GameCube Games?

Alright, So I searched online a bit and found out you can download gamecube games.
I've found torturials on how to download the things needed to be able to download the games itself.
But do you need something like an R4 to get the actual games onto your gamecube?
How are you able to download, and play these games?
Please help me!! All info. you have is great!!
Even about what you need to download, to get the games.

 

Well, you can either burn the games to mini DVDs and play them in a modded GC, or just download them and play them on your PC with an emulator (Dolphin), but you have to have a good enough PC to handle that.

 

Or if you have a Wii, you can soft-mod it and play them from there.

You can burn them to a DVD-R just like a Wii game.

 

We have a nice selection of Game Cube games here for download https://www.romulation.org/GameCube/

Fred and Ace has already answered with the options available for playing the games.

I suggest ImgBurn at X4 speed if you burn them off to DVD/Mini DVDs

 

SO i can just insert the mini DVD and download the rom from this website, and just burn the game onto the disk after i extract the files and all of that?
Would that work?
And do I have to modify my gamecube, and how?
It's just a regular store-bought Canadian Gamecube. English what ever...

 

You can burn them. Some games cubes aren't .ISO files. Just change the extension from .GCM to .ISO.
Then burn it to a DVD-R (mini if you want) with ImgBurn at 4x speed.

You can get a chip to play the games, but I have no clue about other methods on GC.

 

So.. I'm still a bit confused here.
I'm not that much of a tech, but is there or tutorial that you could link me to, to help me understand exactly how to burn them..
I understand the process of download off this website, and such. Extracting files and things, but how exactly to burn it onto the Mini DVD.
B/c i will be going with the Mini DVD method.

 

Just the same as Wii games.

 

Alright.
One last thing. i don't mind, burning the game's or buying the disk's.
But I don't have any kind of special burner. The only way I can burn, is from my actual computer. I stick a disk in, and burn it off. i was wodering, if I could burn on the Mini disk's even on my regular computer.
(Which is updated, and such)

 

As long as you can burn a DVD-R disc, then you can burn to a DVD-R Mini Disc. :3

 

What is a DVD-R disk?

 

The thing you burn data files or movie DVDs to.

They are essential for Wii Pirates or 360 Pirates. Which I am both.

Alright.. so i just stick the mini dvd disk, into my computer - as if i was putting in a computer game, in that slot - and then i can burn.. on it for sure?

 

Well, do you have a drive that says DVD-R Recorder or burner or something on the front?

 

On the first top, disk inserter it says
"52X MAX" and then the little LG icon.
then on the second disk inserter it says
"Compact Disk - Re Writable"
" DVD"
"RW - DVD ReWriter"

 

Hmm....

Not sure if it's a DVD burner or not... =\

Go to Start
Control Panel
System
Hardware Tab
Click Device Manager
Then Look for DVD/CD-ROM Drives
Then tell me what the two drives are.

Mine are:
ATAPI DVD A DH20A4P
LITEON DVD-ROM LTD163

 

Yeah.
My top drive is a DVD-Multi Recorder. It burns every type of DVD.
The second is just a DVD-ROM drive yes.
Great setup for copying movie discs fast.

 

I love how you guys avoid answering the important bits.

ANYWOO...your going to need a modchip installed into your gamecube click here or some examples -> http://www.mod-chip.com/gamecube.html there are others out there just have to look for them (google), and if you really want to travel this route I would suggest searching out someone in your area that can install them for you, as they are touchy and you could mess up your console and you'll be out all together.

or better yet get a Wii.

 

Alright, I found it.
Mine are;
HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR-5823B
SONY DVD RW DW-D22A
