    They didn't tell you what they installed??? Crack it open and take a pic for us.

    I'm going to test a backup with Imation DVD+R. Should it work on ALL the modchips?

    Is it possible to just email or contact the person who you bought it off. I wouldnt buy a premodded console without knowing what chip is in it. Although at the moment all the wii chips are pretty much the same feature wise.

    If the +R disc doesn't work, try -R before you lose hope.

    You have to change the extension from .gcm to .iso then burn. Also, RWs aren't a good idea and not always compatible. If you are playing on Wii, you don't need mini-DVDs for cube games, you can burn to a full size DVD. DVD-R is the most compatible type.

    I'll try that. But is my ISO corrupted? It shows up as blank if I burn it on the PC?

    Another question, where exactly is the Wii warranty supposed to be?

    Thanks.

    I think it's normal that it doesn't show any data on a PC, I have a mac though and it tells me that the disc is using an unknown format.

    Do you mean the warranty card? It should be with the user manuals. I think if you take off the thin white stickers that hide screws, that is technically breaking the warranty (along with installing a chip of course [​IMG] ).

    What program are you using to burn your game?

    Nero Burning ROM. Testing GC game now with Imation DVD+R at 8x. Then I'll test with GIGAMAX DVD-R. Wish me luck [​IMG]

    ISO is bad, Nero couldn't complete burning, I tried it on the Wii, results:

    Imation DVD+R at 8x gives : An error has occured, please restart the Wii,etc..
    Notice, this is not "Unable to read disc".

    I'll get another backup and report back [​IMG].

    How do you know they didn't give you a WiiFree? You know...those have a low cost price.

    What's wrong with them?

    I doubt it because it's not really popular.
    PS: I got it from Abu Dhabi.

    Now, I have some questions:

    -Does "RegionFrii" actually work with PAL --> NTSC conversion?
    -Is there a Region converter for GameCube games?

    For gamecube, you can use GCOS's selfboot multi-boot loader, it's really rockin. It's on maxconsole somewhere, I'm too lazy to post the link, but it's awesome. Not only can you set the screen refresh rate for PAL games on an NTSC TV, you can boot more than one game that's burned to the DVDr.

    About the RegionFrii, I'm a little confused. Maybe someone who has tried PAL -> NTSC-U could help out. Does it boot, but display in 50hz? Or will it display correctly?
