Hi there,

This was my first time at something like this but, I just Softmodded my Wii with your guide and found it so easy!!!!

Everything installed as directed in the instructions.
Then i did some research on backing up my games...

I have backed up super paperr mario using RawDump 2.0 & Nero 8. I have a compatible LG drive to read it (ROM only) but the burner is not compatible to read. I used Sony DVD-R at both 4x and 8x. My problem is that i get a big black line (same as if your frequency is set wrong) in the middle of the screen that splits the game and makes it unplayable - otherwise the game runs fine.

Fixes???
1. Do i need to get Verbatim Discs and burn at 2x??
2. Do i need to get a compatible burner (one that can read through raw dump 2.0)?
3. Am i missing something???

why waste time and money on burned discs. Just go USB external HDD. Buy an external HD and plug it into the back of your wii and install USB Loader GX. Then you can just pop in your game and dump straight to the hd and play it from a list of games with no having to switch discs to play different games. Much better solution than loading burned discs

Fair enough about the external HDD, but i only have 4 games at the moment and i'd like to back them up as they are already quite scratched....not really financial enough to just buy and ex HDD but can afford stuffing around on comp and a few DVD's? any help???

hey i had the same problem with Super Paper Mario and i googled it and it appears that with some games they don't work to well on el-cheapo disks, so i bought some quite good qualtiy expensive disks and it runs perfectly fine :D

i havent done the homebrew loader thing yet tho (becoz my wii is being repaired) but i'd probs go with that because it seems 2 work on almost all games and is very simple and apparently cuts loading time down...SO LESS WAITING YAY!

hope i helped :x

Okay so i fixed the problem!!!

My TV is older and it needs 576i resolution.
I think the default is set to 480i or 480p so therefor i had the black line as the default frequency was wrong.

I set the region settings in the NeoGamma backup program to 576i - no black line and all works well...

Im using sony dvd-r discs at 4x and all is sweet....

Thanks all for your comments...
