Author Topic: What happens when you put a Gamecube/Wii/Similar disk into a computer CD drive?  (Read 6095 times)

I Googled it, but got no serious answers

It might get stuck, or get scratched/broken.

what happened to "try it yourself?"


I wish I could put the Metroid Prime Trilogy in my disk drive and I could still use the Wii remote to play.

This.

And if it doesn't break something, it will just read like a normal disc.

I think it just treats the disk file as unknown. Open with emulator.

Miniature CD's are able to work with computers. Just place it into the middle of the disk tray, and close the CD drive.
But it's probably formatted in a format your PC can't read without an emulator.

Because that could result in it getting broken which is why I asked first

Obviously mini cds will be perfectly fine, just look at the Bionicle mini-cds. I still have all 6 Bohrok Kal mini CDs lol.

Gamecube disks are made backwards so you can't read them with the computer. You have to mod your gamecube so it sends the disks data to your computer.

This happend at my school before.

My friends stuck up 2 disks up a cd drive and both of them fell off the drive inside.

The teacher did not even noticed until she tried to eject them and had to be fished out.

No one got in trouble.

Without the right tools, nothing.

I've actually tried this before, my computer locked up for about five minutes, hit the eject, and it came out.
