this has nothing to do with the modchip. there were some systems that were broken from the start. it happened to me aswell. call nintendo up and they will replace it for you. just make sure u take out ur chip first
try using a different activation. also sometimes you just need to restart your computer a couple of times before it says that its genuine. if it still says it not activated check and see if your getting the updates and if its bringing up the message box telling you to activate now. my friends...
i wouldnt recomend sony dvds. i personally use memorex dvd-rs. and i burn them at 8x. i also use nero to burn all my wii games. and clonecd to burn all my gamecube games. hope this helps you.
i cant wait to play this game. The only bad thing is that some of the spells use both the nunchuk and wiimote so it wont feel like your actually using a wand. oh well it will still be fun
