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

can i use MAX Drive Pro for my JAP gamecube?

 

i have no clue.

 

i think so, i think it says you can on the codejunies website?

 

i saw an image of MAX Drive Pro on codejunkie website but it hasnt got 2 disks on that image like this one.
it still works?

 

If you are talking about the max drive here: http://us.codejunkies.com/shop/product.asp?c=US&cr=USD&cs=$&r=0&l=1&ProdID=297 then that image must be out of date because I ordered mine for that exact link and got both discs and it works perfectly.

 

Anyone find a Max Drive Pro at a retail store?

 

did u but MAX Drive Pro from codejunkie.com?
is that website imean that shop safe?

 

Could some one tell me that the settings for imgburn should be for burning Gamecube game iso?

 

Brewgod23:

I just made sure that the settings included association with ISO's and went from there. I use IMGBURN for games and DVD's. I have had only one problem with a game and changed the burn setting to 4X and have had no problems since. If that is not enough info maybe someone else can be more helpful. Good luck.

PM me for more questions concerning the burn error. I may be able to help.

 

Thanks greensman. It helped.

 

I spoke too soon. I am trying to burn Super Smash Brothers Melee. It burns good but then I get an error message "The game disc could not be read. Read the Nintendo Instruction booklet for more information."

 

[bold]brucedlx you are the man. THank you so much because without this thread i would have never done this.[/bold]

I bought the max drive pro from the code junkies link just like you said to do in your tutorial. I followed your amazingly easy guide to soft mod the gamecube and now I have burned over 30 games.... they all work. NOT ONE BAD DISC WITH RIDATA's.

Its so easy with max drive pro... i had a mini burned when the Max Drive Pro got to my house and it took NO-LIE 10 minutes to play my first game FIRST TRY and everytime after that FLAWLESSLY!

First i ordered 10 ridata mini's from newegg.com for $10 and i didnt have one bad burn. LINK --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817132372

Then i got cocky and went to a compUSA and bought 10 mini's (compUSA brand $15!!) I tried 2 and they didnt work so DONT TRY ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES RIDATA!!!

After that i oredered from Meritline.com 20 ritek mini's for $11!!!

THEY'RE 10 packs are FREE RIGHT NOW WITH MAIL IN REbATE!

Also i have an NEC burner wich is [bold]KEY[/bold] in burning discs. Because if u have some old Sony brand dvd burner that you bought 3 yrs ago for like $200 from a bestbuy... its not going to burn discs like my $30 Nec from newegg ... so when u make the mini's order GET the NEC dvd burner thats like $30 and BURN GAMECUBE GAMES.

THANK YOU AGAIN BRUCE!

 

brewgod23: if you are burning everything right, and it still doesnt work, you are have problems with your laser. you need to open up your gamecube and adjust the laser POT settings. there is a link in one of these previous pages that teaches you on how to do that. hope this helps.

 

Which NEC burner do you have? I have a Liteon DVD-R/RW/+R/RW, anyone successfully burn with Liteon?

ALSO, have you successfully connected the drive to a computer to backup game data?

 

I did adjust the pot. All my game work great except Super Smash Brothers Melee. I have tried it on other modded GC and it still will not play there.

 

Brewgod23:

PM me for information to your questions. I think I know what your problem could be if you have not fixed it already. I have had this problem happen before on other games.

its such a damned bummer...i got the same mini dvd's from newegg....ive tried 2 different dvd burners, but i get the same results, disc read error...

my buddy got the cheapy office max mini dvd's and said theyre all working fine for him. ive still got about 15 of those mini dvd's left, but i dont have any other dvd burners to try burning in...

so im guessing its not my media but the burners i have that arent doin it right?

 

I have this dvd burner ( I THINK ) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827152035
Its out of stock at the moment.

I think this is the same one in beige http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827152059

What you need to do is just pick a dvd burner with a perfect rating that has over 100 reviews and your pretty much garunteed that it will work.... or just get one of those NEC's

Also i dont know what you mean.... Backup game data??

Yea get one of those NEC's .... i say this because i have the black one and i get the SHITTIEST DVD-r's... i mean real shitty 100 packs for $20 and my movies/data discs always work no problem! and the Gamecube games work great with it but ONLY RIDATA ... i already tried CompUSA brand and i stopped at 2 bad burns.

 

Axel, did you get the Max Drive Pro? It has a USB connection to backup game saves on your computer.

 

Yea i thought he meant like actually putting a save from a game i burned onto my computer for some reason.... i did connect the max drive pro to my computer through the usb and load the Gcos onto it.

P.S. to people that dont know whether to trust codejunkies or not.... I ordered from them and it came to me no problems what so ever(it took lke 2 weeks)...im in New York City

BUT!!! I DID ALMOST HAVE A fusking HEART ATTACK!! because when it came in the mail the max drive pro doesnt actually say "PRO" on the packaging.... but when you open it theres 2 discs and they say pro on them. I fuckin called england or wherever codejunkies is to find that shit out!
