Full Guide to Gamecube Backup/Booting

Can someone recommend the best brand of DVD-R to use when burning Gamecube games, I've treid a couple with hit and miss successes.

I'm from the UK so if you can supply me with an online retailer for the discs, that would be great

Cheers

 

Ritek brand or pressed
They press brands Maxell and I think Fuji as well

 

I know this thread is old but hopefully someone can help me.

I've got everything set up, I've got phoenix and a few other disc server programs and cant get any of them to work. I load up fine to the loading screen, I take out my memory card(even if I dont) The server on the computer loads up and says

Server started

.........X.X..X.X.X.XX.X

and thats it, it freezes. Figured it was worth a shot posting here

 

I havean emulator (Dolphin Emu) and Gamecube CD's. I don't have a broadband adapter. I have only DVD-/+RW drive. I don't want to burn them, just play by on emulator. How I can do that?

 

You cant read originals in you PC drive. Get a Gamecube or try to find images of games.

 

1.get a GC get the program and cable that connects it to the PC
2.get a GC and all that to make images
3.find the images and load them into the emulator.

you not going to do much without the C to PC gear mght as well got all the way if you are going to do it..

Just a quick question. To do this do i have to pay the monthly fee for phantasy star even if i am not gonna play it?

 

No....only the Xbox version of PSO will not let you play it without haveing a live account,the GC version is free for single playing you dont even have to register.

As cheap as sega is I am surised the game still works online 0_o

 

Thanks a lot. I am gonna try a guide on mod that cube with the PSO and BBA considering i cant find a Max Drive Anywhere

 

The answer to your question is "NO"....

 

I have heard something about an access code needed for online. Do i need that to do this? What is it used for?

 

timbo15
PSO is a MMO with diablo style Sci-fi gameplay,the Xbox version requires a LIVE account to play with it,the GC version offline/SP mode is free and dose not requires a key to play off line(I am 80% sure of this).
So you should not have to worry about a key.

PSO was 8-9$ a month.

 

hey i was wondering if any1 has since found a rom for pokemon colloseum or pokemon XD gale of darkness

 

I bought PSO 1+2 Plus, I follow the directions exactly,
and everytime I run PSUL 1.1 in -s mode, I get a brief message saying "Served DNS Query" and my PSO game gets error screen 101 "cannot connect"

Also, my connection disconnects for a second while it's trying to copy the file to my memory card.

I've got 2 NICS, and I've tried taking one out, and only using the other. I've tried running it on a different computer also, and the same problem occurs... Help please -_-

 

Is there a way to make your PC able to read Gamecube discs?

 

ArianB: Answer Yes and No there is a gamecube EMU called Dolphin, at least I think thats what the name was... in order for the emu program dolphin to work you would create a backup of your game.... Then play it on your PC... You still need to use the PSO hack to dump a game into a backup format. Then on the computer you would just use the point the dolphin program to your legal backup.

Ryzure: Sounds like you have a network issue. Try a single switch.

 

barthoogi: look on ebay or go to game stop, buy the disk, its not that much...

 

so if i buy the game and insert it into my comp. -i dont have GC-
all i have to do is open it with dolphin ????? rite.... ???

 

That's what I wanted to know, if I could just put a Gamecube disk in my computer and Dolphin can read it. I already have Dolphin by the way.
