gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

I have not seen it mentioned anywhere on the net, so I figured I'd mention it here. Everyone and their cousin know about the Gamecube menu being a slowed down version of the Famicom Disk System Boot Jingle, but I found something interesting while playing around with disc drive lid. The logo is removable by pressing the clips inside the lid (nothing special there), and underneath it I noticed that it was keyed, and so was the Logo... Now where have I seen this before.....

Thats right... the FDS Disks were keyed in the same fashion!



The pattern is a little different, but I believe it pays homage to the FDS Disks.


I thought it was worth mentioning, has anyone noticed it before?

And why does the other side have so much care taken in its make up.

Reading right to left (ie the correct way when viewing) of above image in morse coding.

dot dot dash dot - break = F

dash dot dot - break = D

Unfortuatly the last characrer does not quite work out should be

dot dot dot = S

Could it be some kind of Wabun code ?

But i can't figure out the meaning.
And i can't read the same as you on the picture. i'm OK for the first word (reading right to left)

but after i can't read the same as you. Well, i can't read anything clear although...

Thx for adding the lid pic, it was late at night and I didn't have my camera on hand. That's pretty awesome, I didn't even think to look for Morse code!
