Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??
Hi all,
I can't find any place where I can buy a Viper GC Extreme for my new Cube...
I know it's hard to find one these days but let me know if you know a shop
Thanks

Re: Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??
I just ordered one at Konsola.net. It's a shop from poland with low prices.
Viper GC USB: http://www.konsola.net/m/component/page ... Itemid,52/
I just guess it's the EXTREME because normal Viper GC has parallelport (a.k.a. LPT Port) and Viper GC extreme has USB. Shipping costs to Germany (where I live) is quite good. 15PLN + 69PLN for the modchip = 84PLN
In euro it's about 21,50€ - quite cheap!

extreme cause it has 2mb instead of 128kb and a nice blue LED
Re: Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??
and extreme, because it has the extreme advantage that you can flash big plugins to it (like swiss )

Sorry to hijack this topic but I have a Extreme chip but I never played about with flashing the plugins. How do I go about doing it?ct_the_1 wrote:and extreme, because it has the extreme advantage that you can flash big plugins to it (like swiss )
Re: Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??
you can use the supplied .exe. Should come in the Cobra 2.0 or 2.1 pack.

Looks like the site has an English option at the top. When you click on that, there's nothing in the Gamecube section for some reason.andzlay wrote:I just ordered one at Konsola.net. It's a shop from poland with low prices.

Usage:emu_kidid wrote:you can use the supplied .exe. Should come in the Cobra 2.0 or 2.1 pack.
X:\cobra21\Plugins\> CobraPlugin.exe source.dol destination.cbp "Name (16 chars max)"
The destination.cbp will be compressed like with dollz, but be careful, it should not be bigger then 45056 bytes!
You can add it then to the cobra flash file with:
X:\cobra21\Plugins\> copy /b cobra21.vgc+destination.cbp output.vgc
Then you can flash it to the viper chip.

Re: Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??
Thanks! Unfortunately, I ran into ANOTHER problem. I have no Windows XP PC in the house so connecting the Viper Extreme to my Windows 7 results in it not being recognised. Google hasn't helped as all the instructions are for XP.

Re: Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??
if you have windows 7 ultimate or vista ultimate then you can use the xp mode to install a xp version on your pc. there you can install the viper gc modchip and flash it.

I'm sad I try the spanisch shop!Hello.
Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, Vipers GC USB are out of stock now, we have only Vipers GC with LPT adapter on sale. Vipers GC are programmed with GCOS 1.X or Cobra 2.1, also the price is a little bit lower – only 55 PLN instead of 69 PLN. Because your payment is at our Paypal account already, you can cancel your order and we send you back all your money- or we can change this order and we’ll refund you 14 PLN.

Re: Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??

Re: Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??
I have a Viper Extreme and was wondering if anyone else had this problem? The USB adapter goes into the serial port on the bottom of the cube. When I try to flash a program, it goes and then it says it's not responding. It seems that the USB adapter doesn't have a tight fit in the slot. So I found that I can get it to work reliably by pushing on the card at a slight angle to help make better contact.
Has anyone else had this issue? Someone else suggested to me to put some solder on the card contacts to make it a little thicker.

Re: Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??
if you're not using those rubber pads under the usb adapter, the adapter won't be pushed properly into the slot. Or, put some solder, but very lightly.

Re: Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??
I know this is only partially related but I just found a site that sells Viper GC's (NOT Extremes) for $29.99
http://www.consolesource.com/ecomm/cata ... -2125.html
Never ordered from them / Checked any further details though. Just thought I'd share.

Re: Where to buy a ViperGC EXtreme modchip??
How funny I found that website today too. But normal ViperGC is not mighty as the extreme. More space for homebrew tools = more fun.
