# gc-memcard-adapter

Code for reading and writing GameCube memory cards with a Raspberry Pi.

See https://jamchamb.github.io/2018/12/03/gamecube-memory-card-raspi.html

## Setup

```console

# Enable the SPI interface

$ sudo raspi-config

# Install python development library to build py-spidev

$ sudo apt install python-dev

# Install python dependencies

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

```

## Usage

To read entire memory card contents to file:

`$ ./adapter.py -r original_dump.bin`

You can use this file with a memory card manager program such as the

Dolphin emulator's memory card manager. To write the updated file back

to the memory card, provide the original file as well as the modified one

(this prevents unneccessary writes to blocks that haven't changed):

`$ ./adapter.py -w original_dump.bin updated_dump.bin`

## Connection

The standard Raspberry Pi SPI pins should be connected to the corresponding

pins on the memory card, and GPIO pin 7 is used for the INT pin on the memory card.
