Look at my posts in this thread, last few pages of it (32 on?)... you might see what I am doing.
Quickly:
- get a QOOB PRO
- solder it in
- order Ritek G04's mini dvds
- flash QOOB PRO with Qoob Bios 1.3c
- download GC iso's from newsgroups
- burn iso using Nero to mini
- play game
My status:
QOOB enroute.
DVDs enroute.
GC disassembled.
ISOs in hand.
Utilities? ModThatCube: http://modthatcube.pxn-os.com/content/files/index.htm
There... I shared my 8 hours of research with you. Answers to your questions ARE in this thread, and others. You must not be a good reader ;)
DISCLAIMER: I am a newbie. I have 8 hours research into this stuff. I could be full of sh*t. :)

Boboclown you said "all my ISOs I have downloaded are 1.425 gig, no need to gc wipe"this got me thinking that my "streamed" original games did not need to be fixed. I tried backing up again without "Wiped GCM Fixer" and it works.It turns out that Homebrew games that are under 1.425 gig only need to be fixed.Learning on the fly,Thanks!
You could use full size media(cheaper)without the case cover.Dremeling the case would work but the lid would not fit the bigger hole. You would eliminate the front plastic light cover and open/close latch would have to be modified only if you wanted it to stay closed(not necessary).

Powerhouse,
I think I can concur with your findings re: GC Wipe... I had thought I read that you run GC Wipe to "pad" game copies with additional bytes to "boost" them up to the expected standard size of 1.425... and that if your game copy size is already there at 1.425, no need to GC Wipe.
(QOOP Pro should be here this week!)
Modding the case: confirmed... playing full size would require a dremel job that would have less-than-appealing results. I am simply going to buy stacks of Ritek mini's and leave it at that.
My next step once I get this show set up is to learn how to rip games. While I haven't focused on this, my understanding is this, roughly:
1) need broadband adapter, install onto bottom of gamecube.
2) load some kind of ripper application to QOOB
3) boot GC and get it an IP and make it visible to my PC (question: is there a special application I need to run on the PC to gain this visibly to the GC disc drive?)
4) stream game from GC to PC.
5) Not sure what it looks like when it arrives, if it is in pieces, and I have to buyndle it into an .gcs/.iso, or what.
6) once bundled, burn to Ritek mini.
7) mission complete.
My plan is to print some information out on this part of the GC hack tomorrow. If you have pointers or clues, and take pity on newbies who don't do research (I don't, right Lolypop), then let'em rip. Either way, I think I am close and the exercise will be pretty academic.
Later :)

do modchips really burn out gamecubes in a few months? or did you wire it wrong... i am not calling anyone incompitent. by far you guys know more about gamecubes then i. normally i don't like gamecube simplely because they don't put out enough games!, but it is for my personal sadifaction that i could mod it. i might just wait a bit longer untill there is a updated 100% full proof guide that is somewhat simple to follow and maybe some better gamecube ripping programs. gamecube copying is not very big. i am not sure why. there is never much info on it, on the web. and what i do find is so old. and right now i am going back to read page 34.

Lolipop, and other newbies
"modchips kill GCs" comment above was a joke. Sarcasm. Directed towards people who don't help themselves by reading this entire thread before asking questions like "how do I play backups?".

read the rest of the thread the answers to your questions are there. Use a SOFTMOD if you don't want to wreck your hardware

1- I already used this forum in the past to get to run PS2 backups, I was searching for the easiest way. I read on the Ahead games website that they sell pre-modded gamecubes. Do you think, since it would be pre-modded, that I would still need to flash the modchip, etc. or it should be all set to play a backup directly?
2- I'm a little confused with the meaning of flashing, so what do you mean by this as I might need to do it (if it has not already been answered)?
3- Is there no way to rip to an dvd image directly from PC, I hardly concieve the only way is to first run it on gamecube and transfert with the broadband adapter... I suppose if a computer can read the disc, it can rip it as an image?

No one has broken the encrytion of the GC games yet well its that or like the dreamcast it has a specail drive for its meida thus the only way to copy is to plug it into the PC and rip off the GC.
As for useing cheat devices its the mod chip that might intrefer with it.

I'm not sure about the drive. I heard the game is read the opposite way, same as Xbox.

I heard that for the old timer Dreamcast, the reversed ripping/burning was possible using a some ripping/burning utility... couldn't it be the case for Gamecube and Xbox too?

You Noobs should read the thread.
The Max Drive Pro method works and is a way to play backups/stream games from PC without a modchip. The only way to get a backup of a gamecube game is to rip the disc to your PC and then burn it.

I am sure this is a really stupid question, but how do i start up psul? Whenever I double click it, it opens really fast and then closes before i can do anything. When I move a .dol onto it and open it stays open, but I can't enter psul -s.
