MAUI:

Thanks a lot for your help. As of now my WII is NTSC and I just patched the game with region free and still have the same results. I don't know if I can change the settings on my TV from 60 to 50 hz or wathever... but anyway thanks a lot for your help... If you think I can do anything else let me know please. I have not used Brickblocker yet, I was gonna try it also.

Thanks.

To change your tv settings from 50hz-60hz or visa versa. You go to the (Wii settings menu) and then (TV Settings). It gives you the option to change between either settings.
You dont have to change the actual TV settings, just the TV settings on the Wii system.
Check the Wii compatibility list first though to see if your game will work or not prior to downloading it.

Hi all 1st time posting here, i have done every thing the "HOW to backup WII GAMES.(guide)" says step by step and it only seem to work about 50% of the time is that normal it will run fine till about 3/4s of the way and then get stuck but other games will rip fine any ideas ? the cds have no scratches or anything.

Mine does the same thing but when I open the file with IMGBURN, it is in iso format so I just burn and all is well.


On another note. Can anyone share how to back up a DL wii game like super smash brothers brawl. From what I am reading in other threads the LG drives can't dump the game. Can anyone explain how to back the game up or any other dual layer wii game.

It is a faqt that USB 1.1 is much slower than USB 2.0 So that might be the explanation for your problem with the Laptop

Wii + Wiikey = WiiFun :P

Hi,

I have succesfully copied wii games in the past onto a modded pal wii. When doing this for Super Mario Galaxy I get 'Error#001,
Unauthorised device has been detected'! Can anyone help in solving this problem? One more, some of the games show a black screen after the inital wii menu & then stalls the wii! Sorry I'm new to all this but it is getting frustrating.

Have you tried cleaning the disk and redumping. I had a problems with a few of my games. I cleaned them and when I redumped I watched the time couter and if it fluctuated up and down, I would close the program and clean the disk again and retry. I noticed that if my disks are scratched or dirty I have trouble when I try and dump the game.

If you have a WiiKey (modchip) you need to upgrade the chip. Look for Wiikey 1.9g

Thanks Guys,

I will clean the discs & redump c if that works. I don't know what chip I have in the wii but will find out. Does an update require a new chip to be installed?

No, the update is burned to a dvd, then the updated is applied to the modchip.

Go to (http://wiki.gbatemp.net/index.php?title=Wii_Region_Patcher_Compatibility_List)

Then go to the (Wii Region Patcher Compatibility List: PAL.) as my wii system is PAL- and it tells you which NTSC and Japan games can be patched to PAL and work.
If you system is NTSC or Japanese then there are lists there too for those systems. It just helps to save time when downloading games.

Has anyone seen this eBay auction?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LG-DVD-GDR-H30NRBB...1QQcmdZViewItem

It's for a GDR-H30NRBB and mentions Wii ripping with a custom firmware not included with the drive. Is there custom firmware or is it a scam? Is the GDR-H30NRBB the same as the GDR-H30N with RBB being the colour code?

If anyone has one of these and could post good pics of the circut board here http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=43...2785f2c07c9cb03 it could lead somewhere.

LOL...So I bought one of these from newegg thinking it was the correct drive a few months ago. Then realized it would not work after getting through this lengthy thread. Never took it out of the box when it was delivered. I'll see if I can open it up..
