Gamecube, finally cracked :)

Snoop [CP] · #1 12-10-2003, 19:47

Sup guys,

The GC development scene is about to go full steam ahead with the release of Animal Crossing Loader 1.1

This loader basically lets you stream GameCube ISOs from your PC to your Cube using the BroadBand Adapter and the Phantasy Star Online exploit. No need for modchips or external hardware.

I have decided to host the file on my site. It is designed for dev usage rather than warez. If this post contravenes any rules, please feel free to delete.

A review will be posted shortly and perhaps a compatibility chart as well.

The file can be found in this post.

Argh, and I was just about to post this, heh

Oh well, so are there any technical aspects on how this works posted?

Bushwick2002 · #4 15-10-2003, 04:44

Errr yeah, I actually read that link (it was the one I was planning to post)

I know it explains HOW to do it, but I was more interested in it explaning how it works, not just how to do it. Anyone know?

I assume you would have to have the images on your PC already right? If so how do you extract and make a working image?

Tyler!

bobfffg · #7 15-10-2003, 09:28

as Tyler already said, how do you make these images? CloneCD? I've read through the post on MaxConsole but there's nothing in there which tells you how you make images of the GC games...

Cyber Akuma · #8 15-10-2003, 09:49

Same way you do it with DC and Xbox, you connect it to your pc and make it dump the cd to the pc

Though with gamecube its a little different, instead of hacking it then feeding it a slave program that makes it dump a game disk to PC like the DC and Xbox do, you have to open it up an dre-wire it, then connect it to the pc. You ar ebasically re-wiring it to act as a PC Mini-DVD drive, there was downloadable drivers-firmware to make it work too. I remember seeing pictures of the entire setup long ago when the Zelda Wind Waker iso was first released.

Do you happen to have a link to something explaining this in more detail I may just go get a GC and try it. Maybe. But I still would like to learn it.

Tyler!

The link I had is the same one that Bushwick2002 posted

Basically whats happening (from what I understand) is that you turn your PC into a server, then use phantasy star online to connect the GC to your pc, then use the pc to upload code to the GC which makes it ready.

Then you load an iso into the pc server program and it streams the iso to the GC through the BBA, making the GC use the ethernet adapter as the Mini-DVD drive.

Snoop [CP] · #11 15-10-2003, 15:31

From my understanding, there are a number of internal software tools which enable you to create GC images.

Reeeeeeeeeeeealy?

This interests me, got any of them or any info on them?

Btw.............. are these ripped isos readable by the pc? What I mean is, can you use a program like ISO Buster to view the actual files in the iso? That is what I am mainly interested in, because I love encoding fmv intros/cutscenes of games I like into xvid on my PC. If I could actually read the files in an ISO this would really make ripping them easier.

iso buster cant even read xbox iso files. but there are programs to read the actual files inside the gamecube iso like GcmSplit or the GC browser that let u read the files on a disc. as for extracting a gamecube image from a disc, u do the same thing as booting up a gamecube image file, but just load a .dol file that will let you steam the files onto your pc. but as Cyber Akuma its more harder then Xbox and DC dumping.

Cyber Akuma · #14 16-10-2003, 08:25

So what programs are there that let you extact/view files from xbox and gamecube isos? Do you have any specific names or links?

Snoop [CP] · #15 16-10-2003, 14:15

I've spoken with someone who is using the current tools available, but I've been told that due to them being internal, I couldn't have them or even their names... Talk about secrecy

They could be just leading me on, but they haven't in the past and I don't know why they would now...
