I just have my Wii modded with a Cyclowiz chip.
I burned all my games with Nero on TDK 1-16x DVD+R with speed 6x.
When I put them in my Wii, they aren't recognized. Does anyone know where the problem is?

A> Try bitsetting the DVD+R to be recognized as a DVD-ROM
B> Try burning slower
C> Is the disc image unscrambled?
D> If all else fails, maybe it's your installation.

Do you have the first generation Wii?
 
Try using DVD minur R's because +R's are usually read worse. Use the slowest write speed possible and if that doesn't help change the manufacturer. For example Gamecube could read the best with Ritek G4 or something else from Ritek dunno exactly.

What do you mean by the bitsetting part?

The disc images are unscrambled.
The installation was ok, because some burned games were demonstrated by the installer.

EDIT: Gonna try to burn it with ImageBurn now, with the setting to burn as DVD-ROM.
 
had the same prob with NFSC - one file was 2mb smaller than the others, but the problem was that the PAR2 check said it was ok! So just downloaded another nfsc upload (also from Wierd ofcourse) and that was the right size so it unpacked correctly.

So you can't alway rely on the PARs, this one probably was MADE with a corrupt file

for the momment i've just open the isos and burn it directly...will it work ?
 
What burner do you have psykopat?
Some Burners will auto bitset.
Most won't though and some cant do it at all.

What program sould i use for burning the Wii .iso's?Is Nero 7 the best choice?
I recommend ImgBurn as I have twice already in this thread

NERO should be fine though.
 
thanx for your fast help ^^ i've a TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B HP08 (ATA)
unfortunately it appears that your drive doesn't support bitsetting. Also it may have trouble writing at good quality with many different types of media, see here.
This page has the latest firmware for your drive which may help with media compatability but won't enable bitsetting.

What is bitsetting and how do we know if our burners can do it?

Do you know if the LG GSA-H42N and LG GSA-H42L burners are any good?
 
Yeh psykocat, i also burnt on dvd+r, best thing for me, i burnt the games then put them back in my dvd drive and used nero info tool and it said the booktype was dvd_rom so it worked, i never changed anything at all, even when i installed it, so could be interesting. i also ordered the wiinja and awaiting delivery. i have nero 7. just check with nero info tool to see if the disk read says booktype dvd_rom. at least i'll say this then watch, it won't work lol
 
First off i am talking about usa/ntsc wii games.

So if it is already iso'd, do you still need to try and unscramble it? If so do you mount it first?
 
I just joined today, seeing as how I just got a Wiinja chip and this site seems to be best Wii scene-related site going.

Just wondering, the "Do not talk about warez, where to get it, how you get yours, etc" page long disclaimer I signed at the start, I take it that it's lip service only then in this site? Other console scene sites I follow enforce this rigidly, doesn't seem to be the case here.

Not having a dig at anyone, I don't care what you do, just so I know the bounds and not to overstep them.

I wondered about this as well. But generally it can be summed up as ask for the rom/iso = no, no. But IF you have the rom/iso already then we can help... kinda.

We'll all suppose that it concerns downloading the iso of a game he already owns because he doesn't have the right dvd player in his computer to make a backup

Burning the DVD+R as DVD-Rom did the trick. Thanks for the advice!
