Well I'm a Nintendo Boy, and always will be :wink:

So will be trying this out in the new year also!

Still feels, wrong to me though, placing a CD in a Nintendo Machine :roll:

well with the 64 there was a cd drive for it that allowed backups 2 be played so got used 2 my m8 doin that, with the super famicon i had a super magicom which allowed me to load games from fdd

Yeah the N64 one was called Doctor v64 and the SNES one was called Super Wildcard in the UK. The Super Wildcard started off as a disk-drive add-on then evolved into a CD drive. My mate has both but I can only dream! You can still get the Doctor v64 here: http://n64.icequake.net/mirror/www.bung.com.hk/ and I'm sure the Wildcard is still available somewhere...

I thought the it doesn't have the best zelda on (the best game ever made by man, woman or beast TM), that being The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past. The reason for this is because they want people to buy it on the GBA:SP, and screw that.

If it does have the snes one I'll see if i can get it on ebay or something. I thought it was:

in
Legend of Zelda (NES)
Legend of Zelda 2 (NES)
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
and a demo of wind waker (GCN)

Just checked - you were right, I was wrong :oops:

You can get it from Nintendo with their VIP points reward thing, I'm gonn order one tomorrow

This is also true, but how the hell did you manage to save up 4500 stars?!? I've got less than 1000! Still got a few games to register, but I really doubt that it'll be anywhere near the target... :evil:

Doctor v64 ended up costing more than the console itself. Roms --> zip disk. Read all about them on megagames back on the day and was thinking about buying one. Never did, ended up infesable

oh and about the zelda disc, that's what I read on ign by off chance. I was expecting bundles version of f-zero X with GX and mario kart and mario kart 64 with Mario Kart: Double Slash. Didn't happen though

It's a shame that nintendo didn't include them

Tried 2 more games with the hack Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg and Capcom vs. SNK - Both work well in game, but Billy Hatcher has save problems and both stutter quite a lot. Looks like the stuttering is unavoidable in most games, especially in things like FMV or where a lot of data is needed to be sent to the Gamecube, because this exploit doesn't really stream data to the cube at a fast enough rate. The result is like watching a DivX movie on a computer with low processor speeds - choppy video and audio.

I'm happy enough with it though. With great games like Nintendo's you don't really notice the faults when you are deep in the game!

I think M$ is determined to be first out with a new machine

I read today that new Playstation and Xbox are coming out in 2005, and Nintendo are aiming to get their one out during next year...

And a new Gameboy should be with us before you know it, early next year according to reports I read! Hopefully it will piss on PSP especially when it is backwards compatible again and they bring out a high capacity cartridge. A new console released for the Chinese market released by Nintendo, the IQue, is a console in a gamepad, but the console inside is pretty much an N64. This takes flash cartridges that gamers can take to the game shop and download a game onto it using a machine instore. So if they're able to fit N64 games on a small cartridge, the possibilities for the new Gameboy are quite promising. We'll have to wait and see what they bring us!

Well, sorry to dig up this old corpse

But I've JUST mamaged to find a BBA for the GC in the UK (hooray!)
and a copy of PSO I&II so tonight i'm gonna give the whole GC piracy thing a try

I've downloaded QUBiSM Remote Loading Server v1.0 REPACK, I assume I'm good to go now.

Cool

Have fun with that tonight and keep us posted on if it's worth it :wink:

MY GAMECUBE IS RARELY USED NOWADAYS AS i CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY SO MANY GAMES.

Krug · **Posted:** Fri Jun 18, 2004 2:49 pm **Post subject:**

Well I've never used Qubism, but I would really recommend Phoenix instead, because it's the best out of all the ones I have tried, and it's the one everybody gets excited about when there is a new release! You should be able to find it on maxconsoles.com, if not it's on Suprnova.

Let me know if you need some help, I'll keep checking back...

On a sidenote, Datel are releasing a device to help uploading games to GC, it's like a writable memory card that can run executables, but not much info on it so far. Maybe it will let you play mini DVDR. MAYBE.

Anyway, some progress has been made since the start of Gamecube piracy, but not much, it's still not perfect.

Krug · **Posted:** Fri Jun 18, 2004 2:51 pm **Post subject:**

Actually the Qubism one, that's the one that lets you find the files from your gamecube isn't it? So forget what I just said, use that. I think you still need phoenix though to get it working.

Thanks Krug, I've got Phoenix Loader 2.3b as well now, just waiting to leave work so I can play

Further comments neccessary... :lol:

Where did you buy one for and how much?

PC_Arcade · **Posted:** Fri Jun 18, 2004 3:32 pm **Post subject:**

Somewhat Bizzarely I walked into Game in Debenhams and there it was! Bought that for ?34.99 then walked next door into a new shop called eplay (http://www.eplay.co.uk) and bought PSO episode 1&2 second hand for ?19.99.

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Fri Jun 18, 2004 3:45 pm **Post subject:**

ah rite, i'm looking into ebay for a purchase one day

Krug · **Posted:** Fri Jun 18, 2004 3:53 pm **Post subject:**

i got mine from http://www.lik-sang.com not too expensive at the time, just a pain to wait for it!

I just got Donkey Konga off mule, so I can't wait to play that tonight! Have you guys seen it? You have to play bongos along to tunes! Don't have bongos though

I read today aswell that there is gonna be a new gameboy, that is NOT the DS! Like they said DS is not going to be a gameboy successor, so they are working on one.

Just got my first "backup" up and running

Looks like a LONG night :lol:

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Fri Jun 18, 2004 6:06 pm **Post subject:**

Well i'm bidding on ebay atm, been taking potshots at them trying to find one with a price that stays low.

lik-sang are cheaper than retail here, but with p&p and the risk over duty, it will be cheaper to get it from Game in leeds which I think has one for ?34.99.

I maybe able to scab PSO 1 cheap, I know a friend who has it and no BBA

Krug · **Posted:** Fri Jun 18, 2004 8:08 pm **Post subject:**

PC_Arcade · **Posted:** Sat Jun 19, 2004 12:19 pm **Post subject:**

Yeah, it's pretty cool

Some games are better thsn others though and some I haven't been able to get working at all, but it's saved me more than it's cost so far
