Ability to load native gc menu and/or disc drive on button hold
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With v0.1.4
I have my cubeboot setup to load swiss.dol
, and I also setup custom program boots via other button presses. In addition, I'd like the ability to load a physical disc or the native boot menu via keywords in cubeboot.ini
.
This would allow me to load a physical disc or manage system options/memory cards via the official menu without having to first load swiss and then back out.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'm imagining a config like the following:
default_program = swiss.dol
button_start = menu
button_down = disc
button_up = gbi.dol
...
Where menu
loads the default gamecube menu and disc
attempts to load a physical disc present in the disc drive.
I'm assuming at least the menu
keyword would be possible considering swiss has a function that allows you to quit swiss to the gc menu.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Load swiss and then navigate the swiss menu to back out to the gamecube menu. This is certainly doable, but not desirable. I'd like to skip this step when I have a disc or menu task I'd like to execute.
- Figure out how to build my own custom
.dol
s that load the menu/disc drive and load them withbutton_start = menu.dol
orbutton_up = disc.dol
. This is probably out of my wheel house personally.
I use iplboot for that... https://github.com/redolution/iplboot/releases
If you set the DPAD LEFT to iplboot.dol and you hold it until bootlogo finishes you're launched into the camecube's IPL
button_left = iplboot.dol
