Thank you for your post... That makes a lot of sense. However unlucky for me, I never hooked up the upgrade wires. :(

also, where would I go about getting a firmware upgrade?

my e-mail is [removed]

I'm eagerly awaiting the update too, they say on the news part of teamcyclops.com that the alpha version is out now, and the alpha testers are authorized to start distributing their copy if team cyclops doesn't put out the full version within a week.. one way or another we will have it next week :)

now I just need to take a visit to Radioshack and pick up a blasted switch, I think I'll be feeding the wires through the Wii's side filter

I have thought about running wires through the Gamecube memory slot. I would never use the 2nd one (if i ever use the first one)

my soldering skills are stuck in the 80's. I can solder 80's electronics no problem. I think I will live with the slow reading :)

Now if anyone needs a parallel port soldered into their old Commodore 1541/71 disk drive... I'm your guy.

Never before has 170kb of data been copied in under 5 minutes (and without swapping disks) :D

Hey I was looking for some decent media to burn wii games to and I saw that bestbuy had Sony(dvd +/-) 100 pack for $24.99. Does anyone know if this would be a good choice? I've never used Sony before but just assumed it would be pretty good. Thanks

The List

Verbatim with DVD+R and DVD-R

DVD-R
MCC01RG20 = burn at 4x since it's max is 4x can be done at 8x on most burners but i don't recommend it unless you have the best burner there is
MCC02RG20 = burn at 8x since it's max is 8x can be done at 12x on most burners but i don't recommend it unless you have the best burner there is
MCC03RG20 = burn at 8x or 12x if burner can do it and if you have a good burner. they are 16x but those two lower speeds come out better and more guaranteed given their variability.

DVD+R
MCC 002 = burn at 4x since it's max is 4x can be done at 8x on most burners but i don't recommend it unless you have the best burner there is
MCC 003 = burn at 8x since it's max is 8x can be done at 12x on most burners but i don't recommend it unless you have the best burner there is
MCC 004 = burn at 8x or 12x if burner can do it and if you have a good burner. they are 16x but those two lower speeds come out better and more guaranteed given their variability.

thanks for raping my post without crediting me.



anyway like ps2 games same applies to the wii. use taiyo yudens, i use tyg02 for both. no problems. granted i only have one wii game twilight princess but i have a crapload of gcn games that till now i couldn't backup.

wadzinsky,

Posting email addies isn't allowed. I suggest you read the forum rules you agreed to.

And for the record there's a big difference between the plain-jane Vebatims which are often CMC or other low grade media and the DataLifePlus which are high quality Mitsubishi Chemicals MCC media .

Well, I would suppose that 10 diff media doing the exact same thing would suggest to you that the media isn't the problem. Whether it be verbatim, sony, hp, rocoh, memorex, or magnavox. Every single one does the same thing.

as far as the e-mail, take it off then. Geez.. You are the moderator. I only needed help with one thing. So you can ban me too. I got my answer.

Thanks for the helpful responses by the other people.

I never said the media was the problem. I just made the point that there's a big difference between the different Verbatim lines. And for your snotty attitude I obliged you - you're banned.

Wow, Don't you think that was a little harsh?

Bannish those who offend you.
If you have the power, you have the right.

Anyone else feel like second guessing me in the forums? Incidentally kcab_mI just joined and immediately posted to this thread questioning me so, gee I wonder who that was.

Thanks for the support fellas :)

**edit - I've said it before and I'll say it again - if anyone has a problem with me or something I've done take care of it in pm's. The open forum is NOT the place for it.

You know Zephilim... or whatever your name is, You can keep banning someone all you want. but you can't keep them from comming back. You must feel special now that you've exersized your right to ban people 2 times in one day. But what have you accomplished? Absolutely nothing. I am still posting on your message board saying things you don't want to hear. You'll ban me again and I can just keep comming back. But I'm not going to. I'm done with you guys. You and your "Yes-men" can all enjoy yourselves..

and yes, I WILL question your authority. I'm not afraid of the ruler.

Later guys

Exersize your trigger finger. It's ok
Other opinions don't matter, Only your's does.
Support those higher up than you. Cuz if you stand up for yourself, you'll get banned. PERMENANTLY!!!

You kids must have some sort of premade post to use when you come back because I've heard almost verbatim the same pathetic drivel more times than I can remember.

Rejoin all you want. If it makes you feel like you've 'stood up to the man' then good for you - glad to help out.

At the risk of getting off topic (well to late, haha) can't you ban by IP?
