Gamecube apparently hacked

[javeryh]

I never thought this would happen. I'd post the link but I don't want to cause any trouble. Check out www.digg.com (http://www.digg.com) for the story.

Meh, if it's taken THIS long for a hack like this to come out, and the console is right near the end of its lifecycle, I say Nintendo won the war this round.

I always thought people were able to do this, it just wasn't as easy as the method posted.

im not shocked. if there's a will, there's a way. i don't see this becoming widespread, though. those blank nintendo disks aren't available at walmart, ya know.

They did this a while back and just opend the top of the GC so you could use a regular disk.

I guess the moders are pretty much done with this gen then. All 3 consoles can be modded without chips now.

coundnt find the link, but loaders for GC are around for a while.

edit: found the link, while the guide is posted in january, the method is known since last April (probably earlier)

I'm pretty sure Walmart sells blank miniDVDs... :D

I use softmod for PS2, but bought to many of the 10/5/and less games over december holiday clearances that I would almost be wasteing my time now for doing this with Gamecube since the gamecube has only a few games coming out during the last days of its life.

But there in my statement is a hard fact, lower the price of games and it would be more trouble to pirate games than buy them as in point with my gamecube collection.

There is another method (actually referenced in the article) that uses the Nintendo BBA and your home PC. It actually streams the data from your PC through the BBA and to your GC. You need the PSO game to make it work.

I've never done it, but I always thought it was pretty ingenious.

yea that pso method has been around since pretty much the time pso was released

[Steggy]

the pdo method is super slow though. Unplayable on nearly all games due to the horrendous lag. Streaming games is just a bad idea.

Im getting old. Been playing video games since I was 3 and now Im 20. I have NEVER modded a system (but am currently trying to do so with my psp). I feel like I'm missing out on something :oldman:
