Experimenting on ways to boot disks in GC

[gamesmell]

Ive doing some experaments with the gamecube and I think I may be able to boot GC copys useing some code I wrote but one things is missing (maybe why noone else could) I need a program that can copy gc disk's to regular DVD-r's I could not find one that can in any way I will tell everyone about it working or not after im able to test if it is harmfull to the gamecube but first i need the missing thing


(to anyone that read my post in CD/DVD Software & Utilities this is NOT!!! I repeate NOT related in any way (though it might work I dont know))

:: Burning a Game to Cd or Dvd

To burn a gamecube game to a cd or dvd in order to play it with
this loader, burn the gcm/iso file as follows:

Data Mode 1
2048 bytes per sector

Do NOT burn the gamecube image file onto the disc as a file itself,
burn it direct to disc.

To burn with 'Nero' select 'Burn Image', 'Block Size' of 2048 bytes,
no 'Image Header' or 'Footer'. Dont tick 'Scrambled', 'Swapped'
or 'Raw Data'.

snoop wrote this give it a try

[gamesmell]

dose doing this retain its format?

[gamesmell]

IM useing Nero Burning rom and I dont see any of those settings

[snake2]

recorder --> burn image
select the image file then it says its an unknow format and asks you for the settings

[gamesmell]

I got it to record but those settings did not pop up im not shure it was recorded the way it needs to be to work but ill try it out ill probubley get back to you once im done testing things probubley in a day or two step one is removing the GC case thats going to be the hardest part

lol removing the gamecube top case is easy. you could buy mini-dvd-Rs. but it dont matter, your gamecube cant read them unless u get a bios to overwrite the current gamecube bios.

[gamesmell]

I wrote something if it works properley will will temererarolly put in a secant set of bios and tell it to use that set instead Ive been working like a mad man on it night and day for the past week bareley sleeping an hour every 2 days and i finally think i got something that might work BUT getting into the gamecube is extreamley hard and ive yet to devise a way to get into it dose anybody know where I can buy a tool for opening the Gamecube (good thing I dont have a job or id never get it done)

[Bushwick2002]

[gamesmell]
