20 Most Recent Nintendo GameCube Console - Page 8 Questions & Answers

I don't think so. The Gamecube disk tray is specialized for Gamecube discs, which are pretty small compared to regular game discs. Also, the Nintendo Gamecube graphics are modeled by ATI. Maybe some hardcore modding to your Gamecube, and it could work, but I have no idea for sure. Im not sure anyone had ever accomplished this, so honestly, you're going to know what you're doing to accomplish this. I know I wouldn't.

Your Gamecube reader lens may be dirty. Take some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip and rub it lightly and carefully on your Gamecube lens. If this does not work, it could be your Gamecube discs. Sometimes Gamecube discs can get worn out, and no longer work. Another possibility is the reading lens is completely broken. You will have to buy a Nintendo Game Bit tool to open your Gamecube, and replace the lens with a new lens that you will have to buy. I hope this helped.

Something might be wrong with your Nintendo Gamecube as a whole. I'm not totally sure. I've heard of Gamecubes working, but the fan is broken, but the other way around, that's a bit strange. If you can post some more information, can you tell me if the Gamecube actually turns on to the point where it says "No Disc", or it just doesn't even show a picture when you hit the power button.

I would suggest cleaning the lens firstly. Use some rubbing alcohol and a qtip, clean the lens inside the disc slot and then use another qtip to clean out all of the other nooks and crannies in the slot. I would also suggest hitting it with a couple blasts of canned air. This video gives you a good idea of what you need to do:

What you are trying to do is run your GameCube into the component hookups into the TV. What I would do first is lay out the five plugs on the end of the cord without them crossing over eachother. There should be a red plug directly next to the white one. The red one and the white one are both your audio hookups, plug them into the audio connections on the TV (that is the L and R ones and they are color-coded). The other three (green, blue, and the other red one) are the ones that are used to display the picture. Green goes into Y, Blue goes into Pb/Cb and Red goes into PrCr (again, the connections and the inputs on the TV are color-coded to make it easier). With that you should be able to play the system. If that doesn't work, make sure the red ones are in the correct place. Good luck!

Here is a video on how to do it step by step.

Well its because that there is something wrong with you v cube like the part that reads the disc's are gone now or is weak so it would need a new reading laser.

There are not many stores that sell GameCube games anymore because they do not cost much.

You can find them online at reputable stores such as Amazon:

Well it might mean that either the disc's are dirty or scratched at a point were the console had troubles reading them or if it works fine on a different system it means that there is an internal issue with your console.

Is the power cord fully connected? I've found they tend to come loose and then they won't turn on.

You're not very clear about why you cannot get the GameCube to play, but if I may assume, it sounds as though your TV does not have the necessary input to get the game cube plugged into it.

If this is correct, you can find an RF Adapter which will work on Any TV with a coaxial (cable) input. If your TV doesn't have the red, yellow, white inputs, this will work for your gamecube and your TV:

well, replace the fan, for a conventional computer fan.

If all your other games work, the disc couold be scratched or dirty. First, try to clean the disc with a dry microfiber cloth, wiping away from the center. Next, you can try a CD repair or cleaning kit. If all else fails, try to return the disc as a defective product.

The easiest way to get an instructional booklet for Crash Tag Team Racing is to take your copy into a Gamestop and ask to switch it with another copy that has the booklet with it. Gamestop is very laid back and should have any issue doing this for you.

Here is a link to Amazon.com, where there are plenty of Game Cubes to be bought!

my game cube will play all my games but paper marioand ive cleaned the disk and the lens but it still doesnt play it says theres no disk

Hello renee and welcome to FixYa. There are usally two reasons why this commonly happens. Firstly the disc you are trying to use is dirty. Using water or a lens cleaning solution clean your disc followed by drying with a microfiber or other soft cloth and wait until totally drying before reattempting. If this does not solve your problem you may have a dirty laser lens which thankfully is easy to access on the particular console. You will need to wipre the laser lens under the disc cover using the same method I mentioned to clean the disc. My son owns a GameCube as well and this has been the issue everytime. I hope I was of help to you and good luck.
