first of all yes i have used mod chip's second why would you want to make a backup copy of game and play it when for 20.00 to 50.00 you could purchase the game instead of being a cheap person and ripping off nintendo and also did you bother thinking that if you don't want to mod your gamecube to run illegal software and want your gamecube to play imports you can simple use the 2 wire and one switch mod and mod your gamecube to read anything without spending 90.00 to even 200.00 for a chip and 60 dollers for a programmer

I have to say I knew you would get all pissy about this,but I couldn't help myself.I like to keep backups of my games and I do purchase my games.I don't think I should have to purchase the game over and over again to keep my games.It is actually legal to make backups of your games if you own the original read up on it alright.The 2 wire mod you are talking about is a region mod.It doesn't have anything to deal with the bios it is just a region change.I have been reading up on it and I think you should also before making a post that is nonesense.

Another thing is that who said there would be a programmer for this chip.I think this chip is its own programmer using a link system from the GC to the PC.All I have to say is get yourself together man and come back to reality.

This guy has just proved he knows nothing! It is perfectly legal to create a backup of a game you already own... and some people including myself would also like to run linux and certain other homebrew apps as they are also pefectly legal.. as long as you dont use them to perform illegal tasks. Do your research before you barge into a forum trying to make a name for yourself. And just to dig yourself even deeper into your dirty little hole, you say:

today at school i was thinking a lot of how a chip can be developed.and I was thinking.
is it possible that in order to take nintendo totally out the market.
People form Microsoft or/and Sony paid Old school programmers to develop the chip. Think about it and you will see its not completly nonsense i mean this will practically kill nintendo if the chip starts being produced in big scales.
remember this can be just mere imagination and an interesting thought What ya think?
And also WTF with that ugly ass face that Nephleheim or whatever put when he banned Sosdelas jajajjajaja

Huh????A modchip doesn't kill a system it makes it better think about it.If you look at Sony and Microsoft they are doing alot better than Nintendo and why do you think they are doing better.It is the fact that they made systems for everyone not just for one group of people from my understanding which would be for kids.The systems have dvd compatibility which means you can watch Dvd movies on both of those systems which the GameCube fails to do unless you buy the close to 500 dollar Panasonic Q(which is not affordable by most people including me).The modchips enhance systems and make them better by sales has been proven(take a look at the DMS4 team that has been threaten for there amount of sales).The modchip is not killing Nintendo it is actually Nintendo killing themselves by trying to sue everyone that tries to make it better.If Sony or Microsoft are behind this chip then I am giving them my money for this chip with satisfaction,because this chip is the answer I am thinking to atleast getting a backup to read from the drive and not having to worry about what loader will work with what game or why this game is choppy and all crazy sounding.It is not bad what you said,but I don't see how a mod can make a system worse.

I don't know it seems like Nintendo is making themselves unknown rather than everybody else making products for it I think.I have nothing against Nintendo remember that,but I don't see how blaming a different company that is not endorsed by Nintendo is going to make the system boom with sales.The chip isn't out still,and if it was the sales for the system would increase big time.I still feel it is Nintendo fault for it being a dead console for right now.

Actually nintendo has made it illegal to back up games if you don't believe me open an instruction booklet to the last page and at the top it will say:
"Important Legal Information
Copying of any video game for any Nintendo system is illegal and is strictly prohibited by domestic and international intellectual property laws."Back-up" or "archival" copies are not authorized nad are not necessary to protect you software. Violators will be prosecuted." -Nintendo back page of instuction booklet
There is more to about how it does not interfere with statutory rights.

Actually ProStyl3 it is not illegal forgot where I read it,but it is talking about being able to backup your games which is legal.It is illegal to burn games and distribute copies of the game which can't be done anyways.It is legal to actually though although I don't have the proof on me at the moment I could find it and show you it.I think the back of the book of the GameCube games are just giving warning to people that want to pirate games.If it is illegal to backup your games for Nintendo then how come it is legal to have flashcards an so forth for GBA handheld systems and alot more systems.I am talking about roms which is what the GC discs are right.I think if that is true about the Nintendo then they would sue every distributor that sells products that are not approved by Nintendo.I haven't heard any mention of them about to sue this company that is making this chip also.Another thing is that the streaming technique would then be illegal if this is true,since that would be considered backing up your games.I just need to go find the site that points out what is legal and what is not for Nintendo.

No one here has spoken about any of the great home brew software projects which have been fantastic for other platforms. The biggest one which springs to mind is the xbox media centre, this thing is truly fantastic you can play any video file straight off your pc and it even uses python scripting to be able to pull down all the links to the trailers on apple.com and play them. Then you've got other great projects like MameOX which allow you to play old abandonware arcade games through your console.
Let's keep the conversation about positive aspects of the homebrew software market instead of going into the grey area of playing backups. Because lets face it, we all know that if it can run homebrew software it can sure as heck run an unsigned version of a game which was written for the cube.

I myself think linux is one of the things im most interested in... if the chip cannot be made to play backups at then we stand a good chance of being able to patch the bba's firmware allowing 100/1000mbps transfers...has anyone here played the unsigned doom on their cubes yet, its absolutely ace, i want to see more games like this

check this out..
http://www.ps2ownz.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27111&page=3
from what they are telling us in this forum, the chip will be out at the 9th and with the use of a third party bios, we can play BURNED mini-DVDs! i really can't believe it until i hear something official but the peson making these comments seems to be a reseller of modchips so it seems more or less reliable. they also state that an easier way fom copying gamecube games to the hard disk will be revealed other than the usual way! oh i really can't wait to hear more!!

for people that don't want to register here is the q&a to the administrator
Quote:
jurassicplanet
1. Will the Viper GC allow one to extract data from retail gamecube discs in the gamecube cd drive? For dumping gcms and such onto a PC hard-drive.
2. Will the Viper GC allow one to play copied retail gamecube discs from burned mini DVD-R or DVD+R discs? Is there any brand of mini DVD blank media discs in particular which is recommended for use in the gamecube or should any brand work? Is there a special technique or method which needs to be used in taking a downloaded gcm file and burning it to a mini DVD disc? I've already been burning gcms files to mini DVD discs by simply renaming the file extension from gcm to iso, then mounting the iso to a virtual cd disc drive using Daemon Tools, then using Nero to perform a simple Copy Disc command to copy the data from the virtual drive to the actual mini DVD disc.
3. As I understand it, a special gamecube bios will be released with this mod chip yes? Will it essentially be a hacked version of the original gamecube bios with the same graphics and interface and such with no major visible differences between the original and the hacked version?
4. Will there be gamecube consoles available for sale which already have the mod chip installed, tested, and working? Will pre-modded consoles be available in all the retail gamecube console colors; i.e. indigo, platinum, and black? Will the pre-modded consoles have both digital and analog audio/video OR just analog audio/video?
Administrator
1. There is an easier way than this that will be shared in the future right here perhaps...
2. It will, but only with a 3rd party BiOS as I stated earlier in this thread.
3. That is correct, however, like most modern mod devices it won't come with the "special" BiOS for LEGAL reasons... end-users will grab it on the net like the TOXiC releases and similar stuff.
4. It's too early to say at the moment, but I'd say most likely the answer is YES.

Yeah always thought that when the idea was brought out.It can be modified to play backup games with a hacked bios.The original bios is not capable of doing it,but they have it on the chip for legal reasons.The administor off the site ps2ownz didn't really say anything though.It is kinda like asking questions to someone that knows about this chip as much as we all do.
