Potential Bogus Driver Error Detected

[choogiesaur]

hey y'all so I've been trying to burn some gamecube games in .iso format and getting mixed results: 
- one went through fine in imgburn, and didn't boot in the (modded) system.
- one got a similar set of errors to below, and during the Verify phase it kept getting a popup error saying there was a mismatch. this however burned all the way and even appeared to load up fine on the gamecube

- The one I'm trying now got the Potential Bogus Driver error, same as second one, except this one is now stuck at 65% and is not progressing. Below is the log and a screencap of where it's stuck at.

Try using something other than cheaper DVD media.  Try the DataLife Plus/AZO discs made by Verbatim.  NOT the Life Series you find in stores.

 

I 17:22:36 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: RITEKG04  01)

 

The above generally indicates a lesser quality brand of recordable DVD.  Some might work fine, some might not.  That's the nature of cheaper quality media.

 

It's the first thing I'd try.  Try using Verbatim DataLife Plus/AZO discs you can only find online.

 

Granted, I've never seen a Possible Bogus Driver error detected before, so it could be something else.

Check (and perhaps replace) the cable / port the drive is attached to. If you're getting CRC errors with the transfer of data to/from the drive, something isn't right somewhere.

@dbminter - forgot to mention I'm using mini dvd-r - they are branded Fujifilm and were quite expensive (though most mini dvd's are now) - and for gamecube I hear RITEK is the brand to go with, but I will try and get my hands on some different media

@LIGHTNING UK! - that's a bit unsettling - I'll try jiggling/unplugging and replugging the wires

thank you both!

I'm not familiar with mini DVD-R or burning GameCube games.  The actual media you use for burning game discs doesn't matter, but the drive you use CAN.  I'm not entirely sure if it applies to GameCube games, but I know you need special drives and loaders for XBox games.  So you may need a particular type of burner like a LiteOn for GameCube games, though I believe it's XBox games that are so picky.
