GameCube:Boot Disc Information

= What is a BootDisc? = A bootdisc is something that allows you to boot homebrew from a memory card or SD Card. There are two types of boot discs, only one of which is cost effective to use anymore. The main advantage of using a boot disc is there are zero modifications needed to your GameCube - Just plug and play...and you can still pay original discs, with or without the help of Swiss.
