When you get your GC, you’ll need to set up an SD card, copy over some games, and maybe even install some other emulators. I cover the whole process in the video. Here’s what you need:

Get a micro SD card (you can try the ones you have, but most are not compatible). Compatibility list: www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=Swiss/Compatibility_List

Format it as FAT32. I used Fat32formatter GUI to do that:
www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/FAT32format-GUI.shtml

Get Swiss (this is the main thing that you need to put on the memory card)
github.com/emukidid/swiss-gc
Go into the files and copy the swiss.dol (may have the release number as well) into the root of the SD… then rename it ipl.dol

Make a folder (title doesn’t matter) and put your GC iso files into it.
That’s it… you can now play your GameCube games

If you want to install some emulators, watch the video for instructions… then grab an emulator to try:

SNES: github.com/dborth/snes9xgx (go to releases and get the GameCube version)
