What's the catch?

So, I'm just one guy. I don't have all the GameCube hardware available to me. I cannot test things like the FlippyDrive, USB Gecko, SD Gecko, SD2SP2, or SD2SP2 v2. I've only tested this with GCVideo and GCLoader. That said, it will likely work out of the box. If you encounter any issues, please file a bug report or DM me on Discord.

Additionally, I have not provided any builds for Wii or Wii U because I have not tested it on that hardware at all yet.

I'm brand new to C and GameCube development, so I did rely heavily on Claude to help me accomplish all this. That said, it was not without great effort and care, and I did write a decent chunk of this myself as well, for example, a lot of the UI was heavily modified by yours truly, and I put the finishing touches on the GX pipeline re-write. It's not as easy as you'd think! I do not want to mislead anyone and take credit for everything, I'm not that GOATed.

Side note

Holy crap! This emulator is downright impressive! The jaw-dropping visuals of the 90's is really done justice by this emulator. Games load super fast, graphics are razor sharp (or tastefully post-processed), and wow, there is basically ZERO input lag! It feels incredible! I'm so grateful for the fine folks who put this together. My work was easy, the real magic is in this amazing emulation and this easily extensible UI framework they put together. Thanks guys!
