As far as I know, it only affects the dumping of DL discs, not playing. Furthermore, it only affects the dumps in the sense that corrupted, unused sectors would result in checksum mismatches against published databases (e.g., Redump). That only matters if you're trying to verify that your dump is correct in parts of the disc that are important.da_letter_a said:So it corrupts the last part of the second layer?
Appears so.
Does this new bug only affect the dumping of a disc or also if you are trying to play a already dumped disc?WiiPower said:That's the problem here. Wii discs have a "data-hole" in the middle of the disc, and the actual data is written at the end.
That's not quite the case, is it?
Looking at the partitions of the discs I own in wit, I see that the partitioning is very regular. There's an update partition at the beginning of the disc, that's approximately the size of the update. There's a game partition at 248 MB in that's usually 4220 MB for SL discs, and an optional third channel partition. In particular though, in every disc I've seen the last 14 MB exists as unused space outside any partition. So in practice, this bug shouldn't affect anything as the corrupted data exists outside of any useful disc region.
I suppose new DL games could come out that use the entire space. I suspect though that the regular format of the partition table is due to specification, and Nintendo wouldn't license games that exceeded these limits.
No, it's a vanilla boot2-vulnerable softmod wii. Good point though, I should've noted that.fogbank said:Do you have a modchip?

In other words, this is similar in effect to the rev 14 DL bug on SL discs. Would generate bad dumps in a technical sense, but worked just fine for all practical purposes.

This is not related to rev 17 since I'm currently using rev 14 but I wanted to comment on the DVD drive noise with a mod chip (Wasabi DX in Zero mode so 6X read speed). I've tried a MP:Trilogy backup and it is also making a lot of noise. It took awhile for the Wii to recognize the disc as well. I kept getting "Unable to detect disc" until a few minutes later. The drive sounds like it is being overworked like what you said. When I played my SSBB legit disc, it sort of makes the described sound but not quite as often and not as loud. Normally I would hear the dvd drive making noises for loading a stage or cutscene. I am comparing between two different games of a backup and legit disc. The best way for me to test the DVD noise is also getting a backup copy of SSBB and test it against a legit disc. I can't make any tests as of now because I need to obtain a backup copy of SSBB and retrieve the legit disc from my cousin. I would be glad to do more additional testing if you want but I won't have a specific time frame to report the DVD noise results.leoszt said:In this third try, the game did actually run, but the loading took a lot more to happen and the Wii kept doing sounds that I had never heard before (coming from it). This noises kept going on during the whole gameplay and menus, like if it was being pushed to its limits.
(kind of scary)

hobogoonie said:Hi everyone, could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have a Wii on 4.2, Modchip installed and softmodded. I believe I'm on rev13 installed on 249. I am trying to upgrade to this new rev 17 but not exactly how to install it. I've attempted to use the .dol from the installer on page 1 of this thread with WM1.5, select 249, SD, install wad and it gives me an error -4100? Thanks in advance for any help.

Put it in a folder in the apps folder of your SD card and rename boot.dol. Run the dol through the HBC.
