I have been having troubles with Soul Calibur 2, with it having stuttering music in some places and often taking a long time to load. So i decided to change the setting on my laser, so i borrowed a mulitmeter of this guy i knew but it only had 4000 ohms setting not the 2000 ohms settin recommened. but ifgured i would just halve my readings. My orignal reading was 437, which halved makes 219. so i treid lowering it to various values below this and thyey alle just seemed to make it worse , with it freezing a couple of seconds into the intro. So i put it back up to 420(210) and it's working again. What i want to know is, will making the value higher make it read better? has this ever happened to anyone. my gamecube is a pretty old DOL-001 (pal) from australia
smaller area selected in multimeter means more accurate. And are u sure it was 4000? 4k? well, even with 4k, it displays accurate enough. and you dont have to split the value in any case. And lowering the value makes laser to use more power, so it kind of reads better, but not. Different medias are rearable with different laser power levels. but i recommend not to set resistance of pot below 100 Ohm. More power means higher change to laser burn out.
so when it says 440 on the display, thats the same as 440 with a 2k mutlimeter. cause even with that I put it down to 220, which I figured was either 220 or 110, and that still didn't work. I'm using Ridata 4x mini's. which on dvdinfo says that they are CMC.MAG.AF1. if anyone has a certain value they set their pot at when using these discs, could you please tell me
First u have to make sure that the burnings work, no broken images, burned at recommended speed if possible, disable "burn-proof" thing. And yes, when multimeter says 440 ohms, resistance of the potentiometer is 440 ohms.
