Im trying to play MadWorld and House of the Dead OverKill. Both of them will start and sometimes show the screen that tells you to wear the wiistrap on. Then a screen comes up that says it cant read the disk.

MadWorld is in NTSC and House of the Dead is PAL. I think if i got a NTSC one it might work.

I need help with the mad world one.

Ive been hacking my wii since the first twilight hack come out so im pretty sure i got just about everything covered. The last hack I did was the system menu 4 but the preloader tells me this


PreLoader 0.29
IOS 30
System Menu v289


Ive tryed loading them in both the disk channel (i got softmii) and in gamma

Is there just something im missing here? or should i wait for softmii3 to arrive?

Yeah, the wii is insanely sensitive about the media you burn on.

If possible, go for "Taiyo Yuden" DVDs. I have not had one bad burn on them, wii has been able to read every single one of them

Now, on the memorex's I was using before I knew that...well, tahst a whole nother story.

Ill try burning it again. Ive been using memorex DVD-R with really no problems so far

EDIT I mean DVD+R

Are you changing the book type to DVD-ROM?

If not, that's your major problem.

over here (netherlands) pretty much every1 uses verbatim-r's (minus). Hell, my local computer shop actually advertises those things as 'wii compatible', I almost real life lol'ed when I saw that. Cheeky bastards.

Idk why I started using plus r!

But i did find a minus r (verbatim) and madworld works just fine!!!!

Its weird how the simplest things can make everything go wrong.

for future reference,
Taiyo Yuden are the best disks in the world - the price reflects this.
they are hard to find outside japan unless you want 100, but they are used by Plextor.

so if you want 50 but cant find them - look for a pack of Plextor blanks.

I had the same problem it was just my backups that were scratched or dirty. Ripped them from original disc and it works flawlessly.

There wasnt a wii error screen. It was the games own screen (it had the madworld font) saying it couldnt read the disk.

I burned it on a DVD-R and it worked fine!

I think im going to stick with memorex, ive never had a problem with them.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
