I've made at least 10 coasters by now. My little brother is turning them into Ninja throwing stars...
I can't seem to burn a recognizable game to my Wii.
Mario Kart - (Burned 3 times. 2x, 4x, 8x.) (4 and 8 failed to burn for no apparent reason. 2x worked, but the game only loads sometimes.)
Animal Crossing - (Burned at 4x. Failed. Had to use friend's laptop burner, worked fine.)
Tenkaichi 3 - (Burned 4, 8, and 16. All failed. 4 was readable until a fight started, then it would freeze.)
Metroid Prime 3 - (Burned at 2x. Sometimes freezes on the Menus. If menus work, you can play for a little while, then freezes randomly.)
FF: Chocobo's Dungeon - (Burned at 4x. Works, but freezes on all movies.)
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile - (Hardly works. One time it loaded, I got past level 1, then it froze for no reason.)
That Capcom Vs Something or Other Game - (50/50 chance of working. I don't like this game one bit, so I don't particularly care, Lol.)
I finally got smart and figured out how to update my DVD burner's firmware. It is supposed to be capable of burning 16x from the start, but I've never been able to do it. Anyway, I updated the firmware yesterday and burned my first game just now.
In the past, I had problems where the Buffer levels would just slowly decrease and the burn would fail. Sometimes it would fluctuate between 99% and 69%. All games that did this would fail.
With the new firmware update, (Running Nero and IMGburn. I think Nero might work slightly better...), I was able to burn an 8x DVD for the first time ever without it failing. Buffer levels got around 89% halfway through.
Excite Truck (Burned at 8x, seemingly with no errors. FAILED. Wii won't even read this one.)
I'm using Verbatim DVD-Rs.
I even have a separate windows account where I have it set to run on Performance mode. Saves me at least 100mb RAM, so I use that to burn. Same results.
I don't get what the problem could be. Does my burner just suck? All of the games I've burned with my friend's laptop work fine...
