Read (and laugh) :D


[00:09] <rhasan> can anyone confirm this news?
[00:09] <rhasan> http://www.emuboards.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?s=3d34981c6271ffff;act=ST;f=7;t=549;st=0
[00:10] <Guyfawkes> dunno
[00:10] <rhasan> maybe I'm just pessimstic but...I say it's bovine feces
[00:11] <rhasan> Nintendo would never allow that.
[00:12] <rhasan> especially by a company that is supposed to be working for/with them.
[00:12] <rhasan> nevermind that fact that they'll need a writer for it.
[00:12] <rhasan> just seems impractical.
[00:13] <rhasan> but what do I know.
[00:15] <Guyfawkes> lyonhrt you here?


Quickly, Redah's brain thinks of the answer to this puzzle


[00:15] <Redah> "Nintendo will also provide a 500-kbyte proprietary Digicard, and the cube WILL ALSO SUPPORT Digital flash cards through a Digicard-shaped adaptor"
[00:15] <Redah> i think they're confused with the memory card adapter
[00:15] <Redah> where you can use them flashcards in
[00:15] <rhasan> yeah that's why I ask for source of this news
[00:16] <Redah> i don't see anything special or new
[00:16] <Redah> ROM discs
[00:16] <Redah> Read Only
[00:16] <Redah> that's what we already have
[00:16] <Redah> and that flash thing is just the memory thing
[00:17] <rhasan> ah
[00:17] <Redah> at least that's how i interpret it
[00:18] <Redah> it's a ROM disc for game distribution
[00:18] <Redah> so... ?
[00:18] <Redah> that's exactly what you put in your GC now
[00:18] <Redah> a 1.5GB propie*something ROM disc that resembles but is not a DVD :)
[00:19] * Redah confirms the 'news'


A while later, the poster posts his source


[00:25] <Redah> roflmao
[00:25] <Redah> his source
[00:25] <Redah> http://www.eet.com/story/OEG20000825S0054
[00:25] <Redah> "Nintendo unveils next-generation game console
[00:25] <Redah> By Yoshiko Hara
[00:25] <Redah>
[00:25] <Redah> EE Times
[00:25] <Redah> August 25, 2000 (3:40 p.m. EST) "
[00:26] <Guyfawkes> heh


But some people are just slow... :)


[00:28] <rhasan> so it's fake?
[00:29] <Redah> no
[00:29] <Redah> it's true
[00:29] <Redah> but it's nothing special
[00:29] <rhasan> it's the GameCube?
[00:29] <Redah> read his source
[00:29] <rhasan> this story is from August 2000!
[00:29] <Redah> exactly
[00:29] <Redah> and like i said, the flash thing = memory adapters
[00:29] <Redah> has NOTHING to do with backing up of any kind
[00:30] <rhasan> sigh
[00:30] <Redah> and a ROM disc, is the little disc you put in your GC... also, nothing to do with backup or ROMZ
[00:30] <Redah> like a CD-ROM :)


There you have it. GAMECUBE BACKUP IS TRUE! IT WAS TOLD IN 2000 !!!

Um, they ain't happening. :p

The point of the thread was to laugh at people who thought they are!

I prey, not pray.
/me laughs his ass off

what GC game is worth pirating? :D

Seriously though, you would be surprised what techniques people can come up with. Never underestimate the bond between a china man and his desire for free software!

I hope that Gamecube games are not copied for a long time yet - but sooner or later the Pirates will devise a system that enables them to be copied.
