is it possible to put GCOS on a memcard and boot with AR?

[Vegas]

Does anyone have Romans ctr-gcs front end that they could post ?
I have been away from the scene and my HD died
This was the only way I could get files loaded on the MC before and I cant seem to find it anywhere
Thanks in advance

Hi All,

Ok im trying to get Gcos onto a memory card so that i can load it on a UN modded Gamecube.
I used DOLinstall to install Gcos but when i use samsoninstaller it says "Bootsystem installer error detecting Ar version Action Replay V 1.14 Defaulting to V1.06, you'll have to fix the master code yourself", Done.
Can someone please help me here.
Im also a bit confused about this M code change.
I look at the codes on the action replay and each game has its own M code .
I know i have to change the M code to the 3 lines in a previos post but WHICH m code do i change?

Regards Shane

i think you look for the game Action Replay and edit its (m) code, that's just what ive read. anywayz, im new to this mem card loader thing. i need exact instructions on how to do this. i have everything needed but my action replay IS version 1.06. plz someone, if you know how to do this with this arr version, plz tell me. i dont think i want to take the chance of soldering my new gc (When i get it) ty

yes the samsons loader code is named "Action Replay" you change the (m) code to the 3 line universal code.

if you want to use AR1.06 you have to pad it to the size of the AR1.08.dol simply by add 00's in hexadecial with a hex editor. or if you look around you can find ar 1.08 on maxconsole. http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthr...ighlight=ar108

wut?? that did not make sense to me. i have gcos1.4.dol and all the other needed files. i have action replay 1.06 and you said to change the (m) code in the game Action Replay (click selct codes and click Action Replay) but i had to add the game action replay. wut r u talking about ar1..08 download? plz help me, ty

ok, a bit of confusion there. the ar1.08 file would be for merging with GCOS1.5 otherwise it would be of no use to you sorry about that.


but aside from that, the rest of message will apply to both of you.

when samsons installer is run on a memcard it SHOULD install a action replay database file to it. with a codeset in the game list called "Action Replay". now i know that samsons loader was originally designed for action replay v1.06, so it should just work as is for you hacker.

when samsons installer says "Bootsystem installer error detecting Ar version Action Replay V 1.14 Defaulting to V1.06, you'll have to fix the master code yourself" that really means that you have the database on your memcard, and that the (m) is wrong for your version. thus you must change it.

hacker if your still confused, what parts are unclear?

[h@Ck3R]

man, the gc modding is so confusing, i wish it was easy like xbox modding. anywayz, i have 2 mem cards, bba, and qoob sx. i have all the needed files so plz exactly wut do i do. wut i want is to have the gcos bios on a memory card and use my action replay 1.06 to boot it up on an unmodded gc, is that wut this is? ty

[Hobbes]

OK this should work for you

the install-*.dol's used alcatraz made

Quoted from Alcatraz
On NGC :
1. I run "1 format.dol" (it corrupts the AR memcard)*
2. I format the AR memcard with original IPL
3. I run "2 install-ARcodes.dol" (X, then R button)
4. I run "3 install-level2.dol" (X, then R button)
5. I DON'T run "4 install-gcos15.dol" (it corrupts the AR memcard)
On PC :
6. I rename level3.gci in the rar archive to myfile.gci
7. I run makedol.bat (mctools05)
8. I rename the output dol to "4 install-level3.dol" and I copy it to sdcard
On NGC :
9. I run "4 install-level3.dol" (X, then R button)
10. I redo the same thing X times to copy efal10 and gcos15 into the AR memcards with my own generated dols with mctools05
11. I start the AR with AR memcard in slot B.
12. At the main menu, I unplug the AR memcard, I plug another one with the SDload code, I wait, the code list is updated, I unplug the memcard, I replug the AR memcard, I wait, and I choose update the hardware in option menu.
So I have both codes (SDLoad and Samson code) in the AR memcard.
14. Run Action Replay code in the US list
15. Samson starts : choose your dol
16. Enjoy

* Backup your AR codebase if you have added many codes.

i just bought a black GC for 50$ (very good deal ) and i heard about this softmod with the max drive pro disc/memory card to boot backup GC games via the GCOS 1.5 software.
But the product is discontinued at codejunkies website, so I was wondering, if its possible to use the Action Replax (Max) for GC? I didnt bought it yet, but if the AR disc works the same way as the MDP, then why not buy that?
I don't wanna mod the GC with a modchip because it's cost more
Anybody know the answer?
