[wildfire95]

Anyone softmodded there Gamecube console? Im thinking of doing mine, scared of doing a hardmod incase i do it completely wrong and brake it completely but softmod seems easy enough for me to do.

If you have softmodded a gamecube before can you tell me -
Your preferred method?
Name of disk you use for the backups etc.
Any other tips.

Thanks

I used the Action Replay with an SD-Gecko a while back, primarily because I had an AR lying around.
In the end I hard modded it anyway.
I have found that Ritek G04, G05 and Taiyo Yuden TYG01 DVD-R's work the best but they are all full sized disks and you would need to replace or remove the lid.

You may find that it doesn't work properly and you will need to tweak the laser pot to get it to work.
