I have decided that it would be best to announce what GCDemos has been working on for the past weeks. We have been fairly tight lipped about our project now known as GCD. I felt it was time to let you all know what GCD is When the Gamecube came out I remember being very interested in it. I was then known as Deadpetremover on the PS2Ownz forums. Since then I have learnt as much as possible from the members of the Gamecube community as I could. When I got my cube I have had the urge to hack it. A few months ago now I started up GCDemos with Gazlon with the aim of making our own tools and demos for the Gamecube when it seemed like all that would be possible was dev. However, since then I have gained many contacts and friends throughout the Gamecube and PS2 scenes. I put together a team of great coders and people with knowledge of the Gamecube and got help from many. I have brought together all this knowledge and with some of the coders from the site here began work on GCD. GCD is a set of two programs for Gamecube to be run over PSUL or PSOLoad. The first runs and allows the user to put a disc into their Gamecube and extract and ISO image to their PC. The second which is still in early development stages will run and allow these ISOs to be played. I know that this defies the point of the site and will make me unpopular in the Dev scene but I felt that it was the next logical step. I have decided to release this info coinciding with the release of information regarding a Gamecube chip developed by a good friend of mine. I must admit these are still rumors, but Im confident that they will prove to be true! It is said to be an 11-wire Modchip, however, it will need an external add-on to run DVD-R. Our software will function as a No-Mod way of doing this without the add-ons. However, I still fully support the chip developers. I will be receiving a sample soon and will publish a review on here! On a side note friends from PS2Ownz again have put together a forum for us so you can all discuss GCD and other Gamecube scene developments. We will of course still function as a dev site with many new programs being added to our release schedule daily. If you would like to submit a demo to us please feel free to post it on the forums or email it to me at [email protected] ! Or if you would like to help on GCD please feel free to drop by #gcdemos on EFnet... I hope to speak to you all soon with some screens and maybe some updates of progress, The One Thanks goes to PS2Ownz Team, Gamecube Hacker Team, our own coders here at GCDemos and individuals in the Gamecube scene that have the same ideals as me! |

| Gawd. What good will backups do? Just keep good care of your discs. Anyway, the only good thing that will come from this modchip is more interest in GC dev. Oh well, I guess piracy will never cease. |
| QUOTE (Troed @ Sep 27 2003, 08:55 AM) |
| Well, the GC still isn't hacked. A bug in PSO (similar to the bug in Windows that caused the Blaster worm you could say) allows execution of 3rd party code - but you still have to have both PSO and the ethernet adapter and it has nothing to do with any protection in the cube. Next we have the rumours of modchips - and do notice they say you'll need external hardware to read discs. This might well be more than just reading full size dvdr - it could be that the modchips won't make the internal disc-reader allow burned discs at all. That would be a huge victory for Nintendo since anyone wanting to pirate games would need expensiva external hardware like the Magicom for SNES or Doctor-64 for Nintendo 64. No widespread piracy (as on the Xbox) means game developers will still be happy and Nintendo will still be happy - and their protections have succeeded. |

| Nintendo has also been making money on the GC hardware the whole time - which means they're making MORE money than MS by a huge margin. |
| QUOTE (sharkeater @ Sep 27 2003, 04:22 PM) |
| Ms's plan is to make money through software and lure them in with the cheapness of the console, and it worked, they have made more money than nintendo have. this is also backed up with reliable sources |

Feel free to name a single one. MS is losing so much money on the sponsoring of the Xbox price that the attach ratio would need to be 14:1 to make money. It's just aboe 5:1 if memory serves me correctly. Nintendo on the other hand don't even need it to be 2:1. Case closed. |

| Nintendo is not making money, and according to this article there about 27 million dollars in the red: http://www.gamespot....ws_6076336.html On another note the GCD is just a thought right now. Maybe it will be "real" one day but they have nothing but an idea right now. |

Everything I write is based on publically available facts - unlike everyone else who's posted a lot of rubbish here (including yourself). |
| QUOTE (Vegeta @ Oct 5 2003, 06:00 PM) |
| What I posted was public knowledge also. You post from Nintendo sites who of course are gonna spin doctor there bad times. Check IGN also they too are reporting on Nintendo loosing money and loosing ALOT. You talk about it doesnt matter how much they loose, it matters how much they have in the bank well in that case the XboX is the most succesfull console of all time cause M$ hasn't made shit off it, but they got a boat load of cash in the bank,lol. |

| Saw all this and I thought I'd download a GCN ISO and see if it worked. And yes it does. I'm currently playing the Japanese version of Nintendo Puzzle Challenge on my PAL 'Cube, and this games addictive as hell. Anyway, its still a pain in the ass, cause you always have to have your 'Cube hooked up to a LAN/Computer, but heck it works, and its only a matter of time til they iron the freeze-loading bug out... |

| Im so confused. Let me try and get this straight. People somehow ripped gamecube disks and turned them into exes that can be sent via developers cable and ethernet cable to an xbox running PSO and it only works with two games so far. Is that right? |
| QUOTE (BombProofPlane @ Oct 19 2003, 04:01 AM) |
| someone should port this to xbox so you don't have to have your gcn connected to your pc instead you connect your gcn and xbox via crossover cable together and now you can play anywhere |
