Probs with dc-pc serial cable
 

I'm having some problems with my serial cable...I get the files to send but when i get to a large iso in the middle of the iso i get garbage on the screen...I have tried the ramboost idea and still no prevail...i ##### my ram and i have 256mb PC100 ram and always atleast 128mb free i even set ramboost so that if it goes under 64mb it optimizes it over 128mb...still nothing works...then i have tried to turn all things off running in the backround by running msconfig and turning everything that runs on the startup...I still cant get anything to work...If it is a dc game with more than 1 track i can usually get all the tracks but the last one which is an iso and usually the biggest file...can anybody help me?

I had the same problems, to start with. Make sure you reboot your PC just before ripping, i personally close ALL applications running with CTRL-ALT-DELETE leaving only the bare minimum running.

Also invest in a good CD cleaning kit and try to remove any scratches/marks from the GD ROM before ripping, this worked for me but i'm not saying it's foolproof. If non of the above work i suggest looking at the cable itself.

Happy Ripping..........!!!

thanks but ive tried all that too...and the cable is fine cause it works fine when i rip something on my friends comp...its pissing me off...but im gonna try to put a new harddrive in and put an os on that with no other programs cept ramboost and teraterm and the necessities and see if that works....

lots of people have had trouble but worked fine on others comps. ive never really had a problem with it
