Gamecube *finally* Cracked

i only bought a sample pack, the cost and effort of returning them will be more than the cost of the sample pack.

They don't appear faulty, they just have 1mb less capacity than the iso, they are reported as blank and seem to read fine by my pioneer.

I only have a DRE on PoP2 now, and I'm going to just burn that at 4x and see if it fixes.

Both Mario Tennis and Metriod 2 work dandy

No more PSO + BBA for me

Just got AR replay working, no need for all those cables etc AND I can take my GC further away from the PC and put it back where it was before :beerchug:

how much did that set you back though?

I wish there was a way just to boot from a memory card... I have a usb one so can put files on it via that.

?14.99 for the AR from play.com

Don't use FSTfix on a 1.35gb image unless you need to sort the streaming audio, and then only use the sound option.

Thank you for your email.

We have not had any bad batches of mini DVD-Rs that we are aware of.

The Datawrite can have a size of 1.392 or 1.400GB (specified in "extra info"), the Hyundai are 1.395.
As far as I am aware there is no size that they "should be", these are the sizes that the manufacturers make them.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Tim

seems they're meant to be shit

That's quite cheap for an action replay, but I have to ask myself, do I really want to spend more on the gamecube? :lol:

That's a lie.

They have definately had a bad batch of Bulkpaqs as I have a box here.

It's unlik SVP, but guess they're going downhill now too

selling ur bba+pso will get you a lot more than ?15 spud

PC_Arcade · **Posted:** Fri Mar 18, 2005 1:22 pm **Post subject:**

Yeah, I considered that, but I'd never be able to upgrade GCOS (etc) then

Looks like DRE's will be a thing of the past soon if Cobra Bios's developers are to be believed

Krug · **Posted:** Fri Mar 18, 2005 6:59 pm **Post subject:**

True, didn't think of that.

You'll have to wait for them to crack it again though, I bet Mentalcube won't be making the same mistakes again, Utopia said they wouldn't have been able to do it if it hadn't been for flaws by Mentalcube in their protection.

already bought an action replay lol, can you point me to the url to tell me how to get it working? Hopefully it will arrive through the post over the next few days.

lol, I was going great, did all the second disc of RE4 with no errors, then i got one on the jet ski ffs :lol:

Krug · **Posted:** Sat Mar 19, 2005 12:56 am **Post subject:**

I had no errors on disc 2

Getting the AR working is a piece of cake

You need this file : http://forums.maxconsole.com/attachment ... stid=36676

Just bung your OFFICIAL memory card in slot b and run the batch file.

shitty disc, its right on the end bit, so it must be a read error.

I ordered some different discs.

@PCA, official? damn, well I got a 64mb usb one with all the snizzle backed up on my pc anyways

I had a shitty one that kept corrupting when I copied stuff across the bband, this one doesn't do this

Plus its 64mb and I can back shit up

PC_Arcade · **Posted:** Sun Mar 20, 2005 12:03 pm **Post subject:**

The 64Mb one should be even better, the reason you need an official card is that ctr-gts is very pick about what card it will and wont write to, you can skip that whole step and just write directly to the card using the PC.

excellent, excellent

I completed RE4, would have done much earlier if it wasn't for all these DRE. I got a bit worried when I thought it was going to turn out to be samey, but they spiced the gameplay up a lot and I was impressed by a lot of the environments. Just as always too short... there sure as hell is going to be a RE5.

Anyway you seen anywhere that sells mini dvd +r? They are apparantly recommend by most of the modding and ripping people, but I've yet to find a single store in the uk that sells them

Krug · **Posted:** Mon Mar 21, 2005 4:56 pm **Post subject:**

AFAIK, they don't exist. When they say DVD+R on those sites, they're talking about fullsize.

Whats the outcome of all this?
Is it possible to mod the cube without a chip yet, using only an AR and required files?

Yeah, although you either need someone to put the files on your memory card using PSO and the BBA or you need PSO and the BBA to put them on youself.

If you're in the UK I'm happy to put the files on the MC (has to be an official one) for you

Gamecube finally Cracked
