Xeno GC install question

nsx88, I got my DVD-writer back last night and the Xeno GC is playing backups fine, although on some cut-scenes the sounds skips just a tiny bit - I think I'll have to adjust the POT a little more.

I'm using Ridata 8cm DVDs (Ebay), Nero 6, x2 x4 speeds both seem to work.

How are you getting on with yours?

 

I love your signature nsx88, if you really did you wouldn't be burning games.

 

im going to install a xeno gc in a regular gc and was wondering if you always need to adjust the pot, or only if you have rpoblems?i dont have an ohms meter and was going to turn the pot manually. just barely anything each time that is.

 

Stir_Fry, hey man, my xeno just came in today, just installed it and the leds on the chip are glowing like they should be.

my originals play fine, right now I only have backed up one of my original onto one dvd-r, and can't get it to boot.

without touching the pot, I got to the screen for memory card check, but. this was at 310ohm, now its at 165ohm, still no luck, even worse than it was itially, guess I have to try other media or burner.

EDIT: it's the media, strangely enough I ended up increasing my pot to 356ohm compared to what it was originally. Ritekg04 (ridata mini), was then used and everything is up and running, not even a hiccup. just now I backed up a couple more games and guess what, all booted nicely and no dre whatsoever. just to comment on program used, nero it is.

I have to say this forum is the best as it has led me into understanding my doubts. thanks guys.

 

Same happened to me, turned the POT down, it got worse. Turned it up from it's original 227 to 300 and it now seems fine

 

but I haven't tested the ritek mini backups with the stock pot setting so I don't whether or not a pot adjustment was needed in the first place. I'm thinking it would of worked intuitively without touching the pot. the force that drove me into changing the pot was 1st backup I burnt on full dvd-r, these were tdks (media code TTH-02) and they suck. the steps in burning was the same as my mini but not flawless, video hanging and all, I even had to adjust the pot like 5 times, going down all the way to 155, then to 356 and still shit. like it would freeze on me and not even boot, I would see the memory warning and thats it.

Luckily with all my reading and all I found the right combo that works, going to stick with this for eternity. I did not buy any additional equipment so that was nice.

 

i finally changed my pannasonic q's mod-chip to a qoob. the pannasonic q's drive is the same as the gamecubes. it boots all media, even those crap dynew ones.
