Ok so I use Maxwell DVD-Rs for my Wii games which work perfectly but I accidentally bought Maxwell DVD+R and before I return them I wanted to know would I really receive a different result if I used them. So basically I'm asking does it really matter if I use + or -
A lot of people will tell you the +r don't work, but they do. Just make sure to change the booktype to dvd-rom and they will work fine.
Depends what software you are using to burn it. I use Imgburn which gives me the option through that. There should be an option called 'change book type' in it, on the screen where you select the iso file.
I have been using Verbatim DVD+R disks since I first modded my Wii like two years ago. Using Cyclowiz v2
Look around here. I've tried DVD+R's a few times and zilch for me. I've tried the same iso on both DVD+R and DVD-R discs and only the DVD-R discs work. I've even changed the book type. Do you need to burn at 2.4x speed or something? DVD-R are usually the same price anyway so it doesn't matter. I've still got 90+ Verbatim DVD-R's to use
I normally use DVD-Rs myself. I do have a few DVD+RWs that I've tested on a Wii with the booktype set to 'DVD-ROM' and they worked. Was really useful for testing games, before the USB loader came out.
yeah i just swapped them out for DVD-Rs........saves me all the trouble. Umm and a little off subject what is this usb loader ive heard so much about
It allows you to put your Wii isos on a usb hard drive and play them that way. Saves you burning and swapping dvds all the time. Search and you will find out more.
Maxell +R's seem very flakey - the -R's are much better for the Wii (I have both here) - check out the compat list - http://wiki.nintendo-scene.com/Wii_Media_Compatibility_Chart
I would put the strain on the Wii's laser more down to cheap media, then the difference between + and - media.
Yes, as an engineer of optical lasers, your assertion that it makes perfect sense is as valid as it is reliable.
The guides say I have to set it to what I have. I'm not sure if that meant the disk or my drive, my computer says my drive is a Hitachi (I think that I'm looking in the right slot for that) and the disk I'm using is a Memorex.. But I don't see options for either in imgburn. What am I supposed to do? EDIT: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/manaleader/...atdoidohere.jpg
