| QUOTE (Techokami @ Jun 7 2008, 03:30 PM) | | Well, you're trying to get the wrong format of data from the disk. Gamecube disks do NOT use the ISO standard. Instead they use the GCM (GameCube Media) format. It is a format your DVD-ROM drive will not be able to understand. |
pretty much this. first of all, terminology: I believe GCM stands for Gamecube Master, as in the "master tape" for the game itself. that's what I've seen used internally at nintendo. second of all, it's not just the filesystem used; the optical media itself is encrypted. a Gamecube Optical Disc (GOD) is similar to a 8cm DVD, with the exception that some (cryptographically insecure, but that's not so relevant here) cryptography is used to render the data useless, and a non-standard sector format that's incompatible with UDF is used to obscure the data from most standard optical drives. without low-level access to the drive hardware to account for these things, the easiest way to get to the data on these discs is to simply use the Gamecube's optical drive itself, by sending a small program to read the disc and send it to your computer over the network.
