I was Wondering if there is a way I can rip my Original Gamecube discs, Into an Image to use With the gamecube Emulator Dolphin v1.02, Other Than Hooking my gamecube Up to my pc, via a broadband adapter?

Is There any CD/DVD-Rom or Rewritable drive, or Program that can read Gamecube Mini DVD's So I can make an Image of them?

I am Asking because, I don't have the broadband adapter, nor the tools to rip the image Via Broadband adapter, with the gamecube hooked up to my PC.

I've Looked For the broadband adapter, and can't find it, not even at my local gameshop, such as EB Games, and I don't Trust Shopping Online, I like Purchasing from a Retailer.

IS There a way to rip my original Gamecube Games, or Use Gamecube games with the Emulator Dolphin, without having to Purchase additional tools to be able to do this, or go through the Unecessary Hassle?

If you can help me out, I would really appreciate it, and yes I own a gamecube, I can even Post Pictures of it in my house, if you don't believe me, Not to mention, even the word Piracy make's me cringe, as I am higly against Piracy, So I can assure you that I own a gamecube, and My games are 100% Original.

Thanks a bunch if you can help me, and sorry if I sound like a noob, I have Just been really tired lately, and the ol' ticker upstairs(my brain) hasn't been able to keep up with me, because of being hyper-active

The only drive that can read a GC disc is a GC. If you don't have the BBA (broadband adapter), you should consider getting one if you plan to backup your games. Also, you'll need Phantasy Star Online.

If you do decide to use that method, here is a guide to do so. I've never tried it, but it looks like it would work.

Thanks a bunch for the quick reply, I guess I'll consider investing in a broadband adapter, I'll have to check back at EB Games every now and then.

Btw I've almost had success with one of my gamecube disc's. I placed it in My Sony Dual Layer DVD-RW, and started Up Alcohol 120%, Alcohol Detects the Disc, and the Size of it, but when I try to rip it, I get read error's, More what I call limited success

Hmmm....I'll need to check that out.

I've seen this method done and it works great, however the copy of phatasy star online can be hard to track down.
