esoteric Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 has any one tried that pso trick on GC where you do some stuff with pso and you can play downloaded GC images?

jeffkong Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 What's the GameCube PSO Trick? And does PSO stand for Phantasy Star Online Episode 1&2, Phantasy Star Online Episode 3, or something else.
sp1200 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 PSO 1 and 2. 3 has been fixed so the exploit wont work... at least for now.
Shibathedog Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 hehe, once they DO figure out how to do it with 3 it will work better because its not a 10MBPS limit on that one
sp1200 Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 you can reset the bba to 100mbit already, thats not the bottleneck, most suggest its the loader that is poorly streaming...
PokeParadox Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 the bottleneck is on the expansion port... if you get the the BBA to use it's full bandwidth of 100Mb, you will still only reach 27Mb in reality. Although the loaders are also currently a bit sloppy in how the stream the data to the GC...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 If only someone could make a mod-chip for the Panasonic Q, then maybe people could finally play their backups. I don't know about the generic GameCube, but the Q definitely can play DVDs and if someone can figure a way to load games off CD/DVDs then that'd add a whole new dimension to GC piracy, er... I mean backups. Yeah, that's the ticket.
PokeParadox Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 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
StriderSkorpion Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 All you'd have to do is either hack the bios or get a mod-chip circumvent the check. Unfortunately, no one's done it yet. If the GC itself can read DVDs, then that method would work too. If someone created a loader, though, you could put several GC games on one regular DVD-/+R which would be great.
