Hi, I have a WiiScrubbed version of Super Mario Galaxy 2 which I extracted together (lol oxymoron, but you know what I mean) using winrar and I burnt it onto a DVD. However, whenever I try to launch it on Neogamma R8 beta 1, it says "DVD Read Error (1020)" and goes back to the Neogamma menu. I've tried everything (I think), but I can't get it to work! I have IOS 249 rev 19 , IOS 222 v4, IOS 223 v4, and IOS 56 v5405 installed. Is there anything I missed? KNOW Anything else I need? PLEASE REPLY IF YOU ANYTHING THAT WILL MAKE IT WORK!!! (btw no modchips on wii, purely softmodded)

Mabye a Bad rip. Try using different versions of neogamma. Or you could try installing DARKCORP and play your games from disc channel. Or just play from usb.

To play a Backup, you'll need:

-The Retail Disc (otherwise it isn't a Backup, important).
-A cIOS (249 rev19 with Base 57 would be a good choice).
-A DVD-R with good quality (Verbatim, for example).
-A good loader (latest NeoGamma is around 9 or something)
-A sucessful Burn. Use IMGBurn, around 4x-8x Speed, and verify.

If that won't work, check if your ISO is alright, for example with WIT (Wiimms ISO-Tools) using the verify-command, or try another brand of DVDs (if this is your first time with Loaders and stuff, and you don't know exactly that that brand worked before) and burn again.

    I'm also willing to host my downloads onto their CDN to make it far easier to access than MediaFire links lol.

    I also am gonna add a Monero address as well, its anonymous and no fees involved.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Bitcoin isn't recommended for sending less than $500 because there's an additional fee involved for every transaction.

    @SylverReZ, you need money both for your daily life and for manufacturing modchips?

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I sell modchips sometimes, but quite rarely. And yes, I do need money that goes towards soldering equipment and hardware for projects alike.

    @SylverReZ, although I don't dedicate much time to it both because I am a procrastinator and because of school.

    @Xdqwerty, I sleep a lot. So that probably considers me as either lazy or a night owl? :unsure:

    @SylverReZ - Maybe I'm being dumb. Where's the option for threaded chat? Or did you mean start a thread on the forum?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @WafflesMcDuff, Either start a thread in the other platforms and oldies, or reply to the thread you linked earlier.

    @WafflesMcDuff, a thread on the forum
  • WafflesMcDuff @ WafflesMcDuff:
    I'll give it shot. I threw out my back last week and all I wanna do is lay on the couch and play some games and try to get my back to ctfo.
    Getting up and down to try to make this thing work is the opposite of what I wanted to be doing lol
  • WafflesMcDuff @ WafflesMcDuff:
    So I guess I was hoping someone lurking here would have quick advice
