i guy told me this week that his buddy has cracked the problem with making backups of gamecube games without needing a mod chip, just using mini dvd-r disks has anyone else figured this one out?
I bought a Matshita DVD-R/RAM and some mini DVD-R Discs. but my DVD-R/RAM wont read my gamecube disc. Plus I'm wondering if there is any special program i'll need to use Nero is nifty but is it powerful enough to copy them straight across. If I find out more I'll post Here.
I can't get any of my gamecube games to read in my computer's DVD-Ram, or in of the dvd-rom's in the store I work in to read them either. All the drives I've tried are Windows XP and the DVD icon on the drive changes form DVD to CD when the disc has stopped trying to read it. I'm trying to find out if the disc has a different filing system on it or if it coded differntly like those of the original PSX Games ( a.k.a. Mode2 or XA-CDrom). Even if I have to build a linux box just to find out more, I will.
- I also found out that panasonic dvd drive are the same or simular thechnology used in the gamecube, and all of Panasonic's dvd drive are made by Matsushita/Matshita
p.s. please post if any body knows any good DVD recording software simular to clonecd or something that will give data type info on a dvd in your drive THNX-----------I am Kaiser Soze'
im using a pioneer dvr-105 drive attempted a few diferent ways to read a gamecube disk with no luck. Did some homework on this subject and i read somewhere that the technology to burn the gamecube games which uses optical disk format wont be here for about another 3 years and by then the cube will be obsolete have you found the same information as me or have you had any luck with reading or copying the disks?
Open your dvd tray and put the game but not enter the tray..
Start clonecd and select to make an image of the cd select the name and those things and hit start and let him go...
some say it works by this methode...
Clonecd does do some thing when you do the "dont close the tray trick" but it doesn't seem valid. CloneCD read the gamecube disc like a cd not a dvd, so every burning program that reads ISO doesnt understand that the disc is 1.6gb. CloneDVD was going to be the asewer to my prayers but like every other software out there it's designed for movies. Some buddy must have a Prog like PSXCopy or something to get the disc to read an image to the HD.
P.S. Ulead DVD Factory has a DVD ISO Burner built into the program , but would not read my clonecd iso of a gamecube game. WE NEED A LIGITIMATE DVD ISO EXTRACTOR 1:1 baby
You can't read Gamecube disc in standard DVD-ROM drive the first sector is empty, check under the light you will understand.And you will always have the same lenght of ISO because they full the disc of scrap for the empty space. It's what I have read, someone talk about Clone DVD I will try tonight.
