we got a wii for christmas and one of the first things i did was install homebrew and then gamma 0.3
i've made a few backups of games we had(to test it out) and some we rented. and those all worked fine except rayman raving rabbids 2(ntsc). direct copy got me to the strap screen then froze after. tried patching it(even tho it isnt needed anymore, i know) and i get disc error and told to reboot wii. gave up on it =\
i've downloaded a few ISOs via torrents. most of them are pal but most work with forced NTSC. fire emblem, manhunt 2, super paper mario, and a couple others.
a few downloaded games that didn't worked were okami(pal) and wii music(pal). both were pre-patched. could that be the problem? a lot of my other downloaded games claimed to be patched but worked fine(why i tried it on rayman raving rabbids 2)
i've been using RetailPlus+ DVD+R discs because we have a stack of 50 we picked up over a year ago.
i am unsure if the disks i'm using are the problem or if its the specific games or if i need to try newer/different backup launchers or get some other cIOSs. I have a nice working system with a dozen working backups and homebrew all running fine so I am weary of tweaking with my wii more and ruining what i have going.
what are the chances the problem is just my discs? we're almost out of them so i'll be buying some new ones soon anyways. i read verbatim -r are the best to get, is that true?
also, i've been using nero burning rom(v7 nero) to burn discs. i can't find an option for setting the booktype. is that not a feature of nero? should i get a different burning program?
if getting better quality, -R discs doesn't solve my problem with my games, any suggestions on what i need to install/change on my wii to get these games to work?
thanks for *any* advice. /noob.
