Title: Gamecube Hacked!
Post by: Mechazilla on September 24, 2003, 02:07:00 PM
:lol:

QUOTE (GCDEMOS.com @  Sept. 24, 2003)

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 I’m 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!


Awesome work.

Well, it would be nice if it is true... I have seen all to many of these types of stories with hacking every console.. Not that I don't think it can't be done, surely it can.. but as of now this will be going in the "Rumour Pile" with the other 5 or 6 GameCube HACKED! Announcements I have read since June.

One thing that stikes me as odd about this statement is this:

Ok, one, still rumours, two, why would you need an add-on to run DVD-R unless he is referring to the full size DVD-Rs? We all know there are already the mini DVD-Rs that will fit the GC images fine. Why would we need or want to have an extra full size DVD-Rom attached to the cube also? Doesn't make any sense to me.

he is obviously referring to FULL SIVE DVDRs (DVD4/DVD5/DVD9).

ya no one has figured out a way to backup the GC games to work on the GC. And a normal DVD player can't read the original discs because they are optical or something like that. Either way, I am almost positve that in order for this to work you will need to add on a dvd player of some sort.

You are tight about it will lead to more piracy. That is probably one of the main reasons to hack a GC. But it will also lead to some great homebrew developments. So who knows what the future will hold for GC hacking. But I do know that in order to hook up a normal DVD rom to the GC you have to somehow adapt the 80 wires withing the DVD rom cord to work for the GC, which as you might of guessed is pretty fucking hard.

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.

Except they still can't sell units to anybody but the Japanese in quantities to matter, and Sony has stolen much of their "home audience"

There are industry rumors that Nintendo is going to pull a SEGA, except for portable hardware (GBx, possibly PGC). They banked a lot on N64 and GC, and their margins are a whole lot tighter than Sony and even M$ - except their title-to-hardware ration stinks to high heaven.

The funny thing is, wide-spread piracy might actually HELP the big "N" - by improving the popularity. To be honest, piracy has not hurt M$ bottom line in any of it's products, and likely kept Xbox in the spotlight in the gaming community. I know my modded Xbox has influenced the purchase of at least 5 Xboxes by others at work who have not modded them at all (and have bought lots of games for the kids). That's publicity, of a sort.

How many here have bought Xboxes months in advance of modding, and bought games to go with? I'd say plenty. Same is true of Sony's PSX and PS2.

I know two people who have Gamecubes. One's collecting dust because he bought an Xbox, the other says he's sorry he got it, because his kids don't like the games (they got two with the system, rent alot) and still play their PSX more. Between the two of them, they've purchased maybe 4 games...

The GC might be a decent system, but let's face it, it probably isn't worth modding at any price - but even so, opening the door might have improved it's chances, as strange as it sounds.

i believe you are right in saying that the gamecube has outsold the xbox (by a SMALL margin, not HUGE)  but the gamecubes not bein selling enough software, 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.

Wow.

And the numbers to support your case? The Gamecube is roughly equivalent to an Xbox, minus the $25 HD, but adding the expense of a specific processor and specialized DVD drive.

I'd say production costs may be close to the same, and given the way M$ leverages suppliers pricing (witness nVidia's jolly rogering), the Xbox might even cost LESS than a GameCube.


So how does that equate to your bizarre 14:1 Xbox ratio and 2:1 Nintendo ratio?? It doesn't.

Where does MY info come from? It comes from industry people - people close to Nintendo, in fact.

Hmmmm.. I guess there's absolutely no connection between "stopping production of the GC" and "making Profits" or "Making the GC" and "$27 Million loss"

The Gameboy has been tremendously profitable for them. I dare say that without it, Nintendo might not still be around.

The "dollar dive" was bad for Nintendo, you might want to check up on the numbers in their bank account though.

BenJeremy: Without the GBA Nintendo would still be around. Why don't you look into the facts behind "Japan's number 1 company" (yes, that's Nintendo) before you post?

Game magazine "journalists" often don't know the difference between facts and fiction even if you spell it out for them.

All consoles are "production stopped" every now and then. It happens when you've filled up your warehouses. It says nothing about sales - for that you need to look into other numbers.

http://nintendo.game...ws/0902/028.asp

"Nintendo was one of over 2300 companies put through a system that determines how successful a company is by measuring its profit, debt, influence and other factors. Nintendo had their highest profit in fiscal 2002 while accumulating no debt, beating out last year's winner, Fast Retailing Co. who slipped into third place."

Everything I write is based on publically available facts - unlike everyone else who's posted a lot of rubbish here (including yourself).


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.

That a site with Nintendo in the hostname happens to report about things doesn't necessarily mean it's "spun".

http://cube.ign.com/...2/432158p1.html

"August 05, 2003 - Nintendo today reported a net profit of 11.45 billion yen (or $95 million) for the April-June period, which puts it on track to meet is first-half goal of 15 billion yen."

(The 80k figure in that report, which came from Reuters, was since debunked by Nintendo. It's 800k)

Nintendo has never lost "A LOT" of money. Ever. Feel free to check that statement. They're one of the most successful companies ever. Quoting the link you posted yourself:

"Nintendo announces that it expects to post the first loss in its history for the six months to September."

... first loss in its history. Does that sound like "A LOT" to you?

From the same article:

"Nintendo attributes the losses not only to the poor sales performance of its GameCube console, but also to foreign exchange losses of some 40 billion yen ($360 million)."

... as I said - the weak dollar. It's been known for a long time that Nintendo depends a lot on the yen-dollar exchange rate, so, instead of claiming Nintendo is losing a lot of money - blame that idiot Bush in the whitehouse. Nintendo themselves are doing quite nicely, like they always have - which is ALSO in the link you yourself posted:

"Despite today's announcement, Nintendo still expects to post a net profit of 60 billion yen ($540 million) for the year ending March 2004"

...

(Am I the only one who's a lot older than 14 here? More than the double even .. )

1) Bush is the reason the dollar has fallen through the basement (and according to Nintendo they've lost 360 million on the exchange rate, and still only show a loss of 27 million - so - without the fall of the dollar, what would the profit have been then?)

2) 27 million is peanuts compared to what they STILL expect to show as a PROFIT for the whole fiscal year: 540.

Well, just went through the whole thread...........
All I have to say is it really that important to debate with such ferosity of how many units which console sold the most and which corp makes more money????????????? Is that the original idea of this topic?????
The original topic was on ideas about the project of making Gamecube run ISOs from PC, designing a modchip ideas and such.....and has turned out from this thread.....??????

Common people, lets just slowly step back from all that "sells-profit-loss-27million-gamecube-xbox-information....." stuff...and turn back to hacking gamecube!!!!!!

Troed if you know so much about GC security why have you not said anything new or interesting in this post? You talk about peeps age and I would bet money your some kid who wants everyone to think there l33t or some lame shit like that.

What's your bet?

I'm a 29 year old professional Software Engineer - and one of the people who've hacked the Xbox I'm sure many of you here are using. Feel free to look that up wink.gif

"with BBA/PSO exploit"

*gasp*

A bug has been found in a network enabled game on the GC - that's as much news as the 007 hack on the Xbox. Nice - but it's not a break of the system. Let's see - have I written that before in this thread?

Yes.

Now what else did I write?

Go back and check.

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?

No the iso ripps are in a .GCM form.  Which I guess is the gamecube rom name.  I dont know if this has been posted yet but the best link for all this info is here:

http://www.consolepa...s=&threadid=574

It has the program needed to stream the iso's and an explanation on how to do it.  That is assuming you have all the fixins including the iso images. Ahhem supernova.

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...

sounds cool,
can you tell us more?

what about the loadtime?how long does it take before the game is started, and fps drops en hangings? is it playing just like your playing it from the disk?
im gonna buy pso and a bba monday, have downloaded 8 isos, so ill see if they work smile.gif en will post more about this!

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

ok so maybe i this has been answered and i didn't see it but couldn't they do something with the panasonic Q since it reads full size discs?

I thought the Panasonic-Q, has two readers(trays).  One is for the gamecube, on the top, and the other is in the middle, the DVD player.  I believe that's how it works.

Actually there is different hardware used for playing DVDs and Gamcube games in the Q. It can read DVD-R movies, but can't even read DVD-R GCN games.
