GCN Gamecube Modchip Survey

[HugeCock]

I never adjusted my pot either. According to some forum that I forgot who I talked too....basically I have a Sony DVD burner which when it writes to my Ritek G04 the Gamecube says its bad, skips whatever. However I found a pack of Fuji/TDK+R's that work perfect. Now if I use my pioneer DVD burner with the Ritek G04 my gamecube reads em fine hence why I said finding your burner to media combination.

Sounds like great advice! Thanx!

I got a qoob pro installed in mine and I'm very happy with it. All my backups play fine. The support is pretty much dead for it though, but you can still find help on maxconsole if you really need it.

I live in the US hence I have a US Gamecube. I see a lot of dowloads for PAL. Can I play backups of PAL DVD's or only NTSC?

 

[legendofphil]

You can play both but you would have to force NTSC output or it might be in black and white.

I'm thinking of getting a Max Drive for my backups, I have no soldering expierence at all. Is it possible that a new version of GCOS could get rid of the need to swap? I have no problem swapping discs though, because don't you have to go over to the GameCube to turn it on to begin with anyways?

 

[bryehn]

there's no way to boot into gcom/gcos without using the max drive pro disc (not that i know)...so you have to swap. unless there's something you can do to boot directly from a mem card

I ordered my Max Drive Pro today thanx to all of the help! Now to find the Mini DVD's for a good price. Going to try & find them local before mail order.

I was thinking all, "OH SHIT. SOLDERING? I'M SO BAD AT IT. I DON'T WANT TO DO IT". Then I realised I really should so I took the plunge and bought Viper Extreme. Surprisingly easy to solder as long as you have a little basic knowledge. I guess I should've known that soldering wouldn't be the hard part. It was actually getting the goddamn games to run. The mini DVDS I bought were crap and I spent ages fiddling about with the laser until I thought, "screw this" and bought G04 DVD-R and a full sized DVD case. No DRE... so far.

Good job!

Another case where persistance pays off!

for discs...i have great luck with fugi branded stuff (ritek dye), and verbatim "digital movie" dvd-r's. the radio shack branded (nexxtech) ones work for me too.
