Sometimes a backup game will load, sometimes the disc will stop spinning before it even loads. Is the the famous DRE which would mean I need to laser tweak?
Yes, it needs laser tweaking or different media. Try all kind of ohm values(around 150-350 is good to try), then if it wont work, change media. And when you burn backups, take burn protection off, works better.
no thats not the DRE error i have the same prob sametimes,in anaconda04,disk stops,swap,disc spins,gamecube reads,but does not loading try again,same process,same media,disk reads and loads flawlessly 1/10 trys the disc does not load DRE is,when the game stops spinning while the game,and the tv screen shows you the message to reboot the gamecube
Well.. I think I may have found the answer to my problems.. I downloaded a program called Nero DVD Speed to test the data of my burned mini DVD-R's (Optodiscs) backups of my original games. The ones I have not been able to get to work all have Read Errors whereas the games that do work do not have any errors when tested, 100% success. So, now I have to distinguish if it's the quality of the media or my system having buffer issues while burning. Maybe this will help some of you.
