Ok.......I've read through a lot of the posts, but got confused cause they go back a fair way.

So I'll just ask the question, and you guys can flame me if you like.

1. Got a Gamecube
2. Got a Gamecube backup file (Soul Calibur 2)
3. Got miniDVD-R's

question:

If i burn this onto a miniDVD-R will it run on my gamecube?

If not is there a boot-disk that will allow them to run?

I have no intention of taking my Gamecube apart so unless there is an easy method of playing them I won't bother wasting my time.

Cheers for any help

Well, u just need to use Nero and burn Soul Calibur.iso to a mini dvd. BUT it only runs in Gamecube if u have chip...like i have...for example, Qoob Pro, Qoob SX, Viper...and so on.. all other methods "they" talk about like boot disk...i dont believe and sincerely, even if u can run a backup using a a boot disk, its very fuking boring use it with lots of games..lol.
That boot discs are for load NTSC games or PAL games...they dont read BACKUP games..

Okay, you have to forgive me for being a little lazy... I have looked through a few pages, but knowing my luck I've missed the one I need... :-P

I was wondering if, using the PSO exploit, it was possible to play import games? For example play NTSC games on my PAL 'cube? I have a Freeloader, but that won't help. My only idea was ripping the Freeloader, and then streaming that from the PC, and then streaming the game I want... But writing it down now I see the flaw... :-( Are there any convertion patches availible, or tools to help?

Thanks!

Yea, there's a homebrew programs called GCOS, Ninjabios and efal. they allow that. but u need to burn games. not stream.

The future is not set. Theres no fate but that which we make for ourselves.

Shame I can't stream, but thanks for your help! I really appreciate it :-) I'm sure I can take the time to have a go at burning.

I bought the game RE 4 here (yes, they sell pirated games here in the philippines, which is both cool and sad) and there's one problem I have with it concerning the 1st disc. No matter what I do when I first boot up my gamecube with it, the game would either not load, or the GC would have a hard time reading the disc. It would only work properly if I used the gamecube with another game for a couple of minutes beforehand (I gotta warm it up first). Is this a problem with the disc because all my other games/backups work fine? I also find it amazing how pretty much all the games I bought work on my 2nd hand GC though they were only burned on generic media. I've burned a lot already on different brands, and could never get a single game to work properly, lol.

Finally a question where the poster read the thread first!
I think your problem is due two a combination of media and laser potential.
Look on the net for the guide to laser potential tweaking, decrease it in increments of say, 20 until you get a result. If this dosen't work for you then it is due to media. You do have a mod chip/softmod right? (if not then you must get one)

Im still stuck in Step 1, Finding the right chip.

Im deciding between the Qoob Pro and the Viper GC Extreme.

The Qoob seems to be the popular one, but you will need a BBA (broadband adapter) to connect to pc in order to make backups of games. The USB port on the Qoob is only used to flash the BIOS.

However the Viper GC Extreme everything is done using the USB port, elimiating the need for the BBA.

Sounds like the Viper GC Extreme is less complicated, but how come noone has it?

I have a ViperGC, it works great.

Can someone help me out though?

Kay, I've got the ViperGC, I've got some games (burned, friends) How do I create a copy of these already burned games?

Ok...........decided to go for the MAX DRIVE PRO softmod method. I know it's a pain in the arse switching disks all the time, but didn't have to take my gamecube apart........and probably break it.

So been burning games nicely 18 and counting all working fine.

This question is in regards to a game.

I've burned "StarFox Assault" run the game, but it doesn't get past the screen where it says loading. Has anyone else burnt this game? If yes did it work fine?

All my other backup games work fine, this is the first to fail. Want too see if it's shit disk, or the game just doesn't run as a backup.

Cheers

Datasafe mini-dvd-r x4 1.4gb

I bought so far 6 packs each of a spindle of 10.

When putting these through nero to burn games 3 entire spindles (not just the odd disk) reads as not 1.4gb but 1.392gb???? This makes it impossible to burn a gamecube .iso on. Has anyone else come across this problem with Datasafe mini-dvd-r's ar are they just shit!!!

If they are the latter can anyone suggest some Mini-DVD's that work well 90% of the time (better ratio than 50%)?
Can you also give me a link of a site that sells these within the UK?

P.S. if someone wants to buy 30 Datasafe Mini-DVD's your lucks in I have some :)

I would want to stream a iso from pc to gc,with the PSO method.
With the GC Disc Server i can upload the loader.dol file ,the GC starts executing it,and i see a black screen with a gray message wich says "INITIALISING..."
From now on,the iso file should start uploading from pc to gc,but it doesn't :(
In fact,i see the HD led always off,which means that the hd is not being read.

I don't think the problem is the packet frequency and delay,because they are set to delay=20 and frequency=16 (and cache=4)
In the worst case there will be some packet loss in the gamecube side,but at least the file would be streamed from pc.

Could someone tell me what i've done wrong?
