i dont have the money right now to buy a BBA. I need to know if you can use the serial port. i hear it is a really slow port. well i dont care. i have a computer that i can leave on for a month if it really needs that long. i know that you could rip dreamcast games throught the serial port so i think that you can with the gamecube. i figure that i might need to make cable or something and possibly an isa card for my comp. this is no problem for me. i just want something to do. i have like 20 games for the gamecube and i'm dying to see if i can get em to work on pc. i dont want to go into the whole illegal scene and download em. so i am just trying to do this the legitament way. so please give me a hand.
