After the swap is done, you ³³ can select Direct Disc Boot option again. ³ ³ ³³ - Read more about the different menu options below. ³³ ³³ ³³ -[THE MEDIA]---------------------------------------------------------- ³³ ³³ The GC drive in its default state only eats `high-quality` `DVD-R` and ³³ a few `MINI-DVD`-R. By tweaking your laser it's possible to have your GC ³³ read almost any media including DVD+R. For more info use google with ³³ GC laser tweak keywords. ³³ ³³ ³³ -[MAIN MENU]---------------------------------------------------------- ³³ ³³ DIRECT DISC BOOT : Play a backup or an original GC game from any ³³ region. ³³ ORIGINAL BIOS : Play an original game compatible with your GC ³³ region or enter GC BIOS menus. ³³ CONFIGURATION MENU: Change Cobra settings and view GC version info. ³³ DISC EXPLORER : Browse the content of the disc and load files. ³ ³ CHEAT CODES : Manage cheat codes ³³ CHANGE DISC : Change the disc without having to reset the GC. ³³ `PLUG-IN` : Execute the embedded Cobra `Plug-in`. Only available ³³ if a `plug-in` is loaded. ³³ ³³ ³³ -[DISC EXPLORER]------------------------------------------------------ ³³ ³³ The Disc Explorer lets you browse the content of the inserted disc. ³³ The following file systems are supported: ISO9660 (Level2 compatible, ³³ no joliet) and FST (GC native file system). ³³ ³³ The files with following extensions can be selected, loaded or ³³ executed by pressing the A button: ³³ ³³ .VGC : Viper GC flash file. Select this file to reprogram your Viper GC ³³ without the need of the Viper GC parallel port programmer. ³³ .DOL : Homebrew application. Select this file to execute it. Examples ³³ of homebrew applications are emulators, games, loaders, etc. ³³ .COD : Cobra cheat code file. Select this file to add cheat codes for ³³ a game without the need to enter it using the pad! ³³ .CBP : Cobra `plug-in`. Select this file to load a `plug-in` into Viper GC ³³ Memory. You can then execute it from the Cobra main menu. ³³ Examples of `plug-in` are disc rippers, MP3 players, loaders, etc. ³³ .PCM : ADPCM stream file (must be aligned on a 32kb boundary). ³³ .ADP : ADPCM stream file (must be aligned on a 32kb boundary). ³³ ³³ The disc explorer can also play any audio file encodded with GC native ³³ ADPCM format, regardless of its file extension. If you suspect a file ³³ is an ADPCM audio file, simply select it and see if it plays! ³³ ³³ ³³ -[CHEAT CODES]-------------------------------------------------------- ³³ ³³ If you want to use cheat codes, enter Cheat Codes menu,select a game, ³³ check the codes you want to use, exit the cheat selector and enable ³³ cheats. ³³ ³³ To add new codes follow `on-screen` instructions. The codes are ³³ compatible with decrypted AR codes. You can decrypt AR codes using ³³ the great GCNCrypt by Parayste. Never enter the first code of a given ³³ cheat code (validator code). You can also put .COD files on a DVD and ³³ load cheat codes from there, each file corresponds to one game. ³³ ³³ Cheat codes are working for backups and original games. ³³ ³³ ³³ -[MULTIBOOT DISCS]---------------------------------------------------- ³³ ³³ The MultiBoot features let you put several games on one disc. ³³ You can use Viper_Multi_Boot_ISO_Creator by LoonyCube to create ³³ MultiBoot discs easily. Technical info can be found in Cobra 1.1 NFO. ³³ ³³ ³³ -[COBRA `PLUG-IN` SYSTEM]----------------------------------------------- ³³ ³³ A `plug-in` is a small application that stays into Viper GC memory and ³³ can be executed from Cobra main menu. ³³ ³³ You can load `plug-in` (.CBP) from DVD Explorer. ³³ ³³ Another possibility is to embed the `plug-in` into the Cobra .VGC file. ³³ To do so you must append the `plug-in` to the Cobra .VGC file. Use the ³³ following DOS command line: "copy /b cobra.vgc+plugin.cbp out.vgc" ³³ You can then reprogram your Viper GC with the file "out.vgc" using the ³³ Viper GC Programmer or Cobra Disc Explorer. ³³ ³³ To create your own `plug-in` from a .DOL file, use the supplied program. ³³ `Plug-in` files (.CBP) can't be bigger than 45056 bytes but their ³³ corresponding executables (.DOL) can be a lot bigger, as `plug-in` are ³³ compressed. You can distribute your `plug-in` by sharing the .CBP file, ³³ but you're also free to distribute the Cobra .VGC file with your ³³ `plug-in` embedded! ³³ ³³ ³³ -[TECHNICAL INFO FOR DEVELOPERS]-------------------------------------- ³³ ³³ It is now possible to let the user change discs in your homebrew ³³ program. To do so, stop the disc using the usual E3 immediate command. ³³ Don't reinit the drive as usual to load the new disc. Instead call E5 ³³ command in `DMA-read` mode (read 0x20 bytes and discard them), followed ³³ by an immediate E0 immediate read command (discard the result). It ³³ works just as the reinit command would, so you must read the new Disc ³³ ID before reading anything else. ³³ ³³ Technical info about MultiBoot disc format can be found in Cobra 1.1 ³³ NFO File. Official .COD file sample can be found in Cobra 1.0 ZIP file. ³³ ³³ ³³ -[THE FUTURE]--------------------------------------------------------- ³³ ³³ As usual, much more to come :-) ³³ ³³ ³³ -[CLOSING WORDS]------------------------------------------------------ ³³ ³³ Special thanks to E*Flash for his help, RoM for the early units, ³³ Melan for the /48 GC, ATH for the Panasonic Q and to everybody that ³³ tried Cobra V1.1 and posted constructive feedback. ³³ ³³ You are free to redistribute this package as long as it's not changed, ³³ patched, ported, or whatever. ³³ ³³ Our code is free of any copyrighted code from third party. ³³ It is also free of any GPL licensed code, we have strong respect for ³³ other people's hard work. We only ask you to show similar respect ³³ toward our work. To put it in other words, if you are in the "right" ³³ side, draw the line between learning and stealing.
