Recently tried some verbatim mini's and fail. The ritek no problem as others have said. More surprisingly using alcohol 120 on a pioneer BD drive and all good.

Finally connected up our GC again

Our 6yo likes Luigi's Mansion 2 & Animal Crossing on the DS so I thought why not show him the GC versions!

He loves them. He couldn't put them down

GC still looks very good via component and upscaler. We were all impressed
