I got my modded gamecube but I need help

well this stinks, I just went out to Office Depot and got some mini DVD-R's and when I run the DVD Identifier it says that they are made by Ritek Corp. and the Manufacturer is Ritek G04. so if I look at the Media issues page on Mod that Cube's site it says that they should work, but I still have the same problem, so it must not be a media issue. I still get the red box that says "The disc could not be read. Please read the NINTENDO GAMECUBE Instruction Booklet for more information." Can someone please help me, PLEASE

 

what game did you backup? I did Super Monkey Ball 2 and Nascar 2005. I am unsure if Viper works 100% with all games. Someone posted that some burners are not very good. He recommended Pioneer and Nec, and burning at 2x. I have a NEC. You definitely clicked finalize disk on Nero?

I tryed to backup my original of paper mario and pikmin 2, I also tryed it on two different burners, one is in my laptop it is a Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-820S it burns DVD-R's DVD+R's and RAM, the other is in my desktop it is a Memorex DVD+/-RW True 8Xn, and yes I did finalize the disk and burned at 2X speed.

 

That's strange, I don't know if I agree with what Cubico said about burners. However, I have a NEC. I haven't heard problems with other burners. Since, you didn't do the mod, perhaps the store tweaked the laser? If the originals work, the backup shouldn't be a problem. Also, you burned ngcdev and loaded that perfectly.

The last resort, bad viper chip? The viper sounds fine, it load bios and ngcdev... If you know someone local with a modded GC, try out the backups there. or you can send me one (Maryland)

you might have to email the expert... brakken.

 

birddy44, have you tried mini-DVDs? I'm having the same problem but, I have yet to burn it on a mini. I'm planning on going to the store either latter today or tomorrow to get some. I'll let you know if it works.

Also if you figure something out let me know.

 

Quick question guys. I'm trying to play my backups on a gamecube that does not have its cover. I took it off so that I could play my backups with DVD+/-R. Could that be why they are not working? Am I suppose to have a cover on my gamecube?

 

psxzombie, Thanks for your reply, I need to call the store I got it from and ask if they tweaked the laser, yes the originals work fine. and yes I burned ngcdev and loaded that perfectly. I don't know anyone local with a modded GC. The only thing I can think of that I could be doing wrong is the way I burn it. I use Nero Burning Rom (Nero 6 Ultra Edition version 6.0.0.11) my settings under Multisession is (No Multisession). under ISO File name length is Max. of 11=8+3 chars (ISO Level 1) Character set: ISO 9660 (standard ISO CD-ROM), Joliet not checked, nothing checked under Relax ISO restrictions. If that is the way you burn yours, then I don't know what to do next. I would like to send you one or two of my 13 coasters and see if you can get them to work in yours.
Thank you so much.

nenelindo, Yes I did try the mini DVD, Ritek G04's from Office Depot they should have worked but did not. and yes if I figure something out I will let you know, Please do the same.

 

It's cosmetic, so you can use full size cheaper dvd's.
