+
+{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
+
+## Disassembly
+Follow the [disassembly](/disassembly) until you have removed the fan bracket
+
+## Requirements
+* GameBit screwdriver(see disassembly)
+* Philips screwdriver(see disassembly)
+* 3D printer(or you can buy the part from a printing service online)
+* A soldering iron
+* Replacement connector(since the fan you buy probably wont have the proper connector, this can also be harvested from the stock gamecube fan if you don't mind a bit of destruction)
+## Variations
+After removing the fan bracket you have two choices, the [40mm](/files/fan/40mmbracket.stl) bracket, which works with 40mm fans(including noctua), or the [50mm](/files/fan/50mmbracket.stl) bracket, which works with 50mm fans(currently, noctua doesn't offer one, but there are 50mm fan's available).
+
+### 50mm
+[Download](/files/fan/50mmbracket.stl)
+
+The 50mm fan bracket is larger, as it replaces the entire mounting part for the fan. As such it takes longer to 3D print.
+
+![50mm bracket installed inside cube](/images/50mm.ext)
+
+### 40mm
+[Download](/files/fan/40mmbracket.stl)
+
+The 40mm bracket is smaller and fits inside the stock bracket, since it's just an adapter for the stock mounting bracket. This means less print time, but the fan does have to be smaller and can't move as much air.

+
+## About the xenoGC
+
+The XenoGC Install is a lot easier than it first seems, though it does require a fair bit of soldering knowledge.
+
+First, check out the [disassembly guide](/disassembly) before continuing! You need to have the RF Shield removed from the drive(looking at the PCB of the drive).
+
+There are two types of installs, wired and wire-free. Since the xenoGC is an open-source modchip(meaning anyone can make it), it's been cloned countless times, and the specifications of the pcb might be off. For this reason we personally recommend a wired install.
+
+If you need a video in order to understand, [this one by rockergaming](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRbmqxqEL8Q) covers the entire install and even disassembly(though through timelapse)
+
+## Installing
+
+### Wire-free install
+
+![solder points](/images/xenogc/install.jpg)
+
+### Wired install
+
+Referencing the image below, use some small wire like 30 or 32awg magnet wire for the data wires and 22awg for power and ground(power is pad 10 and ground is pad 1 in the image below)
+
+![alt solder points](/images/xenogc/altpoint.webp)
+
+## Testing / Troubleshooting
+
+When you power on the cube you should see a red LED light up and then turn green(or turn orange depending on the version). this indicates the drive has been patched and *should* read burned / out of region discs. If you aren't using out of region(but official) discs but instead burned media, proceed to the next step
+
+### Laser adjustment
+
+Typically this step is required, you want to turn the potentiometer on the cube to lower the resistance, we recommend going about 10ohm at a time. use a multimeter to verify the correct resistance.

@@ -20,13 +20,33 @@ There are three (easy and modern) ways to boot into homebrew.
 - The third is an ODE, or an optical drive emulator.
   * currently, at the time of writing, the GCLoader (only ODE available) is out of stock. We advise against opting for the cloned "GCLoader Lite's" you see on ebay as these have lots of issues.
 
-## Ways
+## Methods
 ### XenoGC
 - This is probably what most people think of when it comes to homebrewing a gamecube. Solder a modchip onto your disc drive and read a burned game(it's a bit more involved than that but we will cover that on [this page](xenoInstall)).
 
 ### Game Save Exploits
 - This is the second way, it is usually free (if you already have the game) or cheap and generally easy to setup
-  * You can find more instructions on the [save game exploit](saveGameExploit) page!
+  * You can find more instructions on the [save game exploit](saveExploits) page!
 
 ### ODE(GCLoader)
 - This is probably the easiest to do long term, short term requires a bit of knowledge on the cube. You essentially replace the disc drive with an SD card. This means you can autoboot a Swiss disc iso, but you can no longer use actual discs
+
+## Legacy / Complicated
+
+### PSOLoad
+
+Checkout [this page](/PSOLoad)
+
+* requires a BBA and a copy of PSO Episode 1/2
+
+### Action Replay
+
+Checkout [this page](/actionReplay)

+## Required
+* Official BBA(BroadBand Adapter)
+* PSO Disc (Episode "1&2" only, not 1&2plus, not 3)
+* PC([Windows](/files/psoload/PSOLoad_Win.zip), [mac OSX](/files/psoload/PSOLoad_Mac.zip), or [linux](/files/psoload/PSOLoad_Linux.zip)) Running the PSOLoad exploit server
+
+## Running the exploit
+
+1. Launch PSO.
+2. Go to options, network option, provider option, click yes and proceed to the network config screen.
+3. Choose "manually set IP Adress" and hit next
+4. Enter the ip of your computer running PSOLoad for the DNS, the various commands for this are below(on windows you can run `ipconfig` and look for the IPv4 Adress, on linux you would run `ip a` and look for the IPv4 for your network interface. For mac, if on a wired connection use `Ipconfig getifaddr en1` and for wireless `ipconfig getifaddr en0`)
+    * Windows: `ipconfig`
+    * MacOSX: if on a wired connection use `Ipconfig getifaddr en1` and for wireless `ipconfig getifaddr en0`
+    * Linux: `ip a`
+5. In a terminal / command promp in the same directory as your PSOLoad application, copy a homebrew dol(for this purpose we will assume you are loading swiss) and launch it using `PSOload.exe swiss.dol`
+    * On Mac and Linux you need to set the program to be executable if it isn't already(`chmod +x psoload2`) and run it with this command: `./psoload2 swiss.dol`
+6. Now on PSO choose the Online Game option at the title screen. Follow the onscreen directions and create your character. After you have created your character and saved it to the mem card and the game asks if you agree to the user terms say yes. The game will begin to load and you will see a warp hole type screen. At this point the game is initializing the Gamecube BBA for connection and you should pay attention to your command prompt screen to verify you have received the messages that your content is being saved on the memory card.
