yea i dunno
i dunno whats goin on with gamecue releases
all ive heard is tthe freloader and the gba/gb/gbc thingy
well see how things go

its not my site and yes the prices are crap, but hey it had some info. If you actually read it said that plugs into an external port in the gamecube. I did hear a rumor that it could be an external dvd rom that takes full size dvds and that you could burn 3 games to it. sorry if i upset anyone .......temper, temper.

It would be possible but VERY VERY stupid of Nintendo to make a backdoor like that................

It would be interesting to see Nintneod's reaction if it actually works XD

yea dude
thatd be sweet if it does work

plz dont try using clonecd on discs that arent cds. the ide port idea is interesting though.

yea lets hope some team or the other discovers some link or somethin with the ide ports

Ok guys , just foget everything you tried o want to try !!!

1. Trying to rip a cube DVD with clonecd which is just a CD recording software...get it ? The only result that you have after burning your game is as it was previously said is a dummy file !
We can still hope clonedvd will fix that for us ?

2.You can try what ever you want, the ONLY way to backup a cube game is that someone writes his own program to move the laser lens. Haven't you noticed something different from usual cd's ?

3.Forget about what everybody says as "the dvd runs backwards" and all the shiet...the cube is a console that uses "normal" media (not like the dreamcast...).

4.and IF we can make backups, forget it as there is no modchip coming out and no bootdisc except the freeloader which only boots IMPORT ORIGINALS.

===>CONCLUSION : The cube can be hacked if someone writes a proggy or hopefully clonedvd will fix this fo us AND a modchip.

gc image
 

anyone tried with alcohol 120 , and hoping they come out soon

with dvd support, which they already have but not released

Thats not the point, the way GameCube disks are made makes them unreadable on a PC.

as well as xbox
and dreamcast
and future systems
yada yada yada
a decently good beneficial prevention of backinup idea

Alcohol 120%
 

Has any one tried to use Alcohol 120%???
I've heard it can copy anything and its easy to obtain even though you must buy it if you want to know how to get it email me
I am also interested in finding out how to burn gc games so if any one would like me to try something i will
I will try to backup a gc game soon!

Soon, Dvd Writer 4 Me 2 Try Out
 

Theres soo many different ways i would like to try and experiment to be able to make a back-up for myself, sold my dvd burner = ( , was only 2.4 writer at the time HP200i, and waiting for a 6X writer and + - , bought it to back up all mame roms into one blank dvd, was nice 4.7 GB . Do also have that alcohol program and waiting for Clone DVD. Best of Luck

Let me try to make this clear ok?

YOU CANNOT BACKUP A GAMECUBE DISK BY A PC DRIVE

Ok, now that im clear, there IS a group that ripped a GC disk by modifying the gamecube itself. However, nobody cna text if the image works because there are no modchips for a gamecube out there ........... yet.

My thoughts
 

I've been reading on the technical aspects of the Gamecube's Drive, and I found that it differs from most optical drives in its read/write formatt. Its called Constant Angular Velocity, or CAV. Most drives are Constant linear Velocity or CLV. Now diffences between CAV and CLV is that CAV writes info at an angle as opposed to straight on with a CLV. The onlt drives that I know that support CAV are DVD+R/RW drives. It has to be a + drive. So if anyone out there has a + drive SHOULD be able to read it. So if you do go ahead and try it. Also i found a service known as Bit Torrent that says they have GC to d/l, you have to get the BitTorrent client to get them but if anyone wants to d/l it and try and burn the file on a CAV drive that would be great. The GC games are under the "Games" section at top. www.suprnova.org yes that is the right spelling, at the time of this post the website is down and I'm hopeing it will com back online.

I am pretty sure the disks are pripotery, a special format or filesystem only the gamecube can read, so far the only known way to read a gamecube disk is to hack a gamecube and make it a slave device to dump the disk into an iso. This is how they got zelda into an iso, I talked with the group that did it and saw pictures.

If there was a way to read gamecube disks in a pc, people would have done it by now.

well
 

well how'd they do it?

I told you

They hacked the GC itself and soldered a cable to it so they can connect it to the computer and use the computer to read the disk (from the hacked GC) on the computer using the cable they soldered to it.

well
 

is there a guide that explains this?

I dont know, its possible they might have released one but I dont know of any

My guess is that this will have to be done for every future console. This has to be done for DC, XBOX, and GC. I'm pretty sure sony will learn from thier mistakes.

Happy 100th reply , and almost 25,000 views

by now. Only Time May Tell .....

:D

good luck

Tryed to rip from a cd-rom station
 

Strange that clonecd will also ripp the cg disc from a normal cd-rom player with the same effect of ripping from a dvd-player.

The image turns out to be a #%$#@ file.

Remember the trick to zip it, to see if it's realy a 1.5GB image.

Is there any succesfull methode founded bij someone?
The moderator brothers, did they succes in connecting the gc to the pc and ripp off the games?

Considering that GC isos are everywhere on the net.............. isos that work......... yes they succedded

yep they succeded dorland. they just not sharing how to do it YET. just wait a month or 2 before they release the method on how to do it.

This is absolute B*******, I copied many DC-Games and i also used my Dreamcast "open" during the Ripping Process:
The Dreamcast startet to read from the inner Disc to the outer area.
The reason some people think, that the DC would read from outside is just the fact, that the Bootfile was placed outside, so if you turn on your DC with an original GD it will do this:

Checking if there are 2 sessions, first the inner PC-Area, then the outer GD (High Dense)-Area, after finding the 2nd Session it reads the 16kb Ip.bin placed in the Leadin-near-Area of Session 2.

In the IP-File is the name and the adress of the BIN-File written (and many many more), which is also knows as the 1ST_READ.BIN (name is not relevant since it is the same name as in the IP.BIN). Because This Executable is placed in the outer Area, the lense is going to the outer area, reads the file to memory and then it will read the normal used files on the disc just like every NORMAL CD-Drive does.....

So I hope this is clear now!

(P.S. I also have the SPECS given by SEGA of the GD-ROM)

this thread is basically done
since they found an official crack on it

Yep

good thing too
finally!

just curious if a modchip in way future would be able to be soo advance that a PS2 or XBox would be able to play GC games? Just a thought.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Im closing so people wont add anymore idiodic questions to this freakish post.



Tyler!
