A game release group has posted
ISO files of GameCube games. The group naming itself "StarCube" has not yet
released playable games, but this should be first step in finding a possibility
to play games distributed over the internet. The ISO files seem for now only to
be available on private FTP sites. GameCube discs are the size of a 8 cm DVD-R
and can contain over a Gigabye of data.
an excerpt from the group's information file on the release: "No, you wont be able to play this game on your GC, at least for now. But we thought software and hardware hackers would be interested in a GC release for various reasons, so here it is. For this first one, we decided to give you a pure disc dump. But on a GC disc, all the space that's not used is filled with random garbage, which is bad for compression. Any upcoming release from us will have that garbage removed. Coders can have a look at the /maps directory, which contains symbols information, pretty useful for reverse engineering. (Many games have such map files)" |
