The best way is to get some discs and then check their manufacturer code in something like ImgBurn. From my experience the darker the dye, the better the GC can read them too.
Interesting. I'll check that out.. :-)

Re: backup games on gamecube won't load

Swiss reads the disc and I hear that it spins.. and stops... spins.. and stops, the third time it sounds like it's gong to work butt then I hear some clicking sounds and then it stops again. I will start by finding some ritek DVDs to test The third time is where it enables the motor + laser in debu...

That's not what I said. I clearly told you "I don't know". The second line was about my Swiss build being broken.
So sorry for that reaction and misunderstanding

Re: backup games on gamecube won't load

I have no idea about the disks. The Swiss build I posted doesn't seem like it works at all, and I'm not appropriately set up to debug it at the moment so you'll have to go back to official builds. Hopefully the Ritek discs work out better. The reason I asked was not to hear if these discs will work...

Re: backup games on gamecube won't load

Thanks for trying. I've asked emu_kidid to test that change again, he told me before that it worked but he never merged it into the master branch. Okay, fingers Crossed.. Though I'm going to look for some Ritek Mini-Dvds just in case.. Do you think these would do? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-x-RI...

Re: backup games on gamecube won't load

Try this build, but please avoid sharing it all over the place as it's not exactly validated for public consumption yet. The interesting change is in the way patches are being uploaded to the drive. Ooh this looks interesting. I'll test it when I get off work. Thank you! Don't know if it's related,...

Swiss doesn't allow you to use 480p if you don't have the component video cable or equivalent.
Ahh that makes sense.. :-) Then I'll wait for my Carby to arrive and try it then..

Re: backup games on gamecube won't load

What does Swiss tell you as it's trying to read the disc? (use the latest version of Swiss) If your GC can read the SDML disc every time that's a good sign that your laser still has some life left in it and you can probably go down to a lower ohm range (100ohm). I'd still recommend finding ritek g0...

Re: backup games on gamecube won't load

Alright, so you're using Swiss to boot your disc then? Which version? Like I said you'll probably have to try different discs (Ritek G04's are the ones people have had the most success with), a different burner, or buy a new laser. Yeah both Swiss and GCOS. Swiss version r473 GCOS version 1.50 I th...

Re: backup games on gamecube won't load

That's pretty much it yeah. Discs, burner, software and settings all have an effect on the outcome, and then there's laser lottery. Just to make sure, you are using a modchip right? Sorry for the late reply. It's softmodded through SDML. I've seen videos on youtube where people get it to work witho...

backup games on gamecube won't load

Hi guys. I just wanted to know if the Gamecube is very picky when it comes to loading Mini DVD-R's ? I made a backup from my Purchased and legal Mario kart Dash, but my GC says it does not recognise the disc... The brand of the Mini DVD-R's are media range.. Does it have to be Ritek as soo many are ...

Re: Isos on Swiss not working

So I've tried the following games:

Donald Duck - Quack attack - Works fine when you're choosing a level. As soon as it starts, it crashes

TMNT - Works fine when choosing character and level/stage, As soon as the level start, same crash.

Did you even read my first post?

I have not bought the item from them, but from someone on Ebay.. And I'm simply asking if anyone here feel that they are reliable.

Please read my post instead of slamming the door like that

Hi everyone. I just recently got myself a Gamecube! I'm super excited and I want to use it for playing games via Isos. It is not modded yet, its the DOL-001 version. I have no intention on modding via chip/soldering/etc, but want to use the softmod method. I've seen the SD media launcher kit is avai...
