Dual Layer Disks)

Anyone get the "Media wasn't recognized" Error?
Doesn't make sense... does it with every title. Selfboot or non. Even with single game discs, or original discs.

Just as a remark: Zelda Wind Waker is not working correctly on a multigame disc. While it seems to work, it will freeze if you presse "up" on the joypad to view the map e.g. on the forsaken fortress. It does not happen though if you're on a ship.
This happens only on multigame disc (whether shrunk or not), not on a single game disc.

Does the latest GCOS fix the audio issues in Ikaruga? What is I used the FSTFIX audio patch?
And how's the soft reset version coming? Is it even possible to do that?

PAL self dumped version I just tested worked fine in forsaken fortress.

If you have a wiikey you have to wait for the update. GCOS already sets it up properly from the console side, it's up to the modchip to fix it also.
IGR is getting there :)

What's the deal with 2-disc games on a self loading multidisc? Is it possible to play all of them or only the ones that let you save just before you have to switch disc? I'm specifically thinking of Resident Evil Remake.

Just out of curiosity:
What does the "PAL BIOS Revision 1" line refer to? The inserted disc, the drive BIOS(?), the Wii BIOS?
Reason for asking: I am running into problems with GameCube iso's, even though Wii backups play fine. I have a PAL Wii console but my modded drive was stripped from a NTSC console. I thought this shouldn't have mattered?

It shouldn't matter.
mess with the forcing of video mode and you will work it out
Hi!
a very nice program! thank you very much :D
some requests for next versions:
1. is there a chance, that a next version of GCOS will feature a PAL menu?
on my TV (Samsung HD LCD connected via Cinch) the NTSC looks just HORRIBLE. its just the menu i know ;) and the game looks fine when i chose PAL, but with the menu in PAL it would be even nicer :P
2. could the menu start the DVD automatically?
since it is selfbooting now with the games on the same DVD there is no need for the "push A to start the DVD" dialog. (or am i wrong?)
3. why are there only two games at the same time in the menu?
one DVD fits 4-6 Games. the names of those games could all be shown on the screen at the same time, without scrolling. this would be more clear...
4. I would prefer to select a game by pressing A to the START button
everytime i press A before remembering: "oh! where is that start thingy again?"
this is a fuddy duddy one, but... :p

Hm. The ISO image works perfectly on a single disc and freezes when selecting the map by pressing joypad up in forsaken fortress (e.g. in the cell) on a multigame disc. Are you sure you were able to select the map screen by pressing joypad up???
Talking about cosmetics: it would be nice if you could define names for the menu entries or at least if the given entries would be truncated to fit the screen (or was this already changed in V3 ... I'm not quite sure).

Im a total nub i have the files but what am i suppose to do?
the instructions aren't very clear.
i have isos but what commands am i suppose to do to combine isos to one mulit disk?
Im a total nub i have the files but what am i suppose to do?
the instructions aren't very clear.
type:
make-multiv3 dvd.iso PAL game1.iso game2.iso game3.iso etc.
dvd.iso will be the name of your iso that make-multi creates... PAL can be NTSC (depends on your console/TV) game1...game3 are the names of your game.isos
they can be in .gcm format or .iso - both are fine
before combining the isos to a new big iso you should shrink the game.isos. the origin game isos are ALLWAYS 1,36GB - even if there is only 300MB Data on the Gamecube DVD... so the GCMUtility shrinks the 1,36GB.iso to a 300MB.iso - that way more games fit to a DVD. this only works one file after the other. you may check only ONE game and click the "shrink" button
quite easy :o

emu_kidid could you explain how is the audio fix done and what does GCOS do so the modchip detects the game needs it?

Hey everyone sorry about the lack of updates etc here.. I've been busy with things in real life.
I will be finishing the multi disc version quite soon. Only a few things left to fix. IGR version will follow.
The SD dumper will progress probably next week also but I will be busy over easter.
