Ok i have phantasy star online epsoides 1 and 2 plus,a broadband adapter and a viper extreme chip installed on my cube.now im new to this so how do i back up the cube games?i know you have to stream the games to your pc cuz your drive wont reconize the disc and so you can make a image of it and stream it back to play it but i want to beable to stream the game to my pc make a image or whatever of the game and burn it to a mini dvd-r and then play it on my cube without having to stream it back or whatever and playing the back up that way.so is it possible to do that and how and what software do i need for my pc to do all of this?Help will be greatly apriciated.Thanks.
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.
oh ok so thats how you transfer your games to your pc for burning?ill just do that and burn the images if that works.i have nero 6.6,will that work for burning the games once there transfered to my pc or should i use a diffrent burning program?
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
ok cool.should i use full sized dvds or mini dvds to burn the games to and run them on my cube?also what speed should i burn them at and what speed discs should i get?could i get a link to get that GCOM and wget 2?thanks
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
ok ill probbley buy a case to use the 12cm discs but what about the disc speed to burn the backups at and the speed of the discs?also how can i get those tools so i can transfer the games to my pc?
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.
oh ok well luckly my gf has a gamecube and a qoob pro installed.is there any easier way to transfer the games to my pc cuz i dont want to have to put a bunch of commands in or data or crap like that im a newbie at this so you know.isnt there another easier way of streaming the game to the pc other than the pso methad?
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.
oh and ragde using that methad which seems not to hard at all the game gets transfered thru the broadband adapter i take it?Also how long does the proccess take for 1 game?
