^^ you might need to let it sit for a while. my house of the dead does that. i let it sit for like 5 minutes and it starts up (slow loading)

I let it sit overnight, and it never loaded. I do find it odd that my wiimote never disconnected though.

One Piece: Unlimited Cruise NTSC-J converted to PAL with WiiFrii

Works perfectly. Long load times at initial startup but once into the game it barely lags at all apart from when switching out characters and opening the menu, but only very slightly. Also FMVs (I think the game has about 3 and theyre all skipable) are slightly choppy.

this invalid iso happened to me too, I just burnt it with Nero instead and it worked perfectly. In fact, I've used nero from then on.

I used Nero to burn it at first, but I was stuck with a green screen. I made what dazz159 told me and it is now working perfectly. I think you can try both approaches, but it's good to have a workarround if you're stuck

Do WiiScrubbed files work with the ISO loader??

 

[Meowayne]

Yes.

 

[Luigi728]

I think I understand everything here!
I'm new here, but defenitely not a noob^^
The only thing I want to know now is:
What's the recommended burn speed?
I read here things about 2x 3x 4x 8x
Wich one is the best?

 

[Prisoner]

I still don't get one thing....
but the patcher, the backup-creator.exe ......does it block updates or not??
If a game (like Wario Land) has a newer update, but I don't want to install it....do I have to brickblock the iso before patching, or the patcher blocks the update in the iso???

Sry, double post...

Sorry for the double post, but I just got a little update. I used dazz159's tip and I was able to run Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaishi 3 [PAL]. It still freezes after loading the battle, possibly because of the Imation discs. Will be re-tested with the other ones.
I decided to keep on trying the ISOs with Imation DVD-R.
I'll still re-run all the tests using TDK or Verbatim disc as soon as I get my hands on them.

After that, the next ISOs I'll download/test are:
Battalion Wars II [PAL]
Mahou Sensei Negima - Neo Pactio Fight [NTSC-J]

That's it for now.

Slower burns are always better, however I have successfully burned StarWars TFU at 8x. So its pretty much up to you...

Not sure if it patches it or not, but there are many people that are using BrickBlock anyway. So I'd say if you want to be sure then run BrickBlock before you put it through the BackupCreator. To my knowledge the BrickBlock doesn't really take that long anyway...

nope, burn it at the highest (or 2nd highest) your media is rated, assuming your drive supports it.
dvd burning is not the same as high speed cd burning.

Is it possible to install DVDX for IOS249 and IOS36 (What "Normal Install" does) at the same time by selecting them in the Advanced Install menu?

When I play an original copy of a game it looks fine, but when I play one of these backups (any that I have made) they look ok but are more grainy and a little pixelated. Anyone else seeing this?

Remember that this loader cannot be expected to be perfect in it's pre-beta phase. It could be because of the slow read speed, but I can't say for sure.

Yea, I know it's still an unofficial beta. But I just wanted to bring it up in case someone else notices it, they would know that they aren't alone.
