    Since I don't have a V Extreme then i'm not really sure, but doesn't the chip lets you stream the game through the USB it has.

    I have heard from a friend that PSO I & II Plus does not work. I am having problems with it and I'm still waiting for somebody to confirm this before I return mine.

    ok with streaming the game back to play it,doesnt that cuase lag?cuz i heard if you burn the back up to a mini dvd-r and play it that way you dont get any slowdown compared to streaming the game to play it.i also am trying to find out what software i need to back up the games cuz ill find a way of getting pso eposides 1 and 2 and what steps i need to do to back up the game.so if someone could let me know what steps to do and what software and maybe a link to the software i need that would be awsome.thanks

    why dont you try to run psol or even better GCOM and stream the game that way. That's how I do it. However, Qoob has 32 banks to save bios and stuff so I just put the GCOM there and run it then I use wget and that way i transfer my games.

    no Nero is good enough (considered the best). Don't forget about the media that is a big issue; good media means good backups. I recomend Ritek

    If you have a case that you can fit 12cm DVD and I recomend that because 12cm DVD's are cheaper or if you are going to leave the top case off that I recomend the same; otherwise, you are going to be using mini DVD's. Have fun

    Wget you might have to Google it since I don't have the link at the moment. By the way the program is a DOS application so you have to input all the data needed.

    And GCOM you get it from tehskeen.com look for it in the forums.


    You should burn'em at the slowest speed the discs and burner can affort. 4x for most of the discs but it all depends on the media and burner.

    Yes with the Qoob just insert a game press B while loading when the menus come up just go to your computer open IExplorer and type this http://192.168.1.32/DVD in your browser and save the file somewhere after it's done just rename the file to whatever game it is and put the extension as *.iso and done. That easier cant be.

    Note do nat use Firefox as it will not complete the download or the image will be corrupt

    why don't you just by a Special GC case from iHackPS2.org so you can stick in your blank DVD +/- R's and boot them from Viper Extreme!

    well i plan on getting a FULL XCM Gamecube Case (Crystal Clear) from http://www.modchipman.com/full-xcm-gamecube-case-crystal-clear-p-600.html so a case to use full sized dvds is not a problem.im trying to find out a easy way of backing up gamecube games here to my pc then burning them with my nero 6.6 and playing the back up on my cube(im a newbie so i dont want to have to type in code or use the dos prompt im not good with that stuff).so thats all i have to do with the qoob pro ragde?sounds good to me hope it works good and the backups will boot fine and play 100%.

    Can someone post a picture of a BBA. I think I have one but not sure. It connects to the bottom of my GC and had a post to connect a USB cable (I think). It is used to play gameboy cartrages.
