GCOM

[emu_kidid]

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.

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.

[emu_kidid]

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

[Ikthias]

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?

[emu_kidid]

run it from command line.

[Ikthias]

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

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.

[Ikthias]

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

[emu_kidid]

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!

[Ikthias]

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?
