I have searched and read through several topics on these forums, but I still can't get it to work.
I am using memorex dvd+r dl (all my store had), burning with osx360 2.4x. I set the correct layer break, and I know my superdrive can burn DL.

When I insert the disc into the wii, my entire wii just freezes instantly, no error or black screens, just a freeze.

What could cause this? IF I start the wii with the disc already in the console, it will freeze before it even loads the wii menu.

I have tried twice, and now I have 2 very expensive coasters.

I have a wiinja deluxe chip in my USA wii, i mention this because I heard from another topic that Wiinja needs some special treatment with DL dvds, but I dont know if this is true.


I suspect its more than just bad media or something, because It is just freezing my wii before I even try to play the disc...

please help?

When using DVD+R media, you typically need to set the booktype to DVD-ROM for the Wii. However, I don't know how to do it in that software.

I got it to work, I just downloaded imgburn and ran it in windows via parallels, it didnt recognize my mac's dvd drive but it still let me burn and the game runs fine. Thanks for the help

I suppose the osx360 just doesnt work for wii games...

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
