Whenever I try running most of my burned games, I get this error from BackupLoader:

Sorry about the poor quality, but it says DVD(a bunch of jumbled text). I get this error for nearly every game I've burned, the only working ones being Wii Music and Geometry Wars, and even those get this error sometimes. I'm pretty sure I've followed all the guidelines - what would be causing this error, and how do I fix it?

I can't decipher much, but the second part it seems like it says "failed" and the overlapped text says "DVD"

ANY DVD burner can burn Wii games.

To rip Wii ISOs, you will need an LG dvd drive.

You dont need an LG drive to burn wii games.

P.S.

Are you using DVD+Rs?

If you are, you have to set the booktype to "DVD-Rom"

If you are, you have to set the booktype to "DVD-Rom"
or use Waninkoko's dumper.

It says "Set Error:No DVD" and "Decrypt Failed"

You can try:
Checking to make sure the CIOS is installed properly.
Making sure you burn at a good speed (1-2.4x)
Making sure your brand isn't crap
Making sure you booktyped if it isn't a DVD-R.

It could also be your drive is too old to burn a quality disc. I have this problem too for every game except the GHIII DLC edition I downloaded(which works flawlessly at a quality rating of 0% idk how). My drive is about 3 years old and when I run DVDinfopro I always get a quality rating of 0% and sometimes it won't even finish and instead immediately give me an unrecoverable read error. Tuesday I will try burning these games at work to see if it's my drive or if I'm just burning bad images. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Burn at the speed that is labeled on the disc.

If the disc says 16x, burn at 16x.

I have burned at 16x and have not had a single coaster.
I've heard far too many story's of discs becoming coasters from burning too fast. Hell I think it's worth a try. I burn all my disc's at 2.4x and they're labeled 16x. 16x is just the maximum the disc itself can possibly handle. (And DVD-R's tend to always be 16x)

It was stated in another post by wiigator (too lazy to search for it) that this is caused by a bad cios install. reinstall the .3 cios or the read-retry, NOT the cios-fix, thats for .1 and i think were alot of people are going wrong

Maybe your drive firmware is updatable?

What discs are you using and what speed are you burning at ?
Where did you get the install files for the ios ?
Have you installed the Cios Read Retry fix ?

I believe this is a disc issue with the disc type you are using , but just want to make sure about everything else. There are other threads similar to this one with the answers in them only a few days ago - i tried to post it but it never went on the thread at the time so i dont have the link now.

I'm getting the same error. I've tried everything, ended up making about 6 coasters of different burn speeds. I uninstalled the cios using anytitle deleter and reinstalled it, still keep getting the same error. I've even tried different dvd-r's (both maxell and memorex). Any ideas?

i updated my firmware and it didn't help but burning at work gave my burns a quality rating in the 90% range and they all run flawlessly now.

    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 @ 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 @ 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?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ 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 @ 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 @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
