Gamecube Disc questions

[Marioman17]

I have a few questions about Gamecube discs.

1) Does anyone know an easy way to remove labels from Gamecube discs without damaging them?

2) Does anyone know how to make custom Gamecube disc labels?

3) If I have an empty disc the size required for a Gamecube, will I be able to burn a rom onto it? (The size both physically and the amount of memory it has)

4) Is there a way I can modify a rom to use controls of a Gamecube controller when I do burn it onto a playable disc?

**I have Googled each of these questions, and have found nothing about what I am looking for. I am aware the Gamecube has emulators, but I would like to see what it would take to make a physical copy of roms.**

1) No.

2) Sticky CD labels

3) You need a mod chip

4) The emulator would be automatically configured.

Thanks for the responses. I'll have to look into more information on emulators.

One last question, (again, this is before I look into emulators) is there a way I can just pull out what is needed for controller modification and apply it to a rom?

What I mean is, I plan on taking roms not from Gamecube, such as NES, SNES, even GBA. (Yes, I have the GameBoy Player)
Sorry for not clarifying.

Wait, you want to play emulators on the GCN?  I wouldn't bother.  There are other systems that do it a lot better (if the GCN can even do so).

just buy a Wii with the gamecube ports and get it the homebrew channel and install the right mods and DIOS MIOS and you can play them from hard drive. or just buy the games because they look better on a shelf then on a TV screen

I apologize, I'm not making myself clear here.

I want to take roms from consoles or handhelds and burn them onto a disc, so it is compatible with the Gamecube. That way, I can have something similar to a reproduction cartridge, but with a disc and taking one game and making it playable on another platform (this instance, the Gamecube).

Is that possible?

Even if it's unnecessary, I still want to make some roms playable on the Gamecube using a rom burnt onto a Gamecube disc.

again just get a Wii and get a program called WiiFlow and you can set up emulators with box art and its alot less work. if you want more info PM me or hit me up on skype under this same user name i can help you just not here on the board

No.

Assuming your GameCube has a mod chip,  yes you can run emulators on a GameCube warm a burnt mini DVD.

You can purchase printable mini DVDs to put art on them (if your printer can print directly onto discs)

Use a google search term such as 'nes emulator on gamecube'

As for mapping controls,  that would be dependent on the specific emulator.

Pitfalls are that GameCube emulators are not the greatest.  As others have said  the wii has better options,  but an xbox would be even better.  Perhaps more importantly the GameCube laser is extremely  picky,  especially with  mini dvd's.,  so even if you mod the cube, print the disc and burn the  game, you may find that  the console refuses to read it anyway..
