GCN Burned GC game not working on my Wii?

[avengerx105]

Morning guys.

I'm having trouble trying to play The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker iso on my Wii. I successfully burn the iso into a CD using IMGBURN. The iso has the correct size too(1,459,978,240 bytes).

When I insert the CD inside my Wii, it shows the Gamecube title on the Wii Channel. I click on the Gamecube title then clicked "Start". Then screen then turns Black and freezes making me unable to do anything.

I have a modchip inside my Wii so the iso should work right? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have tried burning the iso on two CD's already and both of them were successfully burned but both still give that black screen.

Anyone please help me?

If your wii is the black wii or newer, it doesn't matter what you burned, the disc drive doesn't read burned discs.

The Wii I have is the original white one, bought a week after its released date. It's pretty old.

The zelda Wind Waker iso is a 1.35GB iso, it is suppose to be burned to a DVD-R

If it is softmoded as well, make sure something like wii gator is not jacking the drive from you.

Yes, I have it on DVD-R disc.
The iso is correct as well "1.35 GB (1,459,978,240 bytes)"

I don't know what you mean by 'wii gator'. Sorry, I don't have great knowledge about these things. All I know is that my Wii console has a modchip soldered in by my friend.

This is my first time burning copied games btw, soz ):

Here follow this guide exactly.

I did that recently and I can play backup gamecube games perfectly. If you have anymore questions just ask.

The only time I get a blck screen for a GC game is when it is not the same region as my wii. You might have a EU version of the ISO.

^How do I check if my iso is PAL or NTSC? My Wii works with PAL region only.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

The dolphin emulator can tell you the isos it lists as NTSC or PAL. You don't need the emulator to work, you only need it right now to identify what you got.

You can get the emulator here : http://www.dolphin-emulator.com/

You just need to add the folder path to where they are on your computer and it will tell you the info about the ISO files you got.

^Thank you.

Yep, its USA region meaning its PAL.
Now I'm really confused to why the iso shouldn't work on my Wii. Perhaps its the chip itself inside my Wii that doesn't allow GC iso's to work?

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

USA is NTSC.
Europe is PAL.

Your modchip likely doesn't support the DVD-R your using.

Tried loading it through NeoGamma?

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

From what I can tell from this guy, it isn't softmodded, uses an old hardmod likely as well.

 

[avengerx105]

OHHH,

USA is NTSC. Meaning I got the wrong iso to play with.. I think.
I'll try find one that is PAL and see if it will work on my Wii as it can only play PAL games. Maybe that was the problem?
