how can i rip a gamecube game a into .gcm file?

[hagbard]

Is a command line utility used to upload/stream ISO (GCM, GC game images) and DOL (GC executables) files from PC to GC. Easy to find with a google search, anyway get it here, files section

so i bought a scratchy copy of windwaker from gamestop ( i hate gs ) anyway i had to clean it with my scratch removal kit to get it to play since it didnt work at first. so anyway im kinda worried about how long it will surive (im a collector and right now i want a the full zelda anthology) so i was wondering if i could get a mini disk and copy the iso of windwaker to it. i guess would a normal minidisk have enough space to hold the game. also can the gamecube read generic disks? (i know the xbox cant)

I think you mean 8 cm Mini-DVD. Yes, but the GC it's a bit choosy about brands, only a few would work depending on your DVD burner too, and supposing you can to load it via soft or hard mod. Do you want further info? Take a look here

Thanks for the link, hagbard! I just bought myself a Broadband adapter. Now just a crossover UTP cable and PS1&2 and I'm set

^what he said. thanx haggy. (that twilight princess beta iso shown in the burning images tut looks tasty)

[hagbard]

Looks to be a joke, anyway I recommend using ImgBurn for burning GCM (and every DVD) images, it supports the non standard GC disc format and works perfectly.

okay now i have a gcm file but its 1.5GB!!
so if i have a gcm file on my cp i can play the game whit the emulator?
or do i have to do something else? because my emulator cant open it no error its just idling.

There are no working GameCube emulators out. You better wait another few years

[animus]

are you joking?

[alcoatjez]

are you joking?

Nope, all emulators are still in an early stage. Only very simple games, like Bust-A-Move or Pokemon Puzzle League are playable.
