Hacking Can't get backups working

[ebp]

Hi

I'm having difficulty getting backups working on my wii. I have set mywii up with this guide: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=118446
I'm able to boot original games, does mean that the loader works perfectly and should work with my backups? When I use backups the screen is just black and it sound like the wii loading the disc over and over again. To be sure that it's not my iso's that's the problem, i'm thinking if there a test iso or something like that, so i can isolate the problem to the iso's, my blank media or my burner.

I hope you can help

need more info to be of any help.... what type of media are you using (-r or +r)
is the game PAL or NTSC, same question for the wii.
are you forcing any settings?

i dont know what settings i'm using i just use the channel i installed. The media i use is a -rw, is that stupid? It's a pal wii and pal games

 

[digitydogs]

you cant use rw. has to be -r. Also after correcting that find out which loader your using if its an autoboot whether it forces any settings by default or not

ok I don't think that i have any -r's but i think i have some +r's lying around, should they work?

+ r's work perfectly for me. My Wii will read + and - disc's burnt at 16x no problem, not one coaster as of yet.

I'm using the WiiGator3 Channel by WiiShizzza and cIOS249-Waninkoko-rev07, just for the record.

i have the same problem as this guy, but i am using +r's. also i did get one burned game to work..but other 3 ive tried dont work.i have an ntsc wii and the game i got to work was ntsc, but also i have 2 ntsc games that dont work and 1 pal game that doesnt, i just get a black screen. i am using whatever channel and cios that I was told to use via the instructions here

anyone give me some advice as to how to get the games to work? i have tired to "force ntsc" but that doesnt help me at all.

Media is the first place to check for black screen issue , second will be the loader Cios install

DVD+RS and +RW ONLY WORK if you change the booktype, and if u dont know what that means then go buy some dvd-rs

DVD+RS and +RW ONLY WORK if you change the booktype, and if u dont know what that means then go buy some dvd-rs

it would be cool if you could explain how I can change the booktype=/ Can I do it using Imgburn? Don't wanna waste this pack of 100 +rs.


EDIT: Ok I found out how to do it. I have an LG GSA-E60L external dvdwriter and it does support bitsetting. However, when I change the booktype on the LG tab in Imgburn to DVD-ROM and it says success, how do I know that it actually changed it? The information for my drive still says
