• I know I said I would never release another version, but I just felt like it.
• Just before I start, some of the pictures concerning GCOM were taken using older versions of GCOM, so just watch out.
  The pictures of GCOM, by the way, are very scrambled due to my poor quality TV Tuner Card. Sorry about this.
• And because of the lazy way I updated this, things may not make sense.

3. ON THE GAMECUBE…now, choose online play and create any character, you wont be using it anyway

6. After this is done, and all is well, it will connect to your computer. In about 15 seconds, it will connect, PSUL will upload a file to your memory card.
7. PSO will give an error: 'No.100 The line was disconnected' (this is meant to happen), and PSUL will look like this:
   

1. Open a command line; navigate to the folder with gcom24config.exe in it
2. Type:
   'gcom24config.exe –pcip 192.168.1.100 –gcip 192.168.1.32 –mask 255.255.255.0'

3. Press A
4. GCOM will read the disk, and then display
   ‘GO http://192.168.1.32/backup.iso’

1. Navigate to the folder with WGet
2. Use it, as follows:
   'wget.exe [options] [URL]'

1. Click the ‘Loaders’ tab at the top of the Phoenix window
   
2. Under ‘Select a task’, Select ‘Load a Gamecube ISO, GCM, or CGC File’
3. Choose the image file, with the ‘…’ button. Locate your ISO or GCM file, and open it. The header information from the image will be loaded into the ‘Now Playing’ Section.
4. Under ‘GC Loader’, make sure ‘GC Simulator’ is selected. This loader has the best compatibility.
   
5. Press ‘Load’
    

1. If you have followed the tutorial, PSO should have been configured correctly
2. Begin an online game. Choose any character. Press ‘Agree’. PSO then connects to your computer, and PSUL sends the loader to the Gamecube.
   
3. Now, there are 4 speed options to choose from. Scroll through the selections with the d-pad:
   100 Mbit Full Duplex
   100 Mbit Half Duplex
   10 Mbit Full Duplex
   10 Mbit Half Duplex
4. Start by choosing the fastest, and press A. If you receive an ‘INITALISATION ERROR’, try the next one down. If you receive INITIALISATION ERROR for every speed option, this means your computer’s IP address is not set to 192.168.1.100. Follow the instructions in 1B. Computer to set this up correctly.
5. When you find a speed that works for you, you will hear the Gamecube drive reset, then the game you are streaming will boot.
   
   

The server window on your computer will produce dots on the screen when data successfully transferred, and an X if the packet is lost. If you are receiving any X’s at all (I don’t), try reducing traffic on the network or closing any memory and processor-heavy programs on your computer.


Remember, streaming games over the network is slower than a disk being read, so games may play very choppily, especially if and when there is lots of streaming data\music\FMV (games like Rouge Squadron come to mind)

• To swap disks when streaming a two-disk game: When the game asks you to swap disks, press the ‘Disk Swap’ Button in Phoenix. Open the Gamecube lid (that needs to happen to trigger the open switch lid), then press OK in the dialog box that opened in Phoenix. Now choose the image for the next disk in the windows that opens. Now press OK in the next dialog box, and then close the Gamecube lid. That’s it. The new image will now load.
• When you are finished playing your game, just turn the Gamecube off. Then press the ‘Stop’ button in Phoenix. The server windows will close (if it’s visible), and now close Phoenix, you’re finished.
