GAMEFREAX (Arakon) escribió:With the Qoob it concerns the "first" NO-Swap chip (viper rausgebracht on weekend under high pressure NO-SWAP bios to run off around the Qoob evenly this rank) for the Gamecube.
The chip is very well finished actually and comes with a Flasherkabel, which had to be bought with viper the extra. The form, the reason for it is remarkable sees one however soon.
The installation is not heavier than with viper, i.e. made with a good soldering point and a calm hand very fast. There is more cables, which is avowed by the "clean" Patchen, the viper overlays the original signal, for which Qoob makes patch it correctly like also TMBincs Homebrew chip it.
Which was noticeable to me directly, is the fact, which the chip is placed right instead of left and substantially more place has and not into the way of the RESET key come there can.
The cable run is better and shorter, the Cube can problem-free be closed. By the ventilation screen through the green LED seems, so which one can examine directly whether the chip functions.
Here the positioning of the Flashers. is extremely practical. instead of on the back with squeezed Flexkabel the Flexkabel completely simply by the existing opening of the serial haven is led (which of Nintendo remained anyway unused), and which can be accommodated Flasher there absolutely invisibly and without load of the cable.
The chip can be already geflasht without inserted to select the Windowssoftware permitted from 15 banks + 1 BIOS bank. Since I have still another test version, unfortunately no guidance is in addition available, like e.g. different programs to be converted must over from the chip to boats. As soon as I know more, in this Thread one adds. Special advantage of the USB Flashens is, which on the one hand some PCS have not times a parallel haven, on the other hand it with that viper by printer haven rather often problems with the chip recognition gave.
After switching on on the Qoob starting screen welcomes us.
In the version 1.0 of the BIOS the options are still relatively limited, which however for a first version is normal. Burned disks boats immediately when switching on, no keys on necessarily. Disks on +r media run, at least with mark which I have, not (viper has the same problem). r media run very well, everything which on the same Cube with viper ran, run also with the Qoob.
Through B key holds the boat menu is called, in which from a list the startable programs can be selected directly on the chip. The announced MP3 Player does not stand for me unfortunately yet for testing for order, in addition, I add later here.
Original disks and the OriginalBIOS can be called by Y and/or X.
Disk Swap with Games with several disks does not fold unfortunately, however still will come. also here has the viper the same restriction.
A function has the Qoob BIOS already, for which with viper is already waited for months: Audio fixed in the BIOS. Plays with incorrect sound (Topgun, draws to Kingdom, Naruto, Alien Homide, etc.) sound marvelously, no "Kreischsound" more, no Patch necessary.
The chip convinces particularly by its comfortable installation and operation, which are momentary BIOS feature still relatively limited, but will be there still much possible owing to for 2 MT of the memory. My result is, by the Cobra BIOS release on Saturday:
Who has still no chip, gets itself the Qoob.
Who has already viper, does not have necessarily to rig, except he has constantly problems with the Flashen.
Who is uncertain, recommends I still something to wait, since I believe, which will have to be found in newer Qoob BIOSen also massively new features.
