bbysknnr6 Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 You have to flash the chip with the cobra bios via LPT port on your pc through the adapter sold with it. No need for HD just buy mini dvd-rs or just leave the lid off and use full size dvd-rs for "homebrew software". The soldering is actually pretty easy, large points on the board to solder to. Only one being minorly difficult, a leg of a chip under the heatsink.
NeoMaster Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Man I wish they would just make some 1.5 GB mini discs or something. My cube is full of dust and there seems to be many gc releases (iso wise) lately. I guess the panasonic GC with dvd capabilities will have no problems and probably the best thing to have now that this mod chip is out.
i l l m a t i c Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 gamecube isos are pretty small...maybe cdr backups will be available in the future? does the GC play music cds btw?
Agozer Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) does the GC play music cds btw?Why would it? Take a look at the console again, can you fit a music CD anywhere in there? Well, actually someone modded his GC to play backups by pretty much stripping the CG out of it's shell. Edited January 26, 2005 by Agozer
Wizard Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Theortically, the GC does play dvds and cds, it's just modding the hell out of it to get it work is the hard part.
iq_132 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Sorry to bring this thread up, but does anyone have a reliable site (one they've bought a chip from) that carries the Viper chip?I'm going to buy one, but I want absolute certainty that I won't get scammed.
iq_132 Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I ordered a Viper chip last week. Hopefully it's here soon
Agozer Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I ordered a Viper chip last week. Hopefully it's here soon I hope it has some use to you.
iq_132 Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I'm sure it will be If not, it's still fun to piss off my ISP by downloading 40 or 50 gb of *cough* items *cough*
