This video showcases the PicoBoot, a fairly recent mod for the Nintendo GameCube utilizing the Raspberry Pi Pico. The main goal it achieves is being an easy option to play games from solid state memory while maintaining disc read functionality. Top tier is the easiest way to describe it if for nothing else other than its accessibility. XenoGC and GCLoader feel like a distant past with the Pico in hand. What do you think about this GameCube mod?
