i just got this wii and it came preloaded with 4.2u fw, and i followed the 4,2 guide to a tee, with no errors. then i tried to play a backup wii title and i got a disc read error. i am using verbatims at 1x burn dvd-r. even my gamecube backups will not read either, i konw they work because my gamecube plays them flawlessly. i am at a loss, i also cannot get the dvdx to appear on my wii screen, i don't think it actually installed correctly. i am afraid that i have too new a version of wii to successfully softmod it... if anyone else is experiencing this or knows of a solution i would appreciate it..
My friend's wii has the same issue. It was updated to OFW 4.2 and after that i tried to soft mod it the exact same way i softmodded mine. The only difference is that his wont play backups, but mine does. And I checked and he doesnt have the chipset that makes dvd backups unreadable either........
thank you guys for responding.. i think i will return my new wii and try and buy an older used one instead.. no i guess i didn't read all the disclaimers in all sections, you're right larrylje , i suppose nintendo got wise and put dvd players that don't read blanks, cant kill them for being smart.. does anybody think that the newer wii's will be hackable?
iagree with you and by the way i successfully installed usb loader and it read my 1tb western digital external, and i was able to play my iso's from there, and it loaded nice and quick.. i guess i just got frustrated when the discs didn't read, but it ended up a positive in the end, thanks for you're input, i value your expertise larry.. one more question for you though, is there a program that will load gamecube iso's??? thanks in advance
