    Hacking Wiierd Wiikey Issues...... Maybe?

    Just an update that may help someone in the future. On the weekend just past I decided to reburn some more games using my Pioneer, (I wanted to wait a month to check if it was the media that was failing, GOW2 kept me entertained) at the recommended speeds with the recommended media. After...

    Hacking Wiierd Wiikey Issues...... Maybe?

    In Conclusion The only thing I can be sure of is that it was one of two things - Media or Burn It will be trial and error from here on, but thanks to anyone who contributed info it all helped. Cheers.

    Will check out if it reads them tonight, but I have been told slower burning is not always better and sometimes even worse, which I was not aware of. The thing I am learning most is that its all pretty individual based upon your gear so if its not broken theres no need to fix it, and I just...

    I learnt early on that burnt audio cds could lose there data after years depending on the quality of media and device but I am with you BBking83, DVDs losing there data within a month is just crazy talk as far as I'm concerned, but its all I got at the moment ! As for your burner issues, another...

    As requested, I have just finished checking my wii back up collection and I now have 100% failure rate, literally overnight Mario Kart has stopped working and WWE was checked about 5 days ago. Good news is the reburns are still working!

    I am more glad then yourself pintscc But even more glad to see that you had seen somewhere that a DVD can lose it's info from a bad burn. I did accept that over time (years) it could happen but a month had/has me scratchin my head. Thanks again mate.

    Hacking Wiierd Wiikey Issues...... Maybe?

    To be honest I only checked and reburnt 2 discs last night as I wanted to do a bit more research regarding burning and media types today. *headache* But the couple I did check would not work after downgrade (Madden 09 and Mario Strikers which after reburn - success!) and Medal of Honor Heroes 2...

    Ok will have to do some research, I have to be honest and say I have never seen that brand available locally, I am in a regional town. So if I go that way it would have be an online purchase. Thanks again for the input.

    I have a pioneer burner on my desktop and was thinking I might start to use that for all my Wii burns. As for the media, again with my initial research I read that Verbatim was the accepted dvd-r used? I might have to check out these Tayio Yuden, this is all new to me.

    Hacking Wiierd Wiikey Issues...... Maybe?

    To be honest I do not know much about what makes a good burn, I was under the impression the slower the burn speed the better the burn and the less chance of errors. Initial researching from a number of sites I read that ideally a 4x burn is what is accepted as the recommended speed for...

    Hacking 3.1-3.4 Twilight/Downgrade/Gamma Tutorial

    Thanks to all who generated and contributed to this thread, I have successfully downgraded thanks to you guys. It didn't fix my core problem but it sure helped cross another variable off the list. Back to the subject matter, ran into a ret error on the first step - but luckily I read through the...
