Hacking Super Smash Bros Brawl (PAL) Issues

[Boggot]

i did not try it myself, but i read on anothe rpost that a guy tested the same method with imgburn and used a particular layer break reccomended for d2pro's and he still got the white screen of death

and to be honest i dont think its the Drive itself as it boots up fine and begins lading. it just gets stuck after saving game data

It's the Wii not the image.

Then, have you also the answer if i say that the NTSC DL works fine and the PAL doesn't? They are the same discs, only difference is the region.

I don't know - it's a statement from Nintendo regarding the PAL version discs, not the US version.

Well, if i remember correctly, they have brought out exact the same text for the NTSC version, because i remember this text from earlier, when the NTSC was just released, and they had also trouble reading the discs, but this was a different way then these PAL discs.

So it basically is affecting both regions in different ways. But the DRE's shouldn't even happen should they?
Didn't Nintendo think of the strong possibility that developers would be designing a game that wouldn't fit on a DVD-5.

Seems incompetent to me.
(Nintendo's 'cleaning' basically means adjusting the pot-screw)

Do I have faulty Wii? When I insert DVD+DL it clicks three times, and stops. Even blank DVDs spins for a second!

Maybe I must adjust a pot? How? I had done it with GameCube with good result.

edit: 300 posts! Yay!

Do you hear a soft beep when the disc spins up? That means it's loading the disc.

The clicking means the lens is not reading the disc properly - so the chances are that your disc is improperly burned or your lens needs adjusting.

I'll try again with VERBATIM and with another DVD burner.

And again: How to adjust pot?

I normally use nero. I tried to use imgburn but it's somewhat complicated.

 

[mattlouf]

oh boys!
just do it like i said in posting #101

just buy some good quality DVD+R DL's and the game will work!!!! (Verbatim!)

you don't need to do any sh*t with layerbreaks!
- open Nero
- open the iso
- burn (i did 4x)
- insert in your wii
- play!

This was taken from here - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=92308&st=105

I never burn Wii games with Nero, because they generally all fail with burning. Nero can't open them (Unknown image) or after burning it can't read the disc. I would really be surprised if it suddenly worked for this one.

I tried twice Imgburn : they both failed (one DL stopped at 50% and 1 DVDRW laggy as hell)
I always use Nero and never had a problem
I just ran Nero for my second DVDDDL and it worked 1st time.
So yes, NERO DO WORKS , and in my case : FAR BETTER !!

I just burned it with ImgBurn with a manual layer break at 2.4x with "Memorex DVD+R DL" and it works a charm

I just tried to burn it with the guide from the previous page. I downloaded that .dvd file and used it, putted the layerbreak in, and also changed the speed to 2.4x. It burned like a charm, but due to that my burner don't understand 2.4x, it burned at 4x. Anyway, it works now!! Thanks a lot!

Look in this guide for what you need to do: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=91738
It's under "Steps to get Brawl on to DVD9 (no trimming)."

It also got the link for the file in there, it's under the word "this" in "Download this file".

 

[skawo96]

The file was removed. Could you upload yours? Also, what it does?

I dunno what it does, but it's helping really if your previous discs all fails.
I uploaded it to my own webserver, here it is: http://supertosti.furion.nl/stuff/Super_Sm...Bros._Brawl.zip
Enjoy!

Look in the guide how to use it!

 

[Kokorazashi]

Ok, so I'm downloading this and before I waste any DVD9 discs I need to clear things up.

So I can use IMGBurn or Nero (I have both so whatever) and just burn it without doing a layer break and it will work and no booktyping needed? I'm getting a PAL one for my PAL Wii (Duh!)

EDIT: I don't know if my burner is for DL, how can I check?

 

[stevet]

Just to let you know

I have a Pal Wii 3.3 firmware with the latest wiikey 1.9s.

Burnt using Nero V8.3.2.1 on Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL

Worked first time great with my Sony DVD burner. Didn't have any problem with the US SSBB using the same disks.

A: I'll suggest IMGburn, it will also answer one more of your questions.
B: I suggest using the layerbreak.
C: If your burner supports booktype, i recommend using it, not only for this game but all Wii games.
D: If you have a DL, put it in your burner, open IMGburn, select Write image to disc and check the right part, it will show you data about a lot of things, also about the disc that's inserted. If you can see that a DL is inserted, then it is supported, if it says No disc then it doesn't.

Not everyone is that lucky, if i try to burn any Wii game with Nero, it always fails. (Yes, i have the same Nero as you) Also i have still firmware version 3.2E, because of the trouble with 3.3, and i'll wait until it's 100% secure to upgrade before i do so.

 

[Slimmmmmm]

I have searched the forums and the comments for the .iso but still cant get this to work.
In the comments someone else said they had the clicking drive problem, but it was resolved after updating the chip. I'm absolutely gutted about this.

I burned to THE best DL Dvd's you can get Verbatim +DL (from Singapore, not india), I added the layerbreak manually. 2084960

I tried it on my Wii (3.1E) with my WiiKey, it wouldn't work, I wont even display the game in the channel, it just makes a couple of clicking noises and then says the old "unrecognised disc". I updated the WiiKey to 1.9s from the official WiiKey site, and still, CLICK, CLICK STOP ! ! !

Why the clicking?

So...
SSBB WiiKey 1.9s on 3.1E, Verbatim DL+ (Singapore) and added the layerbreak manually in IMGBurn.

What am I missing? I only have a couple of DL's left to try.

In one of the topics I saw that there is a .dvd file to burn with SSBB, I've downloaded that, but not tried it yet, because I thought it might just be a way to set the layerbreak, does it do something different, and how can I get this to work, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeez :-)
