but before you burn the game and insert it in the system, you need a mod chip, the popular ones are the qoob pro and the viper GC, I personnaly have a viper gc, easy install, easy use, and I never had to touch the pot on my system, i guess i'm one of the lucky ones
tank, and im ging with qoob pro. And one more thing, how exactly do you play n64 game on your dreamcast, do you have to put your emulator on a disk or what.
Newbie to GC modding. Have Executer-3 in XBOX running just fine forever.
Goal: To grab ISO's posted to newsgroups, and play them just like I have done with XBOX.
I am not interested in ripping games, or playing GC games on my PC, etc. I plan opn obtaining ISOs,
burning them, and playing them on a modded GC.
I am still reading this thread (and other sites), but would like to state what I believe
are some correct statements, and see if you folks can tell me I am right or wrong.
1) ModChip is best technique. I will obtain QOOB PRO and install it.
Or should I get a Viper GC? QOOB PRO seems to be favorite.
1A) modchipworld.com seems to be the best place in U.S. to get this chip. They are currently out for a week (they say). Is there a better place?
2) Buring ISOs using Nero works just fine. If you choose to burn to Ritek G04 mini's,
that is your best chance for success. If you go full-size DVD-R, you have to mod your case, or
buy a case replacement (or run topless).
3) QOOB Pro installations are slightly different between GC revs. You will know what rev you have once
you get to the motherboard. Once there, choose "Diagram-A" or "Diagram-B" for soldering install.
4) "Direct Booting" is the term given to bypass this "boot from PSO first, then insert desired game" style of
playing... right? With direct booting, you put your copied DVD-R in, and turn on the GC... just like a real
game. Is this correct? (Forgive my lame description of PSO technique, I have not studied it
yet, as it seems to be or is becoming obsolete. That could be a false statement).
5) Before or after install of QOOB PRO, flash with QOOB Flasher 1.1 utility to install QOOB PRo bios V1.3 (or
suggestions? QOOB PRO V1.3b3? b4?).
6) Question: What is the QOOB lid switch mod for? I think there is one. Not sure.
From there, once BIOS is loaded, you can start the GC and select 'B' to go into the menus.
7) What is this "Action Replay" disc , as it pertains to "providing the cheat engine"?
8) Came across mention of "LooneyCubes utility" for makeing multi-game DVDs (more than one game installed on DVD.
But link to it was dead. Anyone have a link handy? or does another version this type of utility
for making multi-game DVDs exist elsewhere? (that works, right, with the QOOB PRO bios) ?
Summary: In order to reach my goal above, I simply need to get and install a QOOB PRO chip,
flash it, get some Ritek g04 minis, burn some ISOs pulled from the Net, and run them. Its that
simple (?)
