I know 4x is the standard but it seems like some people use 12x or 8x and what not. What burning speed do you use for Wii backups?
I use my USB HDD. But back when I used discs I burned at 4x. By the way, there's a different forum for backup loading discussion now.
It really all depends on your burner and media. Most folks will now tell you that burn speed doesn't matter, but with BOTH of my burners, both different, and on different PCs, I get the most consistent results with no read errors at 4x, and read errors almost every time at 16x. 8x is pretty reliable for me, but the Wii has a harder time reading the faster I burn, so I burn as slow as I can.
Realistically, though, I barely burn anything anymore (since USB Loader), unless it's for a friend, or one of those games that USB Loader won't run (Metroid Prime remake).
I hate discs.

P.S. I've got 42 backups, So that crap about +r's not working is a bunch of bull shit
It's well known that if you set the booktype to DVD-ROM you'll get DVD+R's to work.
IMGburn 1X speed. Haven't had any trouble yet.
Hmmm, I always though that you should burn Wii games at 1X. There are so many updates in the scene that I have lost track of any updates there are out there. I am guessing from the responses that its alright to burn higher than 1X now. Either way 1X has been fine for me. Any reason to burn faster?

When I'm burning on my Mac its usually at 6x speed using the disc utility but if i'm on Windows using imgburn then its 2x
I burned all my games at 8x except for SSBB, but the best speed varies from media to media and burner to burner.
If the discs have a high max speed, burning them at a low speed might do more bad than it does good.
Generally, try not burning at the max speed for the disc. My discs were 16x and I burned them at 8x.

i keep my burner at auto,which is usually 12x using verbatim dvd-r and/or sony dvd-r, and no coasters yet
I use a Lite-ON writter 3 years old, Sony D-21 media Accucore and Nero6 to burn all my games at 16X all of them and I have no coaster at all since I started using this combo..!!

to all of you that think that they burn a 1x or 2x using imgburn , most media don't support lower then 4x , yyou can select 1x 2 x , but it will be burn at 4x ,
4x is the best speed in order to don't kill your drive in your Wii
the slowest it is , the best it is for your drive inside your Wii

I have burned games at 4x, 2.4x and max speed. So far I have had none problems at all, and I use Memorex DVD-R's, with a almost-2-year old disc burner. Also, I don't get myself, why people say to burn at slow speeds, or to burn at high speeds. I see a lot of them saying max speed, or 4x, but I don't see the reason why, and proof. Just wondering.
the best is to use ImgBurn set at AWS (Auto Writting Speed), cause it will balance the writting process depending on your Media/Writter, that really IS the best option, as thebobinc said, some media don't go well with writting under 8X..!!

What a load of bullshit. Nowadays, faster is better, and it is already proven by many. Plus, your terminology is damn wrong. Speed of burning does not affect speed of reading. It's like, my typing speed is 44 words/minute and will that affect your reading speed? No.
EDIT: I use Auto all the time.
I can't burn anymore since both of my burners died a couple of months ago but I used to burn at 4X cause my burners used to have problems when burning at highers speeds.

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

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:
@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)
