Re: Burning DVDs

Do you have a link to the discs you bought? It could be the type of disc you got. Because you are able to see a difference between your burned and non-burned discs, I would say this is unlikely (its called burning for a reason) but maybe you bought re-writable discs? Re-writable discs require a different laser and will not work on the gamecube.

The more likely explanation is either you burned the disc incorrectly, or your xeno is not properly installed/pot needs to be adjusted more. Try following these directions for burning https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-do-i-burn-gamecube-disks.590639/post-9513576 (or these more detailed directions https://technology.purplepedia.com/nintendo/how-do-you-burn-gamecube-games/ ), and checking the xeno/pot.

It is worth noting though that burned discs *will* kill your laser faster than official discs. If you are able, I would recommend getting an ODE (supposedly a 512gb sd card can hold the entire scrubbed romset) or play your "backed up" gamecube games on a hacked wii instead

Hey Guys, I recently got a physical Nintendo GameCube to play games on, and I've been trying to burn discs to allow it to play physical games on it since playing on an actual console feels better than playing through Dolphin Emulator. However I've run into a problem, whenever I try to play the disc the GameCube won't read it, this is despite me having a Xeno modchip installed and lowering the resistance of the POT in the GameCube itself. the console reads official discs perfectly fine, even after adjustment, so the only idea I have for it going wrong is the actual burned disc itself. Looking at my burned discs compared to my unburned ones, the bottom side edges of the burned ones are dark blue while the inside is the regular blueish color that the unburned discs normally look like. Do I have to reburn my discs?
