The simplest way to tell which mode a Gamecube uses, is power button with no disc inserted. Some Japanese games have compatibility issues when run under English setting. Are there any other concerns I should have? Is there a save data issue? For some reason I thought that I've read that playing a Japanese Gamecube using American save data will cause corruption issues.

Hide Texts: Shows only the background screen while booting. The Qoob video mode is for the Qoob chip menu. But some games might not work, so it's a trial and error basis. This option enables you to "Force" 480p (using the gamecube component cable) on some games that originally doesn't have this support (Resident Evil 2 and 3, for example). Video Mode Game and Qoob: that's the reason i modded my Q. IGR: Inside Game Reset, press the combination to reset back to the modchip's menu (if i remember correctly) Streamfix: Some time Ago, some games had garbled sounds on their ISOs, this fixes it.ĭRE Workaround: Force retries on DREs, but it won't make miracles if you're using a bad disc.ĭisc Swap Support: Supports for ingame disc swapping. The Disc Check function is almost useless, as it almost aways gives DRE when checking, even if it is a genuine gamecube disc inside it. ![]() Since you're using the Qoob Pro, there is a way to put custom Backgrounds on the main menu, you can use the old qoob App to write into it's Flash (i heard you can also write DOLs to work with it Straight away) (Did it with my Girlfriend's custom Darth Vader Gamecube). I don't remember perfectly, but the boot modes A e B is an option to try if a game is giving too much DRE messages. There are a lot of options, and I'm not sure what they all do. Now my question is can somebody explain the Qoob Main Menu. Got it working perfectly, barring some other random ribbon cable error, like the c stick on the controller 4 or something cryptic like that doesn't work. I hate ribbon cables! They break down too easily. Again the damn ribbon cable attached to the disc drive wasn't perfect. Fixed that, then got an Error Drive not recognized. First time I couldn't get the the Qoob Bios to advance past please wait, but I noticed the blue LEDs around the controller ports weren't coming on, the ribbon cable attached to it was a little off. The solder pads are just like the gamecube ones. On the other way, there is the Xeno GC, wich there is a point on the drive motherboard that the Xeno will fit perfectly, just like the Q motherboard, but i don't know if it would work as i haven't tested. Maybe sometime in the future i might give it a chance. I couldn't give it the right research, but there might be a way to make it work, i just don't want to open it anymore, it's really a beast to open it up to the GC motherboard already. And it will always give you a "Check lid switch wire!" message before running the disc that is on the drive. the only thing is that you'll need to turn it off/on every time you put a game on the tray for it to load up. Just solder the other points normally and it will work. Since there isn't a "lid" on the Q, only an open/close sensor, it is possible to install the Qoob Without using the Lid cable. Right, there is the cable that connects to the lid sensor. Jamisonia wrote:Could you explain the open close thing to me? I"m modding my Q now with a Qoob Pro, and I have that wire that goes to the eject button I'm not sure what to do with. Lastly, until I get it chipped I was wondering if there are any region free GCN games? Maybe I have some in my collection I could play with. Does anybody know if this is the case with the Q? This isn't as important, but I'm wondering if anybody knows of a way to make the first version region free? I know a lot of DVD players the region code was software based, not hardware based, so all one had to do was access a secret menu then change the DVD region code. Secondly, I know they released a second version that was a region free DVD player. Is there a switchless region mod solution? I'm hoping to be able to play burns too, but being able to play my American GCN games is the most important. I plan on chipping it, and I was wondering what chip would be best. Just picked up a Panasonic Q at MagFest, unfortunately its the version that is locked into Japanese games and DVDs. Hey guys, its been awhile since I've been active here.
