    Runnings Homebrew Code

    Can I just burn a 8 cm CD/DVD and use it in the GameCube?

    No. The GameCube reads no CDs/DVDs. There is no way to produce a GameCube compatible optical media using a CD/DVD burner.

    So do I run homebrew code on the GameCube?

    The PSOload method is the only way.

    What do I need in order to run homebrew code?

    A GameCube, any version of Phantasy Star Online, a Broadband Adapter, a memory card, and PSOload.

    Do I need a modchip?

    There are no modchips.

    Will any of this disable the ability to play games?

    No.
