    Did you do a QSB solder or Wire? Check your points.

    Each laser is different and just cause the laser is set to 200ohms does not mean it will work with copied media. Some lasers are much more worn than others.
    I would start dropping the ohms down in small increments like 10ohms and test the game again. I have had some that I had to drop down to 150ohms to get them to read copied media.

    You are also using the cheapest, crappiest discs available.

    Which means the chip is fine, but its the media or laser.

    You should be using something decent quality - if you have a full size lid replacement get some TY discs. If not, some higher end TDK mini dvdr work OK in my experience.

    Not sure what you mean. Mini-DVDs are mini, 8cm discs. Normal are the 12cm kind.

    i use the 8cm ones, i know that there where these bigger cases so you could use normal size dvd discs with it with some gamecube modchips that supported that,but i use the mini verbatim dvd's (8cm)
