An unmodded wii cannot read a DVD-R and this has nothing to do with it. Period.

A modded wii can read DVD-Rs but IOS restricts you to game format DVDs (signed and encrypted). The UnencryptedRead patch disables this restriction, which means that you can read standard format DVDs and DVD-Rs (movies, normal ISO9660 filesystems, etc). If you have a modchip.

What controls sector reads, then? D2x?

There has to be some software intervention somewhere along the line... these games aren't exactly streamed sequentially, like movies.
That was just Marcan's short explanation, I suppose. He just didn't mention the small amount of low level disc reading you could do before the IOS patch. He considered it no functionality, I suppose.

But the other part is right. Unmodded Wiis cannot read Non-GOD/Wii-Format discs, and this IOS patch has nothing to do with it.
DVD-R isn't even the correct term. Any DVD-ROM with the normal sector layout is unreadable. Try it.

can i possibly get a link to the uninstaller people just incase you know


jees, go to the first page, theres a blooming link right there!!!

edit: well i look silly cos i just went back to the front and its gone. Google search for the developer of this tool and you will find his homepage. Everything is on there.

Old installer removed and added a new one without copyright code.

Cool. I had to change the url on your site though, it wasn't updated to 'rev02' or whatever.
 
waninkoko, this may not be the place to ask, but will you be updating your WAD Manager to be able to remove wads and wad history without needing the original?
