no offense, but if you don't even manage to find the information on how to do that, then you won't be able to use the dc in this way anyway. you can use the built in modem, a bba, or a coders cable to access the gd-drive
Be a noob! Don't read the FAQ!!!

Not sure why you would want to do that anyway unless your plan was to rip a game? What is your plan if you do?
