Hacking beta disks can't be read by gamma

[martyb]

I had previously tried install HBC using TPH and wiigator beta. I copied a couple of games I own (Beach Sport & Mario Kart) (one using rawdump, one with friidump, both burnt with imgburn with default setting) and both would run with backup loader. But after getting past the bit of picking the player and choosing a course they would die with a wii disk error.
I was hoping that if I used Big Moe's v3 installer the problem would be fixed.
After doing all the steps (I skipped starfall due to some error) I had wiigator gamma and the two new loader channels in place. But now both backup games immediately return a "read error -324"
Both disks are dvd -r , different manufactures, worked a bit with beta, not working at all with gamma.

Where do you think I went wrong???

All help appreciated. Cheers Martyb

You can try installing Softmii. Search for it.

Thanks Acesniper,

I'll give it a go. By the way, I went and tried it again this morning and found that I'm not getting an error anymore. Now it just keeps cycling the drive, sometimes the slot lights up and it just goes back to trying to load over and over. At this point the only way to stop it is to hold down the power button on the console. I tried the wiigator channel using an original disk and the game played fine. All very strange....

324 is cause of:

cIOS installation unproperly
Bad Media/burn (even if they worked of beta)

I got this thing with the drive too, but only when i burn my memorex(and theyre SHIT MEDIA at least mine are) with 2 burners from 2006(a nec and a samsung toshiba) when i burn them with my newest samsung toshiba at 4 speed they work and i'm past that problem, so realy would advice you to first check your media and burner.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd have thought if the media was no good it wouldn't have worked with the beta. Then again the games started but failed after a few minutes into it.

Am thinking that the cios is the problem, may try that first and perhaps softmii. Am a little worried that the softmii site is only saying the current release is only tested on 3.2u. I've downgraded to 3.2e using Big Moes installer v3.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

I had this problem and was told to clean my lens so i took my wii cover off and the metal casing, go a cotton bud and some disk cleaner solution and cleaned the lens waited for it to dry and put it all back together and it worked perfectly
