I had downloaded a wii game for "Back up" purposes, it was a .rar file. I used WinRar to open it and tried burning the iso file using imgburn. I put it in the wii, used the Backup player off of homebrew channel and it doesnt play. I tried using the windows image burner and it says that the file isnt an iso or a bad file. I tried a few different burns to no success. My wii is at 4.0 i believe, i booted a regular wii game on the backup player to see if it would work and it did, i just cant get burned backup games to play. Can someone please help me and let me know what i need to do to get this to work right. Also, when i put the dvd that i burned back in the computer to see if it had antyhing on it, it showed nothing on the dvd but sayed it was already burned.
The homebrew channel alone isn't what lets you play backups it's Waninkoko's custom IOS that enables you to do so. Being on 4.0 you most likely do not have any IOS that have the trucha bug intact so you have to use the Trucha Bug Restorer to downgrade IOS15, install IOS36 with the trucha bug, restore IOS15, and then run a recent cIOS installer like the cIOS rev 13a installer and have that use IOS36 to install (will install as IOS249)
That being said don't try doing anything else on your Wii until you know and understand what it is you are doing and you are sure that you will not screw yourself over doing whatever it is you're doing, and try to look into getting some brick protection like bootmii or preloader if you don't already.

Just search for cIOS rev 13.b and that should install the necessary files. Also tell us which title you are attempting to play so that we can help you as a small number of games do not work.
Are you talking about the trucha bug restorer? Did you already downgrade IOS15 properly? I think you need to downgrade that first and then use IOS15 to install IOS36 with the trucha bug and then restore IOS15. I'm not entirely sure how it exactly works myself as I haven't needed to use it (though I may try it out soon just to see how it does work), but read up more on it to see what you're supposed to do with it and if you really can't figure out what to do after a decent amount of researching then you could ask WiiPower or something or post in a thread on it or something.

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 -

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

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

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

@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!

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

@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 -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
