Forums - Nintendo - Game prob

Hey dudes, today I've been playing my GC, and in the middle of the game my game froze and i got a loud beeping sound, had to restart my console, and then got stuck again after reaching the same point. Prob was fixed after cleaning the disc (which is barely scratched). I've also had a prob with another game, that got fixed after cleaning it as well. Does my lens need cleaning as it has probs reading discs that are a little dirty or scratched? if I do, how do I clean it? thanks.

Ah, and the console never head probs reading discs.

Yeah, I think your GameCube needs a lens clean-up... My first GC stopped reading discs after a long time, but I really think it was the motor (?) used for rotating discs that stopped running.

I used to just take a cotton swab and rub the lens gently.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Sorry to hear about your problems.

Aw okay dude, should I use rubbing alcohol to clean it, maybe? If ti doesn't hurt skin, it shouldn't hurt the lens, right? It should completely get rid of the dirt.

 



Metroid Prime actually... :P
I need a serious break from RPG's, that's the genre I've been playing for a year and a half straight, lol.
I'll get to it soon enough, thanks Soriku.

Hmmm, not sure if it's recommended. I just didn't soak it in anything.

I have Metroid Prime, Soul Calibur 2, ToS, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2, and Starfox Adventures... I will buy, as soon as I get the money, F-Zero GX and one of the Baiten Kaitos games.



^ Try Custom Robo. It's an excellent underrated game on the GameCube! ^^

^I will. Seeing it being published by Ninty means quality... besides, you like it, I probably will too.



In any case, I'm off to bed, I'll clean the thing tomorrow.
