If you want to get away from using the disc to boot there are modchips that override the ipl and allow direct booting to the sd card. There's literally no reason that I can think of for such a device to exist.

The main reason is compatibility.
Although many games will boot and run ok from the SD adapter many wont.
They dont stream audio 100%.
The latest version of swiss has improved significantly though still not perfect.
Also if your CD drive fails there is a shortage of the chips that will enable you to boot straight from the SD.
So they are actually pretty use-full :)

I get what you are saying, but the gc disc drive is pretty darn reliable. By the time we have to worry about it wearing out I figure swiss will have progressed to the point to where it won't be needed.
btw pbj, I mentioned gc homebrew methods instead of the wii since, if I hadn't, someone would have brought up the Gameboy player and I'd have to type all of this anyway. If the hdmi solutions come down just a bit more I'm going to pickup a player and softmod my gc just for it.

But why? What could you possibly want to revisit on GameCube?
Titchgamer:
Dunno theres a lot of failed GC drives out there.
Oh and double dash lan link is the shiz....
