Yes, I agree that the DVD player GameCube will be the weak link of the Nintendo family. What could be done is use a startup disc to boot the GameCubeDVD, then use an ethernet cable and the broadband adapter to transfer the data over to a computer. It'd basically be used as a giant reader. Then you'd have a nice image on your computer to do whatever with. I'm just guessing if this will work, but it's actually similar to how games are copied on the Dreamcast.

Haha..
#1 The cav drive in gamecube (same with panasonic dvd) will only start a game if it detects the EXACT same weight as the 8cm optical discs from matsushita, which is not the same as your normal 8cm disc. If you put a full blown dvd or 8cm one, it will detect an anomaly in the weight of it and will then either start the dvd movie (not a game) or just dont start at all
#2 do you have the guts to hack the 256bit encryption (and higher in the futur) for matsushita's optical disc? Even the best hacker on earth with millions to spend into research and equipment to break the encryption would take years.
#3 problem with dreamcast is that it could read its games in CD format along with sega's proprietary format, on gamecube its either GOD (gamecube optical disc) or nothing, you cant just suck the data from the original disc and copy it on a CD and make it pass as sega's proprietary disc. It was a serous loophole in dreamcast, but on gamecube, it wont be that easy..
#4 Nintendo will upgrade their drive and chips at every few quarters included in games, just like ps2 is doing. New games will upload the new drivers when you start them up, which will make any new modchips or hacks useless.
