USING THE V0.2 BIOS
Here is a detailed description on how to use the Cobra BIOS v0.2.
A) Place any ORIGINAL
retail (store-bought) GameCube game disc in your console and close the lid. Ensure the Viper GC Programmer is disconnected from the back of the unit's flex cable, and then POWER ON the GameCube... a PLEASE WAIT screen will appear. As you can see this is for BIOS v.02.
NOTE: As mentioned on THIS screen, if you are trying to play a retail ORIGINAL GameCube game disc, you must hold X on your Player 1 controller before POWERING ON your machine (to skip the Cobra BIOS, and load the ORIGINAL game disc using the original/OEM GameCube BIOS instead).
(B) After 2-3 seconds a 2-digit number will appear like THIS
in the upper-right corner of the screen following the BIOS revision V0.2/
(in the picture
notice it is 26). For your reference, this number correlates to your current GameCube motherboard/laser combination when discussing related issues with others here.
C) After the numbers appear, you will see a SWAP DISC NOW prompt. You now have 4-5 seconds to OPEN THE LID using the GameCube's Eject Button and replace (swap) the ORIGINAL GameCube game disc with your LEGAL GameCube back-up disc.
Close the lid, and the console will now begin to load the game!
D) If your Viper GC module is functioning properly AND also if your back-up GameCube game disc is burned correctly the normal GameCube loading screen (minus the ghey ass branded 'ps$nfo.com' text) screen will appear briefly... followed by YOUR GAME
of course. Enjoy! =]
