Hacking How does the Wii drive know that it is a burned disc?

[Relys]

nintendo has special burners and we don't have.

It's not a burner. Think of it like the difference between a old fashion printing press and a laser printer.

It stamps the disk with the data. It crushes, and embeds it into the disk physically.

The only way to get around it is to trick the hardware/software to not be able to tell the difference.

Please refer all questions to Post 27

Until you are able to do that, YOU are not able to make a Wii Disc to play in your Wii without a modchip.

Dear God that was amazing... Wow, thanks for that.

I'm pretty sure a bar code similar to this one gets pressed to the inner ring of the disk:

It just stores data of where the disk was pressed, but the Wii checks for that.

Until your able to do that, and know the exact coding Nintendo puts on the area of the disc that isn't writable by common DVD Burners, you'll never be able to make a Nintendo Wii official disc!

What about softmodding the DVD drive? Similar to an Xbox 360, so the laser looks for Nintendo's press info on the first writable spot on the disk.
