Hacking backup works on modded wii but not on softmod

[rdpatton78]

I recently softmodded my wii but cannot get any backups to work. To insure that I had installed it correctly, I borrowed a backup game from a friend who had a wiikey installed.
The game is burnt on a DVD+r.
Is there any reason this would work on his modded wii but not my softmodded one?

What did you install on your wii?

DVD+R ...read the forum ffs...

maybe if you told us how you softmodded, and what games instead of expecting us to be mind readers you would get somewhere.

Wrong forum mate

sorry to point out the obvious but you did demodulate didnt you Taz

I installed wiigator backup loader v0.3 gamma. The game is mario kart wii. I read the forum but it said that rarely you could get a DVD+r to work. I assumed that if it worked on a modded wii it would work on mine.

different Wii's, different drive

try a different game on dvd+R and also try Mario Kart on DVD-R and see what happens , will prove whether or not ya wii likes DVD+ or not..

Softmods and modchips are totally different systems - have you every tried putting diesel into a petrol car and wondering why it didnt work ?

For a soft modded wii , generally you need DVD-R to be more confident they will work.
You also need the most up to date files and since we dont know where you got them its almost impossible to see what you have
we also done know what errors you get or anything else like firmware version location etc - the more detail we have the better.

Assumption - the mother of all mistakes

Is it possible to just make a copy of the DVD+R maorio kart game that is alreadt burned?
Thanks for the help. guys.
Ive never tried aanything like this before.

 

[rdpatton78]

error code 324 on every game I've attempted. Lego Batman was also attempted on a DVD+r. Downloaded from mywiidownloads.com. not sure what you mean by "firmware version location"

 

[dole]

Yes, Virginia, it's possible to make a copy of most anything you've already burned.
DVD+R = FAIL + Link to site = FAIL^2 + Paying for downloads = FAIL^342789023489042389312890123

Seriously, search. DVD-R seems to be the way to go. I tried a dvd+r just for the hell of it didn't work for me. Sony DVD-R burned at 1x with image burn, no problems yet.

Again, search. There are sooooo many threads on the subject.

lol.
who paid for iso downloads?
that's the funniest thing i've ever heard.

 

[franky86]

if dvd+r doesnt work(it does on some wii's, mine actually) try dvd-r

also make sure your softmod is properly installed. what version of the wii system menu do you have? 3.4? need to downgrade to properly install whatever backup launcher you are using.

also, paying to download illegal copies of games is about the stupidest thing i've ever heard of. if you're going to pirate software... don't pay for it =| that defeats the purpose of not... paying for it.

omg i just checked the site out the guy went to..

thats absolutely fuckin shocking.....thats WORSE than HomeBrewWare

the Wii Media Centre??? WTF?? lol its probably just TVersity which is free anyway, thats some krazee shit..

dude your a mug, i bet all you got was a load of torrent links lol

 

[franky86]

Hah yeah I was looking at the site too.

I just imagined its links to torrents, half of which are probably dead.

What a scam.

 

[dlxowhd]

i thought only 70 years old grandpas fall for this kind of scam.
my grandpa is 72 years old and he fell for this kind of scam (for tv shows) a year ago.

 

[djtaz]

TV shows ? where can i sign up ?

I think his main problem is the DVD+R - once he gets some DVD-R discs they may work.
