I have tried burning Pikmin2 and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles to no avail. I have used ImgBurn and also nero to no luck at all. I am using a memorex dvd - r and i dont know if that has a part in the problem, or if its the backup loader on my wii. I put in a regular wii game and used the backup loader on it and it launched just fine with no problems, but when i put the burned game in there it wont read the disc and gives some kind of error that i cant make out due to it looking like its got two messages written on the same space. Can someone please tell me what im doing wrong and how to fix it, im kinda tired of goin through dvd's and different programs to have this work. Thank you for any and all help!
Does the error look something like "error 324 (no cios)"? If so you have not hacked your Wii enough to play backup games on it. Simply having a backup launcher alone is not enough to play backups games on a Wii. A custom IOS is necessary to get them working along with it. There are different ways to accomplish getting this on a Wii, but the easiest and most compatible method with any type of Wii on any firmware is using WiiPower's Trucha Bug Restorer (unless you're already below FW 3.2 in which case you already should have the trucha bug).
Anywho, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltrd3oq8hPc...re=channel_page
This shows how to use the Trucha Bug Restorer and what you need to do with it. You need to use it to downgrade IOS15, then run it again off of IOS15 to install an IOS36 with the trucha bug to IOS36, and then restore IOS15 back to normal. Once you do this you can run the cios rev13a installer and choose IOS36 and do a network installation and it should install properly. This cIOS will install as IOS249 and should be used for anything else in the future such as installing wad's with wad manager 1.4 or updating to a new cIOS.

Is the game you're trying to load pal when you're playing on an ntsc system or something? You need to go into the options of whatever loader you're using for the game and change the video mode to like force ntsc or console default or something that isn't the wrong region.
I installed that, I have that gamma loader that came with that package and another loader that I can't think of. pikmin2 loads without forcing ntsc but the screen moves but when its forced it won't load.
Mhm...more Infos, please...and also, please: USE THE FREAKING BACKUP-SECTION!!! (Counter how often I said this: 14 times).
Now...many possibilities:
First:
1) Go to the Search-Button
2) Search for "NeoGamma"
3) Use that one
It's better to be Up-to Date, and that loader is awesome!!!
And then:
-Burn the games at slower Speed (4x?)
-Check if ISO isn't corrupt before burning (if possible).
-Vertify your burning process
-Try another brand for the DVDs (ex. Verbatim)
-Install the cIOS again
-Toy around with the Settings in NeoGamma (Force Language, Force Video Mode).
That's all that comes in my mind...

Blue-K is right but there is something easier (I think so)
-> use a USB Loader: faster, doesn't need DVD, cannot be a bad burn, ... so why keep DVD?

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:
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:
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?

@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

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:
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 -
