gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

GCOM was a tool written by softdev which can backup discs with the Nintendo Broadband Adapter (BBA). It is also capable of playing back backed up discs on DVD-R. It is the fastest known tool for backing up over the BBA with speeds of up to 1.8mb/s, dumping a complete game in under 20 minutes.

GCOM 2.3 GCOM 2.4 (Latest Version)

Gcom 2.4 is just for DVD ??? dont exist a "SD" Version ???

Dumps FROM DVD TO PC via Broadband Adapter.

Mission Imposible for me

1 - Dont Cash
2 - In Venezuela dont sell anything of gamecube ( no BBA , no Memory for Gamecube , no Controls of Gamecube , no Wavebirds ) just things for "Wii" compatibles with "Gamecube"

Because of That i can't dump to PC , and where is the source code ???

About another thing , I cant use "SDLoad" in my NGC from my SDAdapter , this is normal ???
After 35 Segs , if i push a button , i see a "Red Screen" with some direcctions , with "DSI Exeption" or "Program Exception" and i should press start to reboot the gamecube

In the readme for 2.4 it says to load the gcom dol file, where do i get the that file? it wasn't in the archive i downloaded.

Run the .exe, it will make a .DOL with your IP baked into it.

does it create the dol somewhere specific? cause it didn't in the folder the exe is in

Edit: could it be because I'm running Windows 7 x64?

run it from command line.

nothing, still the same thing, which is that it flashed a command prompt window for about a second and thats it, no file is created. i can paste what the cmd prompt said when i tried to run it though if you like.

You need to pass 3 parameters to it:

C:\GCOM>gcom24config.exe -pcip 192.168.1.100 -gcip 192.168.1.32 -mask 255.255.255.0

Thanks for choosing GCOM - Enjoy!

C:\GCOM>ls
GCOM24.dol GCOM24.txt gcom24config gcom24config.exe

This is all i got:

Usage : GCOM24Config -pcip 192.168.1.100 -gcip 192.168.1.32 -mask 255.255.255.0

I think you need to learn how to pass parameters to a commandline executable otherwise you'll have major issues!

Read the usage, it's telling you what to do.

but i dont have a dol file so how can i connect gcom to the gamecube?

You are failing to understand the process...

1. use gcom24config.exe which will MAKE a .DOL file with the PC/GC/Subnet IP's hardcoded in the .DOL it produces.
2. Run the DOL it made on the GameCube, follow on screen stuff
3. Connect via HTTP to grab the dump!

Got it, sorry it took me a bit to get it. Thanks for the help =)

I produced the DOL, booted it via Swiss, hit A, put a disc in, then tried to access the HTTP via a browser, and it failed.

It said "can't find internet page".

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I used IPConfig to check my own PC's IP address, so that's correct, but it just won't connect. I also disabled the firewalls.

EDIT:
I then tried WGET to grab the ISO. I also ping'd the IP address, and there's definitely a connection. But WGET said "Read Error (Unknown Error) in Headers"

It tried a few times then quit. What's the problem?
