And so why it would read all the games on a GC DVD9 compilation made by GCOS? (emu_kidid tried it personally, and you cannot doubt someone as known as him)

Yes, somebody mentioned earlier that their DVD9 multidisc GCN collections worked fine with their WiiKey.
Yeah, it's just that everyone loves bashing Wiikey.
Until all games work fine "YEAH THIS MODZORZ IS GREATZ I CAN PLAY ALL 4 FREE". When there's a game that doesn't work... "OMGZORZ THIS MODZORZ IS CRAPZ I'LL TELL EVERY1 THAT SUXORZ"...
Just wait, guys
Okay kids, let's stop picking on poor Cyrox; he's just jumping on the We Hate Wiikey bandwagon a few months too late.
It was 5 days for the update and 2 weeks before release (Which is still great)So could someone explain what's the problem with dumping SSBB ? Is it just because it's dual layer ? If so, what is hard with dumping a dual layer, I don't understand what's hard to do ? Isn't it the same as single layer but just need a DVD drive that reads DL ?
Wii disc are dumped like RAW data, so, current dumpers are programmed to dump discs from 0 to (let's make an example) 45000000, but will not read anything after that. That's the standard size for a single layer discs, but DL are bigger.
So we need a special DL Wii game dumper that supports DL discs and doesn't stop to the end of the first layer.
I think that's real that a DVD5 dump is out there and that can be made without too much problems (READ this well, I'm not saying that is AVAILABLE anywhere, it's only available to who has the game and dumped it himself/herself) but Scene groups can't release a probably incomplete and malfunctioning dump, so they're searching for a way to dump correctly a DL game.
BTW, it's nice to see that I was correct on Brawl being DVD9
Hmm... but if it would be that simple, then why didn't they just overwrite that 45000000 with 90000000?
QUOTE(Rulza @ Jan 31 2008, 07:27 PM)Why are people saying that the Wiikey team is slow with updates? The SMG update only took like 3 days and you got to play the game 3 months earlier than everybody else.
The audiofix update was slow, yes, but as far as i understand there was another guy working on the updates then.
Wait... is that... OVER 9 THOUSAND!?Hmm... but if it would be that simple, then why didn't they just overwrite that 45000000 with 90000000?So could someone explain what's the problem with dumping SSBB ?

Jokes apart, it's not that simple. Doubling the size is not exact, they need to know the exact size (which is a bit less), an overdump wouldn't help also, because I think there's some added protection in it. Like fake sectors between the two layers and things like that.

All I know is, when the next Wiikey update disc comes out... is it too much to ask to NOT have a giant picture of a woman's ass on the setup screen?

My girlfriend saw me doing the last update and was like "Uhmmm excuse me?!? What is this????"All I know is, when the next Wiikey update disc comes out... is it too much to ask to NOT have a giant picture of a woman's ass on the setup screen?

Reminds me of when my friend updated his Wiikey and his family was eating in the same room.All I know is, when the next Wiikey update disc comes out... is it too much to ask to NOT have a giant picture of a woman's ass on the setup screen?

Yeah, you are right the Wiikey hate fad is totally over. The dude is probably still watching The Power Rangers in his He-man pyjamas.
Yeah, that wouldn't be bad, some of us have kids, and some of us ARE kids...All I know is, when the next Wiikey update disc comes out... is it too much to ask to NOT have a giant picture of a woman's ass on the setup screen?

i am more of a lurker here...
but why was there even a "we hate wii-key" bandwagon to begin with?
I thought when you decide to mod, you go in knowing things may not be 100% right away or even ever..
Besides, I never remember seeing news that the wii-key team dispanded or abandoned.. I just thought the website was gone and we would get updates on a need to have basis...

from what I seen.. most dual layer burners have dual layer written on them..
I know my old thing isnt duel layered
but my actual copy should arrive before the 14th
