gamecube game disc read from dvd drive?

Post by franpa »

is it possible to read the contents of a gamecube disc? i want to get the music files off the smash bros. melee disc :P but windows reports there being no disc inserted :p

so er, is it possible and if yes then how? (if you can't then what was the point in someone making in_cube plugin for winamp?)

using a certain dvd rom and a certain program, it is possible to dump gc games to an iso file. what you do with it from there is unbeknownst to me. takes a little more than an hour.

well I don't know if there's programs out there that can even extract files out of the iso, let alone decode it to say a wav file and whatnot. I dunno, look around on google for gc audio programs.

I was just saying it takes a certain program (rawdump 2.0) to read the disc backwards, which it will only do with a limited amount of LG drives, and get the disc on your hard drive. I would bet the music files are made from some software audio mixer, so long story short for you, I'd say no.

It is pretty simple actually. Two options:

1. This is the one I use. You need a broadband adapter and a method to run homebrew code, i.e. a modchip, PSO, or an Action Replay that has the memory card hack set up already. Then you need a gc program called GCOM, follow the directions and download the game to your computer, then use a program called GC-Tool to extract the files. Then you use the in_cube plugin you were talking about to listen to the files.

2. A little easier, but you need a specific DVD drive. Not sure on the exact model, but it is an LG DVD reader only, I think there may be two that work. Then you use a program called rawdump, which can be used to dump Wii games and GC games the same way. From there you may need to unscramble the dump, not sure if the latest version changed this or not. If so, you need a program called unscrambler. These two tools are much easier to find if you search for Wii disc dumping, although they work with GC games too. Then you follow the steps from the first example starting with GC-Tool.

Googling should get you the tools you need, read the documentation of rawdump for the model of DVD driev you need.
