Re: Removing scratches from GC jewel with Brasso

First of all, this thread needs to be bumped. Lately I've been infatuated with polishing up my GC Jewels. (Note... If I didn't add "GC", you could take that differently) lol. So I followed the instructions here with Brasso. First of all, I used 1500 grit sandpaper and then finished off wit...

Re: Where do I start...

I'm just wondering does it matter the make of SDXC that i get? Do you mean the brand or standard vs micro (with adapter of course)? If brand, I guess everyone has their own preference. I say if using eBay then be cautious as many fakes are out there. I personally prefer SanDisk but I don't run home...

Here's where you can get one. It's the U.S site. They have a Euro site too depending on your location. They charge $10 to ship it as well (U.S site that is). Took about two weeks for me.

Re: Where do I start...

Am I right in saying I can just download the sdml and burn it to a disc or am I better off with an original sdml disc? I've noticed that isozone have one you can download.

Yeah, I believe 64gb and up are all standard class 10. I just got two 32gb class 10 40mbit/s micros from my local Bestbuy for $31 each. They had a huge sale.

At least with SDML, it's portable for use on any other cube. Get a cube for every room you like and use SDML for your backups in the room you wish to play. You'll only need one SDML. Just don't lose the disc...

Re: Cleaning of Your GC

If the above methods don't work for you then try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser as a last resort. Personally never tried it but I have heard that it's like a very very fine sandpaper. Many have used it for the same reason but have said it can lighten up the texture a bit like on the SNES.

Honestly there isn't a standard price for something like that. You can sum up a price for the tv but really it's worth what you're willing to pay.

Re: Few Questions regarding playing games via softmod

If you plan on playing backups on DVD-R then you'll likely need to adjust the potentiometer. Meaning taking the cube apart, getting under the disc drive to the board and adjusting a tiny screw. You could be a lucky one and never have to do it but that's unlikely. If you get in game freezing and or b...

Have you tried the game as a compressed iso or as a full size iso? I burn mine to discs so I can't help you with much else. You can try GCoS, doesn't have as many features as Swiss though.

I wouldn't see why not. I haven't tried them before but the only difference is that they are double sided so they should. They do cost more and you can't label them so I'd suggest the cheaper route.
