    I got two GameCube games that have a GCM file.

    I have no idea on how to burn them, so can someone please explain :(

    Sorry for being such a noob, I can't help it right now :p

    Just change the .GCM to .ISO, then burn them. That simple. :)
    It really does work. I do it all the time.

    I don't hope dad gets angry because I use too many discs :p

    You can just use that Multi ISO game maker that I gave you. That works wonders if you're low on discs.

    haha we share them. Mom "needs" (yes really NEEDS) movies, dad...well...never uses them, and I use them for GC games.

    I do most things via USB, SD or anything else that can be PLUGGED into the Wii.
    Only GC games cannot be played using one of those things (Slot A/B, USB, SD slot, etc.).

    'Cmon, are ya that broke? I got a 100 pack of Good Quality DVD5s the other day for $20. XD

    For older consoles, from the PS2 down, I find that it's either a better idea (or just plain necesary) to use discs due to low external drive compatibility, or just no external drive port. For new stuff, though...

    I'd probly still stick to discs. Unless I had a drive several terabytes big and a high-compat loader.

    Oh, and what was the mibs-to-blocks rate again? It's been a long time since I had a GC and I had a 161 block card...i think. 100-something, anyway.)

    You don't need to change the file name with img burn, it runs gcm files fine.

    I like having ISO's better then GMC's :p

    ISO sounds rapid, GMC sounds like gamec...

    Wow, nice. 50 verbies costs $21 here, plus 6% sales tax.

    I use memorex. It's good enough and every ps2 image I burn to em works.

    They work all the same, if your using img burn then there is no need to change the name...

    It won't open GCM files here using ISO burning.

    Write img to disc option works fine for me.

    It doesn't here.

    I tried it and my Wii gave a "An error has occured" black screen, even after cleaning the disc.
