Hacking What's my problem

[BiscuitCookie]

So I got my D2pro9 working and it boots burned games fine although there are some issues.
I was going for the gc games first and then for the wii games
so I burned pikmin 1 and 2 they work flawless sofar
then I burned Mario kart DD and that's when problems started, MKDD only showed a black screen (I think it's a bad dump)
Metroid Prime worked fine until I arived on tailon and went up the elevator with the cutscene it hung (but not always at the same spot)
and Pokemon XD GoD NTSC-U it only gives the health warning screen in black and white and after that just black screen
the black and white probably is because my tv doesn't support NTSC but it did play VBA in color and afaik VBA requires for color a TV that supports NTSC

so any gues what's my problem?
Is it my dvd-drive? (SONY DVD RW DW-U12A)
or something totally different?

How fast you burning? What disks you using?
Try grabbing PAL releases if you got a PAL console.

using sony dvd+r
using 16x also tried for MKdd on 8x same result

about the usa pokemon I couldn't find a other dump with seeders

sony disc is not the top notch one, and both 16x and 8x are too fast. Burn at 4x maximum with another disc like Verbatim or Memorex

Ok should try burning around 4x 1st of all.
Instead of using DVD+R try using -R they have a much better compatability with the Wii.

I know all of that
God there's always someone who says something different some say do 4x others say do 16x, 8x or w/e
It's sunday so I can't buy any DVD-R and my dvd+r are all used up
pokemon xd was burned at 4x
and wich brand of DVD's is best? is it like fly_us said verbatim or a other dvd?

btw is there any price difference between -R and +R and what's the price difference?

for someone thats knows, best speed is 4, although 8 speed gives same result, just more safer at 4x speed, i use ritek Ice, to me they are the best -R discs around best selling UK, GO Dye.
to stop waisting discs, use them and burn at 4 or if your a tad impatient 8 max!

ok and thanks for the link i'll try to get Verbatim if I can't find it i'll stick with Sony

and what version of imgburn is the best since I have seen a topic were people said they had problems with games burned with imgburn I currently have 2.4.2

btw for gamecube games what's better to burn .ISO or .GCM or it doesn't matter?
and if I need to convert it to .ISO or .GCM can I just change extensions or is safer to use a programm?

Next time don't ask for help then and sort it out yourself, think logically and your answer will come and it will stop you moaning.
