Ok people, this forum section is huuuuge, i cannot find a DVD-R fullsize or Mini dvd-r compatibilty chart or anything here? since maxconsole shutdown i am here, and i need to know which dvd-r's will work on the gamecube, i have tryed sony dvd-r's, blank one's and some other random kind and so far none of them ahve worked for me, i use the PSO loader to load the gCsOv1.dol loader and nothing boots it up, will i have to tweak my damn lazer? cause that will be a pain in the ass if i do, but please reply with a possible Gamecube DVD-r Compatibility chart or something and could someone please help me if i have to tweak my lazer or not thank you.
Well personally I know Ritek, Ridata Mini DVD's work very well, but If you want a complete chart look at this link which holds a media compatibilty chart:
I just burnt a imation DVD-R with a gamecube iso with Nero and it did not boot? not sure whats going on here, but is there a different loader for this of the PSO loader or no? or maybe people can tell me exactly what they did to make there pso loader to work on the full size dvd-r mod, if you anybody can tell me thanks very much
You can find the Ritek Ritada mini DVD at meritiline.com or supermedia store you can also buy the prodisc mini DVD's which are very good too, you dont need anything special to boot from a DVD-R so dont worry about it. hope it helps ;-)
Hmm i could try that out but others tell me it could be my burner, the image , or the dvd, but imation dvd-r's the ones i am trying say they work, so if its my burner that really woudl suck, is there some kind of burner compatibility or something? cause this is really frustrating if you can help me out still thanks.
Dont use Imation they are no good, try using prodisc or ridata, I think verbs dont work on the cube, have u used Mini DVD's before and they have worked well, because if not it may be time to do it ;-)
If you decided to tweak your laser here is the thread
SVP Price: (9 or fewer items) £8.75
SVP Price: (10 or more items) £1.99 << this can't be right? grab them while you can :-) works out to be 20p per disc
So...for the price of that expensive replacement case £20, you could instead get 100 mini-DVDs £19.90 This should be more than enough for your backup needs.
I think that price is to good to be true, but if they are real Prodisc get them they are very good and work on the cube :-) although maybe you still have to tweak your cubes laser
Another brand to add to the list is Sony D11 discs,they are garbage and fake Sony discs from WalMart.Best advice is to get your media at http://www.newegg.com or http://www.meritline.com .
