Full Guide to Gamecube Backup/Booting

Finally a question where the poster read the thread first!
I think your problem is due two a combination of media and laser potential.
Look on the net for the guide to laser potential tweaking, decrease it in increments of say, 20 until you get a result. If this dosen't work for you then it is due to media. You do have a mod chip/softmod right? (if not then you must get one)

 

sorry reread post and it is obvious you have a mod

 

Im still stuck in Step 1, Finding the right chip.

Im deciding between the Qoob Pro and the Viper GC Extreme.

The Qoob seems to be the popular one, but you will need a BBA (broadband adapter) to connect to pc in order to make backups of games. The USB port on the Qoob is only used to flash the BIOS.

However the Viper GC Extreme everything is done using the USB port, elimiating the need for the BBA.

Sounds like the Viper GC Extreme is less complicated, but how come noone has it?

 

I have a ViperGC, it works great.

Can someone help me out though?

Kay, I've got the ViperGC, I've got some games (burned, friends) How do I create a copy of these already burned games?

 

Ok...........decided to go for the MAX DRIVE PRO softmod method. I know it's a pain in the arse switching disks all the time, but didn't have to take my gamecube apart........and probably break it.

So been burning games nicely 18 and counting all working fine.

This question is in regards to a game.

I've burned "StarFox Assault" run the game, but it doesn't get past the screen where it says loading. Has anyone else burnt this game? If yes did it work fine?

All my other backup games work fine, this is the first to fail. Want too see if it's shit disk, or the game just doesn't run as a backup.

Cheers

 

Yeah, thats game works fine. I backed it up a few months ago, and my kids still play it.

 

games crash on my PC

 

I have the newest PC on the market and I think when niphin comes out it is gonna be good because dolphin sucks with internet isos

 

Datasafe mini-dvd-r x4 1.4gb

I bought so far 6 packs each of a spindle of 10.

When putting these through nero to burn games 3 entire spindles (not just the odd disk) reads as not 1.4gb but 1.392gb???? This makes it impossible to burn a gamecube .iso on. Has anyone else come across this problem with Datasafe mini-dvd-r's ar are they just shit!!!

If they are the latter can anyone suggest some Mini-DVD's that work well 90% of the time (better ratio than 50%)?
Can you also give me a link of a site that sells these within the UK?

P.S. if someone wants to buy 30 Datasafe Mini-DVD's your lucks in I have some

 

I would want to stream a iso from pc to gc,with the PSO method.
With the GC Disc Server i can upload the loader.dol file ,the GC starts executing it,and i see a black screen with a gray message wich says "INITIALISING..."
From now on,the iso file should start uploading from pc to gc,but it doesn't
In fact,i see the HD led always off,which means that the hd is not being read.

I don't think the problem is the packet frequency and delay,because they are set to delay=20 and frequency=16 (and cache=4)
In the worst case there will be some packet loss in the gamecube side,but at least the file would be streamed from pc.

Could someone tell me what i've done wrong?

 

Is it possible to rip gamecube images with a backup copy of phatasy star? (on a chipped machine, obviously)

 

Read the first post duh

 

i have a gc viper chip extreme and i already have the bios but when i click on write on the loader an error note apears and says usb cable not detected please help

This Should Simplify Most Backup Questions People Have In Regards To Their Modified Gamecubes.
See Ya.

 

thx...and what kind of mini dvd is required?

 

I Have Used Many Types Of Brands Of mini DVD-R, Funnily Enough, The Brands That Appeared The Worst Actually Performed Better, By That I Mean They Were Either Poorly Packaged And/Or Had A Generic Brand Name.
You Know That You Are On The Right Path If You Are Paying Around 80 Cents U.S Per Disc!
At The Moment I Am Using 'Data Bank' Discs.
I Hope This Helps Somehow.
BTW, I Have Over 200 Working Games, Including The SNES And NES Emulators,
Both With All Of The Games Ever Made Respectively For Each Console.
Amazing To Think That They All Fit Perfectly On One mini DVD-R!
See Ya.

what speed is best for running a backup disk 1x or 2x

 

I always burn mine at 2x and had no problems, you can do it at 1x if stuff goes wrong.
