Hey all. I have been reading this forum for about an hour and I am getting a little tired so I will ask my question about my Wii problem. I apologize in advance if this was answered previously.
First, my Wii mod. It is a Wiikey ver 1. Last year it was modified and the games worked awesome. From time to tome, the games will not worked and all I did is reset the Wii and put the game in. I also found that sometimes when starting w/ the Wii w/ a burnt game, the Wii did not like it. I started with an original game for a few minutes and then inserted a burnt copy and it worked. I left for 6 months and when I came back I burnt some more games. Now what i did is semi-bricked my Wii for not being aware of what I did. Thru the forums, I managed to unbrick it and update my Wiikey and also performed a Wii update, which I am running on 3.4U as of now.
The problem no is that the when I put a Wii games in, the Wii menu reads it no problem. I start the game and sometimes it goes further than other times, but after a few minutes it says it "cannot read the disc, check your operator manual for instructions", it does it on all my disks.
What is weird is that 2 days ago, I played Guitar Hero 4 no problem, I tried it again, and it gave me the read error message.
My questions are: If the Wii reads the disk at first, does that mean that the Wiikey is working correctly?
I am also burning on a generic brand of DVD. I know people will say that I should use a specific brand, and that after a while the disk will corrupt. It was working before with the same exact set-up, why does it have problem to read the disk now. Especially if it reads it and then will stop working at a certain spot after a few minutes, never to the same spot, meaning sometimes I will get as far as the game menu and sometimes I will even start playing the game.
I am thinking that my laser might have got weaken.
By the way, I can play original games without a glitch.
If someone will be nice enough to read this and maybe guide me toward the right direction, it will be appreciated. I will try the Verbatim disk to see if it resolve my problem. I am also using wiiblocker to burn games now.
Thx for the reply Dailun. I tried another DVD with IMGBRN this time and guess what, it works. I am buying some Verbatim DVD-R tomorrow and going with that.
