A brand new GameCube mod in 2022!  Who saw that coming?

Here's a video of me fumbling my way through my first attempt at the PicoBoot modchip installation which makes use of a Raspberry Pi Pico flashed with custom firmware from webhdx - it's an amazing creation and allows me to load games from SD card without the need for an optical boot disc.

Inspired by the (far superior) video from @Macho Nacho Productions
