Hi all, here's my set-up: Platinum Gamecube PAL Bios Revision 1.2 DOL-101(EUR) Drive Model 08 2002/23 (61) Ridisc 8cm 1.4GB Burned On: Sony DVD burners Max Drive Pro POT set to 210 (tried on 154, 170+ = no luck) Tried: NinjaShell, GCoS and GCoM bioses I am wondering what could possibily be the reason why my cube not playing back-ups, my cube when bought last week was in as new condition thus did not even boot disks except for SNES disk that i made, even then it would get stuck on please wait ... screen when loading a new snes rom from dvd. As far as the real games go now they boot (naruto 4) but just when the fight is about to begin it freezes. While i get message errors on my multi-game disk. What should i do to increase my chances of playing without DREs. Thankx
I have Xeno GC chip but can tell you the following from my experience... Imgburn burns better mini's than Nero (much less DREs). I had to INCREASE my POT from 210 to around 275. I could never get the mini Ridisc (Infosmart Dye Type mine were) perfect, mini's would boot but DRE after 30mins+ of play. I bought a full size lid, use full size Maxell DVD-R 16x (but burnt at x8 speed) bought from play.com and these are perfect. Not a single DRE even after like 4hrs+ play. Hope this helps and gives you hope.
well in my experience with that sorta stuff i think the platnuim cubes are harder to soft mod... its something to do with thier motherboard it is a bitch to get burnt games to work with it, i couldnt evn get action replay to boot on it, but once i changed the motherboard from a black one i bought for spares it worked fine everything booted sweet, so thats just my experience with them and soft modding. good luck
@Stir_Fry: do you know where i can download the latest drivers etc. for imgburn if needed because the last two times i have burnt on sony writers using it, it does not even complete the writing to 100% coz it gives me an error...strange! I have just downloaded ImgBurn v1.2.0.0, previously i had used the earlier ver so luck might change. Thankx for your replies --Edit-- BTW wat settings should i be using for when i choose to burn via imgburn.
That doesn't sound good about Imgburn failing! I have always used Imgburn v1.1 as I hadn't realised v1.2 was out. The default settings for Imgburn are the ones to use. Don't need to change a thing. Have you got the most recent Firmware for your writer?
the thing is that i m currently using uni dvd writers but it seems as though i must get an nec writer myself. as far as update drivr, i dunno knowas i wud guess uni wont be updating drivers very often. thankx
