Or send it to Ninty, who will clean it for you.

Or softmod your wii and use a usb loader to load it, or burn it to a DVD5.

As I recall, some Wiis are shipped unable to read dual layer games (i.e. Brawl). This means that you either have to open it up to increase the lens sensitivity via screw (which will in turn shorten the lifespan of the lens) or send it to ninty to do it for you.

Around the time Brawl came out, ninty also released an announcement saying that dirty lenses (most often if someone smokes a lot in the room the Wii is in) can also make it not work anymore. Sending the Wii to ninty will let them clean it for you for free (and/or increase the sensitivity as above). The last point is that the disk might also be dirty, in which the solution is obvious.

All that assumes that this is a retail game (it might just be me, but you didn't make it too clear). If it's a backup.... solutions are many - check image, media, burning program, cIOS, and Backup Loader to make sure it's all good. I've yet to see a backup version of Brawl run subspace emissary without crashing at some point, but I know it works in general.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
