You will require...
A Gamecube (mine is PAL)
Max Drive Pro (Must be Pro)
Sony 8cm Mini-DVD (Handicam DVDs)
GCOS 1.4 Bios (Google for it)
A Gamecube Game RIP (Change to .ISO and burn in Nero
The max drive pro is just a way to boot code. You boot the gCoS bios, which is able to play backups, imports and streams from PC
A good link is http://www.maxconsole.net

PS if you don't want to burn the backups then you can stream them from your pc with GCoS real loading server

Hi.
I'm pretty new to Gamecube-modding, but do have a modded Xbox and had someone install a Viper GC in my Gamecube. I also got me a case-replacement so i can use full DVDs.
I have been using some backup-up discs, and the first discs went well, but than my DVD-supplier stopped supplying the discs that worked for me, so i tried a couple of other brands. All of these give me load-errors at some point.
I'm pretty sure the DVD-burns are ok (used Nero). I found some info on tweaking the laser and did so (from a value of 320 to about 200 i believe), but still get errors. Original game-discs load without problems. Anybody have ideas/URLs of what i can try more please ?!
Thank you!

Try using Memorex DVD-R. I have used both the 4x and 8x discs without a problem.
I just got my full size DVD case yesterday. Been playing with the top off for almost a year now. LOL

Guys, the best solution EVER, is spend a little more money buying Mini DvD Ritek. There is no need to change Pot value then, neither use full Size case! But, for those u think another way, use TDK, works **** ....Ritek works **********!

My first post...
Ju got hold of an NGC with a viper 2.1 Cobra bios.
Just for clarification. Can you make backups of your GC original games using just your PC? It seems as an tedious task to streem data from GC via network adaptor...

I just read 15+ pages and just want to clarify
GC + PSO and BBA to PC
burn from PC to mini dvdr or regular dvdr
to play backup disc
mod GC (w/ bios)
load w/ loader game
then add backed-up game
if I create the ISO on the PC, I use the MaxDrive Pro to save the names of the ISO to the memory card and use it to play the games.
is this right?!
again 15+ pages...it all got a bit confusing.

fredriksk.
No only a gamecube can read a gamecube disc. A PC with a DVD drive cannot, sorry. bb23, I think you are confused, the PSO method is different/separate to the maxdrive method.

I thought I read that you use the max drive to stream the iso from your computer to your gc
but I'd rather back up to dvds
so am I right do the PSO thing, GC to PC then PC to DVD?

what i do is i read. i read until i find wha i need. i have no other friends that backup their games. only i do it. and i read to find out how. all the answers are already out there. i "backup" all "my" games. all of them work 100%. no flaws. ever. maybe when i'm no drunk i will write an up to date backup guide. who wants me to?

Episode 1 & 2 is just one game (actually 2 ported from dreamcast onto 1 gamecube disk) and only the original Episode 1 & 2 (any region) will work. Episode 1 & 2 plus and Episode III will not work period unless you have the Jap versions.
The easiest softmod to do right now is to get a gecko sd card adapter from loudias at the gcdev.com forums and an action replay disk. Broadband adapter is optional.

Alright guys, let me try to put this as plainly as possible.
I've got a modded XBOX (I had somebody install a modchip and a harddrive), and I want to play Naruto GNT 4 on my GC.
Thing is, I don't want to mod anything, and I'm interested in the idea of streaming isos to the GC.
Could somebody break down the basics of all of this, give me links to any software they can that I need (and name the other software I need that they can't send to me or give me a link for), and give me an estimated price?
I'm thankful for any and all help you can all provide, and I apologize in advance for my inadequacies on this subject.

Hmm... alright, I'm pretty sure that I'll be buying a Max Drive, but I need to know what GameCube BIOS I should use... any websites I should visit for recommendations?
Thanks.

GCos 1.4b with remote loading server software. No other GCoS is able to stream as far as I know.

I just got my cube modded with a ripper modchip. I see that its bios is just a modified versiuon of the cobra v.04, and mine can directly boot burned media without swapping. Shouldn't this bios have the idle bug fixed? I was playing a burned copy of Resident Evil 0 and after reading a document and exiting the menu, the game would freeze (dvd stops spinning), and I would have to open/close the dvd lid to get the dvd spinning again.
EDIT:
Sorry, wrong thread...

Who is willing to trade ISO with me, I have about 30 cut games and about that many backups. Looking for soul calibur 2.
Ordered a Qoob and crystal case for Xmas will also install new laser for cubey. Soon it will be unstoppable!
