I've pinned the topic, but will still keep the other pinned for the time being.

Is it possible to have the lists in alphabetical order at all and with NTSC/PAL games seperated?

Pay no heed to the list on the first page of this thread, I don't think I will continue it. The data collected in this thread will be added to the Wiki.

Link and description to the Read Retry Fix will be added to the first post as well.


Still no luck with de Blob. Read Fix and unplugging everything except Wiimote didn't work. I can confirm, though, that there's definatly not a problem loading the levels. You just have to be fast enough. It's the menu animation or sound (or something other that runs in the background) that crashes the game after a couple of seconds - If you manage to enter a level in that time, everything works fine.

I hope that for games with the disc read error like De Blob (but I heard it happens with several titles) will be found a fix, maybe in the 0.3 final or anything else, because it seems to be a quite common problem.
That being said, I have total faith in Wiigator, Wanikoko and everybody who works in the Wii scene, and I have even more gratitude for everything they're all doing for us.
I'm sure our public beta testing will help us improving things, and remember everyone update the compatibility matrix so the developers can easily view the data we submit after out tests.

got game disc cannot be read for ghost squad scrubbed PAL. i also used read_retry cios installer. i have 3.1e menua on australian pal wii. game disc error occurs instantly, there is no intro, just straight to error

Wario Land: The Shake Dimension - 1:1 - loads the title screen, intro video is VERY choppy (sound is bad too) - game crashes with "cannot read disc" error after the first "loading" screen. Cannot get it to play. Can't understand why some have said the PAL version works - they must have only got to the title screen/intro video and got bored waiting for it to finish.

No. I've played quite a bit of it to see if everything worked. And it did. I guess these are the "unreproducable" errors Wiigator was speaking of which were the reason for the public beta in the first place: Games working for some people, and not working for others for no discernable reasons. So far, only a handful of games really definatly don't work, while some - de Blob, Wario Land, Wii Music, Mario Super Sluggers for example - seem to be working fine for some users while others it gives the disc read error.

So maybe we should just go and check where our process of burning Wario Land differs or what the difference between our two Wiis is. I burned the game at 2.4x with Nero 8 on a Verbatim DVD+R booktyped to DVD-R. My Wii is 3.3E PAL, I load games using the Homebrew Channel (not a seperate channel).
I used Wiigator's 0.1 without cIOS-fix, and just installed 0.3 without removing any of the previous contents.

Interesting. I uninstalled DVDx and the cIOS from Waninkoko before using the new loader - maybe this has a bearing on the results? I might re-install both to see what happens...

I think that the discs I use are DVD+R, and my drive has been setting the booktype to DVD+R instead of DVD-ROM.

I've altered this now. I'll re-burn later and try again.

Tiger Wood '09 (1:1) - works just fine.

got game disc cannot be read for ghost squad scrubbed PAL. i also used read_retry cios installer. i have 3.1e menua on australian pal wii. game disc error occurs instantly, there is no intro, just straight to error

Did you try with a not scrubbed copy ? I have the same problem with Samba de Amigo scrubbed. The other games I've tried (Tomb Raider Anniversary and Disaster) work fine but are not scrubbed.

Maybe this backup launcher doesn't like scrubbed copy...

[Meowayne]

DeBlob PAL "patched" works perfect...

More information, please!

 

[Meharis]

When there is no one adding our results to the wiki, i guess it`s pretty useless to furthermore test...
anyway. i tried another 4 games this afternoon:

WII 3.3E, Verbatim DVD-R 4x with Nero 8, all games decrypted

Alone in the Dark PAL - Works great, played for half an hour or so

Tiger Woods 09 All Play PAL - flawless, wifi works without problems, played St. Andrews front 9 without loosing connection

Luxor Pharaos Challenge PAL - No glitches @ all

Puzzle Quest - Challenge of the Warlords - PAL - Works !

 

[Tetram]

and again, im using scrubbed and decrypted version of ghost squad PAL and its working great on 0.3 for me so i don't thing thats the problem

Ok. Didn't know you already tested... Is it possible that a scrubbed but non decrypted version does not work? As for me, it was the case... Btw, I burn again without scrubbing anything on Sony DVD-R, and my Samba de Amigo works like a charm !
