tie.nano Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Has anyone encountered or know of error screens appearing when playing your Nintendo GameCube, that tell you that the disc is "damaged", and also suggests you to wipe it with a cloth? Has anyone? I'm just trying to figure out something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I don't think i've ever had a disc error problem. Infact, never had an error with the gamecube. I can't recall there being that many problems, they're pretty soundly built. What seems to be the problem? Scratch on one of the discs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tie.nano Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'm not facing any major problems. Just someone on another forum, has posted a thread about the GameCube, and calling it "crap", because they experienced disc errors. They said that they got error screens saying that the disc was "damaged", and to wipe the disc with a "cloth". It seems pretty suspicious. 'Cause i've never heard of any such error screens appearing on the GameCube. The only problem I have with my GameCube, is that it freezes up. But it's not a real problem. Only happens like once in a blue-moon, Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'm pretty sure no error would tell you to wipe the disc with a cloth.I've definitely never seen an error on any console that said that. He must've got that out of the manual or something. Either that, or he's talking out of his behind. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tie.nano Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Lmfao. This is the guys post: If I offend anybody who likes the Nintendo Gamecube, I'm sorry. I remember when I bought a Nintendo Gamecube back in 2003. I just loved it! I had three or four games and I would play for hours. Then, one day, this stupid window came up saying that the disc was damaged and that I should wipe it with a cloth. After I took the disc out and wiped it accordingly, I put it back in and started playing with no problem. But, after only one week, it came back up. This would continue for a few months before I finally had enough and threw out the Gamecube. Let's just thank God for Microsoft and X-Box. Did anybody else have problems like this with their Gamecube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shino Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 That guy is talking bullshit, DRE's NEVER say your disc is damaged or to wipe it with a cloth. NEVER. Edit: DRE's = Disc Read Errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ninja0 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 That guy is talking bullshit, DRE's NEVER say your disc is damaged or to wipe it with a cloth. NEVER. Edit: DRE's = Disc Read Errors That.

nekunando Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 The only problems I have had with my Gamecube is that it has frozen a few times (and only a few times, it's not a major problem), and about twice it has came up on screen telling me there is a problem and I should consult the Consumer Informations and Precautions Booklet. It worked after restarting on both ocassions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Once I have had a problem with an error message with Smash Bros. And then once more with Crystal Chronicles, we had just collected the third drop, gone through all the crap, new miasma streams were shown, then, click, click, click, click... "Please restart the Nintendo GameCube and ensure the disc is correctly inserted". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I had some "errors" while playing Metroid Prime.. until I thought.. ok.. maybe it isnt such a good idea to have things blocking the air intake on the GameCube.. since then nada problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 have had freezes. and im sure that ive had a disc error on eternal darkness.... Yeah, I remember getting my only blue screen o death on my GameCube while playing Eternal Darkness, too. Must be something up with that game. As for being told to wipe the little discs with a cloth, not once have I been told that by the GameCube, nor in the instruction books for that matter. The guy must be a loon, and is trying to hurt the Cubes fair image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Sometimes Freeloader fucks up a game's sound or screen positioning, but I've rarely had disc-read errors on my GameCube. A couple of freezes now and again, but nothing exceptionally noteworthy. I've had more freezes on my Xbox 360 than my GameCube, and I've had my GameCube about 10 times as long as my 360.

Emasher Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 when i rented smash bros melee from blockbuster (soon after i got my cube) the disc was all scratched up so as soon as it got past the cube logo screen i got an error message saying the disc could not be read (i now own smash bros melee and i'm going to get brawl as soon as it comes out).

The Bard Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Noop. Surprisingly, Cube's the only console I have with which I have never encountered a disk error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babooo Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Only recently I got a first Disc Read Error....it happened when I was playing mulitplayer Smash Bros and then suddenly the screen went black and said that the disc couldn't be read....But I think its because I've had my copy of SSBM since it first launched so its pretty scratched up. Other than that, no, I haven't had many DRE's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 hmmm if your game dosent work any mor tru cleaning it (unfortunatly when i did that with the rental (about 5 times) it still did'nt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I got a disk read error with SSBM, because I lent it to someone and they completely messed it up, but it never said anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorrit Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I've gotten one DRE with my 'Cube, I'd just bought RE4 and played for like 5 minutes, and I tought fuck, the disc is damaged and the store is now closed :/ But fortunatly it hasn't happened since.

GigaPlay Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I've gotten DREs a few times. Nothing a wipe with my shirt couldn't fix. I'm sure all of them are from me leaving them out to gather dust for too long while I played something else, or dropping them on the floor a few times. =P It never once told me to wipe it with a cloth.

djamb3 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I had one disc error, one freeze and two memory card error (telling me to format but I hadn't done anything to that appear) However, a friend of mine had a great problem that made the GC not recognise the discs, but we complained and they fixed it. Now that error simply doesn't exist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
