I know the GC doesn't read very well. It has poor media support, but you can fix it with a laser tweak. Some say that this doesn't improve the readability of the supported discs but only improves the media compability, but some disagree. It makes me confused and I really need the laser to read better (using Ritek GO4 disc read error every 2-3 hours and certain parts of games). Until now I think it is the only way to make the backups work, but if it is possible to fix the problem in another way please tell me. THX

Ritek GO4 is -. It's the miniDVD but it doesn't make any difference. Verbatim isn't a good brand. It is only the Taiyo Yuden dye which is better than the GO4 and 5 (not all verbatim discs uses the yuden dye). It has nothing to do with the medias (the laser reads like crap). Because you can't get better miniDVD's

As with any brand it all depends on the media code, and not the brand.
Good verbatims are better than ritek disc's these days, ritek have gone down in quality compared to before.
Really good verbatim disc's are the ones with the "MCC 02RG20" code, it's 8x disc's. But basicly any verbatim that is made by MCC (mitsubishi chemicals) is great.

I have two friends that have chipped gamecubes and they both use verbatim disc's (with the media code I wrote above) and every game works flawless. So your suggested brand zion, was a good suggestion Smile
