I like your code though. Is that an existing programming language?
Noooooo damn you, differentiated systems!
It's based on the language used by Game Maker, GML (Game Maker Language), which is, I think, based on the C languages.

Its ok, Shrooblord.

If the drawing commissions go fine in the remaining months of this year, I might buy the game this Christmas.

The only Zelda games included in this promotion were Zelda 1 and 2 for NES and Zelda Minish Cap for GBA. Link To The Past was not included sadly, but it has a GBA remake.

I'm assuming you want a legit copy, not a burnt disc?

Can unmodified Gamecubes natively read burnt discs?

Or are we talking hacked GC here?

I don't think GameCubes have locks like that... do they?

I don't know. Googling didn't turn up anything either.
However, seeing how GameCube discs are a lot smaller than normal CDs, I think that a game that is burnt on a normal disc wouldn't even fit :P

GameCube discs are just burnt onto mini CDs. They can be bough at virtually any department or electronics store. Mind you, Nintendo's mini CDs are made in-house, but regular ones still work.

Yeah.
I also just read that the GC discs are encrypted in such a way that the GameCube itself is literally the only thing that can read them (so when you're going to rip the ISO, you have to use the GC as the disc drive hooked up to a PC (and that is only possible via some game exploit))
Nintendo thought that out pretty well :)

The only system that I have "copied games" for is the GBA. With other systems, I think it is a little too risky to mod them (especially Wii and 3DS, seeing how those things are connected to the internet 24/7)

There's no way they'd be telling ol' Nintendo about you having a fake game or not. The whole deal is exactly that your system thinks it's got a legit copy, else it wouldn't work. And even if they were reporting it to Ninny, the cops wouldn't come looking for you until you exploit like say thousands of your currency. It's illegal to copy games, sure, but they wouldn't bother trying to bust every little piracy in the act - that would for one fill up the prisons with more people than could ever fit in, even if the rest of the world was slave-laboured into building more prisons, and it would be a waste of time and effort. There's bigger criminals to catch and worse things to penalise. Also, if you're really bothered about it, you could always turn your wireless communications off when playing like a pirate, though I guess the ultimate work-around is indeed to just play it safe and buy it legal. But seriously, the authorities won't come knocking on your door for a few pirated games. I'm sure of that; the majority of this community wouldn't even be here if that were the case.

And I still find it curious how a glitch in a game could cause you to be able to start ripping other games. Even more curious, I find, is how anyone managed to find this out!

I mainly aimed that comment at the necessity to downgrade your system firmware if you would be going to use pirated software, effectively disabling you to play online. (But that is only a point of concern for the Wii, since there are no real 3DS flash carts yet.) Well, that is what I gathered; When we borrowed a hacked Wii from the neighbours for a short time, they told us stuff about downgrading.
Them old pirates might have found another workaround for the downgrading issue by now though, rendering my rant kid of absolutely invalid :O

Just playing Minecraft, because I need to think what game should I get next. Recently I've been interested in Psychonauts. It seems like an interesting game, eh?
