I've been having a horrible time trying to get my mini-DVD's to boot on my Gamecube with the Max Drive Pro. I get three beeps and then nothing. I can't decide if it's my burner, my DVD's, or the POT on my cube.
Anyway, I need something that'll work every time and I'd rather not hard mod my cube.
So since I already have a Max Drive, is there anyway to use it to stream a game from my computer (like the PSO hack?) While I don't have a broadband adapter either, I've always wanted one (GC Linux) and they're readily availble.
Actually, you still haven't answered my first question. Are you trying to play back-ups with a normal MDP or did you load a soft mod on it such as GCoS or GCOM?
If you're trying to load back-ups with a normal MDP it's not going to work regardless of what burner, media, and app you're using.
Anyway, the NEC should be fine, although I doubt the quality of Dynex since it's rather cheap in comparison to say, Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden. Also, Nero 7 has little to no success with GC back-ups, so I'd stay away from that. Nero 6 and ImgBurn work well enough though.
And yeah, you'll need a special screwdriver to open the GC, unless you try doing that BIC pen method many have grown to love. Just make sure you either replace the screws or slice a line in it so you won't have to worry about getting them out with a special tool again.
Nope, still no luck with ImgBurn. Because my drive uses a modded firmware, I've already eBay'd a cheap DVD-R burner. Now I guess I'll just need to give some new media a try.
