There is probably a large scratch or a large amount of smaller scratches on your disk. There are repair kits you can use that normally repair the disks enough to play again. If there is no scratch but a lot of smudges, take a fine, clean cloth and rub the bottom gently until it looks clean. A gamecube disc can be used in a Wii console the same way a Wii disc can. Simply insert the disc into the slot and the wii should pull the disc in and read it.

Open the cube while its trying to read the disc, the disc should be spinning listen for the whine sound the motor makes when it spins pop the disk in so that the title is lined up horizontally (or just remember its starting orientation), then try and play the disk, when it give you the error, open the lid and check the orientation of the disk, if it isn't the same as when you closed the lid, it spun. IIRC, the data on the Wii disc is scrambled or something to that effect, so it would need to be scrambled/unscambled when reading the disk initially and writing a backup for play on a Wii. Well the physical limitations of the device are controlled by what areas of the disk are permissible for read/write operations. What type of DVD-R do I use for GameCube backups!? Discussion in 'Wii - Backup Loaders' started by sandwichbars, Jun 29, 2010. As its being read by the Wii disc drive, its being worn out so something that's high quality like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden will do. Burn at lowest speed. Pop the Game Boy Player system disk into the GCN and attach the Game Boy Player to the bottom via the High-Speed Port Connector. Don't worry if you have a GCN Modem or Broadband adapter, they'll work too-you can plug them in and still attach the GBP.

Single Disc

The following steps are for problems with a single Game Disc or if you only own one game. If more than one game is experiencing problems, please link here.

1. Ensure the disc is free of dust and contamination by cleaning it. Clean the disc with a soft, slightly damp cotton cloth (use water only). Clean the disc from center towards the edges; do not use a circular motion. DO NOT use paper.

2. Dry the disc, using a dry portion of the cloth and wiping in the same style as you did in step 1. After all of the water is gone, let the disc sit for at least two minutes to completely dry before inserting it into the Nintendo GameCube.

3. Check for Unlicensed products. Make sure that you're using only licensed products with your Nintendo system. Unlicensed products are not tested for compatibilty and may not work correctly with all games. Try playing the game without the unlicensed accessory.

4. Check for specific game issues. Some games may have known issues or game play elements that appear as problems.

5. Ensure the game is being loaded properly. With the power turned off on the system, replace the Game Disc (label side up) in the system, press down gently on the Game Disc until it locks on the center hub. Close the Disc Cover and press the power button ON to see if the game comes on the screen.

6. Look for obvious physical damage to the disc. Remove the Game Disc and check the non-labeled side for cracks, scratches, smudges, or dirt. The Nintendo GameCube has extensive error correction capabilities and minor scratches or contamination should not cause issues in most cases. However, it is important to determine if disc damage is causing the problem.

• If the disc is cracked
  Review our disc replacement policy to determine how to get your game replaced.

• If it's dirty, scratched, or shows no obvious damage
  

  1. You may try cleaning the disc again with a soft, slightly damp cotton cloth (use water only). Clean the disc from center towards the edges; do not use a circular motion. DO NOT use paper.
  2. Make sure the game is dry, then re-insert it and see if the error occurs again.
  3. If the game had been working normally, shows signs of physical damage, and now displays errors or lockups in areas it previously didn't, the problem is likely to be the damage to the disc. Use the disc replacement policy to determine how to get your game replaced.
  4. If the game never worked or you are discovering errors in areas you have entered for the first time, it is possible that the problem could be with the system or the disc. (The system may still be the problem even if the disc shows some signs of damage.)

7. If possible, try the disc in another Nintendo GameCube. If the disc works properly in another system, the problem is with your Nintendo GameCube. Please click here for more information. If the game still does not work in another system, it is likely a problem with the Game Disc. Please review our disc replacement policy to determine how to get your game replaced.

If you are not able to try the game in another system and the other troubleshooting steps haven't narrowed the problem down, it is impossible to determine for certain whether the problem is the Nintendo GameCube or Game Disc.
