So, I've burned a PAL copy of pikmin 2 (my wii is ntsc-u) for my d2pro. When I insert the disk, the gamecube logo shows on the wii disk channel, but when I press start, I just get a black screen. what's the problem? bad burn? bad iso? bad media? in truth I don't know what kind of disk I used, the label was blank.

PS: I am using a mac and used disk utility for the burn

It says something about GCOS, so maybe that means I must use GCOS to boot it. How do you use GCOS anyway?

We were talking about GameCubeOS, or are that and GeckoOS the same? I'm confused...
Nooooooo!


GeckoOS = Wiigames
GCOS - Gamecube Operating System. = GC games.

But I think still it's bad burn.

That doesn't sound like a backup... more like a downloaded pirate copy.

I used to own an original copy of pikmin 2. then it broke so I couldn't make a back up, so I decided to download it. Pretty much a backup.

Pikmin 2 is getting hard to find now anyways.

I got lucky and picked mine up a year ago for $20 new.

    you can sync trophies

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
