FAQ: Modifying Your GameCube
There are few areas in the hacking community more firmly in the legal grey area than console modification, and there are few topics that carry with it nearly so much interest from the average gamer. You’ve probably heard of it. Playstation 2 and Xbox owners do it from time to time, but what about GameCube owners? This FAQ is for anyone that’s curious about the process of modifying your GameCube: why to do it, legal questions, and whether or not it’s worth the trouble. Mentioning the existence of system modding too frequently is a speedy way for media types like myself to get blacklisted by pretty much every major game publisher in the industry, so we’re not going to touch on the details of how it’s done, or even point you in the direction to figure it out yourself.
Instead, this FAQ is designed to answer your general questions about modding a system, because whether or not publishers like the practice, it doesn’t help to deny it exists.
