HOW TO BURN A GC-DISC step by step manual :-)
Ok i have READ the GC-Disc in my DVD with Clone CD. The Disc finally CD has 75:12 min, the game is NHL Hitz 20-02, and Super Monkey Ball (73 min).

Here are the steps to make a COPY of you Game.

FIRST:
RUN CLONE CD

SECOND:
Don't close your DVD-Rom, put the GC-Disc in and

Last Step:
Click on Clone CD Backup-Read from DVD.

ATTENTION!!!!! CLONE CD MUST CLOSE THE DVD- OR THE SOFTWARE CAN'T READ THE DISC.

OK. But now my problem, my 80 Min CD-R don't get in the GC, the Disc ist too great. Now my hope is this page:

http://www.cdmedia-dvd.com/shopping...dvdr.htm#DVD+RW

Here you can buy the ORIGINAL GC DISC WITH 1.5 GB! ALL YOU NEED IS A DVD-BURNER...Please can anyone with a DVD-Burner TEST if the Backup works on the GAMECUBE?
Or is there any Person in this forum that has a Panasonic Q, perhaps the 80 Min CD-R works! So i go and buy a Q :-)))))))).

OK thx, and excuse my BAD english.

BUT THE FIRST WORK IS DONE, YOU CAN RIP THE DISC's
PLEASEW GRAB THE MINI-DISC FROM A DVD, A BURNER DON'T WORK.

If you have probs to make copy,tell me, then i will make a screenshot from my Clone-CD Setting...

BBB|Trueman

can u provide me with the settings needed plz

Holy shit man, first I thought my dvd reader was actually reading the disc.

I got down to making an image file but the whole image was made in only 1m30secs, problem: my dvd lamp wasn't burning at all, like he wasn't reading or something

I tried with 2 gamez; Luigi's Mansion and Smash Brothers

both image files took up 1,56 gb !!!
exactly the same time to make an image of smash and luigi


I've read somewhere on this forum that smash brothers takes up around 786 mb.... my image file 1,56 gig (probably the full capacity of the mini dvd)

anyone knows what I'm doing wrong here ?

help appreciated :confused:

i thought the GC disks held 1.9 gig

even from the offical nintendo they say their disks hold 1.5g

Any news ?
 

Hi,

Any news about copy on mini DVD-R ?

We wait that someone with a dvdburner perform somes tests with the mini-dvdrs 8cm.

hold tite, gabbermp3 says they are getting a dvd burner and some disks at the end of july so lets see what they say after that. :)

Dont work
 

It dont work, just enable logging and you can see that it is just adding Dummy data!

not bad i did as it said at the top of the page and it riped monkey ball at 1.62Gig that's with a 6x Creative DVD-ROM only thing now is trying to get it onto a disc small enoghth to fit in the gc
thanx for the post

ok i can test for u guys

if someone can upload a gc image file to my ftp i can test it too see if it works as i have some blank mini dvdr here just need a image file to test it
also i have a panasonic Q and can also try burning it to dvdr,
just need a image file to test it
and i will post resalts here;)
if anyone can supply me with a image file email me or leave message here.


email me p_picardo********** com

ok im still waiting for someone who has a gb image file to upload it to my ftp so i can test the image on mini dvdr and dvdr

if anyone has a image please upload it to my ftp or if u have it on ftp email me

and i will post resalts here

ok i have been trying to upload a gc image but i carnt seem to get onto the ftp but i think that the image it makes is a dummy file because if you get the image and zip it up with winzip the 1.6gb can be compresed into a tiny 1.7mb if i can get onto jjcool's ftp ill upload the image but sorry i dont thing it will work

Stube 2K
i find that very strange indeed??
might bbe worth trying to copy a diffrent game,

my ftp is open so your welcome to upload it,
im downloading a gc image right now, but the more images i get the more testing i can do,

if anyone else has any images please fell free to upload them to my ftp

Another idea
 

What about booting the dvdr? i've heard that the cube doesnt read dvdrs?! I think u can insert a original gc dvd and boot the cube to the black screen, than insert a dvdr...
may it will work?!? or is there a boot cd available yet? i dont know? or even a mod-chip for backups???

it's only an idea so... test it plz

Mr. Wilson
i do indeed intend to try

a, mini dvdr boot,
b, dvdrw, boot
c, dvdr, boot

im not saying its going to work but we can damm give it a try,
its all about experiment, thats the key!

also you say " I think u can insert a original gc dvd and boot the cube to the black screen"

im not sure that would work, but like i said before we can only experement and see what happens,

as for a modechip
i think modechips are a long way off yet!!!
as the gamecube it's not as easy to crack as the XBOX:mad:

as the gamecube motherboard has no generic FLASH or recognizeable ROM part on it

Yes, but cant anyone create a boot cd?

(anyone here in the forum knowing how to try it?)
that'd be another possibility or?
the url for buying the mini dvdrs is not right!
anybody knowing where to buy them?

(sry for my bad english)

GCN Images are just Dummy Sectors
 

Dont waste your DVDmini's unless you get a valid image. When you make a image, check it with a .hex editor, you will see there is no data!! But keep trying, would love to see someone figure out how to copy a GC cd. Also, go to your local electronics store, they have miniDVD's but they will be in the Video camera section.

maybe this boot disk can work?
http://www.lik-sang.com/catalog/prod...ducts_id=1964&
im not sure but its worth to try it i think =)

I dont completely believe it will work but I got a 1-2 meg iso that claims it can boot import and burned GC games that are burned on mini cd-r (says it dosent work on mini dvd-r). Yes I know it sounds kinda fishy but if anyone want it, I will be mroe than willing to upload it to them, the zip file is only around 1-3 megs.

If u can zip the image on only 1 or 2 mb it are only dummy files!check it with a hex editor! :(

Its a boot disk, not a game. Plus I checked the iso with cd-mage, it does have files in it, its not blank.

Cyber Akuma
if u can upload it to my ftp i will have a look,

Ok, pm me the login info.

cant send you a pm messeage m8

email me p_picardo********** com

please send it also to me....send it through email if possible...

Ok, whats your email? Dont forget to tell me if ti works or not.

ok i have tryed the bootdisc and i can confirm it doesent work.

the cube wont even try to read it.

I figured as much

oh well it sounded promicing when i first looked at the file,

but hey, never mind sure somethink else will pop up soon mate,;)

Yo guys,The Gc Disc spinns in the opposite direction!"
 

Yo guys,I hae readin all the posts ,and i can´t belive that nobody ever tryd to let the disc run with an open load(same trick ps1).Fact is that the disc runs in the other direction-so u may copy that disc but it only writes data fake like some guy at this forum sad!
So guys don´t waste ur time on burning images to any dvd or shit!!
I quess the only solutiom is a data linker like them gamboyadvance needs!!
Remember the cartridge shit back in the 90´s?
U just needed afloppy and that kind of linker and u saved data on floppy-and same wth loadin.....
Thats the only way i see!!
but iam stupid.my father told me that a lifetime:D

Ummm, just today I opened the cover while the game was playing, the cd was spinning clockwise.

The GC spins clokwise, just like any other CD. THe bacwards thing is a myth.

spinning a disk a different way to convenctional method is a myth.

however writing the data outside in may be a little closer to the truth but still not confimed.

but if true then this may be the reason for the gamecubes fast loading times.

think if it like being on a roundabout, sit near the middle and it goes quite slowly but sit on the edge and you could be going several times faster!!!!

food for thought?

well said akahomeruk ;)

Has anyone tried the Nero way for burning a PS2 game for burning a GameCube one? I don’t think the GameCube has any protection due to the size. I think that was Nintendo's key defence. Oh about the cube not being able to read DVD-R's well that’s got to be bull**** the GameCube has a DVD Rom in it but just reads data only. Oh and one last thing I heard GameCube games are burnt backwards I don’t know if that has anything to do with the myth you guys are talking about.

yes Stephen Wildman that is what we have been talking about in the posts above. but as yet it is not confirmed by any relible sources but is more than likely for my speed reason above.

not ever even touching a ps2 i am not sure of the "Nero way for burning a PS2 game" would you care to enlighten me?

about the size of the disk i dont think this really is nintendo's only protection from piracy. as we no they are totally kleptophobic, in that they fear pirating more than heights, enclosed spaces and spiders put together.

so yes this format is going to be hard to crack but i am sure there are alot of other protections on there as well.

my money is going to be something along the same lines as what the dreamcast had, since ninteno and sega seem to be good buddies now i am sure something got disscused.

Again,

If you have backed up a GCN disc try compressing using winzip and it will compress to about 2MB if its a dummy!

HAVE YOU TRIED DDUMP?

If you have a good DVD drive (that can read sub data) its supposed to read around 40% disc surface... maybe even more if you use the surface scan...
download from -
http://www.geocities.com/ddumpfrontend/

if you have any luck make sure you use a hex editor to check its data and not dummy files!
Also use all ripping mothods available on the software!

other riping ways is the DC method with the cable from the GCN!
I think the main problem is playing them!
If we could by pass the barcode we wouldnt realy have much problem - despite rumors of disc spining backwards and data writen backwards bull shit!

i tried ddump a while ago from that very site but everytime it tried to read it my pc would freeze, and i dont think it was a micro$oft thing!!!!! :P

thats when i turned to clone but now we have discovered that it was a dead end :(

This usually happens to me using any software when trying to read GCN discs.
What you have to do is leave your PC for around 10-15 minutes after freezing and it usually unfreezes itself. What is happening is your Dvd drive cannot read the barcode part on the GCN disc so it keeps trying and trying.

After it unfreezes windows usually deteaminds it has a audio CD in with 1.99GB of data on it.
THEN if your DVD does read sub data use the securdisc method on Ddump to read the disc and on mine PC the error comes up saying> Your Disc drive CANNOT read Subdata (which it cant).

So if your DVD does read Sub, try this method again and when your PC freezes out - Just leave it for around 15 minutes and it SHOULD unfreeze!
