Well they said it wouldn't happen due to the fact Nintendo use mini DVD disk thingimies!
Well you may have noticed they picked the size disk which is becomming the new midi disk sized cd's.
You can buy 8cm cd's at the mo, and burn music to em and play em in a diskman thing.
But the Gamecube uses DVD's you all say!
Check this then :-

So how long till Gamecube games are being pirated then?

I know that only to well no one is sugesting it is uncrackable just that it is almost impossible. I though the Qcube uses two lenses one for dvd one for games ?

Davyboy, this is the last time I'm going to say it nicely...
The fact that it used a propietry format is of no relevence! The DC used GigabyteDiscs (GDs) that you can't buy anywhere- only Sega used them.
I made a list below of EXACTLY HOW TO PIRATE GC GAMES! Go and read it... that's exactly how the format will be pirated before long. Sega thought that DC games could never be copied because you can't buy GDs anywhere... in the end pirates just created a way for the console to read games of CDs.
Likewise, to crack the GC all you need to do is take the output from the boot sequence, and get the bit that checks the disc type. Then make a chip to intercept this and allow games to be read off small DVDs. Considering that pirates earn more than some game publishers in the East they can easily do all this!
The ONLY problem may be that standard cubes cannot physically read non-GC discs. However, it's easy enough to crack the Qcube, which is the more popular of the 2 models anyway.

Sonic
SEGA said that DC games would never ever be copied but they were wrong
having read a guide on how to do it on a website i gave it a try after buying the relevent cables and downloading the right software
it took 5 hours to copy my sonic adventure and ripping stuff ftom it but it finally worked
so if SEGAs dreamcast got pirated then whats to stop pirates with the Gamecube
piracy is wrong and will be a shame to see GC go down this path

That 'Galleon' game has pirates in it though...
Bet it doesn't have any treasure maps though... :(

Nope I don't think there's any Pirate games coming out for Cube, there should be though they would rule.
*knows that was a crap joke and runs*
