actually, it should go into the non-xbox related forum

and actually there are certain dvd drives that can rip g3 discs....

Or if you have the money you could sell your gamecube and buy a premodded Panasonic gamecube which also plays dvd movies for $475 or so.

The Panasonic Q does not play backups. The mod allows it to play US/Jap originals, All-region DVD's and MP3 discs.

I have one and they are sweet looking...

I would "mod" it with a sledgehammer, and then I would go buy an Xbox.

Actually, some inventive group figured out how to rig the GC's drive to a USB 2.0 port, and they're apparently ripping games that way. Now, if only we could get a modchip....

Same. The most likely mod would have to do with adding an exstension to the top (for cds to fit) The gamecube laser comes significantly past the top making the reading of cds placed in an above compartment possible.

I'm sure its possible, cause I doubt they use those mini-GB discs to test alpha/beta builds and such, we just need to figure out what protection Nintendo uses.

If you want to talk about "modding" stuff with sledgehammers, than gc would be the first system to get the ol' solid steel. Nintendo is going about as far with their gamecube, as Sega went with their Dreamcast... har har har anyways peace out.

Cheers,

Why bother modding the drive, why not make an external drive which would plug into one of the ports at the bottom of the cube? I could see this working.

That would probably be the way to do it if the GC drive can't read dvd/dvd-r.

Either connect a dvd-rom or a hard drive. That would probably end up being many, many wires though...but if it could be done I wouldn't complain about it.

Gruce · « **Reply #13 on:** March 09, 2003, 01:20:00 AM »

what would you want from a modded cube? The ability to play back-ups and imports? What?

barracuda · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2003, 01:35:00 PM »

For legal backups, of course!! For imports, just get the Freeloader/AR or a modchip/switchmod.
