yea thats right
also like the xbox too
but they also found some IDE ports on the gamecube
which could help..
but well see

Tried reading Luigi's Mansion JAP and Bioharard JAP with a Samsung DVD reader and a Pioneer 105 burner. Biohazard was simply ignored and CloneCD 4.2.0.2 hanged forever, Luigi's Mansion was accepted, but at he point of choosing DATA/GAME/AUDIO/ETC disc type, it spitted the disc out saying impossible to obtain informations from the disc (empty?).
Tried every disc type, always same result.
If I could make it read at least 1 game I could try burning it on a regular DVD-R, since I have Panasonic Q, which accepts regular size DVDs...

You dont be able to read it, no normal drive will. Somebody will have to use a modded gamecube and make a slave program similar to the one used on xbox and dreamcast to rip the games.

Check out "www.blade.cc" it says that a dvd rom add on is going to be released and will work like the doctor64 which was used for the N64. :D

A DVD-Rom addon? And just where would you put that thing? The Gamecube already uses a DVD-Rom, its just made to only be able to read the smalldiscs. There isnt even space to put in a normal DVD-Rom withotu casemodding first.

Youre just trying to get people to buy junk from your site arent you?

Edit: Plus the prices on almost everything is WWWAAAYYYY jacked up. $120 for a pocketstation? $69 for a DC ddr pad?

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.

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
