Help! Wii wont load gamecube disks.

[tentaclebanshee]

Hello! I have a super old wii, I've had it about 12 years now, about 7 years ago, my mom's boyfriend modded it with a few different things. I have lost the external hard drive but decided to just purchase some disks to play instead. I just got a copy of The Urbz for game cube and it loads on the screen, but after I click play, the screen goes black and stays that way. I have no knowledge of wii modding, and no way to contact the person who did it before. Wii games work fine. Anything I can do to make this work? I've tried resetting it, it hasn't been updated or linked to the web since it was modded because I was told it would brick the console.

Has your wii ever successfully played GC "Discs", or is this your 1st attempt ?

There's couple reasons why this could happen:

1- Bad Laser
2 - Bad Disc Drive (like the entire hardware not just one component)
3 - Scratched Disc
4 - I'd say cIOS/IOS messed up... but it's very unlikely and you'd have to be extra dumb to achieve that while modding a Wii.

So, use Nintendont and SD Card. Your game will fit in a 2GB SD card.

Post a syscheck that will show outdated, older apps & possible conflicts.

It might have dios mios or something you may need to install RVL-mios-v10.wad and BC-NUS-v6.wad you can get them from modmii or nus downloader. you should do the syscheck.

You have probably already thought of this, but does it have GameCube controller ports on the side/top?
