Hacking One problem leads to another.

[HawtDawg]

Hello.

So basically, after a long day of flashing my NEC drive to read DVD-Rs, installing the correct cIOS and retrieving Verbatim DVDs from the local Best Buy (Memorex's for some reason wouldn't burn), I still continue to hit dead ends. I finally gave up and decided to ask for help.

I am using imgburner.

I have compiled all .rars into one .iso from the folder (the game is The Conduit, btw). I THINK I'm supposed to use the "Write Image File to Disc" option (it's only logical). I have tried write speeds 2.4x and 2x. There IS enough room. The .iso is 4.37 GB and the DVD is 4.7 (obviously).

One time, when I did it at 2.4x, the game ID and other information such as "PAL60forced=No" came up, but then an unreadable error appeared behind the other text. I tried it like 3 times.

Just now, when I was using that same CD to see what exactly came up, the screen actually flashed and went black (as if the game was starting), but then it says

"An error has occurred
Press the Eject Button, remove the
Game Disc, and turn off the power to the
console. Please read the Wii Operations
Manual for further instructions."

and then, I tried again, and the same error popped up in the background (I carefully read it to make out DVD Read Error (and then some numbers, most likely 349 like I have been getting).

I am using Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma
IOS249

I have hit quite the roadblock.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I just tried using the x4 write speed, and now the screen with this:
"An error has occurred
Press the Eject Button, remove the
Game Disc, and turn off the power to the
console. Please read the Wii Operations
Manual for further instructions."
comes up all the time. Maybe I need to do it on x8? (I know it's not recommended).

I recommend trying Neogamma. It is the best option for playing backup disc. I am sure it will play conduit. As far as the burning goes Im not sure what is going on. But you could try a different burning program. Google search for Cdburnerxp it is another good free one.

Much thanks, sir.

Your help is much appreciated, I am going to try this now.

Okay, tried it.

NOW I get Error #001: Unauthorized device has been detected.

I also updated the Wii Menu beforehand.

I'm recommending you burn at the discs rated speed, probably 16X.
I have found that I get the most reliable DVD burns in my current setup burning at 16X max. Your mileage may vary.

imgburn is an outstanding burner. Sony branded DVDs are also exceptional.

As a last resort, I would try using a brand new set of RARs. Re-compile them if you must. I assume you have the game (The Conduit) in which case, you can download the ISO from somewhere.

It's my guess that the RARs got corrupted somewhere.

Just tried Cdburnerxp, got the same result. :[

Hmm, I have seen many people say that 2-4 is the most reliable write speed. I would try your suggestion... but I only have two DVD-R's left and I think it might have to do with my Wii.

The Conduit prompts a system update when you start it up (on the regular disc), right? Would that be required? (I'm not sure, I already updated my Wii to the most current update).

Also, may I add that I have tried ALL of these IOS wads:
IOS38-64-v3609.wad
IOS53-64-v4113.wad
IOS55-64-v4633.wad

And last but not least, on the normal Backup Loader by wiigator, I get Error #002, and now on this NeoGamma one I get Error #001. Interesting.

(Sorry about all of this information).

Yes, that was one of my worries, that I compiled them wrong.

I do think I compiled them correctly, though.

I just extracted one of the RAR's to the folder and it automatically extracted the rest of them.

The first half of the rXX files are .rars, but the second half just have the .rXX extension (Ex: r30-r57)

Also, is there a point to the .sfv file? I didn't see it get extracted into the .iso when I was watching the progress.

Thats normal for half the files to be rars and the rest just r.30-r57 ect, if you dibled clicked the first rar and then hit extract, that correct, as long as WinRar didnt give you an error you are fine

What cios are you using ?

001 error in NeoGamma? --> Either you are trying Wii Sports Resort, or you use the broken cIOS rev12.

Oh yeah?

Could you kindly give me a link to the right cIOS then, please? :]

How exactly is cIOS38rev13 supposed to be installed? The folder is in the apps directory, is it its own app in the homebrew channel?

-rename cIOS38_rev13-Installer.dol to: boot.dol
-open homebrew channel
-select \apps\cIOS38_rev13-Installer
-Select IOS Version: IOS249
-installation mode: Network installation

If are not connected to the internet with your Wii, choose the other option

Much thanks to you! Although I figured that out before I read this post, lol.

Now if only I knew how to explore the contents of an .iso so I can experiment with this.

Might as well ask what the easiest way is here.
