I hacked my GameCube (actually last week) and neglected to write a thread about it because I was too lazy to make proof. Now that I HAVE proof, here it is: Basically, I had to open it up and solder a mod chip on. I used a qoob PRO: the best one out there. Now I can play burned games. Notice I also changed the case. It is now big enough for full-sized DVDs (and it's clear). I have a burned copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee in it. It doesn't lag at all: plays perfectly. I don't reccomend this, though, unless you can solder and you have a long night ahead of you. I ordered a BBA (broadband adapter) frm Nintendo today so I can actually RIP my games. You can't do that like this; you can only play burned games. (In case you don't know, when I say rip, I mean make an exact copy of the disk compressed into a file.) You also need Nero to do this. (Nero is burning software. Don't think that you can use regular burning software to do this though; you must have Nero for it to be perfect.) Alltogether, I've spent about $155 not counting shipping. Like I said, don't try this at home kids, unless you know what you're doing.

Wow, that's awesome. You could download whatever you want off the internet to play.

I bet you could sell that for ALOT.

I bet you could sell that for ALOT. Yes. Just having someone solder the chip on is $60. If I add $60 to the price if all the hardware, It'd be from $250-$300.

I'm not so smart with all that stuff, but with some of my dad's help I bet I could do that. We have Nero, and he downloads movies and games off the internet sometimes.
(P.s. what's solder?, I feel like an idiot not asking)

Lol! No. I don't have openingdeviceswhenthey'renotevensupposetobephobia. And soldering, I have never done before. But there are plenty of tutorials.

Well, you have the Wii, you can play GCN games on that.

(P.s. what's solder?, I feel like an idiot not asking) It's soft metal that can be used to bridge stuff and connect wires to pins (which you must do).

I can just find it myself if you don't want to go to any trouble. There aren't many good internet tutorials. This is the kind of thing that you need someone to show you. Try YouTube. It's your best bet internet-wise.

You people can actually figure out this kind of thing!?

Uh... yeah. It's much easier than hacking software.
