Hacking Does the SSBB USA DVD5 work?

[blechner]

I know that this DVD5 version of SSBB is ripped and and may have missing gameplay options, but I think this is the only way to play the game...at least for me... I mean, no DVD5 game has ever failed in my Wii and I can't get any DVD9 to work.
Did anyone download the SSBB USA DVD5? Did it work? What is missing? Since no one is making comments about that release on that website, I am affraid that it doesn't work. Is it really a NTSC-U version? I am downloading this release [Wii] Super Smash Bros Brawl USA DVD5 and not the Super Smash Bros Brawl [NTSC To PAL] [Wii] [DVD 5] [Scrubbed] because I didn't understand what has been done to this iso file. Nobody commented whether it is a NTSC or a PAL release.
Am I breaking any forum rule by saying this? I hope not... I did not post any link to files.
Thank you.

You could make your own Dvd5 of ssbb if you already have the Dvd9 iso

 

[blechner]

Really?? How??
How do I know what is safe to rip off the DVD9 iso?
Thanks!

Here is a tutorial

Just use wiiscrubber and scrub your DVD9 then it would without trouble be a DVD5

Can I create a DVD5 with lower quality cutscenes instead of removing gameplay options? This has been done to God of War 2 and I hope someone can do it for SSBB!!

No you can't

A DVD5 will have every feature but these things dont work on DVD5:

Subspace Emmisarry.
Classic.
Movies.
Online works but with many bugs.

edit the title, mininova=illegal

That's maybe possible, if someone can find a way to re-encode the thp files.

I am sorry, manias, I did not know. How can I edit the title? I tried but I had access only to edit my posts, not the title. Is it something only moderators can do?

I thought SSE was playable but without the vids

I didn't read the entire discussion in the tutorial topic yet, but I understood that the DVD5 had only the movies removed. All cutscenes were redirected to the intro movie. If so, I can't wait to follow the tutorial and create my DVD5 version!! I would not be very happy if I had to play SSBB with missing gameplay options... Movies are not essential as I can download them later and watch them in my computer when someone uploads them somewhere.

All you need to do is to use wiiscruber on the dvd9 iso

But I wonder if the game will ask for an update, and if regionfrii is needed

 

[blechner]

I think the game will ask for that update that enables the wii to run DL medias. I heard people saying that the 3.2U update is not mandatory because brawl runs on 3.1U. I hope so because my Wii is 3.1U and I am afraid to run the 3.2 update. I don't know what modchip I have...
As for the regionfrii, why would I need that? I mean, my wii is NTSC-U and so is the brawl iso. Please correct me if I am saying something wrong here. I may have misunderstood the aim of regionfrii.
Thanks.

Theres NO update that enables dual layer.
Thats bullshit the Wii allways could read DL dvd's.
Either the drive can read dual layers or the drive cannot.

And the Wii has a DVD Drive with daul layer reading abbilities.

If my wii is Pal do I need to use regionfrii on the dvd5 dump ?
