modchip, softmod, but what about my idea

[aussiebloke]

your either a yank or a stuborn canadian. your all the same.

instead of being easy going like us australians you should know that alot of old games are bloody cheap to buy. second hand, classifieds, etc

or if you know what your talking about, you'd have remembered that the ps2 scene in the early stages told people to use demo discs from magazines which are FREE with ya magazine to use as cheap alternate boot disc.

bloody president bush, he's the reason why your country thinks they are more superior to the rest of the world. lol.

in response to your 3 staggered statement

1. To get the 2 discs to fit into each other would require quite a tight fit as stated by aussiebloke. This will result in disc warpage and possible damage to your laser.

A. come off it. half the rental gamecube games i hire from blockbuster are warped from people having trouble taking the disc out from centre of dvd case. so warping is not an issue. discs are versitile for this reason. unless ya disc has been placed in sun and is greatly warped then what your saying would make sence.

2. Now anyone with any real common sense would say put interlocking teeth on the discs so they act as cogs. But this may result in damage to data on the burned disc.

A. look at the barcode on an original. teeth are not required to make a cog effect locking system, as this would not only be stupid as teeth on cogs snap, and for the average home user, who wants to be cutting 2 x cog pattern when my simple idea of 2 rings is much more simpler.

3. Lastly, who the hell wants to damage an original disc just to get a backup to work?

A. already answered up top.

Ingenius indeed. Now youve not only insulted 2 countries but embarassed your own with your remarks.



Bye bye for 2 weeks.





Tyler!

tyler, i think your missing the point of aussie's question...would the dumb ol' gamecube be able to discern the difference of a alien barcode fitted into any old generic gamecube disc (whether it be original media or backup). It's obvious there are machinist tools out there, that once, when the barcode section of a disc is bored out (probably a game like luigi's mansion), you simply compensate for the 'bite' of the bit. When all is said and done, you have a snug fit, and then simply use a polyer cement of sorts. Of course this all means nothing if a barcode is married to its game.

[TylerDurden]

Give it a shot then. Im not gonna ruin any games like that myself. His ban stays, though because of his insults.

[seaneyb2003]

hey,

thats some bad ass attitude he has there! lmao i wouldnt waste my money on that scheme but give it a go.

[Jay_83]

Sorry but i'm with tyler....it's a stupid idea

The concept is nothing new, swap magic discs are simply ps2 demo discs which have been resurfaced with the swap magic code. Hence the ps2 thinks it's a original and boots.

The whole process of doing that is highly expensive and needs a printing factory in order to do so.

The compression rate on gamecube discs is so great that there simply isnt ANY margin for error.
