Even with a $5000 machine and (sold separately) mini cd adapter we get mixed results.
Smash Brothers is the worst for some reason.
I called around to some of the manufacturers of the machines and was told that even with the proper equipment Gamecue Discs are still going to be hit or miss. Apparently it has to do with the way the GC discs were made. Definitely the one machine that I would look for good discs on as they seem especially finicky.
It's way easier for a tiny imperfection to ruin a GameCube disc than a regular size DVD-based media.
I don't think so at all. They're the same density as DVD and are surprisingly resilient. None of them are dual-layer so they have that going for them too. It's the drives that are finicky and resurfacing in particular seems to cause issues.
That's certainly true as well. With some machines, such as the bench buffer that many game stores in the Midwest use (including us), it is much easier to get too much heat in GameCube discs due to their small surface area's inability to dissipate heat. Older games such as PS2 and OXbox that didn't use the whole 4.7 gigs sometimes would put the same data in multiple places on the surface in order to still function with scratches. GameCube couldn't do that. GameCubes quit trying to read flawed discs very quickly in order to extend the life of the laser whereas a PS2 will try and try to read a disc for a long time.

What is the best machine for fixing Gamecube.

Good old tubeway. Rip
He's showing banned, but, after looking I couldn't find a post that would of caused it. LOL You have my curiosity. Why the rip?
