Gamecube Can Pot Be Too Low to Read Games

Hullo there.

I institute this forum via emu_kidid weblog

I take a Gamecube model dol-101 with Xeno Scrap, I play games with Cursor 12cm DVDs. But the problem is when the game throw me a DRE, manifestly i have to adjust the POT, but the multitester throw me values zippo to do with the real value of the POT.

Here is a picture taken recently:

Equally you lot can see, the resistance value is on 2000 ohms, and the POT value is 050. I've bougth the mulstitester in a electronic store very cheap.

Is at that place a solution????

PS: I'm going to buy another multitester, but i don't have money right now D:

Your Gamecube POT is at 50ohms. What you demand to sympathise is that when you set up your multimeter to 2000Ohms, information technology's not going to change the POT value, but rather 2000Ohms means that for values up to 2000, evidence them equally they are and anything higher, show it as the number divided by 1000 (so 3000 Ohms will be 3K).

If the Gamecube is having trouble reading the discs and the POT is really at 50ohms, I might suggest that you buy some better media (Ritek G05 - white printable top), make clean the laser lens, or buy a new(er) laser and use it to replace yours.

P.S. to actually change the POT value, you use a something like a phillips head screwdriver and physically turn POT on the PCB.

If the Gamecube is having trouble reading the discs and the POT is really at 50ohms, I might suggest that you buy some better media (Ritek G05 - white printable superlative), make clean the laser lens, or buy a new(er) light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation and apply it to replace yours.

P.S. to really modify the POT value, you employ a something similar a phillips head screwdriver and physically turn POT on the PCB.

Cheers for the fast answer. I know basic electronic, because i've inverse the value of the POT earlier. I saw videos that says how to arrange correctly the POT with the multitester at 2000Ohms. I've trying, but ever throw me an incorrect value.

I have cleaned the lens before but was a fourth dimension that my Gamecube died for playing backups and never tweaked the POT.

But well, I'll keep trying.

PS: Pitiful if my english is bad, im from Republic of chile, we talk spanish.

I heard that going below 100 ohms is very very bad for your laser, if it even so works try scaling it upwards to 111 ohms (my perfect spot).

I'd once asked the xeno author and he said even going to 0 ohms won't harm information technology. Accept you ever heard of a laser "dying" from people putting the pot also low and reading GOOD media? Information technology's the bad/inexpensive discs that will kill it not the low resistance.

that means TDK mini dvd'southward tin be added to good media
and try to find a guide to modern the pot (mod-scrap.com has various guides along with each scrap they have for sale), there yous know on wich spot you need to connect the multimeter to to see the resistance. (sorry for my bad english I'm not completely awake yet :p)

@emu_kidid I heard the gamecube can read dvds burned on 52x if yous put the pot ridiculesly(I recall) low, but is that save? I heard information technology is save to burn down it too low, only not to high.

I did non even know that it is possible to fire DVD with 52x... CDs yes but DVD...?

I guess they're effectually somewhere, don't look them to be cheap tough :p

Simply read at the german wikipedia that 24x is the maximum.

TDK CMDR14G-CAF WM1B-066 120
are crap nothing merely DRE's effort RE0 or Eternal Darkness you lot'll shortly find out.
If your called-for whatever mini DVD quicker than 4x expect problems, any these are fix to burn down at 2x only

1. 52x DVD writers do non exist and there are no discs rated at that speed. 52x CD writers on the other hand, do.
2. Utilise a skilful DVD author.
3. Burn discs at the rated speed.

I take had no bug with a practiced DVD writer burning expert media at the speed it was rated for. I employ full size Verbatim DVDs burned at 16x and my Gamecubes read them fine.

Yeah, full sized discs are better supported in full general.
