GameCube Homebrew Game Save Exploits

Swiss Boot Memory Cards and Game Save Hacks a la GCMM, the GameCube Memory Manager

(this is a follow up to "Everything GameCube Homebrew in 6 Minutes")

Quick, Easy, and Cheap (about $30)

The prices of various games will change over time, but they'll probably stay relatively the same.

  1. Find the cheapest game (~$15, probably 007 or Tom Clancy's xyz)
    • that boots the fastest
    • and requires the fewest button presses
  2. Grab the link to an exploit (~$0)
  3. Buy from ANY seller of GameCube Swiss Boot Cards on eBay (~$15)
    • Tell them the game you have
    • (double check that you have the right version and link)
    • Give them the link
    • Ask them to kindly use GCMM to load that with the latest version of Swiss

Tada!
