well I've read that they were a good brand,alot of people use that brand with sucess, but I don't know from personal exp. I've only used full sized HP DVD-R (like in my pics above) but hey! They were on sale at staples LOL! I mean I was going go mini-dvd until I started thinking about $.
I read a few threads where people were saying to use +r .


I just got the Scummvm emulator working from SD card on my cube.

Breaker Pro + Swap Magic 3.6 (NTSC)

PS2 v7 40GB official Sony HDD / flip-top chipped with DUO2SE
Dreamcast (v 0)
N64
GC plat. Dol-001 USA XenoGC v1.0 + 512MB SD Card with Gecko adapter (Smoke Black XCM full sized DVD case)

The black and white rolling screen means it's PAL , and you are probably in the US or Canada, the Xeno chip is supposed to have a region selction by holding either x button or y button at start up, but I never got it to work look here http://modthatcube.pxn-os.com/main.htm
I have Mario Kart Double Dash that's PAL, and the region select dosen't work for it but when the game starts it asks 50 or 60 Hz, so I had to navigate the rolling screen to pick 60 for US.
I never had any luck using Nero to burn GC games. So I use IMGBurn, and it works great. Under the settings tab you can make it see both .ISO and .GCM , thus you don't have to rename them.... Dolphin would run them fine because computers don't discriminate between PAL and NTSC signals.
but if you're downloading backups, go for USA and NTSC not PAL.
hope I didn't confuse you too much
best regards......
You hold down Y. But it doesn't work for all PAL games. PAL Mario Sunshine still booted up in PAL. Hulk Ultimate Destruction gives a black screen when trying to force NTSC mode. But I didn manage to get PAL 1080 Avalanche and Minority Report working great. I wonder if there is a compatibility list for this.

Well, if there is a list somewhere, I haven't found it yet. I know Luigi's Mansion PAL dosen't work with it. It's good to hear that somebody get the force region option to work. I was starting to think that maybe it wasn't real. Just out of curiosity, what brand of TV are you using? I got a crappy $60 Wal-mart , Durabrand which is NTSC 60Hz ONLY.

I got mine from Wal-Mart too but paid a bit more than $60 lol. Its a Phillips though which is better quality that Durabrand.

well what isn't better quality than Durabrand LOL!
I'd really like to get a multi region TV. I used to have an old RCA that would display PAL PS2 games with no prob but I don't have it anymore.
also everyone beware of PAL > NTSC converters for game consoles. I have one for PS2, and when I used it, instead of the b/w rolling screen with no sound, I got a rolling color screen with sound... so I called the place that I ordered it from , and they said that I needed to adjust the vertical hold knob, which I don't have. I even E-Mailed Durabrand. They weren't any help though.........

Is it possible if I get a backup of an action replay disc to be able to use it without an action replay memory card.

Basically what I'm asking, if I download action replay and burn it, will it work without having any of the other crap that comes with it?

Yes, it will work just fine. But you're gonna have to have a memory card in slot b. I put my old MC 59 in there cuz I wasn't using it for games anymore due to its pathetic 59 blocks of memory. But it holds a ton of AR codes.
