    Hacking Wii Hack problem or bad DVD?

    Update: I used Modmii (VERY good resource - wish I had this when I first modded my Wii). Got Tangled on .iso then to the WBFS, which loaded and played fine. Obviously, a bad DVD drive, so I ordered a new one off of eBay. Hopefully it will arrive quickly so my 9yo can get some Skylander...
