yesterday i bought pikimin 2 and i want to keep a backup coz it's a great game . can gamecube read dvd+/- rw , and do i use
dvd-r or dvd+r . thanks and take care .

[Pop Smith]

No, the gamecube can't read +/- R or RW disks because there is no modchip out for the GameCube yet.

You need to pickup a Broadband Adapter and PSO episode I&II to back it up.
This way, it runs the game from your comp and streams it to your GCN.

Full Gamecube backup/load tutorial v1.0

--------------------

Phase 1: Initialize the memory card
Tools Needed: PSUL v1.1
Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Memory Card
Gamecube Broadband Adapter

Note: If you actually play Phantasy Star Online, you may want to use another memory card for this. Also, you only

have to initialize your memory card once, not before each rip or game load.

Step 1: Boot Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Pretty self explanitory.

Step 2: Setup Network Profile

When prompted for the TCP/IP settings, choose manual, do not auto-disconnect, and enter an IP address of

192.168.1.32 with a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.100. For the Primary DNS server,

enter 192.168.1.100. Start the PSUL utility on the PC side with the following DOS prompt command: "psul -s". This

make your PC into a sort of Phantasy Star Online game server. Now start an online game using the character you

chose and the DOL file will upload to your memory card allowing you to transfer game data to and from your PC.

Step 3: Configure TCP/IP on your PC

Access the TCPI/IP properties for the network card on your PC and change the IP address to 192.168.1.100

with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. No default gateway is required for this to work.

Step 4: Create a Character for Online Play

Next, create a character. It really doesn't how or which character you choose. When prompted for your

hunter's license, enter anything you wish. It also might be handy to select the save password to memory card as

well so you don't have to enter it each time.

Step 5: Start it all up

On your PC, run "psul -s" at a DOS prompt. It should then say waiting for connection or someting to that

effect. Next, start an online game of Phantasy Star using the character profile you chose. It will then try to

connect to your PC. If successful, your PC will display the messages "Saving user info on memory card..." and

"Done..."

--------------------


Phase 2: Extract ISO Image from Game Disc
As far as I know, this is what you need
GameCubeServer
Tools Needed: Gamecube ISO Ripping Server 1.0.0.29
Download Here: No link currently known
Initialized Memory Card (See Phase 1)
Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Gamecube Broadband Adapter


Step1: Boot Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Pretty self explanatory.

Step 2: Start Gamecube ISO Ripping Server

Run the Gamecube ISO Ripping Server tool on your PC you configured above. Select the destination folder and

name for the Gamecube game image file to be created then start the utility. You should get a message stating that

it is waiting for a connection.

Step 3: Start Phantasy Star Online game in online mode
Start Phantasy Star Online in online mode. It will connect to the server running on the PC and start

downloading the ripper code from it. When this is complete, a red screen will appear on the Gamecube and shortly

thereafter, you will be prompted to insert the disc you want to rip within 10 seconds. Do this, and once the 10

seconds has passed, your PC will start downloading the image from the disc. When complete, you should have a game

disc image on your PC approximately 1.4GB in size. Approximate download time is about an hour or so.

--------------------

Phase 3: Stream Game Disc Image to Gamecube

Tools Needed: Paradox GC Disc Server
Initialized Memory Card (See Phase 1)
Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Gamecube Broadband Adapter

Step 1: Start Paradox GC Disc Server

Start the Paradox GC Disc server on your PC. Select the correct IP address for the Gamecube and the
Gamecube disc image file you wish to load. Click start then start an online game in Phantasy Star Online. It
should connect to your PC and start executing the game you uploaded.

wow thank you so much that's alot of work . is so hard to find pso2 now . it cost alot of money to backup a game . anyway thanks for your help.

[Helox]

btw, must the pc ip set to 192.168.1.100? cuz i've got a network at home and its set at 192.168.1.* and my own pc is 192.168.1.2.

does it work if i set the gateway and dns to 192.168.1.2 in PSO?

[Pop Smith]

as far as my knowlage goes yes.

[pivot]

i guess it still isn't possible to play backups?? :-?

[Pop Smith]

If you mean game backups, no, it is still not possible as there is yet to be a modchip released for the Cube.

[Butterfly_Rampage]

Hey im wondering is there some kind of software application out there that anyone knows of to create or emulate a phantasy start online server over a tcp/ip based network useing the gamecube version of the game. Network wise i have my own server running its a athlon thunder bird -800 clocked@ aproxx 1.2ghz with 1GB of pc133 and 2 40 gig Hdd 7200 rpm in raid 0 running windows advanced server 2000. I was just wondering if there was a program so that i could host a pso server on my server for network play.

Also if anyof you have Networking questions you can direct them to me if you want i am a certified network technician so i will help as far as my abilities.

ahhh there is a modchip for gamecube it's been out since november, I think. it's called viper 3 it's only 4 wires to solder, plays all fo my backups except for one.

[XmemphistoX]

Hi, I was wondering, how do you backup games and run them using the viper mod chip? I was also told you have to stream it from a pc rather than burn it on media. Is there a tutorial anywhere and where can i get the viper chip from? Thnx!
