About time!? That's bad! Let's see what ninty does 'bout this, though. I don't need a friggin' mod chipMystic Gohan said:

Nintendo will kill this deader than *insert-own-cliche-here*. It's my (admittedly limited) understanding though that the 'Cube just can't be made to read anything other than its own special disk format. Datel had to hack their own compatible boot-type for the AR/Gameshark. Would the laser even be capable of the job of reading non-proprietary standard discs? I don't think that can be forced without any laser-tinkering.
I believe it is a 650nm laser, but it's been very long since I was into this stuff so I can't remember for sure. That means however that it can read some DVD media if I'm not mixing things.
As for this chip, as 2fast4u mentioned, it doesn't do anything which cannot be done already really. I could be wrong though of course.

hmm, what stalkid said interests me, is it possible that someone figure out how Datel made their crap AR work, and do the same to make GC Discs (personally, i only back up games i have bought and currently own) or would we need to press them in some undergroud factory in hong kong?

In case you didn't know, that's a BAD THING. Don't you ever buy your games LEGALLY? Sheesh, all I've seen lately is you having the latest emulation releases ect. ect. Try buying the actual consoles/games, I hear developers actually prefer it that way.

So this requires;
A GameCube.
A chip (which lets face it, Nintendo's legal department will kill dead because it has no other purpose but to circumvent copy protection. Very dead.)
A hacked BIOS (again more fun ahead for Nintendo lawyers. Anyone else curious they chose to show the BIOS screen but NOT actually have a mini-dvdr being booted as "proof"?)
A .GCM (I hear those lawyers a-callin'!)
Mini-DVDr's. (which I still have doubts the laser in the NGC will read correctly if they've kept up the security other than just having proprietary media... I'll concede I'm not up on laser ratings.)
An original paid for NGC game. Well Nintendo make their money from the hardware sales unlike others... whatever the result they get some more cash from this.

Ok, this is confirmed as being real. It does boot backus, but the GC is very picky about the media. It also reads normal sized DVD-R's better than the mini's. The chip is also quite expensive (~€60).
And just a friendly reminder, we don't allow talk about where to get illegal things. We do not want this bios spread here on the boards (even though it is not using copyrighted code, it is not clear whether it's built using any copyrighted SDK's etc). Discussion about it is allowed though of course, as long as you stay within the forum's rules

This is interesting indeed. The videos I saw dont make me want to run out and disassemble my gamecube then solder in a chip, and have a shell-less NGC reading real DVDs, but if you can solder it in and boot minis, it means 2 things:
1) Ninty is going to shit a brick
2) The gamecube mod scene should spring up quick.
