Hi, i have a strange problem with my wii not reading original gamecube games. I found out while trying to renew the "firmware" for my wiikey.
I have tried many times to update my wiikey to 1.9b, 1.9g and 1.9x but every time i got an "initialising drive.... failed" error after the disc booted. After a while i tried two original gamecube games: Super Mario Sunshine and Eternal Darkness. SMS gives a DRE, Eternal Darkness gives a similar shortly after the game has booted (but not yet started). A backup of the GC-game Paper Mario: A Thousand Year door however, is working perfectly!
All Wii backups are working without a single black screen, original Wii games (without the security as in Wiifit for example) rarely give a DRE. I mostly use TDK DVD+R's for Wii backups, and have tried TDK-R's and PHILIPS DVD+RW's, without noticing any difference in performance.
Another strange thing, perhaps unrelated, is that when i turn on the wii with any disc in it (original or backup) it *always* gives an error.
I always use IMGBurn @ 4X. I bought my Wii April 2007.
If anyone can help me solve my problem i'd be very grateful!
Thanks in advance!
