Well, I just got blindwrite, I heard if your cd drive is capable, this thing can read through almost anything. Next time I reboot my pc I will try it.

i had a old comupter with sony dvd drive(i still have it but don't use it anymore) which could read gamecube games( that mean that my computer wouldn't freeze) but when i would check the size it say about it is music file and about 4 mb big. and if i put xbox games, it say the same thing that it is music file and about 4 mb big(i tried halo)

I can read Gamecube games, and get a 1.56gb file from CloneCD. But I don't have a particually good DVD Reader, so I doubt I'm getting anything everyone else isn't already getting. I've heard people say that there are dummy files or whatever, how can I check the file to see if it is?

just try zipping the file with winzip and see how big it turns out

I get my 1.56gb Tony Hawks Image file turned into a 1.55gb zip file.

I also got a .sub file with the .img when I used CloneCD which I didn't mention, which is 65.2.mb

This is all from a Tony Hawks 3 disc, with a Pioneer DVD-Rom 117

thats quite interesting what version and settings did u use on cloncecd.

when u were creating the image file did u have the cloncecd log window open? sometime it will just create dummy data block but if u read the log it will tell you that

try again and have a look :)

"writting dummy secters" :(

Oh well, guess its nothing :)

Hi,

i backuped a gamecube game with CloneCD, i have a image
to 1.56GB and when i open it with isobuster i see one audio file to 1.56Gb is it normally ???

i have a DVD recorder Pioneer A05 and few blank Mini DVD's.

How can i record it ???

Sorry for my english but i'm french !!!! :D

Thanks for responses

i really adoubt it will be copied properly - if anything it will be a dummy file - If you hold your disc up to the light you will see it has a ring of data missing that normal CDs and DVDs have! Its quite impossible for a normal DVD reader to read a cube disc.

boot
 

what is the definition of boot? i mean where does it need to load to, after it does the gamecube thing at the begining with the blocks? because if you start your gc up without a disc in, it comes up on the screen with the memorycard edit thing. well when you start a game from there, it goes directly into it..

im not shur if this is what you need but its worth a try. =)

I think I speak for everyone when I say:

............................

i have a dvd burner, if some one knows for sure that this works let me know i will try it and see if it works, i have clone cd, and all of the other good ones.

OK guys, I am from the PS2 scene but I think I can help you. You are using CloneCD to read off the image and it comes to 73 minutes etc... That's you're problem. It only creates images from CD's - you can't use it for mini DVD. What you need is some dedicated DVD burning software. We use Prassi Primo DVD from www.prassieurope.com and the PX engine update with GREAT success! Try a couple of you're mini DVD's with that and it should work. Go to www.psxcopyworld.co.uk for some instructions on the program. Hope this helps you guys...

To do with the earlier Q: You can burn you're CloneCD image in one of the numerous ways listed below:

CloneCD creates ISO files so you could use Padus Disc Juggler, but ideally use NERO BURNING ROM as I know for certain that it has DVD-ROM support. Give it a go and let us know how you get on...

i'm a ps2 scener as well, and i was thinking just that :)

notice the name of the program........cloneCD.

try using Prassi PrimoDVD, RecordNow MAX, one of the latest Neros, or one of the latest DiscJugglers.

Discjuggler is a very versatile program, it might shed some light on the GC.
