   Notation* - Now I know in that location are a few guides out at that place and I just wanted to write upwards my process of burning games and likewise the correct way to burn down them.
   
   GUIDE: How to properly burn Nintendo Gamecube games

   This guide will comprehend the various ways to correctly fire games as as well as troubleshoot some common bug with burned games such every bit DRE's and unreadable media. POT adjustment is coming soon.

   CONTENTS:
   1) What will exist needed
   2) Preparing the ISO for burning
   3) Choosing a burning program/DVD Burner
   4) Writing the disc
   5) Playing your new game(s)
   6) DRE's (coming Soon)
   7) POT Adjustment (Coming Soon)

   1) What will be needed
   - Ritek G04 Mini DVD-R, or good full sized media (Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Ritek G05)
   - Practiced quality DVD Burner(NEC/Pioneer)
   - Modded NGC

   two) Preparing the ISO for called-for

   Afterward you procure an ISO(s) of choise, yous first need to come across if the ISO is the correct size. The correct Size of an ISO is "1,459,978,240 bytes". Y'all can just right click your ISO(due south) and select "backdrop" from the card. If the listed size is bigger.smaller than 1,459,978,240 bytes, the iso is either: corrupt, under dumped, over dumped and will demand to be stock-still.

   To prepare the underdumped/overdumped ISO you volition need a utility chosen chosen "Wiped GCM Fixer" (Located hither for download > HERE)which will basically add or remove data to make the ISO the correct size. Once the application is loaded, DO NOT cheque whatever of the boxes. Only click on the "1.4GB Image" push to rebuild the ISO. After it has finished rebuilding the ISO, it is set to burn down.

   3) Choosing a called-for program/DVD Burner

   Having the correct Combination of a DVD burner and DVD burning software usa essential when it comes to properly burning NGC games. In my experience, the "SONY AWQ170A" and "Lite-On 1693S" DVD Burners have made many skilful burns for me. I take also had good burns on some NEC drives every bit well. For the cost, I would shoot for the Sony as I accept yet to go a bad burn.

   As for media, either go the "Ritek G04 Mini DVD-R" or get some actually good full sized media such as "Verbatim" or "Taiyo Yuden". The Ritek Mini DVD-R are the best choice all around as they produce the best burns and have the most compatible dye. I currently apply a
   SONY AWQ170A burner and I burn all my games at 2X and have yet to have a problem. Other media will also work but the good burn down charge per unit ratio may be different amid brands.

   4) Writing the disc

   When it comes to writing the disc, you actually need 1 of these 2 software(s): IMGBurn, or NERO 6.

   IMGBURN INSTRUCTIONS:
   Load upwardly the epitome and select the lowest write speed possible for your selected media. Make sure "Finalize Disc" is checked and click Burn.

   NERO six INSTRUCTIONS:
   Load upward NERO Burning ROM and select "Recorder > Burn Image" from the peak card bar in NBR. At present you tin can scan for your ISO(s) and clikc on i. One it is loaded into NERO you have to ready the burn speed to the lowest setting and also make sure "Finalize Disc" is selected as well as "Disc-At-In one case (DOA)" mode is as well selected. If a block size erroe pops up right after y'all select your ISO, y'all make have to attempt to fix the block size, only I've take good burns on these errors. Information technology will have effectually 20 minutes to fire an image at 1X speed and then don't exercise anything else on the computer until the burn is complete.

   5) Playing your new game(s)

   Later y'all game(s) are burned the only thing left to do is examination them out a scrap to run into if you lot have any problems. If you experience no errors for and hr or more, yous should have a expert burn down. If your NGC is unable to read the disc, then it was a bad burn and the higher up burning steps need to be repeated again.

   Congrats on burning your start NGC game!!

   MORE COMING Shortly.

   Also, it would be squeamish if this thread could be stickied.

   Y'all can utilize the AR swap method or SD Load to load upwardly GCOS to boot the game, but a mod-chip is probably the best choice as information technology is the easiest/fastest style to do and so.

    Will the above DVDs piece of work to burn GC games? I recently bought a GC modded with the Qoob Chip, and it has the full sized opening. The guy gave me 5 discs for it they were all burned onto Memorex DVD-R.

    I then downloaded some isos renamed them into gcm files and bought my own Memorex DVD-R spndle yet for some reason out of the 7 games I downloaded just 1 would play, any reason this might be?

14. it may exist the image that is the problem, not certain though

    Is there a mode to check images before burning them? It's costing me quite a few DVDs. Now I am even trying Verbatim DVDs along with my Memorex and still no luck.
    Equally a matter of fact I burned Metroid Prime and when I went to play it, Qoob read information technology fine, then went to load the game and the screen became all bouncy and grayish color....

    If y'all fire with Nero, it automatically checks them. If no error pops upward after yous select the prototype you want to fire, then the image is fine.

    Does it matter if the file is an .iso or a .gcm?
    Also does anyone know how to accommodate the laser, I was told this could be the problem, adjusting the p.o.t. or something?

    So I took a RE2 File, "s3-re2.iso" burned information technology through Nero on a Memorex DVD-R at 2x speed. Didn't give me whatever errors said information technology was completed successfully. The file size is one,459,978,240 bytes, so I have no clue what's incorrect. I am also using a Benq Lightscribe DVD burner.

    Well..that is a common problem for users who use Memorex...Exercise NOT USE THEM! Try Verbatim, Sony, Taiyo Yuden,etc. If you burned the game to these discs and its still showing a grayish/distorted prototype...then you might demand to adjust your laser...

    The reason I used Memorex was because when I bought the modded Cube with Qoob Pro it came with 5 games all burned on Memorex, and all work fine.

    I've as well employ Verbatim though and haven't had luck either.
