Hacking What type of CD should I get?

[kevenka]

I just recently got my modchip and an iso...problem is, the iso is 5 gigs...So, does anyone know what kind of blank CD I should get? and when I do get it, do I just burn it in and I can start playing?
Thanks alot!
Kevin

Repeat after me: I need to buy DVD-Rs or DVD+Rs.
And if your ISO is 5 gigs, you are doing it wrong.

isnt ssbb dl so cant it be 5 gigs and yes
BUY DVD-R for games and at least one DVD+R so you can update ur chip

are u using ssbb?
if not then u did something wrong

Actually its, 4.37 but i thought i should round it since most cd's i found are like only 1 gig =/

CDs are 700MB, DVDs are 4.7GB.

Get some DVDs.

There isn't currently a working method to read CD on Wii.

You'll need to use DVD-R or DVD+R (or the DL variant for SSBB). Don't bother with RW.

No chip will read a CD. So get some DVD-R's and maybe some DVD-RW's for the updates and whetever else. If you've got a WiiKey, then make sure that you don't get DVD+x's because they tend not to work.

I see...I see...a topic..."My Wii don't read DVD-RW disks, HALP!" in near future
Not all Wiis can.

Well i've only had experience with my Wii, which can read -RW discs. I thought that a Wii that can read Brawl can read a -/+RW disc?

Yes, these "newer" Wiis can read DLs, RWs.

CD's are 700Megabytes, DVD's are 4.7Gigabytes.

Without physical modification, a Wii cannot read a CD.

Ah...I see..thank you for the clarifications

I thought a CD and DVD was the same thing ^^
My apologies and thanks for all the helpful comments.

How does one confuse the difference between a CD and a DVD??

I thought a CD and DVD was the same thing ^^

words cannot describe my...ahem....astonishment at this statement.

Well they are the same shape. I could see how he could have become confused.
