maybe if you burnt it like this the freeloader would play it? has anyone tried?

It wont play it! There are other things the GC Console looks for when playing games.

iso buster
 

Hello PPL, i have recently come across Wario World - Which i got from somewere on the net - I downloaded it and hardly any of the ISO readers i had on my PC could read the file structure except for ISO buster and GC-Tool.
I dont really want to waste a DVD-R disc trying to burn the Wario world ISO - But does anyone know if it would work?
last time i checked Gamecube could not yet Read any DVD-R discs without a modchip or laser modification which isnt available yet.
I know it MAY burn OK with ISO buster but would the GCN be able to read the disc?
Thanks for your help PPL

Re: iso buster
 

no asking about pirated games!!!

this forum is absolutley pathetic!!!
You can talk about hacking cracking, burning and everything else illegal but not about running a backup game? thats a bit stupid.
u can also talk about burning games and how to burn them too. Everyone knows where to get them from...
Whats so bad about asking if a method would WORK?

Laters, nolimit966!





Tyler!

New update guys... Check out some screens here: http://www.consoleparadise.com/forum...=1942#post1942

"GCD-R is a GCM ripping tool for gamecube, running over the PSO exploit. It will allow users to backup their legally owned games. We're hoping for a release soon and not counting any forseable problems we are expecting a release withing the next two weeks."

wicked

I have good reporters! hehe - People just send you stuff when you have a website, it's kinda cool ;)

hehe nice

My bad TD! I simply cut and paste part of the nfo without really reading it...

I understand but, would you mind editing?



Tyler!

I changed my post, however can't you edit posts?

Cheers...

u can edit them by click edit...?

LOL, an admin like you should know that since Im not a mod for GC threads I cant edit them. That might change though. ;)



Tyler!

hehe - I didn't even pay attention to who was mod of this section!

You post here more than some members. You SHOULD be mod in this section :D

hehe suure

| |
| Platform.: PC/GameCube Filename...: S3-ACL14.ZIP |
| Released.: 15th Nov, 2003 GOD / Rars.: 1 zip |
| |
| |
(2)>> Release Info: << )
| |
| Starcube proudly presents the 5th release of Animal |
| Crossing Loader... |
| |
| New Features: |
| |
| * Minor perfomance\compatibility improvements - Forget |
| 'stream fixing' enjoy MKDD music 100%. |
| * Major file system bug fixed - Try any games that |
| crashed during play now |
| |
| For all those that missed the official saving advice and |
| 'save hack' instructions first time round here it is: |
| |
| * Use slot B where possible |
| * Remove memory card and insert only when prompted |
| * Allow menus to load fully before attempting to save |
| * Try saving at places when streaming is at a minimum |
| |
| For example in True Crime, do not save until after you |
| have completed a mission, saving works fine between |
| missions. To load the game remove the memory card at the |
| Starcube intro and wait until the True Crime main menu. |
| After the menu is fully loaded and music skipping is at |
| a minimum try to load a game with no memory card in the |
| slot. When prompted insert the memory card and it will |
| load just fine. |
| |
| For games including Wario Land, F-Zero Soul Calibur 2, |
| Billy Hatcher and maybe others you may use the 'save |
| hack'. The save hack allows you to skip BBA reads |
| manually and stop it interfering with memory card |
| access. To activate the save hack hold Z from the |
| Starcube intro until you see 'Save Hack Enabled' appear |
| in the PC console. You can now use D-Pad up or left to |
| manually skip BBA reads. This is perfectly safe when the |
| BBA is not streaming critical data, for example music. |
| Performing the save hack during loading or other foolish |
| times will definetly crash the game, you have been |
| warned. With experimentation you may be able to save |
| games that did not previously work. This is just a |
| temporary solution for a few of the games until a proper |
| fix has been developed. Several games may still hang |
| with a memory card in the slot and will not save even |
| with this hack. |
| |
| Enjoy! |
| |

Oh yeah, congrats Tyler for being added as a mod in this section :D - Now you can edit my posts! hehe

yep, I heard about that. looks like no AC 1.5 loader coming out. I guess we gotta wait for another release group to make a different loader. At least we could Rip our own ISOs now.

Jurai was the freakin lamer who released it. I heard there is a 1.5 out which is an internal release...

Is it over?!?! - Perhaps not...

Thanx to gokuguy of Newz and cubehacker.net

News is just breaking about GameCube games getting pirated in Hong Kong. Not by way of mini CD or using a modified GameCube, but the Panasonic Q. Read on...

"But these news are just too good to wait any longer: Using the Panasonic Q with it's DVD playback availability, the first Gamecube games have been successfully pirated and copied onto DVD-R format. We have seen it with our own eyes and tested them immediately with our machines - no hoax this time. They work flawless with both modded and "naked" Qs. Available titles so far include Super Monkey Ball, Star Wars, Extreme GIII Racing and Hyper Sports 2002 Winter. All titles are japanese versions, because according to our source, "american titles are not widespread in the Hong Kong market due to a lack of potential customers with modified Panasonic machines, which are still very expensive and people still prefer the PS2", but we assume this may change very soon, as we all know, asians are going copy-crazy for everything. The backups retail in the local market for around US$ 12.80 (100.00 HKD) and are pressed on Apple media."

sweet, hope there will be a modchip for a normal cube soon

yea, i cant wait

if i have a pal gamecube and pal phantasy star can i run usa and jap isos?

i doubt it..
i dont think its region free..
anyone else?

its region free, I'm able to play Pal and Jap Nstc games on my USA NSTC Gamecube.

Think of it this way... Nintendo's Major anti-priacy plan is not game-authenticity checks... The idea is that it is extremely difficult to get the disks to be read by a pc and even more difficult to get them burned on a small dvd or whatever it is... The idea is that if you can burn it, more power to you... but you cant. If i was sittin on a anti-piracy power like that id do anything to protect it.

Ok, I think this thread has gone on long enough. Everyone feel free to make a new post about other issues or findings.
