Game cube Mini DVD

[omega_weapon]

Hi, somebody has tried to copy or emulate a gamecube game? I just tried to read it in my PC, but the dvd drive doesn't even recognize it! They r supposed to be mini dvds I tried in 3 diferent dvd drives, and no one read the f.. disc.

The only way to read them for now is in the Gamecube itself connected to a PC via crossover cable or router I think, then you can rip the image to your PC and stream it to the Gamecube or try it out on an Emulator. The emu scene isnt coming along too far though and the streaming isn't that great to be honest.

"Lets not have people steal our games" perhaps?

It is technically on a Mini-DVD, its just the format it uses is unreadable in a PC DVD-ROM drive. Sega did the same thing for the Dreamcast, Microsoft did it for the XBox. Sega used a proprietary format called GD-ROM (held 1.2GB of data), MS uses DVD's but it uses XFAT file system, which is also unreadable.
