Thats what the panasonic gc is, it has a actual dvd player, when panasonic and gamecube decided to work together they didnt anticipate that they had different agendas.  Nintendo wanted a cost effective family system, while panasonic wanted a expensive system that could compete with the xbox and ps2.  So when they couldnt agree nintendo decided to just go their own way, as they did with the psx.  Nintendo released theirs and left it as we see it and panasonic released theirs which has a dvd player in it, in other words regular sized cd and a completely hacked gamecube that has no restrictions as far a regions or format.  AND WALLAH you have your modded gc, unfortunately panasonics gc wont be coming to america because of this, and they are supposedly 400 dollars in asia.

idea, what if we took a mini disc disk and put a gc disc in it. Then some coders could crack it, we could put the data on a mini disc, take it out of the disk, and bam you have a gamecube backup.

Minidiscs hold even less than that! They only hold 140MB in data mode (and around 160MB in audio mode). TrunksGT72 is right - they use ATRAC (MP3-like) compression.

Yes but minidvd's hold 1.3 gigs of data and so do dual layered cdrs.

Heard 'round the web that you can rig up a USB 2.0 connection to the GC Drive so you can rip GODs over the USB connection. Trying to find more reliable info as we speak.
By the by, anyone look into rigging up a HDD to one of those memory card ports? The GC can take memory cards of varying size, so hooking, say, a 1 GB HDD up to both the ports would rule. =-)

I agree that unless you have a panasonic gamecube you are sol. I tried putting my discs into a couple of drives and they wouldn't read at all (the counterclockwise motion would definitely explain this problem).  The panasonic gc costs in the neighborhood of $450-$500 though (unless the price has gone down recently).  I  recently got rid of my us version gamecube and picked up an xbox instead since the games that were unique to the gamecube really didn't appeal to me.

heres the translation from altavista

Question:
quark. would interest me times, as you come to this Logs. One cannot see PRE's with "site new" or sowas. If from a KAL HQ were they come bloede, everyone could see, what them PRE'n. Such a quark



Answer:
"completely simply because someone knows there acc has fxp me so evenly also always the new ps2 and xbox games. thus from possibly www or so and that the type spinnt I do not believe also not thus selected give it games to already only run not on one retail naja times to see which come that was with xbox at the beginning just as also in pre folders and then about 2 weeks later to have her one after the other one publicly released then."

@CoreyR093: laugh.gif This looks like a 'Babelfish'-translation... Ask a real German   >|:]


"Nonsense, I would like to know how you got these logs. One is not able to see prereleases in the 'site new' category or whatever. If these logs would come from a Kalisto Headquarter they would be stupid, everybody could see what they are prereleasing. What a BS.

Since he is the elite-trader/curry of the group!"


Answer:

"Simply because I know someone who has got an account there. He also transfers the newest ps2 and xbox games to me via fxp. He doesn't do that from some kind of www or whatever and I also don't believe the guy is crazy. Well, read-out games do exist, but they won't run on a retail console. Well,  let's see what will happen. It was exactly the same with the Xbox: In the beginning, the stuff was in the pre-folder; about two weaks later they have released one after another publicly."


@fish: Well, let's see. I think it's very possible that this is real. IMO It should not be too hard a job to rip the games since it was also possible with the Xbox, and there are also Mini-DVDs out there (8cm, recordable). If you are German: www.litec-computer.de

Iso's are real but still no way to play them on USA retail unmodded GameCube , the Panasonic Cube can play backups and has been able to do so for a long time . This could be a sign of something coming or it could just be that they are releasing the isos ... who knows .

I assure you that the posts about the Panasonic Cube are not an April fools joke NOW [ as a matter of fact this is where the ISO's are coming from - think about it wink.gif ] .

Game cube iso's would be imposible to play, and dows anyone know why? Well I;'ll tell ya the disk reads backwards, cant beat that copyright protection, also there is a color code in the media, but that can be overidden, and it can play imports with 2 wires soldered with a switch, I have known this for a while, anyhow only game worth getting is animal crossing

This is fake. First of all the only way to see what is in a groups pre dir is if you are part of that group. And I know for a fact that a KAL/ECH member would not "leak" this info like this.
Secondly there is no one called Dylan in KAL/ECH. Nor is there a user called Dylan on any KAL/ECH site. So there is no way that a user called Dylan could have uploaded Socom or Turok for PS2. Finally Volk0r is a coder who makes intros and stuff. HE IS NOT A COURIOR. So he would not be uploading those games cos that is not his job.

Trust me, I know.

Thanks

You can actually mod the Matsushita Q to play backups, in other words, it isn't impossible.

Now they are saying the same about the Gamecube. Again, rubbish. Just power up your GC with a game in, and while it's loading, power off, then pop the lid. You can clearly see it is spinning clockwise - i.e. the same way as every other CD drive.

NOW:

The reason you couldn't read DC GD-ROMs properly was because the data and tracks were packed closer together, making it very difficult (impossible, for the last part of the disc) for a normal drive to focus on the right part of the disc.

However, the PS2, Xbox, and the GameCube all use standard DVD media. PS2 is easy. Xbox, I believe, *could* be read by a standard drive with some clever code. The data is in some unrecognised format, but the drive can access it. Nobody cares to try anymore since it's easy with EvoX.

GameCube discs are small, but they are still standard DVD. I don't know how you'd get the data from a GC since there is no obvious and easy port like with the Xbox's NIC, but I'd bet someone could get a PC drive to read these discs.

So... Are the ISOs real? I bet they are. The original message in this post, however, probably not.

Finally:

QUOTE
can gc read normal sized discs? or just those small ones?  wink.gif


The only reason it can't read normal sized discs is that they don't fit. I bet you could just remove the drive laser assembly, (since it also contains the motor etc wink.gif ) and just mount it on top of the GC, so you can shove whatever sized disc you like on there. All you'd need is a switch so you can make it think the door is open or closed.

I don't know if anyone is still reading this topic. I was able to back up Starfox the other day. I just got a gamecube, so it is not modded. I ordered 5 mini dvd-r's. If anyone wants to try one let me know. Send me a disk, they're about $10 buck in the u.s. I have a friend, that has a modded gc, he'll try it as soon as I can burn it. The image is 1.37GB, mini dvd-r is 1.5GB.

                                    I have heard this rumored that others have been able to back up Louigi's mansion as well...

Zip the file and see if it compresses a huge deal, if so it's just wasted space and filled with dummy data.

If the file once compressed is still rather large, you might be onto something.

If you were able to back it up how what program what settings?
Also where did you get the DVD-R Minis?

Also have you been able to play the backups? I have heard this also but NO-ONE has proven it and that sounds to easy.

What DVD-R burnner can fit the mini's?

I don't think I'm going to be able to do anything with it. Every GC game I checked out comes up stating that it is 1,392.34 Mb (712880), roughly 1.37GB. I just received the mini dvd-r's last night.

                                    cant you just use a normal dvd and take the case off the gamecube? i think it would be worth it if it actually plays, but i havent been reading up on this subject or anything.

you won't be able to read the gc discs with your computer dvd drive.. the solution is using the gc itselft (when broadband adapter comes out) to rip the games (like evox does for xbox)

look... you cannot extract a GC iso using a standard copy utility like CloneCD or whatever... all it will do is make a image compiled of nothing more then junk byte's... thats y every game u do is going to be the same size... there was a huge discusion on how to do this a while back on LikSang... if anyone remembers the postings they'll prob remember me... I was all into GC copying... and basicly you cannot read the disc in a pc due to some bullshit on the disc... maybe if u wrote a program to utilize the LAN port or whatever, you could do like Xbox and DC... but there isn't one as of now...

until some one comes forward with the process and proof of working iso's... don't beleave a word of it... if anyone remembers TeamBM, what a great prank...

basicly this topic is pointless... 4 now atlest...

oh and if your wondering if the GC can read a normal size disc, the answer is yes... just pop off the top of the casing and press down the lid closed button... there was talk of a modified case to allow regular sized DVD's...
