These are pinned Open Shop Channel builds; check each project for newer upstream releases. Model labels use the linked OSC manifests with visible storage exceptions where package evidence is narrower. Cave Story and Helium Boy are excluded from the Mini filter. Package CRCs, native executable headers, byte counts and SHA-256 were inspected without running the downloads. Physical console operation has not been tested. Homebrew Channel banner artwork is credited on each card. The original system tools and GameCube resources follow below.
