I know this might not sound very intelligent but I was very curious. I have a Wii which apparently has the new chipset since I got an error 1048 and 1053 when I used NeoGamma (1048 when running off the SD, 1053 when installed as a channel) so I assume it's the new chipset that doesn't play burnt DVDs. I currently don't own an external hard drive; though I could get one, I already have an external optical drive and a bunch of blank DVDs. My question is if there is a software already or the possibility of a software that allows me to use an external DVD drive plugged into the USB port to play burnt games. Though it might be easier to just go out and buy an external hard drive and put on 100 games but I was just curious for those, including myself, who don't have an external hard drive but have an external optical drive and a bunch of DVDs. In case you all were wondering, I have a netbook and I need a DVD drive to use certain programs and files and such so I bought an external DVD drive. Any information would be great. Thanks
