Some of you might know that you can chip the Gamecube but not to played copied games just Import games from Japan and America.
I don't think you can play copied games on it which means Nintendo won't loose out on piles of money like Sony did as you could Chip the Playstation and play copied games on it. And if you Chip the Gamecube there is a switch to change what type of game it is eg. American or Japanese and I Don't think it messes anything up in the Cube like some chips for the PS did!

hmmm, it looks good, but it's rather largeish compared to the standard cube.

It anyone finds a way of chipping Panasonic's Gamecube, so that it can play UK games and movies then you can get hold of one for £323.64 and in the box you get:-
Panasonic Gamecube
Remote Control
Joypad
Cables
Step-down Converter for Australian and European orders
It is release 14.12.2001, so if they can chip them for compatibly over here then I might get one of those instead!

OK, let's get this sorted... chipping is not JUST to play imports... it's also to play copied games...
In fact the GB did have many copied games on it... carts that often had several games on were sold (and still are) for a few pounds in the East.
And, yes, the GC will be chipped for all territory games. Whether it'll be able to play copied games is slightly less likely due to the small optical discs....
You see, the DC sis not use CD's, so instead the way people got round this was to copy games onto CD's and make the console think it was playing CDs...
With the GC CDs won't fit into the console (from what I understand/have been told by people on SR. Therefore, the only way to copy games is to:
1) Have an external storage medium, which is far too complex for people to be bothered with (like the V64 Doctor)
2) For optical disc writers to become available to the public... if this happened then the whole copying scene would open up... and seeing as the companies who use the disc want it to become a new massmarket medium, this could well happen!

If you read NGC magazine, you'll see a step by step guide on how to change your Japanese GameCube to play Japanese and American games on it.
It's quite possible that the same could be done for UK as well.

Does anyone know if it will be possible to mod an imported 'cube to play PAL games?
Import games always work on gameboys and other handhelds cause there is no PAL or NTSC TV signal required so it can run no trouble at all on any gameboy.
English TVs use PAL signal (Borders around deges of games mainly noticeable on Playstations)
Japanese and America Use NTSC.
In other words the chip tricks the system into thinking its another country computer

Well Sonic, I can not name a console, but I can name a handheld...or two. All of the gameboys never got chipped for import gaming, why?
Well they can play them already :)

QUESTION:
Name a console that has NOT been chipped to play imports after a few months of its life?
If you can name one, its gonna be a pretty unpopular one!

Yeah, there's a switch on the back of mine which alternates between US and JPN territory.
Even the menus are in English too...
