Hi all, Hope someone can help. I followed the ultimate guide to softmod my wii, Every time i try to play a disc on the backup channel i get a "This disc could not be read please refer to manufactures manual" message. I restored my wii to factory settings and proceded to use the guide again incase i missed anything, The same thing happened again.
The dvd writers i have tried are :lite-on LH-20A1P and TSSTcorp SH-S223F. The discs i,ve been using are Arita 8 x -R which are GO5 die, I,ve tried writing at 2.4x, 3x and 4x with the same results, I have also used nero and Imgburn with the same results. Also when i reset my wii to factory settings i lost my Opera browser how can i get this back on my wii. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It would help if you gave the link to the guide you used.

What is the manufatcure ID# of the media?

You can find this out by loading a blank DVD in IMGBurn and look in the right side panel for Manufacturer ID: and let us know what it is.

Hi thanks for the response, The guide i used was the one from this forum ( The newest one) also i have managed to instal opera browser and also folloewd the guide from this forum to allow the playing of backups from the disc channel, which has kind of worked i get the game displayed in the disc channel but whe i run it i get a message saying an error has occured please eject the disc and turn off your console, I also get a can not read disc message when i use the backup channel, Imgburn says the disc is Ritek GO5. hope this helps

I did some reading and have read that Arita are supposedly a valu-line of Ritek. I have also read allot of bad reviews on them.

More then likely this is a media issue.

So I would recommend trying some other media.

Verbatim and Tayio Yuden DVD-R are most recommended (do not get valu-line type media of those either).

Thanks for the heads up. Will try the media you suggested, Its a shame about the aritas i,ve used them as my favourite dvd media for a few years now but never used them for wii games although they did work on the old xbox lol :)
