Hacking Backup Gamecube games with USB Loader GX?

[HellFireXS]

I know that I cannot PLAY gamecube games with a USB loader, but can USB Loader GX read Gamecube games and back them up? I would like to backup the ones I own to the HDD and then burn them via the created iso.

No, it just comes up as a 0Mb size if you try, and will not proceed.

Ok thanks, I will try to find an alternate way to backup my Gamecube games

Try WiiDump

Try WiiDump

Thank you that one seems to work great, it took about 90 minuted to dump Super Mario Sunshine, I also found one called SuperDump which is said to be fast and work for Gamecube games but I haven't tried it yet.

90 minutes is a joke, use 'img burn', it just took me 6min 43seconds to dump Super Mario Sunshine!

you can't dump on a pc without a 'special' drive, right? or have things changed which makes the above post true?

img burn is kinda dodgy
dont think you need a special drive though.

Is anyone planning on adding support for GameCube games to any USB loader?
I certainly have a lot of GameCube games on my PC but I don't want to buy a ton of DVDs and burn them when I have a external HD for the Wii. :/

Not at the moment, but Configurable USB Loader may add it sometime in the near future. It's one of the most requested features and knowing oggzee, he'll have a lot of time to try and implement it somehow

Try Superdump. It dumps a GC game in about 5 minutes to Fat Partition.

Original gamecube discs can't be read on a PC as they aren't standard.
However burnt gamecube discs are readable on a PC.

thank you

and i thought loading gc games from usb was IMPOSSIBLE

because all the wii hardware (usb ports) turn off/get disabled when it switches over to gc mode.
or do they think it is possible to keep them enabled or something?

Loading gc games via usb loader would be so awesome

than really whats the point of the usb drive sounds no good to me without gc backups working.
