Hacking Getting ready for SSBX (Wiikey related)

[Redsquirrel]

imgburn is compatable with dl discs from standard install.

 

[Gitaroo]

IMGburn will detect the iso size and burn it on the dvd that would fit the data. no need to change anything

#3 - Use a DL disc I already have.

 

[Rammoth]

Cool, thanks for the answer

I just noticed some options concerning DL discs in the preferences, so I was starting to wonder if I would need to change anything, but case solved ^^

Just to double check if I'm getting the right discs for SSBX/future DL Wii games... (living up to my newbie status with this one

)

Here's a 10 pack of Verbatim DVD+R DL (Double Layer) that I'm thinking about getting:
http://www.verbatim.com/products/detail-bu...FB35571D951F627

Questions I have:

1. Is DVD+R DL (Double Layer) the correct type? (as opposed to Dual Layer / DVD-R DL)
2. Do you think the Verbatim brand shown in the above link would be a high enough quality to run backups on a NTSC-U Wii w/wiikey? (So far I've been using Sony DVD-R without any trouble.)
3. ImgBurn shows that my drive can burn DVD+R DL, but not DVD-R DL. Is that a problem at all?

Thanks in advance.

Where is the option,

3-Wait for the game to be released in MY region, by then wiikey will boot original disc.

cause who ISN'T buying brawl?

It's not the "buy" that's the problem - I'd gladly drop $100 or more for a copy that worked - but the "wait".

Verbatim is pretty much the highest quality you can get and even better than Sony. DVD-R seems to have been causing less trouble with Wii's than +R, though you could use both I believe. If you have the option, go for -R.

Make sure you can burn -R though, otherwise try +R. In the +R case, I would wait for another member to reply though, since I can only advice you on -R, since I've been using those all along.

Hope it helps a bit.

Thanks, but I'm not really concerned about burning standard wii games (DVD-R / DVD+R)

I guess my main question is this: Is SSBX Double Layer (DVD+R DL) or Dual Layer (DVD-R DL)?
I haven't seen any clarification (mostly people just saying it's "DL"), and as far as I know, they're not the same thing.

Do you think the Double Layer (DVD+R DL) discs shown in the above link would work for creating a backup of SSBX / future DL Wii games?

 

[ohnoeee]

hmmm.. I've been using Memorex for all kinda of burning process for years now because it was always the more reliable brand. Not cheap and not too expensive. But with Wii games is it that much different than Verbatim? Some of my burns, like Sonic Riders 2 always freeze during a specific moment on the FMVs, and that was with Memorex at 1x. Does the other brand just run more smoothly for Wii, or is that just everyone's preference for burning media?

 

[jalaneme]

yeah grade F media is cheap but in the long run will wear out your laser and the dye on the dvd won't work anymore, i will only buy high quality media, and btw memorex is the worst grade F media of them all.

as this guide shows here (check the media codes of your blank disc to find the grade of your media)
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

and just a example of how expensive dual layers are in europe.

5 dvd+r maxell dual layers for £17.99 converts to $35, yes thats right!

Verbatim DVD+R 8.5GB 2.4x DoubleLayer Printable 25 Spindle £39.99 converts to $79.62!

so you see, i would rather buy the game than spend that kind of money on a couple of dual layers.

 

[hackeruk]

is verbatim a gd media?

 

[jalaneme]

is verbatim a gd media?

yes, A grade, it's fine.

 

[hackeruk]

gdgd its what i use for my 360 games so i will just that

I was quite happy to spend £15, enjoy your wait for "TBA 2008".

 

[Redsquirrel]

eh? you can get a pack of 10 "aone" dual layer discs for about £5 now in UK.

 

[Hideous]

I'm so spending $7 on a dual layer disc. It's far cheaper than buying the game.

 

[Lloyd14]

Do I need to use the dual layer disks for the update? cuz my wii couldn't read the 1.9g(SMG) update.
And do I need to use dual layer disks in the future for updates?
Or are the dual layer disks for SSBB?

Thanks in advance!

 

[mickthestud]

this is very confusing 1 - i dont get why the game is on a dual layer disc to begin with i thought all wii games were 4.37 gb 2-someone earlier said even original games wont work that cant be right i thought the wiikey was disabled when a original disc was inserted .and i am guessing you wont be able to use raw dump to dump the iso either i think this is ever worse than the galaxy protection,atleast the original worked.
