Full Guide to Gamecube Backup/Booting

is this like superfun or what?

 

Does it matter how good the computer is that your running this off, cause i would like to run it off my Win98se w/amd k6 450 mhz processor, with 312 of sd ram, will it run fine?

I also got an awesome computer(amd64 3000+,1024 mb ddr ram and all that good stuff)but dont really want to use it i would rather use a crossover cable to my old computer

hi, guys i just recently stumbled upon this thread.
I thought it was really amazing how people are able to burn/play gamecube games.

I dont know much about ripping and stuff so i have a couple of questions...

1.What is CAT-5 converter cable? Do they come with a gamecube/pc? if no are they easily available to be bought?

2.Can you guys please give a generalization of how well most games run

 

Hi guys after following this thread. I have came to the conclusion that you cannot actually burn images to a disc and pop in the disc and play.

I have good new for all you guys. Please note however that i cannot 100% guarantee this information. I have gotten this info from my brother whos friend is trying this, so i have no direct contact with his friend and cannot actually confirm this.

After having said that, this is what his friend is doing. His friend was able to get his hands on a gamecube burner and actuall gc disks !!!(stolen from nintendo probably). However this burner does not work with windows, but will work on a modified version of mac os X. The burner is able to read the files of a standard game cube disc but not write any files to it. This is not because it cant but because there isnt type on software that is made to burn gc discs. So he hasnt gotten it work as of yet, but he and couple of guys at his college are working on a software capable of doing this.

If this is a sucess (and actually true) it could mean bieng able to play bruned gc discs just like ps2 and xbox. I will keep you guys posted on this.

After having read all that please reread paragraph 2.

 

Im kind of sceptical of this last post because why would Nintendo be burning games at all. They have factories to press them. If it is for testing the technology, then how did his friend of a friend get his hands on something that Nintendo would try to keep hidden. It may just be me, but I dont really believe this post.

 

this might be an alternate solution, if not mentioned already:



MAX Drive Pro is the ultimate solution for the homebrew GameCube programmer.

At last you can transfer data between your GameCube and PC…quickly and easily!

The system consists of 3 components – the MAX Drive Pro cartridge, USB cable and the Loader Disc.

The MAX Drive Pro cartridge is an 8MB (64 Megabit) memory card for GameCube with a built-in high speed USB port. Using the supplied USB cable, files can be easily transferred between the card and any USB-enabled PC.

The Loader Disc boots on any GameCube from any region, and loads files from the MAX Drive Pro cartridge. Files are displayed in a simple file structure and any executable files are pre-loaded and run.

* Massive 8MB/64Mb GameCube memory card with built-in high speed USB port (USB cable supplied)
* Over 1000 blocks of game save data - 16 times the size of a standard GameCube memory card
* Run executable files on a GameCube
* A must have for the homebrew GameCube programmer
* Simply drag and drop PC files onto the MAX Drive Pro cartridge
* Works on any GameCube from any region

I mentioned that a long time ago and everyone ignored me. I would be neat if you could launch an app off of it that just establishes the connection with the pc at the full bandwidth.

 

Can someone please clarify the following things for me. Thanks

Is this thing with the USB-cable only made for hombrew files or can I also play backuped GCN disks?

 

Icemonkey,
could you help me figure out how to use psul v1.1. All it does is run really fast and close. When I try to cmd it, it says it is not an applicable program.
Please help.

 

coolcono:

Please start a new thread for this issue since this one is getting pretty long. Also need more information such as what Windows version you are running and how are your network adapter(s) setup (i.e., how many and what IP addresses are you using).

 

After I have the Gamecube Backup file of my game on my harddrive, can I can burn it on to a mini 1.4GB DVD-R disk that is the same size as the Gamecube game. Even if I can burn it on the disk, will it run on the gamecube? If the original gamecube system dosen't read mini DVD-R format, dose the the Pansonic Version of the Gamecube reads DVD+R or DVD-R formats? Before I make an investment to get the hardward and discs, it is possible at all to run backup gamecube games? I greatly appreaciate all your professional advices.

 

You can burn the ripped GCN-Files on am mini-DVD but the GCN isn't able to boot them. The Panasonic cube is, I think.
Running backup files via BBA is another thing, some people can manage it and get it running, others don't.
I tried it and all the games that worked were awfully choppy and not really playable.

 

Is there a modchip for gamecube available?

 

Yes, there is am modchip available but it is only for playing NTSC Games on a Pal GCN. There's no modchip available for playing copied games.

 

this works with pso 3 ?

all I see out is PSO I&II plus....will that work?

 

Where can I really find a gamecube .dol file or whatever you need to run a game. This is very confusing. And do you or do you not know of a gamecube file that can be downloaded? Do any of these files actually work? All of the links on this site that claim to have a gamecube file, simply do not have any gamecube files! The only thing I could find is a site that had files that were far too small too even have a single level of a game unless you were playing a NES game. Personally I think that they do not exist and you are all making this up because you want someone to use the gamecube emulater. That does not have any game downloads period. I think it is all a big joke! If you have any information to prove me wrong I would like to see it. But right now I think you are all liars!

 

Thanks for the info. But Can you send me a link of a gamecube full download. That is not 88k or 500k. because that simply is far too small to have even a single level of a game. I would think it would have to be at least 50 MB or more.

 

Ok where is this site where I can possibly get the files from?
