What make/model burner do you have? What firmware version is it using?
Liteon 451S
Firmware GSBA

Nice burner. The firmware is one revision behind but if you're not having problems there's no reason to update. If you're interested there's a cool utility for Lite On drives called K-Probe that allows you to check burn quality, set booktype and tweak settings,

According to Lite On's website the GSBC firmware matches more media and from past experience new firmwares usually improve write methods for exisiting media as well so it certainly couldn't hurt to update yours. Just be sure to follow the instructions exactly and shut down all apps that you can. Flashing the firmware isn't hard but if the flash gets interrupted you'll end up with a dead drive.
Just for kicks you might try using DVD Decrypter to burn your ISOs. It's a proven top performer and very stable.
The only other recommendation I have would be to install K-Probe and use it to guage the quality of your burns when using different media, apps, settings. It's a great tool to have and know :)

You can't back up your own games using max drive pro unless you have a broadband adaptor and a version of Phantasy Star Online v.2, in which case, you wouldn't need the max drive pro anyways.
Another way to back up your own original games is to buy the Viper Extreme chip, which includes as USB output to ur computer, and u can back them up like that.
The best way, I find, is to not rip your own games, as this can be a very difficult and sensitive process. You can find copies to download, these are guaranteed to work and much easier to use.

You can backup your games using Max Drive Pro w/o Phantasy Star.
If you have a broadband adapter and a crossover/networking cable just hook your pc up to the gamecube, then under the GCOS menu go to Advanced (or additional, cant remember) options, then select Backup game. Insert the game you want to backup, hit A, then it'll give you an IP address to type in to access the ISO.

Is that proven effective Bezerker? Have you or someone else done it? I haven't heard of this before although I have seen the option you're talking about.

yea to put it simply, you need either a broadband adaptor or a Viper GC Extreme mod chip. Without one of these things, ripping gamecube games is not possible.

I can confirm that my method works.
I messed up in my first description, the "Backup Game" option is under the "Tools" menu.
Also, since you have to setup the network to be able to connect to the GC, here are working options (if they dont work, try disabling all other networks on your comp)
Network Connections -> (create a new connection, or go into the properties of an existing one) -> Highlight "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" -> hit the Properties button, then enter the following:
Use The Following IP address:
IP - 192.168.1.31
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1
Use The Following DNS server address:
192.168.1.1
AFter all that is setup you should be able to go into Internet explorer (works in FireFox sometimes, but i never have any problems with IE.). Type in 192.168.1.32/backup.iso and a notice will popup asking if you want to open the file or save (obviously choose save), then you can name it to whatever you want, hit save, and the backup will start immedately (takes 52-55 minutes to make a full backup).

Yes, you need the broadband modem. All you do is plug it into the bottom of the GC, then run a networking or crossover cable from your GC to your PC (assuming you have an ethernet connection - not a phone modem, cable/dsl/etc).
Rhino Games sells the modem for $12.99, Target for $9, and Gamestop/EB for $2.99

I just got the card and it works great. Although it has trouble booting PAL games. I tried forcing NTSC and it booted but then crashed. I tried letting GCOS automatically detect the region (my TV is NTSC/PAL compatible) and it crashed.
Also, the card is sometimes not detected or gives an error telling me to reinsert the card when I power up.
So apparently the card is great and easy to use with NTSC games, although there are occasional errors when you first power up and it currently does not work with PAL games.
Anyone had better luck with PAL?
Anyone else have the occasional card not detected error?

Yes there is a difference in the broadband adaptor and modem. You need the broadband adaptor as the modem will not work for backup.

The broadband adapter is also known as a modem.
Theres a link to GCOS in the tutorial:
http://www.dlxserver.com/gcos1.5.rar
You gotta copy & paste it into your address bar, it wont work if you click the link.
