Full Guide to Gamecube Backup/Booting

hi i have a question, when i change my ip settings and subnet mask, everything is fine, i checked alot. but when i load psul i get this ip instead, 192.168.0.1

whats up?

 

Where are you changing your IP settings?

 

you know what, i fix the problem, i had the crossover through my internet and the other through the gamecube, but thanks icemonkey for the reply though.

 

I was wondering if anyone can help me
My pc is a p4 2.8, 2gig of mem, win xp, switch 10/100mbps - which i connect my gamcube to.

Software:
Cubesoft Phoenix 2.3
gamecubeserver 1.0.0.29

When i backup a game in cubesoft, it goes all the way to 100% & i get packet loss & wont finsh. If i stop it the image deletes, but if i copy it to another directory while i am getting packet loss at 100% - the image will copy & when i load it my tv only goes black.

Gamecubeserver: I get to the part where its streaming & wont go any further, the disc wont read the sectors, but nothing wrong with the disc - through gamesoft its ok. Last night by fluke i got it going through gamecubeserver - but the time was so long, i stopped it because i had to sleep. When i try it again on the red screen i cant get it past the word streaming. Wont scan disc sectors

Can anyone help me or in great detail tell me the steps in backup a gc game.

Your support will be great

 

Please help if possible...

I am new to all this and have read through all guides but cannot find answer to my problem so I am putting this message in the hope that some kind soul can guide me into the light!!!

I am using windows XP and have the following....

GC
BB Adapter
Ethernet cable & also crossover cable.
3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI TX NIC (3C905B-TX)
PSO 1&2
Phoenix v2.3

I have followed all instructions and set IP addresses and everyhting as shown on the guides... but data will not transfer between the GC & PC.
Its probably something I have overlooked but as I said, I am new to this.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanx...

Hey,
im new to these forums. I got everything to work, connecting to the DNS and ripping the game with the GamecubeServer1.0.0.29. It rips nicely, takes about an hour, and I get around a 1.4gig game rip. Except, when I try to stream the game to execute it, it doesnt work, and it transfers a little, then stops transferring. I have tried this with the Paradox Server 1.3, 1.4 and Cubesoft Phoenix 2.3. None of them work. They all freeze right in the middle where it says "Loading..." and no network activity happens. Does this mean there is a bad rip, or can I do something to the .gcm file to make it work? Is it just my network? It effortlessly connects to my computer, it just doesnt come through and execute the game.
Any Suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. I have about 7 days left to return the Broadband adapter, as I have no use for it afterwards if this doesnt work.
THANKS!!

I just figured it out - im backuping up my second one right now.
Phoenix - will do it but give you 100% packet loss at 100% of copying the image. I started using gamecubeserver 1.0.0.29 & it works. Plz read my above post for the problem. I connected a laptop up with the same settings as icemonkey gave on the of the very first post. The location of save will be like this example.gcm - but dont save into another director. As well i put my network card as half duplex, i am keen to try it on my pc but at the moment cant because i am currently doing my second image. Its the best way i found gamecubeserver - also have tested my image - no probs, works fine.
If anyone can tell me why i get packet loss at 100% through phoenix would love to know.
I found phoenix will copy faster than gamecubeserver also.

 

2nd image copied through gamecube server but when loaded came up black screen. When i run it through my own pc - gamecube server cant get it past streaming.
What am i doing wrong or is there are easier way to do this - so i know it will work every time. If anyone has tips or hints in this your help would be very good.

 

Thanks for the information offered to try to help out with the problem I have at the moment... The thing is though I am unable to connect to the DNS even using the settings provided in all the guides....
Once again I have the following things...
I am using windows XP and have the following....

GC
BB Adapter
Ethernet cable & also crossover cable.
3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI TX NIC (3C905B-TX)
PSO 1&2
Phoenix v2.3

Just can't figure out why gc isn't connecting to DNS on pc

Thanx for reading... hope someone can help!!!

 

When you start the loader on the PC, do you get any kind of error when the DNS service starts such as cannot bind DNS to ip x.x.x.x? What IP addresses and subnet masks do you have configured on your Gamecube and your PC?

 

Ice monkey can you please help me
when i use gamecube server it copies but only get black screen & when i use phoenix i get packet loss at 100%. Out of 12 tires i have only done 1 backup.

Please help me with how to backup images plz dude

 

When you say it copies, do you mean it says that it was successful in creating a backup? And if so, are you getting the problems when you attempt to stream it back?

 

Hey, and also, start a new thread for this issue. Getting harder to read through this one.

 

Sry, didnt start a new thread >.< .I've tried using the program PSUL v1.1 but when i start it up, it very quickly brings up an msdos prompt screen, then it closes before i can even try to read what it says. Also, i would like to back up my PSO save games, can i do that via this? I use windows xp.

 

I haven't heard of anybody being able to download from a Gamecube memory card to the PC yet. Check your PM for the other issue.

 

I'm fairly new to all this as well and no matter what game/loader I try I have the same issue

useing NTSC gamecube + bb
Phantasy Start 1&2
Pheonix 2.3

I've tried all the ACL loaders and serving from both Pheonix and Standard.. when serving from standard I get the following with just a black screen (after pressing start on my controller)

Initialising...OK
WaitingC.........X.X.X.X.X.X.X
I've let it sit there for upwards of an hour or so w/ no change.

I can launch the disk browser from in pheonix and the iso ripping server seems to work just fine as well

Anyone have any ideas?

 

i, xenon131 have the same problem as d3s7. If anyone knows the solution to his problem contact me as well. If there is a solution to that, that would be great. I have tried the games Billy Hatcher, Super Monkey ball, Starfox Adventures and Vexx.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi..

No I didn't get any error messages, I am using the following configuration......

PC IP address: 192.168.1.100
Default Gateway: 255.255.255.0

GamecubeIP address: 192.168.1.32
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.100
Primary DNS: 192.168.1.100

Those are the setting I have tried.

thanx

 

Icemonkey thanks for replying
yes through gamecube server it completes the image 100% but have trouble streaming it back - the loader will show the image i backed up but once i try load it all i get is a black screen.

Through phoenix the image gets to 100% & when it tires to close the image i get packet loss.

I have only successful done 1 image out of i dont know how many tires.

What am i doing wrong - can you please tell me how you backup your image & what is your ratio of failing as well. The reason i ask you because i have read many threads and no one really mentions backuping & your nearly on all threads - so you have good experience. Your help would be great

 

Hi! Sorry to bother, I backed up my games and I'm actually playing them through my PC with my GC and I use "GC Disc Server v1.3.0 beta - ParadoX". Games go too slow. Is it there a way to uncap the bandwidth? maybe if I use another streamer? Which one would you recommend and where to get it? THANKS SO MUCH!
