Hacking DVDs not loading.

[Scott-105]

So, I'm using NeoGamma R8. When I try to load a DVD backup, it be Gamecube or Wii, "I get DVD Read Error (1167)". When I load from USB it works fine. It's just disks that are not working. Any ideas as to what's going on?

Wii:
Region: NTSC-U running 4.1U
cIOS38r17
Sony DVD+Rs
Tried NeoGamma and USB loader GX...Neither worked

I also tried Memorex DVD-Rs, but when I put it in the drive, NeoGamma says there is no disk, and USB loader GX starts loading then reboots the Wii.

Possibly a D3-2 drive?

Possibly a D3-2 drive?

No way. I got my Wii on release day back in 2006.

They are DVD+R

No, I don't know how. (sorry I'm a complete noob at wii hacking)

 

[WiiPower]

Google bitsetting and/or booktype of DVD+Rs. Oh and it's something only related to DVD+Rs, it's not possible on DVD-Rs. Oh i forgot, you need to bitset DVD+Rs to DVD-Rs if you want to use them in your Wii.

 

[Scott-105]

lol omg I'm such a fail. I tried doing what you said Wiipower but I don't know which DVD burner I have.

 

[Scott-105]

Wow, I am having TERRIBLE luck with this

I got some DVD-Rs from a friend and NeoGamma says there is no DVD. Wtf is going on lol

 

[WiiPower]

Do you know about the backup resistant drives? Are you sure your Wii doesn't have one of these?

 

[Scott-105]

Yes, I know about back up resistant drives. I don't think I can have one, because I got my Wii at launch day.

 

[KirovAir]

Yes, I know about back up resistant drives. I don't think I can have one, because I got my Wii at launch day.

Which brand of DVD-R's did you use?
Also, DVD+R's do not work normally on a Wii without a modchip. You need to bitset them as WiiPower said.

DVD-R's should work with almost every brand, but, ofcourse, there are some exceptions.

 

[Scott-105]

I used Memorex DVD-Rs.

Also, I'm gonna try bitsetting my DVD+Rs, but I don't know which drive I have. Any way to find out which drive it is?

 

[egurgle]

Sry my fault dude,,,,
are ur wii new? lu70+
cause newer wiis cant read DVD cause D3-2 drive,, this "new" chipset just allow original DVD games. And USB softmod is working fine!
i think this is ur problem... d3-2 chipset.

i softmod 5+ wii 4.2u this weekend and all LU74. All failed to run DVD backup but worked perfect through USB device.

i hope this solve ur doubt.

peace
