I have burned twice so far, once with Verbatim DataLife Plus DVD-R and once with Taiyo Yuden Premium DVD-R. I used ImgBurn at 4X with verification on a NEC ND3550A burner. Both times ImgBurn reports successful burns. I will try one more time with some Maxell media that I have laying around. Anything else you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time and your generosity.
I just re-tested this and did not see a problem. I think the looping metroid vids you are seeing is normal. you can skip them using start+a or minus-button+2.
I started a new SSE round, skipped intro movie, played as Kirby, beat mario, vv_'s relinked Samus video plays 3-4 times, screen. last frame of video then shows and you use d-pad to select character. note that in sse mode, the char sel portraits aren't visible with this dvd5 rip. that is why the last frame of the relinked video is still onscreen.
