GameCube Backup Manager is a software that helps users to manage their Nintendo GameCube ISO and GCM file backups. It allows for the easy transfer of these files to both FAT32 and NTFS devices.

The program's interface is similar to that of the popular Wii Backup Manager, making it user-friendly and easy to navigate. This allows users to effortlessly manage their GameCube backups with minimal hassle. Whether you're looking to transfer your backups to a new device or simply organize them on your current one, GameCube Backup Manager is a great tool to have on hand.
