| Summary: Viper GC is the new homebrew modchip for the Nintendo Gamecube, and it's debut is heating up the Gamecube hacking scene. | ||||||||||||||
| Full News Story: Nintendo Gamecube fans have been waiting a long time for a proper Gamecube modchip, and today we finally got news that a prototype is ready, and on the way. Viper GC is called an "amateur coding module" for the Nintendo Gamecube. The onboard flash memory allows users to boot Homebrew applications, loaders or BIOS'. A high speed parallel port programmer is provided along with the FFC cable to connect to the Viper GC main module. A PC application makes it easy to transfer BIOS files, loaders or Homebrew applications to the flash memory. This chip sounds a lot like modern Xbox modchips. Viper Gc is based around the Actel ProAsic Plus FPGA, providing flexibility and security to ensure that the user gets the product they ordered, not a cheap clone. The viper GC's tailored PC application will enable users to transfer code via their PC Parallel port to the module's flash memory. We're sure that the recent Homebrew developments (like GC-Linux) on GC will take advantage of the Viper GC's ability to run code directly from flash memory, instead of the current BroadBand Adaptor/Phantasy Star Online + Loader solution, leading to rapid development of the GC Scene. The Viper GC has just 4 wires to solder and two connectors which could assume control of the lid sensor switch, should the appropriate commands be included in a third party BIOS release. Viper GC is more than a BIOS replacement, it offers the unique possibility through special hardware commands, to run the original BIOS after the user's loader or Homebrew BIOS has been executed. It's unclear whether this chip will let people copy and backup Nintendo Gamecube games, but with proper software coding it should be possible. This is great news for Nintendo hacking scene fans. I don't own a Gamecube yet, but I will. When this modchip hits the street, I'll definitely buy one. UPDATE: The Viper GC is now available from Divineo Mods, my personal favorite modchip retailer. |
