how to backup gc games without pso or action replay
firstly the things u need
a chipped gamecube (i have a viper chip with a cobra 1.2 bios)
a gamecube broadband adaptor
a dvd writer
gcos file if u do not already have it installed
software like nero to burn your iso
a blank dvd disk(i have a new lid so i can use normal size disks not these mini ones)
and finally a original game(i used mario party 6)
i then had to flash my chip with a vgc file simply burn it with other files any will do till the disk is almost full then put it in your gc then select
disc explorer then select the file gco_0001 then select the file gcos_pso.dol once it has finished u will see some options including your ip address take note of this and your gateway and subnet mask
then select backup game it will then say insert original game and press a when ready so do this then it will say something like now get file http://192.168.1.32/backup.iso(this may be different for you)then go to your pc and go to network connections mine is local area connection then right click and select properties then internet protocol (tcp/ip)
click properties then click on use the following ip address and where it says ip address type in the default gateway you took a note of on your gc i mentioned earlier
then your subnet mask
then your gc ip address in the default gateway option (i know it seems stupid but thats what i had 2 do)
then click ok and close the windows
then type in the url the gc has given you (now get file
http://bla bla/backup.iso where you would type in a website address on your internet explorer on your pc then It will ask you where you want to save the iso after you have selected where you want 2 save the iso simply wait for it to download took me about 45 mins (depends on game and your internet speed(i guess).when game has downloaded close all the windows and shutdown your gc then open up (i used nero express but anything will do aslong as it will burn iso's) anyway with nero express select disc image or saved project option where it says files of type open the drop down window and select image files (nrg,iso,cue)then where it says look in (at top of window)locate your iso then select the iso a new window will open put your writing speed to lowest speed you can (mine was 4x)then click next it will now start 2 burn your iso well done thats it enjoy your game.thanks to the peoplke who made the chips and the bios and to Xboxmodder999 and to bushwick2002 and to anyone else who has helped me on the way.if anyone needs any more help or links to get some of the things i mentioned earlier like the lid please just let me know.i hope this tut was usefull i did this tut as i have not come acroos anywhere that tells me how to make backups of my gc games without using pso game or a action replay good luck.
