[UK->WORLDWIDE]FS:NOS GC Viper Extremes

[MrSporty]

Totally blocked once the USB extension is installed. Im pretty sure you can run the vip.ex without the usb part attached though so it should be possible.

Only someone who has a Q or a GC with vip.ex and a BBA could tell you for certain.

Anyone ?

It's totally blocked, it's one device or the other, unless you plan on wiring it internally and really bastardizing that Q with a 10-way DIP switch to switch between the two :P

The Viper GC Extreme runs fine without the USB adapter you only need it for flashing the Extreme - but everything can be done via DVD too (flashing/adding plugins/etc).

Are these better than the Qoob? I was looking at getting one for my switched Spicy Cube.

I'm asking in regards to development and stuff I guess.. How would the chip react with the region switch (US/JP) does anyone know?

[MrSporty]

Shouldn't have a problem with a region switch. The vips are compatible with jap,us or uk model GC's

I'm still sort of interested for my Q but one or two more questions (especially as the chip will cost me more than my Q did :P)

I found a pic of what it looks like underneath.

Is the USB elment detachable?

If it is does the Viper work fine without it?

Ifthe USB bit is detatched does the cable get in the way of the BBA so it doesn't fit?

If the USB is reattached does it need further configuration?

Failing that, do you have a secret stash of Viper cases? :P

[MrSporty]

Is the USB elment detachable?

Yep

If it is does the Viper work fine without it?

According to emu_kidids earlier post, yes. I cant see any reason why it wouldn't.

Ifthe USB bit is detatched does the cable get in the way of the BBA so it doesn't fit?

Its quite thin, i can fit the original cover over the usb pcb so the bba should fit if you tuck the flat cable in carefully.

If the USB is reattached does it need further configuration?

Nope

Failing that, do you have a secret stash of Viper cases? :P

Unfortunately no :(

YEAH RUB IT IN

I've just discovered my Q has been R6 modded so after all that I won't be needing a Viper just yet BUT if I pick up a PAL 'cube I know who to speak to :D

[liquitt]

what is the R6 mod? Oo

[MrSporty]

They are NOS in original packaging with all the original parts including the usb cable. They come factory flashed with a bios that will allow reflashing via standard ISO9660 DVD. I have succesfully reflashed Cobra 2.1 via usb
to my own with Windows 7.

:confused::confused::confused: Are you really sure ? Because with my NGC purple modded Viper Xtrem, i can't flash it with Seven (dll error), only with XP.

[MrSporty]

Yep, cos your using the wrong driver. I already had plenty of alternative FTDI drivers on my machine so i was able to flash straight out of the box.

Luckily, a fellow user (tjk925) on GC-Forever has packaged up a working driver if you need it.

Can the Viper chip force GameCube games into 480p? My Qoob Pro can do this (only on a few though), and I'm wondering if the Viper would be better? Looking at the various menu readme's of the Viper Bios's it doesn't look like it can do this?

[urbangangsta101]

Hi there,
Do you still have any of these? I'd really like to buy one, I'm in the UK
