Hacking Confirmed working DVD brands

[KirovAir]

Hello,

I've bought about 100 dvd-r's to get started but I don't get them to work with the backup loader(s)
I'm getting ret=-4100 which points on bad burns, or something like that.

I am using TDK dvd-r's. I've tried burning different iso's, different computers (with different burners) and different programs (imgburn, clonedvd, nero) at different speeds. (wasted about 12 dvd-r's).

So I think it's the discs fault. Can someone post dvd brands that can be confirmed working with the backup loader?

Thanks in advance.

(If your brand is TDK. Please post your burning program and burn speeds etc.)

Any DVD's (not tried TDK but tried other crappy PCline ones), Imgburn at 8x with a pioneer 112D burner seems to work.

If you get that error (-4100 in title identification) is because the data could not be read.
Main reason is normally because disc is DVD+R without DVDROM booktype.

 

[digitydogs]

well wanin got the -4100
thread about media and burn speeds

I use TDK DVD-r

Nero burning rom at 8x(or 4 i cant remember lol) speed for my mario galaxy and it works fine.

but LoZ:TP doesnt seem to work, i think it was burned at 4x and doesnt seem to be working, but i havent tried all options yet so i'll get back to you when i'm done.

you just have to set the booktype from your burner to dvd-rom, then it should work!
just use google to find an Firmware for your Burner

(sry for bad english)

I´m using dvd-r's and the burn seems to go all fine etc. (with verifiing)
Both of my burners are LG's btw but I can't seem to modify (or even see) the booktype. (Probably because it are OEM versions, they came with DELL :/)

Don't laugh,

But I use FujiFilm brand DVD-R's.

They work like, 100% with all my games.

Ye, I just readed some posts and saw that TDK's are not OK.

I'll order a new stack (verbatims) right away.

no problems with
HP dvd+r burn all at 16x

total failure with
playo dvd-r none loaded burned anywhere from 2x to 16x

Verbatim -Rs have worked great for me. +Rs not so much... Sam's Club usually has 100 pack of -Rs for cheap so if you are near one you should go there.

So far my Wii reads everything

- TDK DVD+R and -R
- Philips DVD+R and -R
- Verbatim DVD+R and -R
- Unknown very cheap ebay bought DVD+ and -R
- EMTEC DVD+R and -R
- Aldi bought DVD+R
- Spindel of 10 different DVD+RW

No problem

I burn at 6X in my Pioneer DVR-111L and at 4X in my BenQ DC DQ60

I am using TDK dvd-r's.

I use TDK DVD-R (the gray one)
I burned the image with IMGBURN at 4x speed... and worked fine

I tried using Memorex DVD-Rs (The only ones I have right now...) and it worked with Super Paper Mario (it didn't even crash or stall after the first cut-scene) and deBlob (although it's really choppy with the menus. Haven't got around to actually playing it yet). It did NOT work with Resident Evil 4 which I read is a really picky iso. I'm just going to get Verbatims because almost everyone says they work best.

Also, the Memorex are 16x. I burned at 12x with SPM and deBlob. Tried all speeds (even tried DVD+R Lightscribe discs) with RE4 and no luck. Just sits at the black screen. I even used 3 unscramblers/backup-creators and 4 loaders...

Poundland 'signalex' dvd+r work fine...

...what?

 

[cardyology]

like I said above, if your burner is good (pioneer 111/112D) then the media you use dosnt matter.

All my wii games were on an assortment of cheap-ass dvd-r, all burned at 4x or 8x with imgburn & I dont think I had one bad burn.

If you get a good burner it will save you time & discs in the future.

 

[hughjass]

amen to that!

been using cheap media on my chipped ps2 for yonks now, and it's still going fine, and everyone knows how crap the lasers in ps2s are.
