[Question]: Loud click and initialise dvd after picoboot installation

[DorDur215]

Describe your question

Ok so today I installed picoboot into my gamecube.

Everything is working great but I've noticed everytime I turn on my gamecube it does a loud click and says "initialise dvd" for a while then the video cuts out for a second and then im in the swiss menu.

I do not have a disc inserted at all.

This does not happen when I leave the disc drive door open.

This never happend with other swiss booting methods (action replay disc, xeno modchip) as far as I remember.

Is this normal behaviour? Can I somehow make it stop doing that?

Also I still have my xeno modchip installed on the disc drive in addition to picoboot. Could that be the issue?

A loud click is unusual. The video cutting out is normal if your video mode setting differs from the default.

Ok so I found out when I phisically move the laser to the inner end of the rail and then start the gamecube it doesn't click.

When I reboot the gamecube after that without moving the laser again it clicks again.

So for the click to not happen I have to move the laser to the inner part of the rail before every boot. I will obviously not do that since it's propably not healthy for the disc drive.

And both the click and the "initialise dvd" don't happen when I leave the lid open.

I mean in the grand scheme of things it's not really that big of a deal but it's kinda bothering me :/

Unfortunately for as long as the GC Loader exists, there's no alternative.

For the record, picoboot or not, the original menu would do this exact same thing too. Something has to initialise the disc drive and unfortunately hard hitting the laser to a fixed position is what the drive does when you ask it to reset.
