Getting disc data onto computer

PentiumPro · July 16th, 2003

I think I'll just go ahead and ask the big question.How would anyone manage to get the data off of the discs?Calm down TS, I'm not asking for iso's or anything.

As far as I know, normal drives cannot do this.I'm not even sure what kind of format they are.DVD or...bla. Or if they are incrypted out to in.I've so much of this mumbo jumbo over the years that I don't know whats really true(In case you guys are going,"This guy's an IDIOT!").Is there some non-talked about method of doing this? Such as hooking up to the box? Just asking outta curiosity.

use use the boardband adapter and hook the eternet cable to yout pc's network card and u dump the data of the gd-rom, I'm not sure how to do this

PentiumPro · July 16th, 2003

There has to be a program to do that, or aan app to give the dc an ip address or something wierd.

Cyrus 64 (I'm guessing) has that program, but as a part of Icarus. But, unfortunately, it hasn't been released yet (like u didnt know).

I'm absolutely AMAZED that this emulator has been growing under my nose.and AMAZED that it's sooooo damn accurate.I know that developers dont owe anything to us but damn!throw us a bone man

releases are golden.it's so FAR! Anyways, whoever the author is, keep up the good work!

**Yeloazndevil** · July 21st, 2003

the author is Cyrus64

PentiumPro · July 21st, 2003

So if i search something like, cyrus 64 tools, on google I should find it?I'll look.

Guessing by the author's name, he's a fan of N64 correct?

Regulus · July 21st, 2003

no. i dont think its been released.

PentiumPro · July 21st, 2003

ooooooohhh. I get it. He's the author of the emulator as well.Tool with the emulator. Got it. I hope he releases soon. It's more than good enough for a first release. But good things come to those who wait. Power to him. Seems like a talented guy.

In order to rip DC games from the DC, you need wither the DC coder's cable (IIRC it plugs into the serial port, and thus is ballbreakingly slow), or the BBA (there are 2 versions IIRC, a 100Megabit (12.5Megs/sec) or the 10 Megabit (1.25 Megs/sec)). All of these I understand require a pirce of software to run on the DC. Cyrus didn't write that to the best of my knowledge.

Where can I get the cable?

PentiumPro · July 22nd, 2003

Not surprised.Thanks.

PentiumPro · July 27th, 2003

God. 12.5 kbps. How big are the discs, usually?

Regulus · July 27th, 2003

like anywhere from 500 MB-1GB that makes anywhere from 10-24 hours per game.

PentiumPro · July 27th, 2003

Awww horsecrap! 1gb? What type of discs are they?

Regulus · July 27th, 2003

GD ROMs. Kinda like a DVD, but more encryption is used. Does anybody know why its able to read CDs also? I thought it is like a high-density laser or something......

IMO, its working almost the same as DVD ROM that can read normal CDs. High desity, yes, but that working on the GD disc, for normal CD probably it switched ?

Are you saying theres 2 lasers? cause theres not.

**Kane** · July 28th, 2003

It probably just changes the frequency of the laser, or maybe there is something in hte TOC which tells it how far the gaps are apart.
