People with problems playing SSMB backup, check your disc for strange scuff marks on the discs outer edge, they are barely visible and can be seen on the right angle..

You know what I noticed the same thing. I had mine working fine for quite some time. Then all of a sudden I see the disc error. Ejecting and reinserting seems to resume the game just fine but I did notice small scuffs as you describe on the outer edge. Prior to the disc errors the disc never came out of the wii so it wasn't me who scratched it..

Yes, it seems that wii is scratching DVD+DL burned discs, mine are Verbatim DVD+DL made in singapore 2.4x certified.
I am getting numerous DREs in Sub space academy and I did tweak the laser.. it reads better but..

It's not only first-gen systems. My D2C Wii needed a laser tweak to read DVD+R DL's.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.

    Nowdays, my Samsung phone holds most my music on a 512gb micro sd. I Bluetooth to my earbuds, BT speaker, or to my car stereo from my phone. I still have a iPod Nano, but have not used in years.
