djtaz said:dewisp02 said:zero, you already replied and said the same thing so why respond again with nothing new? The media I am using is the same I've used for all my previous backups and not a single coaster so far. A bad burn/media would never work in the first place. So I have to disagree with you and your theory. I want to know how it would work perfectly if bad media and bad burn were the case. Just doesnt seem likely. I am curious if there's something with the backup loader/launcher and game id. Does the launcher cache game id's or other info? Is there something I can try like re-installing everything again to clear any data stored [if it does indeed do such a thing]?
Zerof is correct here (as usual) - it sounds like the media may be corrupt.
DVD-r Discs are written onto a dye on the disc - think of it like a jelly with bits taken out of it - if the disc overheated while in the wii (which can happen) it may have corrupted the integrity of the disc.
Usually this resolves itself if the disc settles again after a few hours , but on some discs it doesnt.
On the cheaper discs this is more likely to happen and the only resolution is to try to reburn it to another disc or even in extremem cases to re-downlo....erm back it up.
Just get another copy and try it - the wii doesnt cache any of the id info and if the loader is working on other games then its not a loader issue.
Some games also freeze after you get to a certain point , but i dont think this is your issue.
I believe that I am experiencing this behaviour with my USA Wii.
Certain games seem to require more intense loading, and these periods will sometimes cause the game to freeze. A message pops up saying that the game cannot be read and to refer to the instruction manual.
I am having this issue with Verbatim DVD-R burnt at 4x (my drive will not burn any slower). These Verbatim DVD-R's are the ones with the glossy white plain top, meant for printing a label onto them. AVOID THIS MEDIA!!! When people say to use Verbatim DVD-R, they mean the expensive ones! I got a 20 pack of these printable discs for $4. The genuine GOOD QUALITY verbatim discs are closer to $1 a peice.
I am planning on picking up some of the real verbatim discs to verify this, but just wanted to warn people. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, THEY WONT WORK!
