Dumping GC games

parasite64 · 03-13-2011, 08:58 PM #1

Hey everyone! Just been having some issues with dumping some of the Gamecube games that I own to my computer. I had to downgrade the DVD drive that I had (which didnt work with RawDump 2.0 or 2.1), to my old computer's DVD drive (I kept the case, and the parts). Anyhow, my old DVD drive is a HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-8000 (in rawdump is says 'HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-8000 0100') so, I know it's not on the official list, however, when I do run RawDump 2.0/2.1, I click start dump, it starts, and a few seconds later, it gives me a message saying 'Arithmetic overflow'. Anyhow, I think the drive is read, because it says it detects a Gamecube Disc, whereas the other drive when it failed, showed a Wii Disc (even though it was a Gamecube disc). Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone could help me? I've tried Friidump, but didnt have any luck there!

Thanks in advance!

The drive is probably not supported.

There are just a handful of drives, 4-5 LG's and 1 pioneer if I recall correctly (but there might be some others).

I use LG-8162b but all other newer drives I've tried, simply do not work.

Yes, I have; version 3.0 and 4.0; but still no luck. I've just ordered GDR-8263B 0D20 (which from the picture looks like a 0020, and the seller has said it reads Wii and Gamecube Disks), so I can NOT wait till I get that Smile

I have an obsolute ton of Gamecube games that I'll be able to play and test! Hopefully I can help out with compatibility lists or something!
