and as an added bonus, it will also allow to play copies! :D

Copies ? Are you sure ? :o

Do you know someone that can reproduce the format of a Gamecube disc ? ;)

It took Datel over 6 months to get Freeloader pressed because there is currently no other way than to get Nintendo to do it for them.

You can use mini dvdr or normal dvdr's but you will have to take the top off, and use a spacer image to put place it in the right location.

Really ?

As far as I was aware nobody has yet cracked it. Its not as simple as that. Its written in a proprietry (sp?) format which reads from the inside edge out doesn't it ?

drop me an email, had to edit my post to remove some things that I posted earlier.

But yes it has been cracked - give it about a week and it will start to trickle down to places.

:cool: YHM

YHM too

Thanks for the info - knew freeloader was imminent.

Now to get Zelda (US) !!

I said a week, well it took longer than I expected for things to finally spread out into the open...

www.gc-nfo.com

Starcube have released the first gamecube iso :The_Legend_Of_Zelda_The_Wind_Waker_USA_NGC-STARCUBE

Currently there is no way to play this off your gamecube however i have been informed from a reliable source for a big surprise shortly ;) So not as simple as just using the freeloader...


(3)>> Release Notes: <<)
| |
| No, you won't be able to play this game on your GC, at |
| least for now. But we thought software and hardware |
| hackers would be interested in a GC release for various |
| reasons, so here it is. |
| |
| For this first one, we decided to give you a pure disc |
| dump. But on a GC disc, all the space that's not used is |
| filled with random garbage, which is bad for compression.|
| Any upcoming release from us will have that garbage |
| removed. |
| |
| Coders can have a look at the /maps directory, which |
| contains symbols information, pretty usefull for |
| reverse-engineering. (Many games have such map files) |
