  1. ocassionally Ninty do release in the UK first (well Europe) e.g. Mario Kart DD... although it was by about 3 days or something... :S I'm sorry but that does not let NTSC gamers feel our pain! :(

     

    Anyone remember 1080 on N64?... Held back a YEAR for PAL gamers because it took to long to release it that "snowboarding season" was over... right.... >.>

     

    Anyway I was meaning a mod to play PAL/NTSC since I'm a PAL gamer.

     

    I take it there is no US version of the freeloader to play PAL imports?

     

    Mind you, why would you want to play PAL games when they are released in the states first? I have the opposite problem living in the UK, lol

     

    No... most people in the US don't even have PAL capability on their TVs from what I can gather from a friend...

  2. One solution, buy your Gamecube games!

    :lol: Are you saying that I don't? I have two GC isos that I don't own the originals for, and those are 18 wheeler and Animal Crossing.

    The former I am yet to play and the latter will probably never be released in the UK so unless they do release it officially here I can't buy it and I ain't importing!

     

    And I think the tape idea has been tried and it still checks for the barcode...

  3. I have this problem every no and again. What I do is this:

    • Try and SHIFT-DELETE the file
    • Check the folder properties and see if it is read only
    • Disable the read only property
    • Try again to delete file
    • Failing that I load up WinUAE into workbench, with PC drives added and try and delete the file from the Amiga emulation (It is less fussy if something else is using the file)
    • Failing That, I reboot and being up the startup menu (F5 on my machine), and boot into "safe mode with prompt"... it's called something like that anyway. Delete the file using your dos commands

    These being:

    X: - X is the letter of a drive C: is usually your main HDD

    cd\ - Go to the base folder of a drive

    cd [foldername\foldername\foldername] - navigate to a folder

    dir - List the contents of a folder

    dir /w - lists contents of a folder with a wide view

    dir /p - lists folder contents in steps... press a key to view next

    del [filename] - deletes a file

     

     

    And if you still can't delete the bugger after that... then call in the exorcist to free your pc of demons...

  4. The main problem with the Q is that in essence it uses exactly the same hardware as a standard cube... Including the DVD drive controller, which tells it to check a disc for the barcode before it will do anything with it.

    DVD and audio cds are handled independantly from game discs. Someone would still have to figure out how to either hack the firmware or the hardware of the DVD controller in order to read backup discs.

     

    The only really benefit of doing this on a Q is the fact that you have a full sized drive, so you could write to a normal sized DVD+/-R. This is pointless though since you CAN get mini DVD+/-Rs... It's also pointless since we can't currently play backups by this method :-D
