I found this tool called the GCN ripper and I can't figure out how to use it. Has anyone used it? Has anyone figured out how to use it? If you don't know what I'm talking about go to this link.

Just to let you know this is a direct download link.

I'm to lazy to look at the file but I think I've seen it already. I thought this was a cool tool then realized I needed Phantasy Star Online to use it. I have the Broadband Adapater and a router to hook up my GCN to my computer but I didn't have PSO. So if that was the same thing I tried, you'll need the BBA, PSO, and a router.

So that's what it is, I also have the BBA but no PSO. I remember seeing a tutorial for this now that I think about it. It might be in the Animal Crossing thread. Either that or it's on some random site.

The GameCube mini-DVDs have a track before DVDs are supposed to have one... it throws off almost all DVD drives in PCs. However, you do find rare DVD drives that will read GameCube discs even though they break the standard.

My friend had this crap external DVD drive and he had heard a rumor that if you put a GC disk into a DVD drive it would corrupt the disk (I know, It's a gay rumor). Well, I was sleeping over at his house and he wanted to get revenge on me for some reason and he put it in the DVD drive and it read it. I'm like WTF! but then his computer broke and his parents threw the whole thing out while he was at summer camp... So basically I witnessed it and I can vouch for what you said FreeDOS

My drive won't read them but it didn't brake mine.

It doesn't like to read the CD\DVDs it burns anymore.

I read on this site about a year ago that you could rip the game from the GC by adding a network adaptor and doing something weird through Phantasy Star Online but again it was a year ago and I'm not remembering the method anymore.

Yeah... hardware doesn't break like that. Try putting a DVD into a CD-ROM drive, it wouldn't recognize the disc (much less read it), but nothing will break.

Taken from Afterdawn.com:
_________________________________________

Full Gamecube backup/load tutorial v1.0

--------------------

Phase 1: Initialize the memory card
Tools Needed: PSUL v1.1
Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Memory Card
Gamecube Broadband Adapter

Note: If you actually play Phantasy Star Online, you may want to use another memory card for this. Also, you only have to initialize your memory card once, not before each rip or game load.

Step 1: Boot Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Pretty self explanitory.

Step 2: Setup Network Profile

When prompted for the TCP/IP settings, choose manual, do not auto-disconnect, and enter an IP address of 192.168.1.32 with a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.100. For the Primary DNS server, enter 192.168.1.100. Start the PSUL utility on the PC side with the following DOS prompt command: "psul -s". This make your PC into a sort of Phantasy Star Online game server. Now start an online game using the character you chose and the DOL file will upload to your memory card allowing you to transfer game data to and from your PC.

Step 3: Configure TCP/IP on your PC

Access the TCPI/IP properties for the network card on your PC and change the IP address to 192.168.1.100 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. No default gateway is required for this to work.

Step 4: Create a Character for Online Play

Next, create a character. It really doesn't how or which character you choose. When prompted for your hunter's license, enter anything you wish. It also might be handy to select the save password to memory card as well so you don't have to enter it each time.

Step 5: Start it all up

On your PC, run "psul -s" at a DOS prompt. It should then say waiting for connection or someting to that effect. Next, start an online game of Phantasy Star using the character profile you chose. It will then try to connect to your PC. If successful, your PC will display the messages "Saving user info on memory card..." and

"Done..."

--------------------


Phase 2: Extract ISO Image from Game Disc

Tools Needed: Gamecube ISO Ripping Server 1.0.0.29
Download Here: No link currently known
Initialized Memory Card (See Phase 1)
Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Gamecube Broadband Adapter


Step1: Boot Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Pretty self explanatory.

Step 2: Start Gamecube ISO Ripping Server

Run the Gamecube ISO Ripping Server tool on your PC you configured above. Select the destination folder and name for the Gamecube game image file to be created then start the utility. You should get a message stating that it is waiting for a connection.

Step 3: Start Phantasy Star Online game in online mode
Start Phantasy Star Online in online mode. It will connect to the server running on the PC and start downloading the ripper code from it. When this is complete, a red screen will appear on the Gamecube and shortly thereafter, you will be prompted to insert the disc you want to rip within 10 seconds. Do this, and once the 10 seconds has passed, your PC will start downloading the image from the disc. When complete, you should have a game disc image on your PC approximately 1.4GB in size. Approximate download time is about an hour or so.

--------------------

Phase 3: Stream Game Disc Image to Gamecube

Tools Needed: Paradox GC Disc Server
Download Here: http://www.maxconsole.com/?mode=downloads&filter=gc&categoryid=45
Initialized Memory Card (See Phase 1)
Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Gamecube Broadband Adapter

Step 1: Start Paradox GC Disc Server

Start the Paradox GC Disc server on your PC. Select the correct IP address for the Gamecube and the Gamecube disc image file you wish to load. Click start then start an online game in Phantasy Star Online. It should connect to your PC and start executing the game you uploaded.

--------------------

Known Issues:

Remeber you are streaming game data to the Gamecube at 10 Megabits/sec. The broadband adapter is capable of transferring data at 100 Megabits/sec., however, since the good folks at Sega assumed nobody has Internet faster than 10 Megabits, they decided to lock the transfer speed down to that rate. There is currently as of this writing no known fix for this but I hear something is in the works and may be released before Christmas. Games with lots of FMV may run choppy due to peformance issues with the network speed and in-game music is usually affected as well. One fix that helps in some cases is to remove your memory card when you get the group intro press start screen prior to the actual game executing. To save your progress, insert your memory card when you need to save and remove it
when save completes.

Come to think of it, I tried reading a GC disk in my DVD drive before my last format, and reading a simple data cd started taking 3-5 minutes and other slowness ensued. Saw an article on digg about how windows will slow the performance of your drives after 6 errors or so are read. You have to reset the values in the registry to fix it. Article:

http://neodon.blogspot.com/2006/07/little-known-tweak-to-boost-hard-drive.html

If you do manage to rip a GC ISO and need help extracting the goodies, let me know. I had some success ripping stuff out of Sonic Riders a little bit ago, but finding the tools is strangely difficult.

That ripper is very outdated. So is the guide someone else posted. Use GCOM 2.4 instead. http://www.tehskeen.com/modules/Downloads/userfile.php?id=808

It rips discs way faster. I ripped plenty of discs with it, and not a single ISO was corrupt.

Is that the DOS one? Because if it is, then I agree with you, it's a lot better than GC-Tool.

Do you need the Pso and BBA and router or is it put in disk drive and rip?

I've got a broken gamecube (nothing wrong with disk drive), maybe I can make a disk drive that can! I'll look into it.

Hey, speaking of Gamecube ISOs... is it true that the various mod chips available disable the drive's protection to allow loading a DVD by using a debug command in the drive's firmware that was accidentally left enabled, and just modifying the firmware in memory?

I don't know about that, although the GC can load full size disks if you take of the top.

Bottom line, without PSO and a router, you cant rip at all. Your better off searching for ISOs to download from somewhere.
