Today when I went to play an original gamecube game, the wii gave me "an error has occurred" screen as the disc was reading, before i could go to the disc channel. I then tested the game on the backup launcher on the homebrew channel and it worked. I also tested an original wii game, a backup wii game, and a backup gamecube game all on the disc channel and all of them worked. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it?
 
Here's a slightly technical explanation for GameCube games not working. cIOSCORP 3.3 puts the rev14 DIP plugin (the code that reads/emulates a DVD) into IOS30, IOS50, and IOS60 (the IOSes used by System Menu 3.0-4.1). The rev14 DIP plugin adds support for the System Menu, but GameCube games throw an error. (Dual layered games are also broken.)

Reinstalling bc/MIOS would do nothing to solve the problem. (WiiGator's MIOS Patcher 0.2 is a bit better than Waninkoko's, by the way.) There is absolutely no need to downgrade.

You could still load GameCube backups via a loader (NeoGamma, GameCube Backup Launcher).
 
Thanks, so all I have to do is install a different version of ios 60 because I'm on 4.1 right? Also, is WiiGator's MIOS Patcher 0.2 better because it can use the backup launcher from the disc channel or is it because of something else? One more thing, when you say "Dual layered games are also broken" do you mean backups, because my original copy of Smash Bros. works just fine?

I had the same problem, as I had PreLoader set to start SysMenu under IOS249 [rev14] in lieu of MenuPatcher. I just opted to use the Gamma autostart channel I had installed alongside the Disc Channel. Only problem, there seem to be more USB drive recognition errors, oddly enough, and the Wii config screen has a tendency to freeze up. So back to IOS30, everything works fine except ye old Disc Channel. Ahh well.
