    It's a simple variable resistor tweak, a HELL of alot easier than installing a modchip!

    even with a modchip there are chances that you'd still have to tweak the laser.

    the laser only has to be tweaking if your gamecube won't read your backups. Any only then, after you've tried several different brands of mini dvds. Some people haven't had to tweak their laser to get backups to run, yet they may have to tweak it later on as the laser looses power when running backups, it's the same for all consoles.

    I already told you you need a gamebit to open the console, although the one on that link is 'out of stock'. And yes, the icedcube case will work for fullsized dvds and it's not TOO hard to change the case, it does require a bit of work though.

    Is there any way that the emulator and Rom play from this can be added to the OP, I'm having trouble even getting the emulators to run on the cube, I think the laser might be the problems with backups...help please...

    Thanks for an excellent guide Kenohki!

    Wulfie what do you plan to make your final Ohms setting? It's optimal in the 170-210 range for backups right?
