New Gamecube Modchip!!! Viper GC

[versapak]

Not to turn this into a GameCube fanboy thread, but I see the GameCube similarly to the Dreamcast. The console is cheaper than PS2/Xbox. The games are cheaper than PS2/Xbox. The GC has progressive output for almost every game (sorry PS2 you suck in this department!). Playing a GC inside my cab with Betson Imperial 27" at 480p is really sweet.

On a side note, if anyone has a GC, I totally recommend grabbing Mr Driller Land (import) along with FreeLoader. Very high production values...probably the best soundtrack I've ever herd in a game period. Plus is plays great in a cab

Horrible comparison.


The DC was great games galore. The GC is great games on one hand (after a firecracker mishap).

Re-read my post, I state the similarity to dreamcast in terms of features and price (when compared to PS2/Xbox)...NOT the selection/variety of games.  Duh!  Of course DC has better arcade/port games.

1) You could burn miniDVD's or use full-sized DVD's by leaving the Gamecube case off. There are third-party companies developing new cases for the GC that will allow full-size DVD's.
2) Yes.
3) No. Unless someone developes a Mame emu for use on the GC. Which isn't likely to happen as the userbase for GC is small.

let us knwo when you hear anything new about those case mods that allow full size DVD's.

Some people are adjusting their lazer so more Mini-dvd-r's work but DVD-rs are just cheaper in teh long run
