#43 Bad Gamecube rips with XenoGC

So I ripped a few games using CleanRip v2.0.0 on my Gamecube chipped with XenoGC.  I used SD Media Launcher to launch cleanrip-gc.dol from a 2gb SD card + adapter.

None of the MD5s matched with the Redump DAT file.  When I copied the ISO to the PC and opened it with an ISO Explorer, it seemed OK, as in the files showed up and looked normal, but when burning to DVD and then loading with the GC it failed every time with an error at start - so clearly the rip was bad.  I even tried re-ripping the same disc and it came up with the same incorrect MD5 each time.

I also tried ripping the ISOs from my un-modded Gamecube and the MD5 matched the DAT file perfectly.  I loaded CleanRip the exact same way as the chipped Gamecube using SD Media Launcher and the same SD card + adapter.

I ripped ISOs using my Wii and the Wii boot.dol and the same discs and they ripped perfectly and the MD5 matched the DAT file like it's supposed to.

Is it possible XenoGC is causing problems with obtaining correct rips?

Came across this:
" Issues with modchips

When dumping GC Games, if you have a Wiikey/Modchip installed, make sure region patching is turned off, especially the "Full GC Regionfree" feature that Wiikey has as it will produce bad rips. "
