More dam Playstation culture heads the Wii's way. (Mod chips)

Yep, easily disproved. It's nothing but an urban myth... any GC owner can open up the CD cover and see the disc still spinning the right way round. Have done it myself.

It would only be the laser unit that moved in a different direction wouldn't it, not the disc itself?
 
To add insult to injury, the PS3 is rumoured to be done now too with a bootloader, the same way the PSP loaded iso's.

Every console gets done - I find though any time ive succumbed in the past, its instantly ruined that console for me, the dreamcast being the prime example.

Can't read xbox games in a computer, still just standard DVD's though.

I thought gamecube could run games off a standard DVD? i am sure i seen a casemod to allow you to fit normal sized DVD's on a cube??

And i had an old BBC micro with hacked software on it. It was copied ROM chips soldered into the machine aswell. for like word processing programs and stuff
 
It's possible to allow a standed size DVD in a GC, however you could just use a mini-DVD anyway since the games fit on them.

As for the Xbox discs, they don't work due to security sectors. There is a way of reading them though.

Did for me too, if I didnt like a game in 5 minutes I put in the next one. I used to buy PS1 games in big batches and rarely played any past half hour.
 
You apprieate the few games you have rather than take on 100's

I have about 70 PS2 games, I play about half but some of them I wonder why I still have. I try and go through them all one by one though.

I have about 4 360 games that get battered and well played. :)
 
What's the point of getting copied cube games when you can buy for a couple of pound anyway. All my Wii and Cube games are original. I have to own the cases and more importantly the manuals even though I never read them.

Well there would have been a point when they were still full price ;)

Yeah, I remember you having a nervous breakdown upon seeing a CD lying on a manual :p

Same here, once I have a stack of games to play I generally don't play any of them.

I find it hard to motivate myself to play a game unless I have paid for it. That's why I tend not to borrow games off people (or pirate them of course).

But surely the laser simply moves inwards and outwards...? Admittedly I didn't check this when I wanted to see which way the disc spins, and I'm on my hols in the south of France at the mo so can't check until I get back to Blighty.
 
yes it does. all you have to do is reverse the order of the data on the disk. so that track 1 starts on the outside instead of the inside. then the laser will track outside > inside instead of visa versa, basically.
 
GC modable but requires some mincing about.

why not just buy the games?

GC games are still bloody expensive - go down the highstreet and tell me how much a copy of the decent games are, Resi4, Pokemon XD, etc...

all £30+ last time i checked, thats more per game than the console itself!
