Why isn't there a pirated community for Gamecube games?

[Looney]

Almost every P2P software you use, or every warez irc channel or website you go to, you'll see Playstation2 and Xbox games ripped and being pirated. But why isn't the same thing done for Gamecube? I'm not too familiar with the GC, but they come on CDs too now, right? I tried doing a google search for this, but all i came up with were junk links to advertisement.

Eeeeew, it smells like lock in here!

Because the only hack is for fantasy star online and it sucks because the ethernet adaptor is locked in 10mbps mode instead of 100mbps so it makes it pretty hard to play the games. The CD technology cannot be copied like other formats.

WTF why? I'm not asking about how to get the software, i'm just wondering why people haven't pirated it yet.

Wow, if the technology is that good, why hasn't Sony and MS used it as well?

Yeah, I know. I think it will be locked, though. I'll bet you a :beer: on it.

It's a proprietary format burned in CAV and has a bardcode that is read on the disc.

because they want their discs in DVD format, which is a standard technology as opposed to nintendo's proprietary format.

Well don't give the mods ideas

It's a horribly shoddy way to play them, and it's not worth the money and moreso a giant waste of time. As I mentioned before the ONLY way to get it to work is to send these images through a hack in Phantasy Star Online and also as I stated earlier, it's locked in 10mbps mode, making it completely useless.
