This is the BEST AP screen i’ve ever seen. No jumpscares, no hyper realistic blood, just ominous music and convincing visuals. This is what all AP screens should be like.
I love that low, ominous key that plays as soon as the "Verification failed" screen comes up. Imagine actually entering whatever code was there and still seeing the failure screen... I'd be so unsettled tbh
A more realistic approach, in my opinion, would be: Give the user three tries, in case they miss a digit by accident. Then if the code is incorrect, do not allow the game to be played, but don't lock up the entire console (unless it's a counterfeit Gamecube)
I don't think this would've been possible for the tech at the time, but my concept is that after three tries, the memory cards would be wiped (either just the blocks for the game in question or the whole card) and then writing new data on the card would be disabled. Along with this, the console would refuse to load the disc once it has been deemed invalid.
I would agree with the three tries thing, but have it lock up with a message saying to contact Customer Support with proof of purchase to unlock your console.

Very well made, but the “serial code” is the same across all GameCube games: IFPI-V9F6. It should have instructed the player to flip the disc on its back and to input a code starting with “C” on the black innard ring, as that is the only code that’s truly different depending on the copy of the game. EDIT: The serial code mentioned above is for American copies. For European copies, as tomrow pointed out, that instead would be "IFPI-HH55".
this compared to other fake anti piracy screens this looks very legit it doesnt have anything that try to be scary in a dumb way but tries to be realistic on what would happen if you use a pirated game so good job
This is super impressive and looks pretty damn real! I think the GC would give you multiple tries to type the code if this was real, but only having one shot definitely makes it creepier. Great work :)
If this was real then here's how it should actually be: 1. If the code was invalid, the game will basically put your GameCube into timeout for 2 weeks (14 days), so you don't need to go to a repair center, but it is optional in the case that you are not patient and can't even wait. 2. You have 3 attempts at the code entry, 3 strikes and you now need to wait 2 weeks to get your GC back. 3. You will be asked to confirm your code if you press A, so to confirm your code you need to press A twice if you think it's correct or press B and then correct your code if you see a mistake. Same goes for when you press B on the "Is this a valid disc?" dialog and the disc verification screen.
4. If it is right then it will say "You passed. Did you learn your lesson?" Press yes and it will go back to the game! If you get it right the first try, You will get an A+! If You get it right the second try, You will get an B+! The last try, C-, And If you don't pass it at all, You will get a F-, And your GameCube will get locked out for 14 Days! And if you turn it on, it will say "Sorry, your GameCube is locked out for __ Days! Wait that many days and you will be able to play on your GameCube again. PS. Nintendo should see this right?
But keep in mind that it could have taken 6-8 weeks for delivery in an age before Amazon Prime shipping. If you didn’t live close to a repair center, it would have been worth the wait.
Okay, these are some of my favourite anti piracy screens. Like, actually kinda realistic but still really ominous and spooky. In particular that tone when the verification failed message came up. Omg I'd be beside myself if I saw that irl
i love how it's not the GameCube Disc Validator, but the _Dolphin_ Disc Validator. does this imply this feature was left in the beta testing phase and somehow made its way onto a retail GameCube? _IS_ this a retail GameCube?
I like to think it was a feature that was scrapped for but present on retail GameCubes, whereas a faulty clone of or a improperly installed modchip will activate the screen.
There is one tiny detail they missed, that I can use to prove that it’s not real. The GameCube wouldn’t be able to remember that the console is locked. The only way the GameCube remembers anything internally; is the gamecube’s clock/calendar which takes up all of the GameCube’s RAM.
At 1:22, it says Dolphin because 'Dolphin' was the codename for the GameCube, not to be confused with the emulator (which was named after the Codename)
The nightmare was, i pull out my old gamecube and run a game like def jam fight for ny and then suddenly, when i turn it up, i see a screen saying that an irregularity has happened and i will be teleported into a room after the startup animation where its impossible to get out and i will be stuck forever And there is a scary music playing over and over
This brings back so much nostalgia - i remember watching these anti piracy videos a long time ago It's been almost four years since these were popular.
This is extremely well made. Probably my favorite video from the fan made anti-piracy trend. This somehow manages to be more unsettling than the videos utilizing blood, black eyes, etc. The Gamecube menus always had this odd and freaky aura to them so it's cool to see them being used this way.
"This disc is not valid? Then we just disable optical drive to make console non-functional, go to repair center, all at your own" No, seriously, I imagine if this was real, Nintendo would be mired in tons of lawsuits (well, no shit, who need a console, which make itself unusable just because of one non-valid disc) And I need to say, this is very impressive work, looks damn real.

GameCube: "please enter the serial number on your GameCube optical disc to validate it." Me: "No problem!" (Swaps bootleg disc with a regular disc and enters serial number)
Maybe then you have to then put the code on the bottom of the disc (e.g. DL-DOL-GLME-USA for an US copy of Luigi’s Mansion). Fail and then it gets locked. Succeed and it will look for the BCA, then go: “Understandable. Have a nice day.” Then you play the game as normal. In the case of a pirate or faulty disc, it will then tell you to send the disc to Nintendo(In the US the address would be 4600 150th Avenue NE Redmond, WA), then power off the console.(GameCube still plays as normal) If you send a faulty disc in, then I suppose then that the people at Nintendo would send you a replacement disc. If you are dumb enough to send a pirate/fake disc, Nintendo will then send it back and say that they could not replace the disc.
Everyone saying that this is way too strict of a check and unrealistic, try to imagine this: You're a kid in high school and there's a rumour that the Game Cube can get locked up by some strange and creepy warning, and the rumours of how this happens get more and more absurd every time you hear it. What we're seeing in this video would probably be what you imagined as a kid after hearing all of this. That's what makes it creepy to me.

This anti-piracy screen is unique because it keeps a nistolgic and eerie feel to it. Its also realistic compared to other anti piracy screens. The other ones reuse sounds uploaded from youtube, and dont really keep that nistolgic feel, but more of the eerie feel.
I swear its like the gamecube got alive and its angry because you have entered a wrong code and it disables itself until you call Nintendo or buy a new one coz there is nothing called nintendo support in your country
"uhh, HIM again, sorry sir, you are connected to the City V help desk, we can try to forward you to the repair ward but he ain't gonna be active at this time"
Gamecube: Is this a valid NINTENDO OPTICAL DISC? Me: Yes *Verification fails* Gamecube: *Now you will pay your crimes with malfunction and creepy noises and jumpscares*
Not gonna lie I don't know which is scarier, the fact that it would out of nowhere completely interrupt your game to bring you back to the dark gamecube menu and question you on whether your game is real or not, or your console telling you that it knows you're playing a pirated game and self disabling it's optical disc drive all with a horrifying piano tune that matches the gamecube menu theme itself. If I was playing this at night and it happened I would never turn it back on again.
I'd have some ideas for the screen improvement. - Once you enter the code, make a menu like this: "Is the serial code correct?" So the end user don't end up mistaking a digit. - Don't lock up the entire optical drive, just block the disc from the system until a legitimate copy of the game will be detected by the GC. - I think the "Is this disc a valid one" is too silly. Just make it be straight forward because everyone would choose yes neverthless. - If there's any saved data related to the counterfeit game, wipe it off the system memory. Might as well wipe the system configuration. - Corrupt the disc once it is invalid, to prevent gameplay, and bricking other GCs.
GameCube: “Is this a valid NINTENDO GAMECUBE OPTICAL DISC?” Boy: *clicks Yes* Also boy: “heh heh I totally fooled this dumb thing” GameCube: “To validate your NINTENDO OPTICAL DISC, please locate and enter the eight digit serial code printed on the burst cutting area.” Boy: “Oh Shi-“
Last night I had a nightmare of pirating a game for 3DS and got a very horrible jumpscare, adding an anti-piracy screen bricking the 3DS's ability to use sd cards for an indefinite amount of time, oof.
GameCube: To validate your NINTENDO OPTICAL DISC, please locate and enter the eighth digit serial code printed on the burst cutting Me: *types 69* GameCube: This copy of the game is... Oh god IT'S TOO WEIRD!
I know this isn't real because: A. If you do put in a pirated disc in an actual GameCube without a modchip like the XenoGC, it will just take you to the System Settings. This can also happen if a drive is failing due to old age. B. If no drive is detected, they will give out an error, but it's usually solvable by using another optical disc drive or a GC Loader (SD-based optical drive replacement for the GameCube). C. The optical drive is read-only. The GC Loader cannot store user settings, but a SDGecko or SD2SP2 can. D. There is absolutely no way you can disable to optical drive through software (even Homebrew) unless you mess something up on the main board. I have opened up a bunch of cubes a few months ago, and I know this.
I like to think that this can happen by an improperly installed modchip, and that it blows the motor to the disc drive rendering it non-functional since it can’t spin. Of course what I said is bullshit, but ya know.
Now, if you look on that lock screen, it will say it is a serious crime to copy video games you’re Nintendo GameCube optical drivers disabled and can no longer function, meaning that is permanently unusable due to the corruption of the pirated game. meaning you no longer play a game cube game or insert one ever again or you can still insert one. It will just never read it ever again. I’m guessing the built-in circuitry may have to shut down the optical drive just to avoid further damage.
O To validate your NINTENDO OPTICAL DISC, please locate and enter the eight digit serial code printed on the burst cutting area B - Cancel A - Validate
@@HarvoSpoon That's after if you fail the code, you missed the point. The optical drive hasnt failed yet, but I assume you cannot eject the disc since you can play the "pirated" game again from where you left off if the disc is actually valid.
there is actually a hidden skip function, enter the release date of the Famicom (MM/DD/YYYY) and it will auto-verify and identify the disc as valid and the console as a nintendo corporate console and remove checksum and drivelock. although you will need to enter a passcode to continue, and if you enter it wrong, it will activate an irreparable drivelock that can only be bypassed by entering a valid passcode or modding the bios chip to remove checksum/drivelock and wiping the memory to prevent detection of piracy/modding and stop it from disabling the disc drive, and also to erase all traces of previous drivelocks and checksum errors. glad i could help.

The only way the GameCube remembers anything internally; is the gamecube’s clock/calendar which takes up all of the GameCube’s storage.

if it wasn't for the glitch effects this would be the most legit thing i've seen
Holly crap! this is well edited and its as scary as Joey's version
what if you restart once the An irregularity has been detected screen shows up? that would be interesting.
City 5 Protection Agency will kick your door down and arrest you.
it would most likely either brick the console or it would show up again

This anti-piracy screen is unique because it keeps a nistolgic and eerie feel to it. Its also realistic compared to other anti piracy screens. The other ones reuse sounds uploaded from youtube, and dont really keep that nistolgic feel, but more of the eerie feel.
The scariest thing about this is that Nintendo would actually do this if they wanted to.
I doubt it lol
@@transmasctsukasaI dont. Nintendo is very serious when it comes to pirated games. So I’m shocked that they didn’t do this.
@@JamesConnor116The code is the same for all GameCube games, so this would be useless
I swear its like the gamecube got alive and its angry because you have entered a wrong code and it disables itself until you call Nintendo or buy a new one coz there is nothing called nintendo support in your country

Not gonna lie I don't know which is scarier, the fact that it would out of nowhere completely interrupt your game to bring you back to the dark gamecube menu and question you on whether your game is real or not, or your console telling you that it knows you're playing a pirated game and self disabling it's optical disc drive all with a horrifying piano tune that matches the gamecube menu theme itself. If I was playing this at night and it happened I would never turn it back on again.
I'd have some ideas for the screen improvement.
- Once you enter the code, make a menu like this: "Is the serial code correct?" So the end user don't end up mistaking a digit.
- Don't lock up the entire optical drive, just block the disc from the system until a legitimate copy of the game will be detected by the GC.
- I think the "Is this disc a valid one" is too silly. Just make it be straight forward because everyone would choose yes neverthless.
- If there's any saved data related to the counterfeit game, wipe it off the system memory. Might as well wipe the system configuration.
- Corrupt the disc once it is invalid, to prevent gameplay, and bricking other GCs.
the disks are not writable
The discs are basically miniDVD-ROMs (Read Only Memory). I don't think it's possible to modify it at all
i think the best part about this is the fact that the validator is called “dolphin”
Is nobody gonna talk about the disc rolling at 1:07?
So the discs appeared
Disc:weeeeee! oh hi! :D
modders and homebrewers: "do not fear, i am here!"
What happens if you get it right? It lets you play or is it like “bruh you guessed”?
The music is just so creepy and I love it
GameCube: “Is this a valid NINTENDO GAMECUBE OPTICAL DISC?”
Boy: *clicks Yes*
Also boy: “heh heh I totally fooled this dumb thing”
GameCube: “To validate your NINTENDO OPTICAL DISC, please locate and enter the eight digit serial code printed on the burst cutting area.”
Boy: “Oh Shi-“
That GameCube really said "you have failed the vibe check"
Last night I had a nightmare of pirating a game for 3DS and got a very horrible jumpscare, adding an anti-piracy screen bricking the 3DS's ability to use sd cards for an indefinite amount of time, oof.

I’m very late to this but it’s insane how real this looks
BUT HOW DO YOU READ THE SERIAL CODE OF THE DISC IS SPINNING?!?
Because you take it out and GameCube will restart
More than the screen itself, I love the CRT-like effect of the video.

Only consumers use "pirating is a serious crime" phrase
This is impressive! Even I can't do that with software! Good work!
The fucking music 😂. The single low piano key when it failed
I know this isn't real because:
A. If you do put in a pirated disc in an actual GameCube without a modchip like the XenoGC, it will just take you to the System Settings. This can also happen if a drive is failing due to old age.
B. If no drive is detected, they will give out an error, but it's usually solvable by using another optical disc drive or a GC Loader (SD-based optical drive replacement for the GameCube).
C. The optical drive is read-only. The GC Loader cannot store user settings, but a SDGecko or SD2SP2 can.
D. There is absolutely no way you can disable to optical drive through software (even Homebrew) unless you mess something up on the main board.
I have opened up a bunch of cubes a few months ago, and I know this.
I like to think that this can happen by an improperly installed modchip, and that it blows the motor to the disc drive rendering it non-functional since it can’t spin. Of course what I said is bullshit, but ya know.
And also it uses part of the Wii startup
@@HarryHarshman No, some GameCube games actually have that as part of their bootup
Mario Superstar Baseball is another game that does this
@@ihavenoideas5844 I didn't know that
Wow, do you want a cookie for knowing this isn't real? Everybody knows this video is fake, but it's very well made!
Now, if you look on that lock screen, it will say it is a serious crime to copy video games you’re Nintendo GameCube optical drivers disabled and can no longer function, meaning that is permanently unusable due to the corruption of the pirated game. meaning you no longer play a game cube game or insert one ever again or you can still insert one. It will just never read it ever again. I’m guessing the built-in circuitry may have to shut down the optical drive just to avoid further damage.
So I think this permanent optical drive disabled or after when a pirated game has been noticed it’s nothing but just a last resort fail safe
So this happens if you press yes
O
To validate your NINTENDO OPTICAL DISC,
please locate and enter the eight digit serial
code printed on the burst cutting area
B - Cancel A - Validate
O NO
Also how will you be able to locate the disc's serial number if you cant eject the disc or open the disc cover? An official game manual?
i assume it only breaks the function of the optical drive itself, not it's lid
@@HarvoSpoon That's after if you fail the code, you missed the point. The optical drive hasnt failed yet, but I assume you cannot eject the disc since you can play the "pirated" game again from where you left off if the disc is actually valid.
@@Ethan-rd6hc You take off the disc. Put in the serial code. And then put the disc back in
2:02- imagine its like 3am in the morning and just seeing that- HOLY CRAP I WOULD POOP MYSELF-
What if you just find a valid code of it online and cheese it that way
But what if you where on like 2003 when the internet wasnt as advanced like now and yo could'nt find the code
@@-FARTBABY or you could go to a Walmart or something and look at the game from the case cause Walmart sells only Offical copies.
“validate your gamecube ga” pirate: NO! *unplugs cable*
there is actually a hidden skip function, enter the release date of the Famicom (MM/DD/YYYY) and it will auto-verify and identify the disc as valid and the console as a nintendo corporate console and remove checksum and drivelock. although you will need to enter a passcode to continue, and if you enter it wrong, it will activate an irreparable drivelock that can only be bypassed by entering a valid passcode or modding the bios chip to remove checksum/drivelock and wiping the memory to prevent detection of piracy/modding and stop it from disabling the disc drive, and also to erase all traces of previous drivelocks and checksum errors. glad i could help.
@@mingledingle1556 lol
I love how in disc validator it says proto/beta gamecube name dolphin
"and then the gamecube intro cube was covered in hyper-realistic blood, and then it looked at the screen and said FUCK!"
NOTE: if the optical disc drive has been locked, you can just replace it with another one.
