Laser pot adjustment

[NeoCortex]

Hey guys,

my Gamecube plays original games just fine.
I got a couple of backups here, 8cm DVD-RW, 12cm DVD+R and 12cm DVD-R and none works with
GCos 1.5 or GCos Public Beta.
Would it help to adjust the pot or will i just kill my GC and stop it even playing original games?

Best regards, Neo

In the majority of the cases, you will need to adjust the POT to play backups.

Will this affect the play of originals?
My sense of logic says: originals are playing if i adjust the pot now they wont...

I think im just give it a try.

it will affect originals, it will make them read easier

Hmm no luck to me my original value is 330Ω
Set it down to 230Ω and up to 400Ω nothing changed.

try 150ohms, clean the lens with a q-tip and some cleaning alcohol. (isopropyl)

[NeoCortex]

Will try and report back to you, gimme 30 minutes...

Edit: 150Ω works like a charm, cant believe it. Thank you very much emu_kidid!

i was about to say the same thing. i always went with 150ohms and it worked on like 7 drives now for me...

It's my first GC, so thanks for the hint.
