Hi, I'm going to get my Wii Chipped, and I'm wondering, what type of DVD-DL's are used for burning brawl and how well do they work? There isn't a single layered version of the game that works with a ordinary DVD (everything works) is there? :l

On Amazon.co.uk 3 products come up, but 2 are the same product:

Aone 8x speed DVD+R 'DUAL LAYER' Full-Faced Inkjet Printable (10 tub) [10 discs] £2.49 [3 stars 15 reviews.]
Verbatim 43562 DVD+R 2.4x D/Layer 10pk [10 discs] £11.25 [5 stars, one review]

Which one is better? Is there anywhere in the UK to buy dvd-dl's cheaper? Like Woolworths, argos, etc?
Argos sell some but there £15! Thats pretty dear!

Also when I'm burning brawl, I don't exactly understand what I've to do.

If I have Wii Key, do I need the brick blocker? I don't quite understand what brick blocker is etc, this is my first time burning a disc, I just can't wait for brawl.

I read the tutorial stickied, it isn't really clear to that of an unexperienced Wii Pirate Copy Burner.

Single layer DVDs can't hold the entire game, sorry.

Generally, expensive discs are better. I'd go with the Verbatims.

As for BrickBlocker, it's what removes the firmware update from the ISO.
Essentially that means if you are OK with duplicate channels, feel free to skip BrickBlocker.

In my eyes, everything else is pretty self-explanatory.

Alright, TY guys.
I don't quite get brick blocker, although I haven't used it yet.
I'll look more into it once the ISO is done, and I'll buy a couple of Verbatims.

    @K3Nv3, not directly. Mostly use bluetooth earbuds nowadays but when I do/did use IEMs I ran them through a USB C / Bluetooth DAC (FiiO BTR5, but there are newer and/or cheaper models available too)
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I just kinda miss old earbuds just dont know any with type c that have that decent bass

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Consider one of the cheaper USB C to 3.5mm adapters, too. It is technically a DAC as well but less featured, less powerful, and less configurable than something like the FiiO but WAY cheaper and slimmer. https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Adapter-JSAUX-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH That'll get you a lot closer to plain ol plug-in headphones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That paired with any normal IEMs. KZ ZSN Pro are the cheapies that I actually really liked lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah these look cool little dip switches https://a.co/d/0HXRfVf

    huh that's cool, never seen those
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I could still always use my old android phone as a mp3 player but I get lost in the music and miss calls that way

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Thanks for the like and then taking it away
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's been discontinued but you can find em second hand. It's the FiiO model K1.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ nice. I've been using my BTR5 pretty much daily, got it in late 2020. Mostly use it as a desktop DAC though and the battery has already swelled up in it once, so I had to replace it. Some day I gotta grab a proper desktop DAC that doesn't have a battery lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Yeah, cheap and nasty earbuds don't deliver the best mids, they end up sounding really muddy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I got mine around 2022 (iirc) and it was brand new, never opened, and for £15 too compared to paying nearly £30 elsewhere.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Better than tree fiddy
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol
