TUTORIAL: How to play backups w/o mod chip, only Max Drive Pro Memcard

so then indeed i was missing a peice of the package, good good cuz i was a lil leery of the packaging not sayin pro but everything else did so ok, im still waiting on the minidvd, ill throw em another email thursday if i dont get nothing by then, but good times otherwise

 

I ordered mine on 03/10/2006, still have not gotten it. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that it has taken an extremely long time for.

I wish wish it would arrive so I can test it out, then I can finally burn all of these backup games off of my PC's hdd to clear up some space.

 

Help!!!!!!!!

I loaded up the maxdrive pro software on my computer and then connected the card, after that I loaded up some save games from the disc to the card. Everything looked like it was working as expected then when I put the card into the gamecube it came up and said the card was corrupted and needed to be formated. I formatted the card and now I get a error reading card restart application message from the pc software and a card is corrupt message from the game cube!!!!!!! Argghh I cant believe that formatting from the gamecube would ruin the card??? and if it did there has to be a way to recover it??? Help oh knowldgeable ones of the maxdrive pro gamecube hack scene!!!

 

Just connect back to pc and format with maxpro software. For More detailed instruction read pages 4 to 13.
Good luck

 

Yeah mrboy this has been discussed several times on this thread. Please read previous pages.

 

Ive followed the instructions.
Got a backedup game on a maxell disc (all that i have at the moment)

I am getting this error message :-

An error has occurred.
Turn the power off and refer to the nintendo gamecube instruction bookley for further instructions.

Help, any ideas why?

 

Codejunkies finally gave me a refund for this crapdrive pro. 2 months after I returned it. Buyer beware of you order this crappy device from this crappy company

 

natdeamer: I got that error on 1 out of the 10 games I've burned so far. I got it with Paper Mario. I'm not quite sure what happened myself, but someone told me it was either a bad burn or my file is corrupted. I'd say try a different game and see if it works, and if it does then assume your problem is one of those two things above.

 

Naddreamer, what you got is called a Disc Read Error, also know as a DRE. Which happens to people with soft and hard mods. This link will help. http://modthatcube.pxn-os.org/content/dre.htm

 

so i'm getting a disc read error readin drive 04...
wtf!? it won't read my media?
i'm using some stupidly expensive maxell discs.
i'm going to try these ritek discs, and i'm goignt oburn the image at 4x.
give me some tips if you have any befor ei head butt my GC.
haha thanks guys

 

dutchs > I guess you're dutch, from reading your name, so am I. I do not use the max drive softmod, but the SDload one, but I found out that expensive disc generally suck. I use platinum DVD-R now (ritekg04) which work great. Every game I burn on them works flawlessly. You can probably buy them at your local pc-shop. There called platinum mini DVD-R, and come on a spindle, 10 on one spindle, around 10euro. You should try to find them and try them out... they work great. They look like this:

medis not recognized error, and i'm using the ritek media.. blast it, i'm going to try other os's other than gcos.
setting up drive 04, media not recognized... WTF?!

anyone got any tips? other than what i'm about to try out?

what better firmware to have 04 06 or 08...
you'd think 04 was cause it's an early one..

 

so get this.. i got it to work once, i loaded chibi robo..
i went through my normal process, leaded the gcos... when it asked me to put in my game to boot i put in chibi robo.. then i turned my gamecube upside down. and then it loaded! wtf!
i did the same with megaman command mission and it got past two screens and tld me to clean my disc or something. and then... it didn't work again.

 

Anyone confirm that newer Gamecubes work better? heh my house kinda caught fire so im probably going to end up getting a new one.

 

dutchs > My drive is a 08 one... works great with the media I recommended to you earlier... Maybe you should adjust the pot on your gamecube... If your drive is a 04, and mine is a 08, and we both use the same media... should that suggest that newer drives do work better with backups without adjusting the pot???

 

Mine is a drive 04 and it works just fine.

It's an older system, so I'm not too sure how much "age" matters using this method.

I'm also using Ritek G04 media.

 

mine is an 06
i have tried burning games with my computer, and it works some of the time, but i go over my bros and all the games that i burn from his computer work fine

so it may just be your burner

some burners are bad for gamecube games

 

I am Back again to this forum for some.
Got everything working with maxpro. Burned 4 games, no problems.
One game gives me a problem. Its Prince of Persia its PAL format i believe. So when i boot the game with auto-detect i see the images on the screen black and white and jumping, its probably because my TV not supporting PAL system. So when i select option Y to force NTSC, all i get is black screen. Can anybody suggest anything, how to deal with this issue.
Thanks in advance

 

Just got my new gamecube i might try this out now that I have a copy of SSBM ver. 1.0 online baby! I can load the files using the device to =)

 

Hi, I'm new on this board. I having a problem backing backups on my GC. I got everything it said in the thread, the Max Drive Pro, The Mini DVD R Backups, used Nero to burn the disc and finalize it. But, when I load up the GcOS on the system and attempt to boot the game, it gets up to Boot O6 Drive, and then freezes. It even does this when I attempt to boot up a legit game. So, is there something wrong with my GC?
