gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

Hi everybody! I'm Brazilian and newer on this forum.

In 2015 I bought 2 Qoob modchips, an Sx and 1 month later a Pro. First I installed Qoob SX, when I turned Panasonic Q on I not got the drive information. I tought that was a modchip defect and I bought a Qoob Pro. I modified solder points and when I turned it on I also not drive information. It cant read burned mini-DVDR but I can play DVD video.

I got a freeze "please wait" message and a got SYSTEM DOL001 (JPN) instead SYSTEM SL-GC10.

What can I do?

Was the Q reading GC discs fine before the Qoob install? I've installed a Qoob SX in a Panasonic Q and it worked fine, so perhaps it's an issue with the drive even if it can still read video DVDs.

The way it detects SL-GC10 is via the drive date string, since it doesn't recognise that it means that it can't talk to the drive. Double check that you have plugged everything in properly, especially the adapter that goes from the ribbon cable to the GameCube motherboard.

Hi guys thanks for answers!

This GC was not new, I bought from another person, but it seems not been open before. I don't have GC games, so I don't know if It was reading GC discs before Qoob Sx install.

All wires and modchip's adapter were checked and ok!

I bought in September 2 units of RAF3011A optical laser from Ali Express and I waiting it arrive. I hope that it come in December and we know if was a problem with optical laser or a motherboard problem.

After 5 years it was fixed. It was the 32-pin FFC between GC board and laser controller board!
