Nonsense Man · Post by **Nonsense Man** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 12:11 pm

ok my first questin is
1. would it be possible and legal to copy a ps2 game to a compact disc?
2. is there an adapter to let you use a playstation 2 controller on the gamecube?
3. is there something that lets you play other systems games on the gamecube??
well if you dont know the answer or only half then still post so discuss.

1 and 3 are in the GREY area..i think.

1. It would work if the game is small enough to fit on a CD-ROM. Most PS2 games I've seen are DVD-ROMs. (700 MB vs 4 gigs, you know...) It would only be legal if it was a homebrew game. Either way I think you would need a modchip.

2. I doubt it.

3. I doubt it. Even if there was it would probably be a bunch of ROMs on a recordable disc. (that would also be illegal unless they're homebrews or have otherwise been released by thir copyright holders)

If you want to play PS2 games, just buy a PS2.

Actually the Game store I work at sells PS2 to GC Controller adaptors, but the Button lay out..SUCKS.

they also have XBOX to GC, GC to XBOX, ps2 to XBOX, Xbox to ps2, Gc to PS2...

So it would be ilegal to copy an actual real true PS2 (by true i mean realsed to the public) game but what about real true psone/dreamcast games?

Every Non-Hombrew Factory game, is ILLEGAL.

Oh and Bic how do you know if the game has been released by their copyright holders.
Edit: and Sword Gun what is the gamestore caled that you work and and what company makes the adapters?

you could put a dvd game on a cd, but you have to compress videos, and delete many of them all together, compress textures, It requires some 1337 skillz which you probably don't have, and some less than legal software too, even then you have to have a modchip, or swap magic or something, soo... don't even think about it.

EDIT: How can they have Gc to ps2, or Gc to Xbox? The Gc controller doesn't have enough buttons.

Quite possible actually. I have a PlayStation to N64 adapter, anything is possible.

@Sword_Gun: Since when did adaptors have a button layout?

Basicly what you want is your gamecube to play PS2 games? Not gonna happen. For one the Cube dosn't have the power to play PS2 games as well as PS2 games use a completly diffrent hardware format than Gamecube games. Go buy a PS2, The adapter is gonna be atleast $30 and you can get a PS2 for $130 or a used one for even cheeper. By the time you were able to port one game too the cube (And it would never be the same as on the PS2) you could have mowed lawns and gotten a real PS2.

I think he means that a = designated too x of the playstation controller. or l too l1.

Sorry for that Sword.

W8 did you say plastation too 64 adapter? What's it's name. Maybe if we could modify a gamecube controller too have it's buttons wired too a playstation controller board.

There's no visible name on it, but here's a picture of it:
