After a fucking long time I finally got a SD card that is small enough to try this. These old SD cards are hard to find.
So now I have
– An SD card smaller than 4GB,
– An adaptor for inserting SD cards into the Memory Card slot
– Action Replay for Gamecube
Now, do I have everything I need to lead games and software from the SD card?
Or do I need something else?

No, because I'd usually consider that before dumping time and effort into such. I mean, the Gameboy Player is a kind of valid reason, but the Wii's got a VGBA emulator port anyhow, I think. But the Gamecube controller's D-pad does bring down utility a bit. Still wishing I'd sprung for an SNES-to-Wii controller adapters when those were being produced.
And what's up with your keyboard? No apostrophe or something?
d50bc4 No.15799567
The place to look up tutorials on getting that setup working would be GBAtemp, most people here are correct that a wii with a soft mod is a much better option(two generations in one, virtual console and emulators, faster load times from USB with much larger storage space, cheaper than getting an action replay disc and memory card/SD reader, virtual memory cards for GC, still has working online games, adapters to use almost any controller) so won't bother with what you're trying to do with the GC.

This is a good resource for GC stuff. If you have any games, some can use hacked saves to boot homebrew as well. (If you inject Swiss.dol you can boot Fat32 SD cards directly instead of the shitty 4GB limit you're stuck with.)
You have to use a hacked Wii to do this in the first place, but there are some benefits to using the original GC for homebrew. (Quicker to get a game up and running, BBA support if you have it, GBA player which you mentioned, better component video quality, autism, etc)
I just want BBA support on Nintendont already. Devolution has had it for 4 years now, but Nintendont still can't implement it properly. I had to read through every BBA request to learn about that last part. Really wish they would mention that a little more publicly considering it's a highly requested feature.

Discontinued to my knowledge, so you'd have to try to find someone selling them on the aftermarket. And considering both the VC, ability to easily hack a wii as an emulation machine, and lack of a native release of an actual SNES style controller, you might be hard pressed to find one for sale. And the Hori import dogbone controller certainly isn't cheap either.
