First of all, hello to everyone

Second, I'm sorry in advance if I missed any topic that already explained how to fix this... o:

I've started using homebrew since last week, and I've burnt three games so far. All 3 of them worked perfectly!
Today I tried playing Samba de Amigo though, and although its in the compatibility list, I just get a black screen. I'm on firmware version 3.2E (but I also tried it on 3.3E, I downgraded to see if it made any difference). Because the compatibility list says YES/NO I've tried both a patched and an unpatched dvd, but they both didn't work.

So I thought that maybe I could use GeckoOS instead... but when I try booting the game, I just get an error saying 'ERROR: No Dvd'. It does this with the games that work in Gamma 0.3 as well, which seems pretty weird to me... why can't they be read?

I can't imagine it being a faulty DVD, because I burned it twice and both DVDs didnt work. I must admit that they're DVD+Rs, but all the other games are DVD+Rs as well and they work great.

So my question is, how can I possibly play this game?

EDIT: I'm using a PAL Wii, and the game is PAL as well. I've also tried forcing it to PAL in GeckoOS, not that it would do anything, but still.

first of, dont use +r dvds there is just no point in it
second, after you have burned it in a dvd-r test it in dvdinfopro to see if you have burned it in the best speed for you (you should burn between 8x and 16x) less than 60% of quality is a coaster
third, it can just be the iso, so after you do all of that and you really want that game, just "download" it from another source

hope it was helpfull

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
