Okay, then it's fake. I just hoped it isn't. Sorry for wasting your time. I'm such a stupid person.

We appreciate the sharing, but be a lesson learned. Research a console or have experience with one first before jumping the gun on such things. The GC is an old legacy system and for someone like myself would know about such things and others too (i own about 4 of them since 2002 and I used to mod them with Xeno chips ages ago).

YT is full of shit now with clickbait vids, fake vids, recycled information, so video makers/uploaders can make revenue from subs and what not.

Anything like this, if true would be mentioned in legit sources of information in the correct dedicated sites and forums.

99% that's on Youtube is fake.
Save yourself the trouble, the only console you can play pirated games on without modding is the Dreamcast.
And even those units can only be made before Oct 2000 iirc.

not true GameCube can now and its not how this guy did it in the video there is save exploits now been around for about a year put out by @FIX94

Hoo boy this thread is funny. You can just build a DIY Sd Gecko or just buy one for 4.99$ and use SD Media Launcher or an Exploit Game and memory card you can do everything on the cube with no modchips whatsoever and all purely software. Its funny how people assume its not possible without checking well enough.

EDIT: Ironically though his cube is clearly hardmodded because of the replaced led and ipl behaviour. I dont even think the creator of this video knew his cube was modded XD

People even care about those?
I have never known anyone, either growing up as a kid, a teenager, or now as an adult, who have any of those systems in their possession. I finally saw a VirtualBoy in person a few years ago. Never seen an Atari Lynx, a Philips CDi, TurboGrafx, none of that crap. The Sega CD is common though.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but this trick actually worked for me with my unmodified PAL GameCube!

The most amazing part is that it was an NTSC ISO of the Peach's Castle Tech Demo, so it must ignore region checking.

It booted up like normal.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
