Hacking does a wii with wiikey support big dvd-r gc disks?

[modshroom128]

im going to put a snes emulater on my wii that comes with a whole bunch of snes games (i currently own)...

im going to burn the iso to a full sized 4.7 gig dvd-r...

if wiikey accepts gamecube homebrews, will it accept big sized dvds???

I believe it does, its under the specs.

The problem I've had is that the SNES emu (sensgx) wouldn't recognize the Wii DVD drive and wouln't let me load roms from there. I got the emu to load of DVD fine though, I had it sized at just over a gig.

In GC mode will it read over the 1.4gb or whatever the GC disks are??

Gamecube images burned to 4.7 gig normal sized disks work just fine.

Can someone post a sticky stating that? It seems like someone asks this question every week.

I know it can read a gc game on a full size disk the same as my gc can, What I was saying is can it read the FULL 4.7gb in GC mode?? Not just the usual gc game image size!!!

If you went to wiikey site you'd find out...

"Supports fullsize 4GB discs for gamecube homebrew"

source...wiikey.cn

"Supports fullsize 4GB discs for gamecube homebrew"

That still dosnt explain it!!! We all know it can run and support a game/homebrew from a fullsize disk but can it read the full 4.7gb?

What, pray tell, do you plan on putting on the other 3.2 gigs?

There is no way to currently load multiple iso images onto a disk to have multi boot games on the disk, and I don't think there's even 1.47 gig worth of homebrew out there, nor will there probably ever be, so why do you even care?

I have a wiikey on pre-order, and definitely hope to play NES, SNES, N64, and GBA games via homebrew (didn't know wiikey did that!)..

If you can't fill a DVD with Roms, where do you put the roms for the emulator to find them and play them?

DVD playback. GameCube was physically unable to read beyond 1.4 GB, now that limit's gone.

Thanks for that MaHe, Thats all I needed to know
