Just but the deam -R's.Cooler89 said:Rebound said:I've run out of my DVD-R's and unfortunately my Drive doesnt support booktyping. Is there any (other) Way to get DVD+R with the backuploader?
Hmmm.. What you can do is download alcohol 120% then go into options and select automatically set the booktype to DVD-ROM if you are going to be using DVD+R or RW good luck and let me know if that works for you
Heh... Sorry, my writer ONLY writes to DVD+R, it can't do -R, so when I click on any of the booktyping options, it comes up with an error! It's a HP DVD writer 300n.quim69 said:To people saying there is no need to set the booktype please research the wii and your hardware before giving misinformation.
A unchipped wii (or a wii with some of the older chips) requires DVD+R to be bitset to DVD-ROM.
Many drives do it automatically, some allow you to do it manually and a few don't have the option at all. The reason you have never "had to set the booktype" is because your burner is doing it automagically.
Beatchu said:Yes but I mean that if my drive can't recognise ordinary dvd-rs then why does it only burn to dvd+r and then bitset? Surely if it can bitset then it would be able to read the same type of disc it's bitsetting to...
someone will understand me
syst3merror said:I can tell you this, I use the gamma loader with dvd+r and have no problem at all. As a matter of fact, I have a total of 47 Wii games burned to nothing BUT dvd+r (memorex, hp, and others) and none have problems playing.
I have a dual layer hp +r disc with SSBB on it and it plays fine too.
Not sure why all the hype with only -r discs?!?!
