I finally got my GDR-8162B v0018 drive hooked up to an up-to-date Windows 10 computer after being packed away for a while and I am running into a strange issue with dumping Wii and GC games.
when I put a Wii or GameCube disc into my drive it spins up then slows down to a crawl which is normal but then the drive drops off of Windows then I get a device has malfunctioned error. Only a power cycle of the drive fixes this issue.
I have not had this issue ever even on Windows 10 and it is very strange.
Sometimes I can get the drive to not error out if I put the disc in the drive while my computer is rebooting. This causes Windows to literally hang in the boot logo for a whole minute then finally I can log in then dump the game. If I switch out the disc the same thing happens to me.
yes I know I can use a Wii to dump discs, and I have several Wii systems. The point was that I was building a consoleless setup for ripping games and movies.
I have the GDR-8162B, BenQ VAD6038, Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive, Libredrive UHD friendly drive, and a UHD official Libredrive currently connected so I don’t know if any of those could be causing issues but I don’t know. I even uninstalled AnyDVD HD in case it’s lower filter driver was causing any issues.
