Hacking GC2-D3-2

[kublai]

I just got a Wii over Thanksgiving and I beleive it's one of the newer D3-2 firmware since I cannot locate it in the wii serial database. Serial # starts with LU792xxx. Is there a hard mod or can you softmod this to play from backup DVDs? I saw in ZXXY's guide about something that this version will not play off DVDS?

no switch out the drive or get into USB loaders

get usb loader its better but first try to burn s disk and try running it if works u dont have the newst drive but if u cant u might have it so if it doesnt work go for usb loading.

Thanks all for the quick reply. I guess I'm just way too late in the game. I assume the simplistic guide on here will work since it said "All Wii?"

The drives don't do anything to stop softmodding, it just prevents them from reading backups at all.

No duh. Of course the drive stops us from playing backups with it. FYI the reason it does this is nintendo fixed the drive firmware....... Does anyone know if the DVDx still works with the drive? if it dosen't well I'm not surprised...... Nintendo finally figured out how we've been able to exploit the drive....

I wouldn't expect DVDx to function. In the D3-2 drives, Nintendo removed the DVD mode from the drive firmware.

Personally I recommend the Western Digital MyPassport Essential series, although I've read about problems with newer revisions of those drives...
