No, X-Box games are being pirated as well. You need a special DVD burner to burn X-Box games (or at least special software) because it burns from the outside of the disk to the inside (usually the opposite). And PS2 games... Well... Sony didn't do much to stop that.

GameMaster: They shouldn't. There isn't any GC emulator written yet (at least not a public one). I know there are some PS2 and X-Box ones in the beta stages (alpha for X-Box), but none for GC...

AGG! And now they added Wave Race: Blue Storm just in the last 5 minutes...

I don't know.. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I mean, piracy can only help the Gamecube. Hasn't really slowed GBA, PS2, or Xbox down.

Xbox and PS2 pritating is in full swing. Now, pirated disc, I doubt it. You can copy the disc but it will be a read error when you play it back. Emulator maybe. I heard there was a bug on PSO that somehow allowed emulated games through the comp, but your still paying for it technically. I think there is a GC emulator out there called Dolphin, but Ive never actually heard that its real.

It is a fact that homebrew software, and even games can be run via the PSO boot-sector glitch.

The only downside to this is, you must limit the homebrew to 900k (since that's the amount of data left in the RAM while the game is running), and somehow make your own core OS for the pirated discs to play on.

So yes, it's still technically impossible to directly play a GCN backup without seriously rerouting the entire setup to be a PC of sorts...but I guess studying the system's ISO's doesn't hurt.

Personally, I find it pretty much fruitless to emu or hack GCN games, especially with the prices so low nowadays (especially in comparision to the same Xbox and PS2 third party titles).

Jeff it is happening to the xbox. remember me asking if you wanted to have yor xbox modded and then showing you a website that allows you to do it and shows you how. (not saying that I do it) But there is so much modding going on with each console that every game can be stolen and downloaded.

i am a pirate sometimes but only on programs, not on games.
i just have all my games on virtual drives on my PC and i have not played my gaming system in a good while i guess i dont want to play any games until FFXI.
