gamecube and linux

ok i heard linux can be used with the GCN, i know nothing about linux, i was going to buy a while back but didn'tso i left it at that.but anyway i just need to know how to get startedwith linus and home brewing codes , and games, hackiing them, waht their for all that stuff so i can expand my possibilities with this $100 machine where nintendo neglected to do

how do i get started ?

sorry for being a lamer

since you are absolutely new to it, just use google for gamecube linux and get your reading glasses out. it isnt easy. it is an exploit in a certain online game, which allows you to load the gamecube linux os onto a 32MB memory card. you can tehn stream the raw data from a game to your pc system and rip it to the drive. this cannot be burned, cause gamecubes read the games backwards, but you can stream it back to the system and play the game... good luck. it is a long painstaking process, and isnt even worth it, to me. but i did it a while back, so it works.

to the first reply:

by the way, i like the pic, just probably be better to not respond if you dont know though. cause people like me just look through the list of posts with 0 replys, and you make it have one by doing that. funny pic though, ill have to email that to some people.

Gotcha. I know about the GC, but I just couldn't understand what he was asking about. Especially when he hit the "Homebrewed codes" I couldn't understand where he was going with that....

on the sites, they tell you that you cannot download codes that will copy the games, you ahve to make your own, which they refer to as homebrew.... and for the same legal reasons, i wont tell him how to do it on LQ..
