No Problem. I'm assuming the alcohol didn't work.
Here's a link to the gamebit.

Hi Guys, I've been watching this method for a while but only just orderd my SDML and was wondering what are the chances of having to open the GC to adjust the POT if I have 3 cubes, One Purple DOL-001 I got on release date, another DOL-001 that I bought 2nd Hand a few years back and A silver DOL-101 I got given yesterday :) Hoping I this is gonna' work...
Thanks fp94

EDIT: Oh, and sorry if it's been asked bfore but if all the cubes are PAL can I still run NTSC games?
Cheers,

Yea you can run NTSC games. About having to adjust pots, I've tried this on 4 GC's. It's worked properly on 1 of them only.

All systems are different. I had tried Panasonic and it worked but then crashed after 5 minutes. I tried a Ridata disc and it didn't load in mine but worked excellently in another Gamecube. 25/25 worked perfectly.
Here's a link to the Ridata's I bought.
http://www.amazon.com/Ridata-Mini-DVD-R-...56747194&sr=8-1

That's probably gonna be your best price too. If you can't order online, I suggest going to a Walmart and picking up a Visa Gift Card and using that to buy the DVDs.

I can't find the exact model number but they are made by Maxell, are Gold and come in Spindle cases of 10, As for the speed, I'm buring in imgburn at 2x Speed, I just got a 'Media can't be regonized by Paper Mario, but i'll re-burn it later and see what happens,

Paper Mario worked after I re-burnt it, Also, do you know how/if I can get Action Replay working on GCoS 1.5? I can't use my original PAL Mario Kart DD save with the NTSC Backup, so I want to use AR to unlock everything again...

I have burned 100's using Ridata and clone DVD2 at 2x, no problems.
Only thing I don't like about this setup is that the SD media launcher DVD itself is apparently uncopyable, so if anything happens to that, you're screwed.
I've tried making copies of it, locks up any program I have tried.

Anybody know why I keep getting The 'Reffer to Instruction Booklet' error after playing some games for a while? It happend in Paper Mario when you get the first special move and in Fire Emblem when you get attacked by the enemy on the first mission? Anybody else had this?

EDIT: Time Splitters Future Perfect has stopped working at all, It work fine, but I turned off the GC Came back today and I get the same error on two of my GC's after the logo's come up at the start, and I've burnt Pokemon XD and I get the error again if I try to start a New file... Help! D:

Hi! I try Sd Media Launcher and Fuji Film mini dvd-r but most games don't works. I use imgburn and nothing... only Nero and a little bit Alcohol works. Most games hang at middle game. What can I do?

You need to adjust your laser. If you are burning at 2x and it still does it then it's the laser.

Core, I'm baaack!!! (Sorry for any grief caused.)
I haven't tried the rubbing alcohol, by the way, and this is the first time I've checked this post since I posted my last message. I was wondering, what rubbing alcohol do I use? Isopropyl? Might sound like a stupid question, but I have no clue what rubbing alcohol is lol. And what's a q-tip? Hope you get back to me soon.

Sorry I've not been posting lately. For the rubbing alcohol, use some high percentage Isopropyl. I used 70% but I hear 99% is better.
Use this link for laser adjustment:
http://www.gcisozone.com/tutorial/19/laser-pot-tweak-.html

It's not the best tutorial but it'll do. There should be only 1 pot on the GC. From the pictures, it looks like its on the motherboard and not the laser.
