2.b. System Requirements

Operating System: Windows XP Pro/Home

The USB SD memory card adapter included with SD Media Launcher is automatically
recognised by Windows XP Pro/Home as a removable drive.

Other operating systems may be compatible with the USB SD memory card adapter,
but are not supported.

2.c. Putting Homebrew ROMs on your SD Memory Card

Adding homebrew ROMs like software, games and emulators to your SD memory card
is really simple. First, make sure you are adding files of the right type:

Suitable File Types

SD Media Launcher is designed to play homebrew ROMs created for the GameCube™
console and in the *.DOL or *.BIN format.

If a file is called “autoexec.dol” or “autoexec.bin” it will be automatically run by SD
Media Launcher.

Copying Files from your PC

Slot your SD memory card into the USB SD memory card adapter and then connect the
adapter to your PC. Windows XP automatically recognises the adapter as a removable
drive and assigns it letter.

Use ‘My Computer’ or ‘Windows Explorer’ to drag and drop

Where to Get New Homebrew

There are hundreds of sites dedicated to providing great, free homebrew ROMs for
your GameCube™. Search for “GameCube homebrew” in your favourite search engine
for the most up-to-date leads!

2.d. Using Your SD Media Launcher

Once you’ve copied some GameCube™ homebrew files to your SD memory card,
remove the card from the USB adapter and slot it into GameCube™-style memory card
before slotting that card into your GameCube™ or Wii™.
