Teq you always point out to other people not to post useless threads.
Congratulations you just (or yesterday for that matter) did it yourself!
Okay, first of all, stfu.
Unlike the people I supposedly get down on, I've contributed my share of information. This thread was meant to be the discussion of theoretical copy protection circumvention.

If you would have thought this through you would have come to the same conclusion as bubbleboy:
QUOTE(bubbleboy @ Jun 30 2008, 04:17 PM) But to the point: it will never be possible, no CD or DVD burner has ever been altered to burn console based CD or DVD games which run without a modchip. There's simply too many areas on a DVD where they can physically stamp anything, where a standard DVD burner simply can't go. Otherwise we would have seen PS1 CD's with the 'errors' inserted by burning software. And PS2, same thing. Unfortunately, it's just not possible (in my opinion!).
Finally someone with the right idea.
This is not a Wii specific problem but one for all console game discs. So by now someone would have burnt a perfect copy don't you think?
The "copy protection" as you call it is nothing more than the check wheather the inserted discs is a pressed one or a burnt one.
The simple check wheather or not the discs intendifies itselfs as DVD-/+R is all the drive needs to do.
(The drive could for example read the
ATIP Information)
And since this information resides in
every single blank disc you can buy and is physically not rewriteable you have no chance to burn a disc that will not be recognized as a burnt one.
What a drivechip does is simply changing the RAM value of the recognised disc type. (The drive needs to be put in debug mode first to get access to its RAM)
EDIT: BTW Without the ATIP information no burner could write a CD-R/DVD-R. It wouldn't know where to start and how to wind the spiral over the media's surface (Sorry if the description is unclear - I wasn't sure how to formulate it in English).
So let's just think for only one second you could get rid of the ATIP information you had to manually adept your firmware/software/whatever for every new batch of blank media...
