And... they did it...

A Spanish group affirm that they have cracked the gamecube, and have a working copy of Starfox Adventures.
This is the address:
http://pub137.ezboard.com/fnacionnin...icID=725.topic

The translation to English is the following:

After so many fakes, and speculations, time has arrived to confirm that Gamecube has been cracked! We knew it some few days ago, but we have decided not to risk until we could see it with our own eyes. The autors of the achievement are Spanish, and want to be known as enyeTOPiA. The crack of the cube is similar as the one used with DreamCast. because it is done by software, and only a bootcd is needed (it seems like the cube can read both cdr and dvdr) to load game backups, or importation games.
We will upload the bootcd iso as soon as we have it (they promised it for tonight), because they have only provided us the bootcd, and the buckup of SFA in a dvdr, and we cannot read it with the computer...

... blah blah blah...

I´m waiting for the bootcd. I will download it and record it as soon as they upload it. If it works... I will tell you.

Hugs and Kisses

If a boot cd is all that is needed, then nintendo is given too much credit for their copy protections. Their games will be easier to copy and play than the Dreamcast games were.

It´s another fake... oh, I hate them

This time I believed it grrrrr

Sorry Sorry Sorry

psx_paul · #5 31-12-2002, 03:24

I stickied it to save the same question being asked over and over again.

Quall999 · #6 31-12-2002, 12:31

lol, i see.

clarky · #7 01-03-2003, 10:52

uploader · #8 14-03-2003, 12:01

They is a boot disk out for the came cube, which does work like the dream cast one...

the boot disk is called freeloader....

Doesn't that just allow you to play imported games though?

Yes.
But I'm willing to bet it will become needed when they finely copy GameCube games. Much like GameShark is needed for the PS2s, with the "swap" modchips.

uploader · #11 17-03-2003, 13:44

yes it would be needed when finely copy GameCube games.
hopefully they will be a way to fit a external cd rom drive to it
like the old e doctor for the n64

Man its taking so long to crack this gamecube which is funny nintendo got this in check but what if other systems do the same then we would be all crappin our pants right. But then again.. hell..... everything that has to do with software or media are copied in due time and I aint complaining.

AXmichigan · #13 18-08-2003, 14:19
