  • 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.

    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 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).

    • @Skawo

    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.

    • @Skawo
      @Skawo  21 день тому +3

      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.

    @danielguevara2446 20 днів тому

    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.

      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.

    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?

    • @Skawo
      @Skawo  25 днів тому +10
