I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. My Wii is on firmware 3.3E, and after reading through an awful lot of tutorials and discussion, I decided to try installing Backup Launcher 0.3g (and, first, the cIOS that comes with it) on this firmware rather than downgrading first, since there were reports of it working. If it doesn't work, what are the signs exactly? As far as I can tell, the cIOS installer ran fine, and Backup Launcher runs fine and says something about IOS249 in the corner. Does this indicate that everything should be in the place for backups to work, or is it still possible that problems I'm having are caused by a need to have downgraded my firmware to 3.2 beforehand?
The reason I ask is that the backup I tried to play simply won't load at all. It says "Disc Read Error 384". The game is Wii de Asobu Metroid Prime, which I patched to IOS249 as recommended in that huge discussion thread on the matter (and even if I hadn't, the disc should at least load before crashing). Other forum discussion I've found suggests that I should get better DVD-Rs, specifically by Verbatim. Is this good advice and worth trying? Or is the problem likely to be more fundamental than this? Should I start all over again with downgrading my firmware?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
