Modchip Viper Gc....oui Mais

tiré du forum Maxconsole

"The Viper GC is STOLEN work from tmbinc.

They took his instructions from the dextrose forums / debugmo.de, replaced the RAM with an FLASH ROM and added some ASIC that no one can copy their chip. Thiefs who are angry that they got burglarized

But now comes the funny part of the story:

These guys have startet a bigger production of their chip, but they don't know that something amazing will hit the gc scene within the next weeks. And this new thing will also be for FREE

Stay tuned and don't waste bucks for stolen stuff when u can get something better for free"

Pour résumer, le modchip viper est en fait basé sur le travail de tmbinc. la deuxième partie est très intéréssante, les gars ont commencé une production industriel du modchip mais, il semblerai qu'une solution de ce type va être proposée, mais sera complétement gratuite, on en saura plus dans les prochaines semaines. Moi je dis que ça vaut le coup d'attendre, est-ce que tmbinc avait une solution sous le coude qu'il avait gardé au chaud et qu'il se décide a dévoilé rien que pour faire chier les gars qui ont piquer sont travail...pas impossible.

Voici la page de sont projet ICI

Carrément pas impossible ...

Wait & See mais je sens ke l'on va se régaler ...

Un truc gratuit... Mouais wait and see...

En fait quand je dis gratuit y'a une erreur , tmbinc va proposer des plans de montage, il donne un ordre de prix de 10$ en composants. Voila le message original complet a traduire.

Tmbinc's New IPL Replacement

posted by malloc at 04:07 pm on 26-11-2004

Quote from tmbinc (GC Dev'r)

I hereby announce that i'll release an improved version of my already-existing IPL emulation stuff this year.

I have nothing to do with the Viper-GC stuff (heck, i didn't even knew until today that such a thing exists).

My IPL replacement will have the following features:

- Boot from network (BBA) in seconds

- Boot from original DVD disc (regionfree, but of course a NTSC cube still can't properly display PAL and vice versa)

- Boot from SD card

- Boot from Memory card

- Boot to original IPL (trivial, really)

- (simple) Serial debug interface! (what i always missed)

It will have 4MB Flash, so you can flash multiple loaders if you like and switch between them.

It can be reflashed either using a parallel adapter or a serial cable (i haven't decided yet, currently both works but serial is slow, but a standard interface), AND it can be flashed directly from the cube! (the other option is simply a recovery mode, which you won't need unless you really mess around).

And it will have some special features which i don't want to announce now. They will be a special surprise

Ok, this all wouldn't be worth a message as it might sound fucking commercial, BUT the best thing comes last:

it's completely FREE! All software will be open sourced, all schematics will be available, all VHDL sources too, and the tools to compile/synthesize will be availabe as well (at least in an evaluation version)!

I hope to get the material costs to about $10, depending on how much i have to pay for the PCBs and CPLDs.

The two prototypes i built were at about $20, but prototype PCBs are always expensive and i bought the CPLDs at reichelt, which are very expensive as well.

I want this project to become a community project, where everybody might help.

I want to help anybody who isn't able to produce the PCBs (or solder them) by himself by producing some board or even pre-mod some GCs, without taking (much) money for this.

We might establish something like they did on the xbox: volunteers mod your gamecubes without taking (much) money.

In this context I want to announce that i'll be holding a lecture at the 21c3 in berlin, germany at the end of this year. I will talk about hacking the gamecube in general, and another well known person will talk about gc-linux. If you have time and/or money, please come and laugh about my english pronounciation.

Ok l'initiative est louable, mais contrairement aux production de masse, ça va en décourager plus d'un le montage a faire

Enfin, une bonne occasion de ressortir mon matos

tmbinc va empecher la production de la viper GC ?

parceque si on a le choix de la fabriquer ou de l'acheter ca serait sympas aussi

Je viens de penser a ca on devra surement devoir la fabriquer car Nintendo n'acceptera pas de la fabrication ils s'y opposeront et malheur a celui qui l'achetera comme pour le Docteur64 les quelque uns qui l'ont eu en france ont eu des emmerdes , y en a meme qui l'avais acheté pour le dev qui avait fait un tour en zonzon pour ça ...
