Hi guys,

anyway, i got this preview demo disk for the gamecube to use on your PC but when i stick the disk in the computer doesnt recognise it.

what do i do???

i place it right in the middle of the tray where the little groove is for minidisks and the disk is clean and all so whats the poblem??

maybe its just slipping out of place when i press the button but i dont know.

If you go to my computer and look in the disk drive, you should see NINTENOGAMECUB... If you see that, then click on it and you should get all the preview footage. If you still don't get anything then consider taking the disk back to where you got it.

Glad NINTENDO have moved with the times and have gone with small disks. The cartridge would not work with gamecubes power :)

And also extremely easy to hold, especially for those with tiny hands.

Yeah, that mini CD is really irritating.

Failing to place the disc in the centre of the tray can cause serious problems - although I haven't been brave enough to find out. I guess Nintendo were trying to reflect the actual size of their game discs to the public.

To whoever wants one of these demo disks, I've got one that I don't want any more. Leave your e-mail address and I'll contact you for a delivery address and mail it to you (for free of course!)

Don't get too excited about the disk though. The video footage is really poor quality, and there isn't a lot more on there, except a bit of info. and some wallpaper for your desktop.

Anyway, if you want one you know what to do!!

Pick them up at an EB store.
I dont know if they are free but i just picked one up and walked out.
Still cant seem to get it working.
I think its too small and wont stay in the groove but ah well.
Im sure the footage thats on it will be somewhere on the net anyway.

Ah well.
