Hi,
I'm a beginner to this world so greatly appreciate if someone helps me get started with my Wii console US version.
I downloaded Mario Party ISO file that has the following name [Wii]Mario_Party_8[PAL][MULTI5][ESPALWii.com] in a WinRAR format. I then burned ISO file (size 4.3GB) using IMGBURN to a DVD but my Wii console is not recognizing and giving error message
"unable to read the disc
check the wii operations manual for help troubleshooting"
I first burned onto a DVD+R, then onto HP DVD-R & finally on Verbatim DVD-R but with no luck.
I also verified that Wii version is up-to-date.
Could someone help me what I need to do to play downloaded games with the process of burning them.
Is there a good place to download ISO games that are reliable?
Do I need to look for any particular formats of the games while downloading so I could burn successfully?

Thanks for looking into this & looking forward for a reply.

That sounds like my exact problem as well. Well put! Only sometimes I can get into the game very briefly, and then I get the error...

---

It's seems like all 3 of us are having the same problem. i get the same exact error message when putting in burnt DVDs , even a config 1.2 disc that i orginally changed my wiikey with to play imported games. and my wii still plays my imported games, just not burnt anymore ;_;

All i can say is since i read an earlier message i bought an lg-8164b off ebay($52au including delivery) and they are now going for double-triple the price. have downloaded rawdump and have had not one failure except for mario galaxy which required a wiikey update. dump with raw dump, burn image with nero(at 4X) then play. No probs!!. Thanx from oz i now have over 80 games and still going!!

I know! This is a duplicate post, I didn't know how to delete the other one, so sue me! I installed all the above mentioned software and have the following error...

When I tell RawDump to "Start Dump" it detects the wii disc and then gives me the following error:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

Under the details tab I get the following:

See the end of this message for details on invoking

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

For example:

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


If I tell it to continue, it Says "Getting DVD Name and just sits there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Nope, that statement is not true.

It's your media, most likely. If it were a PAL issue, it wouldn't say "can't read", it would show up in the channel, and then go black after you start the game.

Ah i have that problem, when i burn a dvd something simple like the latest wiikey config disc, my wii will show that its a gamecube game, but when i hit play it goes black and then says somethings broken and to restart you wii.


So what do you think the problem could be? I remember using the same exact type of DVDs when i burnt my first wiikey config and it worked. same DvD burner on my laptop.
