    Hacking DVD Read Error 324

    So I got DVD Read Error 324. I'm using TDK DVD's that are made by Ritek, so they're supposed to be decent. As I said, I installed the safe 3.3 update and cIOS36_rev7, but it still doesn't work. I hear I need to reinstall the cIOS, but how do I do that? I heard I need to downgrade my firmware...

    Hacking Since Trucha Signer could be used to install firmware...

    Is it possible that someone could dump the newest firmware updates, modify them so that Trucha Signer remains usable, and then have everyone install the update from there? That way, any future updates required for whatever reason won't cause Trucha Signer to stop working? Is this similar to the...

    Hardware What causes the 'dots' problem?

    I've already gone through one Wii that broke because of the 'dots' problem that became apparent by December of 06. I got my Wii replaced/repaired (not sure what they did), and now all is well. I think my Wii was replaced, because before I sent it there was a problem with the Gamecube memory card...

    Hacking Attention: Do not order from Newark!

    So, I ordered the parts for YAOSM right? I also ordered some leds, battery holders, soder wick and a flux pen. The total cost was a very reasonable $17. None of this stuff weighs more than a gram or so each, so shipping should be about $6.40 for UPS Ground based on the estimate, since it's far...

    Hacking HD Loader type program in the future?

    Does anyone think its likely that we'll see something like HD Loader for Wii in the near future? Like, using a homebrew disc to launch a Wii native application which, by using the USB ports, would be able to load backups via a Hard Drive or large USB stick?

    Hacking You don't need a modchip for homebrew?

    I only just realized that you DON'T need a mod chip to do the Twilight Hack...weird eh? I thought, based on the initial "Hello World" for Wii homebrew, which required a mod chip, that homebrew via the Twilight Hack, required a mod chip. Is it still worth it to install a mod chip for homebrew...

    Just wondering, but will any Dual Layer dvd burner work for burning Wii game backups of single layer and dual layer discs? Also, how much are the DVD drives needed to back up games? Which ones would I need to get?

    Hacking Which solder should I use?

    I'm confused as to which solder I should buy for soldering the YAOSM to my Wii. I've found Rosin Core Solder, Clear Flux Solder and Silver Bearing Solder, and High Tech Rosin Core Silver-Bearing Solder, all at Radioshack. Which one should I buy? Also, should I buy the tub of flux? How would I...

    Hacking Did you have soldering experience?

    Just wondering, as I was hoping to see whether I could give myself a confidence boost with installing YAOSM myself. Hopefully this helps others too. Also, was your mod successful? So many people report having DREs after installing their chips, and it scares me!

    Hacking Chance of modchip causing online problems later?

    I've been worrying about this since I started thinking about getting a mod chip. Does anyone think there's a chance that having these drive chips installed will cause problems with trying to get online in the future? I would hate to lose online play, Virtual Console, WiiWare, or any of the...

    Hacking Equipment for soldering? and YAOSM parts?

    I figured I'd get this stuff and learn to solder. Then I'd buy the equipment to build the programmer and get that done, and finally install the chip into my Wii. Here's the stuff I'd buy for soldering: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.js...rentPage=search -15 Watt Soldering Iron, $8.99...

    I was wondering what the best commercial mod chip is. Wiikey seems like thats not an option since it appears as though its no longer supported, since the site is gone. Also, its not compatible with originals.

    Hacking Doesn't opening the Wii void warranty?

    I was just wondering about this, since people like to replace their DVD drives and then send them in to Nintendo to get them replaced. I wanted to just open my Wii to check which version (DMS/D2A/D2B/D2C) drive I have before I got my hands dirty with doing any modding.

    Hacking Wii Firmware Updates and YAOSM

    I've been downloading every single firmware update for the Wii that's been available, and have also installed the update from Super Mario Galaxy. Am I still able to install a YAOSM mod chip, and will I still be able to take Wii updates? Or will this have caused me problems? Thanks

    Hacking Wiikey vs. YAOSM

    I was looking into a free mod chip for my Wii, but it looks like a lot of them have died out except YAOSM. YAOSM looks good but it doesn't have DVD updating. WiiKey looks pretty good, and its cheap ($23 w/triwing screwdriver), and it supports DVD updating. But, has Wiikey's site been down for a...
