GameCube ISOs Released?
Mister.de writes "An online piracy group called "StarCube" has made ISO's of games like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker available for download on the net. They are not publicly available to everyone, but are said to be hosted on private warez FTP sites. As of yet (6/14/2003) there is no way to actually play the games after burning to a mini-disc, but reliable sources say that there will be a hack for the GameCube released soon so that these illegal copies can be played. Also rumors do have it that the copied games can be played on the Panasonic GameCube, but that is unconfirmed. " The story came from Console-Gods originally.
on slashdot, because the feds will see it and immediatedly shut it down. way to ruin our fun /.!
I write code.
Atleast you could've included some rumored links? Or sites rumored to contain links rumored to contain the warez? After all, this is Slashdot!!

Of course, I can see it now;
but then, I haven't been on the warez boards for a long, long time. Do they still use the FILE_ID.DIZ?

I didn't know Slashdot was getting into the warez scene! Finally, S/ashd0t 1s l33t!

Here's a very preliminary one. Of course, any current console requires *much* faster PC hardware than is currently available in order to emulate it properly. Even the existing N64 emulators use lots of "accuracy optional" HLE hacks in order to achieve decent speed. I'm sure by the time Gamecube emulation becomes viable, acquiring hacked ISOs of the mini discs won't be necessary - and Nintendo won't care quite so much since most everyone will have moved on to far better consoles than are now available.

I wonder why that post was written 2 days ago... hmmm
That is, until you get busted for wazes and have to pay a £20,000 fine.

Maybe another approach: clamp a stack of regular DVD blanks together on a length of all-thread, place in an engine lathe, and spin down to mini-DVD size.
Of course I don't know if any special configuration of the media is required on the outer edge of the disc.

There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.

Yes, but you'd still be saving money after your 500th game!

That green slime had it coming.
The real reason this was done was to get Linux on the GameCube, right?

Getting an ISO wouldn't be impossible - the real problem is that you have to rig your 'Cube to read it, as GCN discs spin *backwards*.
