Hacking Is wiikey working OK

[kiteman]

Before everyone goes mental. I've done a search but just need some conformation.

I've got a wiikey, config disc works fine, but burnt games don't.
iso size of games is 4.37gb
burning onto sony dvd+r using sonic recordnow.

Just want to know, if config disc works OK does this mean that the chip is working OK, if so why don't the games work, am i missing something.

STEVE

all i do to get backups of my games to run is use dvd-r, burn at 4x and away they go, i think ur right in saying they should run if the config disk runs have u tried a real wii game?

Make sure to set booktype to dvd-rom if you use a dvd+r. Otherwise the wii doesn't recognise a dvd+r disc.

How do I change the booktype I can't find where to do it on recordnow. do I need different burning software.

I didn't change booktype for config disc and that works fine

Yes original games work fine.

try using imgburn, that lets you set booktype

If the config disc works does this mean that the chip is working correctly.

Mine works eventhough I do not change the bitsetting to dvd-rom. Have you tried using different media? I use +R verbatims and they work great, never had a bad burn yet.

in imageburn you can change your burners booktype for +r, if it gives you an error your drive does not support bitsetting. Google for the newest firmware for your burner or some hacked ones that do support it.

For example I have a NEC ND3500AG, I couldn't change my booktype on it, because the official firmware doesn't support it. I flashed it with MadDog's hacked firmware and I can change it all I want.

So remember, set DVD+R to DVD-ROM for wii games!

In my experience, some DVD+R brands work and some DVD+R brands do not. I've never had a DVD-R not work though... they are 100% reliable (note that I also burn at 2.4x using CloneCD). Go to Wal*Mart, spend the $15 on some good DVD-R media and watch your worries float away...

Burnt using imgburn and all is OK

Thanks for the help guys

Yeah, use some quality DVD media. I got some TDK DVD-R and my WII will not load with those TDK.

I've got some 'Dysan' discs sitting here (which were very cheap) and decided to give them a try.. they're excellent !!!! Work really well with my Wii. Better so than the TDKs I've been using.

Getting some Verbs today (as I ran out of the Dysan and can't source anymore) so i'm going to see how they compare.
