Ive been playing games on backups nowadays but the wii always makes weird noises when im loading a backup disc. after a few plays of the game it eventually stops functioning saying that the disc cant be read. taking out the disc from the wii, i notice that theres a circular scratch embedded on my backup disc. this problem hasnt occured with my actual wii discs but when i look them over i notice thats there is in fact a faint, not as embedded as the backup disc, scratch on the wii disc.
i havent played my actual wii games that much lately so i am not sure if this scratching problem is only occuring on my backups or both backups and wii discs.
I dont want to risk scratching my real wii games.

Does anybody know the problem with the wii, and if anybody does, could you please give me some tips or instructions on how to fix it?
thanks

Well it is possible your bumping into it, moving it and other things but I doubt that is causing it. I heard sometimes this happens and your best bet is getting it repaired by Nintendo but I don't think that is a viable option in your situation. There are some people online who will offer a service to fix your wii or maybe a user on this site can do it.

    Although in most systems these days physical is pretty shitty since it requires installation.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Series s can still do 1440p fine I just can't argue spending double over a few extra games you'll hardly notice
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Fps in games anyway
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like physical
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I dislike digital only when most games are cheaper physical.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    And with this sale the different is only 50€ to the series s
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Depends you can get a VPN and buy Argentina codes like half the cost
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Id need to use another account though iirc.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like having all my games in one account.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah just set your VPN and use redeem.microsoft it's been working for me
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Anyway, series x seems to be compatible with 360, so I could play all my games there.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I was thinking about the ps5 but only reall exclusive I'm interested in is FFXVI
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    and gamepass is nicer than sony's option
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    but dunno...
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Theirs not enough exclusives for ps5 especially since they're realizing PC sells
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    FFXVI will probably follow suit too
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    If Delta was an exclusive I'd probably buy a ps5 but nah
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Delta?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Mgs remake
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Ah, MGS?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    yeah, took me a sec there
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    All those years of anti scalpers and when consoles are finally back in stock everything's getting a PC port lol
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    is wild hearts any good? it seemed pretty promising but dunno
