But on the subject of pirating. Oh well, the games that are working aren't much anyways. If you must play Luigi's Mansion desperately for some reason, then this might fit your fancy. Animal Crossing is a good game they chose to hack. I wonder how well the emulator emulates the games. I mean, I have yet to see a near perfect emulator for the '64 so I have to wonder what the graphical quality of the games are.
You can get 8cm DVD's at nearly every online electronics store, and they are all over the place in Japan (where 8cm DVD's and CD's are the norm for Digital Camera and Digital Camcorder storage).

Of course, you should buy them in bulk, but the way the few hacks are working for GCN now, you won't even need them.

What's G4?
Oh well, Cube piracy had to happen one day... and like people said, it's not THAT bad. Not 1/10 as bad as with the PSX. :eek:

There are mini-dvds, but they are only similiar to GODs in their size, and that they are both forms of DVDs. Simply putting the game on a mini-dvd wont work. You have to mod the cube to a totaly different system.

Right. At this point, there isn't any way to burn the discs.

What they're doing at this point is ripping GC games to a computer and streaming it to the GC through the Broadband adapter. Inconvenient, but functional.

Not to mention, a waste of time. :P

If they can burn discs, then it's going to be a threat..

the only fake bootlegged games i am using are DC games since they consolde is dead and it is almost impossible to find. and it is very easy to make bootlegged for DC you d/l the file and burn it to a Cd-R using a speical burning program and it will work perfectly.
