The Persnicketiness of Discs

- Since this video I managed to make one of the discs work on both the Wii and GameCube by polishing the surface... a lot.
The second disc completely refuses to be loaded on a GameCube.

Today's filler video brought to you by a malfunctioning stovetop
please make a filler video about the broken stovetop. I am at the edge of my seat just hearing about it
^ yeah, this guy gets it ^
For the record I'm not joking. We want a stovetop video!
@@AverageMichaelJordans I'm not gonna re-break the stovetop for a video v:
I noticed you have the same room wallpaper like me
I had a GameCube copy of Sonic Adventure 2 that threw up the "An error has occured" screen so often on GameCube it was virtually unplayable; ususally I had to reboot every level. On Wii, I could play the same disc for hours and never had an issue.
i feel like some random nintendo employee accidentally did something that made that happen, called it an "anti piracy measure" to his boss, and left for the day
can probably get away with a lot of nonsense with that excuse at Nintendo, lmao
Feels like an accidental version of the level-select screen for Sonic 3D Blast.
this is like the third time i've heard the word 'persnickety' used this week wtf
lmao i was watching modern family recently and thats the first time i ever heard it
@@keenansalzsauler5858😂same
Today is the first day I ever heard it
But what does it mean damn it
@@TimurSokol in italian it's pignolo
like when someone is stuck on some ideas and wants everything to be done perfectly in the ways he intends
In this case it's like the GameCube disk it's persnickety because it wants to be run just on that wii refusing to run on the gamecube
Something like that
Ladies and gentlemen, the embodiment of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in its purest form.
Shut up
strange how this happens. bet this is just _fantastic_ to encounter when buying used gamecube games, unless it's rare enough to be a non-issue
There are probably scratches that affect only the other disk drive. Resurfacing them should fix the issue.
These are genuinely some of your best videos no joke
I think it's the music honestly
Just funny in this context
this truly is one of the Persnicketyness of all time
quite Persnickety of you
It was always the exact opposite for me. My Wii wanted nothing to do with my copies of Melee and Luigi's Mansion but my GameCube would read them just fine
Disk racism
and then it was a video about discoveries
oh me oh my!
Oh hey, Yoshi's Story music
Did you try opening up the discs and replacing their capacitors?
There is naught a single unchanged capacitor in a 30 mile radius
Did you try recreating the bumps representing the data?
Good pea-soup-green walls, there.
Would resurfacing the disks help?
I used to have a similar issue before where some disks refused to load either on the wii, or the gamecube for no reason at all, so now I guess this was not just me after all.
I once played the Zelda Collection on a Wii, and the Wind Waker demo would take *forever* to load; it'd eventually load, but it just wasn't worth the wait considering how long it'd take (no less than 5 minutes of loading I think, probably even worse).
Yeah, I dunno why sometimes the consoles will just chug on the disc and keep retrying until they get it, and sometimes they just fail instantly.
Skawo arm reveal!
Lmao
Not the first time
I haven't seen a GameCube that wouldn't start having trouble only a couple of years after it's unboxing and I take really good care of my stuff. My discs are near mint and so are the consoles I have had but all 3 of them had the same issue only a few years after purchase. The odds of an NES reading a cartridge on it's 1st try are much higher than a GameCube with it's discs. I love the GameCube but man does it suck at reading discs.
The capacitors usually need to be changed on the drive board, or the laser has to have its potentiometer adjusted. I've repaired many-a-GameCube by now, and actually haven't seen a single one that required non-off-the-shelf spare parts.
This one has had that done, though, it is actually just the discs that are at fault.
Ah, the reality of living in a world made of randomly-arranged particles. Doesn't matter how good you get at smashing the particles together, the result is still fundamentally random.
I actually got the same "The Disc could not be read." error on a used Wind Waker disc (full version not demo disc). Nintendont can load the disc just fine thouh
"Two identical discs, OK...
The discs work on both, right.
Wait, swapping them? What'll that do?
HUH?! OK?
Well, right, it d- oh come on!"
A script of what I verbally said.
You better make a LEGAL copy of that game.
that's cool
I had this issue w/ my disc for super mario strikers, has issues on gamecube but still has a chance of working, but on wii? unplayable
The game disc lasers can be a bit picky with different copies of the same game. If the disc is working on one drive but the other isn't, then your game disc is running out of time, and somewhere in the data might be getting corrupted.
I have experienced something similar with a DS cart. I have a Super Princess Peach cartridge that has only ever worked in my ds lite. when I try it in my dsi or 3ds, it wont boot, but it loads up just fine on the ds lite.
That sounds like a bootleg cartridge - DSi and 3DS have extra fake cartridge detection code.
This fuels my paranoia about physical.
Wow I always thought the game cube was more lenient with reading discs. Scratched ones at least
Interesting 🤔
GameCube: da f*** is dis s***?!
What an interesting outcome! I was expecting the Wii to read both disks. Also, could you please share the background music?
Baby Koopa's Castle from Yoshi's Story
the laser pot on the cube can be adjusted to make reads more consistent, & the discs are different. surprise surprise, a system from many years later has newer components. there's no mystery here
Where have I implied there was a mystery?
Just showing off a thing I encountered :v
@@Skawo you can't fool me; i'm onto you with your whimsical bgm & video title. it wouldn't be worth "showing off" if the prospective audience wasn't somehow perplexed or intrigued
Just because there is no mystery why it happens doesn't mean it can't be interesting to someone :v
Personally, while it not reading in the GameCube was nothing new, the fact the Wii couldn't read a disc and it worked just fine in a GC, and the fact it's consistent between several different consoles _was_ a bit surprising.
As for the BGM, I use this BGM in most of my IRL videos
@@Skawo ok, no worries lol
What's that thing connecting the GameCube to an ethernet cable? Some sort of custom LAN adapter or something?
ETH2GC
Thanks! Was really curious as to what it was.
Why is this happening
I have a heavily damaged copy of Twilight Princess for GameCube. It will load on GameCube, but every time I enter a loading zone I have to open the disc cover and close it to force the console to scan the disc again. Sometimes I have to do it multiple times.
The Wii does not have this problem. Better hardware, perhaps?
Wii lasers are just naturally less picky.
Which's why it's surprising that this one disc worked in a GC and not a wii.
The Wii is just an overclocked Gamecube with additional memory, iirc
While that's true on some level, the actual components that go into a Wii and a GC are very different.
Huh, TIL.
What about the other way around, my Wii stopped reading both of my copies of Melee and worked fine on a GCN

I just thought it was neat
When I used to try and fail to load Project M on my Wii, my Wii began being unable to read my Brawl disc. No scratches, no smudges, the disc drive worked perfectly and still does. No idea why it started doing that.
The early Wii drives had their pots turned up a bit too high and if the lens got a bit dusty they would stop reading dual layer discs - Nintendo even released a specific cleaning kit for this.
@@Skawo That adds up lol, I specifically made sure I got a gamecube compatible wii back when I got one in 2015
Why tho...
Also, does anyone know where i could go to lean about possibly saving my corrupted memory card? Search engines are too terrible these days.
What's the background music? I recognize it, but I'm not familiar enough to place it.
Yoshi's Story, Castle Theme.
Yep, this makes sense, totally.
Wtf you better back up those discs quickly before they disintegrate
And persnickety was the videogame!
I don’t get it… does the pal version affect it at all? Also how the hell is a Wii running a GameCube disc without modifying it?
No, it being PAL does not affect it, I only mentioned it so no one would say it's due to region locking.
Old Wiis can run GameCube games.
Hey can you do Antonblast on November 12
why
It a wario land in inspired game and others and fun exploshon
@@luilong3083 I know that, but why November 12?
Does it come out then?
It was in the indie world direct on apr 17
it does indeed come out on nov 12
How long did you spend on Thesaurus before finding the word 'persnicketiness'?
Not a single moment.
@@Skawo
Then where does one POSSIBLY encounter the word 'persnicketiness' in life???
Seriously what books are you reading???
what the hell is this Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy ripoff in the background? it's driving me insane!! absolutely bonkers, that is
It's the castle theme from Yoshi's Story on the N64.
I just avoid GameCube discs altogether. Way too much of a headache.
i had this same issue but after i replaced the capacitors in my gamecube the disc worked
This GameCube already has replaced drive capacitors.
