Ok, there are over 100 pages and I'm not reading all that.

So hopefully someone can help me out.

I searched for the LG drives, but they are not sold anymore.

I am wondering if there are any other DVD drives that can read wii games? What drives are available now that do this.
I want to install Homebrew on my wii.
Buy the wii games I want, back them up, and bam!

Thanks in advance.

OK I have a backup playing problem that I can't resolve after numerous searches (here and elsewhere).

I am trying to get a backup to load on my wii (homebrew, backup launcher, and neogamma all installed). I have firmware 4.1

I made the iso of madden 08 using dvd dumper 1.2 and had no problem burning the iso to disc using both nero and imgburn.

So here is where things go wrong...I put the disc in the Wii and load backup launcher (or neo gamma, same problem for both). The disc spins up and the screen flashes black then green, and then the white warning screen comes up (the one that shows the hand holding the wii remote (the same one that comes up for every game)).

The system locks up at this point and I have to do a hard reboot to get it going again.

Any suggestions on what is going wrong? Does the game iso for this game need to be patched before burning?

Hello,

Do I need to get these special drives to burn ISO image of a game that I got off the internet or can I burn this ISO on a regular drive using Nero?

Also, do I need to download ISOs for ntsc format only since i'm in the US or can I get any ISO and play on my wii that I am planning to mod using the 4.1 guide by larry.

Thanks,

Hello,

I am pretty good at following directions but am still stumped. Modded my Wii with DriveKey X4 (easy install - is there any way to tell that it installed correctly?), ordered a LG drive from foundmy.com, used rawdump to grab the DVD data, used IMGBURN to make the DVD (made sure the file size was exact based on first post), used 1x burn speed and have tried +R and -R.

Unfortunately, the Wii doesn't recognize the burned DVD's. Tried 3 different games on -R and one on +R. The -R DVD's turn the screen black and tell me to reset my Wii by powering it off. The +R just gives me a "Wii cant read the disk" screen.

My originals still play fine. Almost looks like the DriveKey isn't working?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

dave

Try burning at 4x with imgburn on the DVD-R. The wii for some reason reads DVD-R better than DVD+R

If you do use DVD+R, you need to make sure the BOOKTYPE in imgburn is set to DVD-ROM. Certain drives, imgburn will do this for you, but not always.
