Hope someone can help,

Try sticking a GC disc in your PC and see what happens...

I believe you mean 'extract'.  And--to the best of my knowledge--no, you cannot.

I might try this later with a game I don't want.  Watch out SFA

I doubt your PC will be able to read the disc, but let me know the results.  I'd be interested in knowing if your DVD drive even recognizes the disc.

only if your DVD drive can spin backwards and read from the inside --> out

I've always thought that the GC reads data from the outside in.

Try to put the audio cable from the gamecube to the input audio back on the pc, then with a software program record the sound, that should work.

That would be capturing, not extracting.

once I was curious so I open the case of my gamecube after turning it off and I saw it spins in the exact same direction as any other normal player... am I wrong or what? I should check it again...

The GameCube's disk doesn't spin backwards. But it does "read" backwards. "Track 1" (if we want to call it that) would start on the innermost ring with a regular CD/DVD, but with the GameCube, it's on the outermost ring.

There are some bootleg GameCube "disk images" floating around on the internet, in some of those places where you can download illegal stuff. They're not really "disk images" though. They won't work in a GameCube. Nothing (except a GameCube) can read a GameCube disk, so some hackers used the very-hacked Phantasy Star Online to get inside the GameCube, then managed to order the temporarily-hacked GameCube to transmit the entire contents of various GameCube disks over the modem into the computer the hackers had just used to hack Phantasy Star Online.

Supposedly, if you take one of these bootleg "disk images" and run it through some of the homemade programs these hackers have been putting together, you can sometimes extract various bitmaps and audio files from the game. So, it's apparently "possible".

That's about all I know, and I wouldn't suggest digging further any further into it, as it's rather illegal, and even if you ignored that, you'd have to deal with some really hardcore bad guys.

ha ha, i'm sorry but i found that line hilarious

even if what they are doing is illegal, you must still be impressed with how hard they tried and actually got it working.  i mean hacking the XBox was phenominally (sp?) easier.

i never thought they'd be able to hack the cube, but they did

Let's not have this turn in to a discussion on how to hack consoles
