uloader ~ dvd read error 1

[pmasterkim]

Dear soft-modded wii users,
I want to use uloader to play back ups on dvds, I have followed ade's softmodding guide for 4.2E.

I have tried muramasa: the demon blade on a sony DVD-R at x2 speed, but I get a dvd read error 1 on uloader.

I have tried other backup loaders, namely gamma 0.3 and backup launcher, these load a "exception (DSI) occured" followed by a stack dump and code dump.

I haven't been able to find much on this error, so if you can suggest something I'd be grateful. I have heard that doing a patch on the iso first then burning helps, can someone confirm this?

NB/ I'm using a mac, namely why I haven't gone down the usb drive route, there is no wbfs manager for my OS.

have you got ios 38 r14 installed? and you need this http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/neogamma-r8-v17-boot-dol-1058/ also use verbatim dvd-r burnt with imgburn slowest speed.

Yeah, I got the cios 38 rev14 installed (well it should be as I have it in my apps folder and followed ade's guide. I install again just to make sure). I'm going to try neogamma tonight, cheers!!

btw the link is invalid, but I can find it somewhere else no doubt

Cheers for the advice. I still get "exception (DSI) occured!" followed by a stack dump then a code dump.

Should I try another game? And do you know if patching helps at all? Cheers

you should not need to patch this game you have everthing you need to play it ,sounds like a bad copy try a different copy and let us know

[pmasterkim]

Ok, I've tried at x2 and x4 with this game, and x4 with another, all using a sony dvd-r. Since I'm using a mac I can confirm that my method of burning works (using toast 10 T or disk util).

But I'm still getting the exception occurs stack dump code dump, and dvd read error 1 with uloader.

I can't find anything on the uloader problem (except patching the iso) and the exception occurs happens for a lot of things so I am open to all suggestions?

(I will probably have to switch to usb drives)

when you followed the tut did you install a patched ios 70 and did you patch any files with trucha bug restorer?

With TBR I downgraded ios15, patched ios36, then restored ios15.

I have re-installed a patched ios 70. (IOS70-64-v6687[TB+ES_diV+NAND].wad)


I still get exception occurs.... I've yet to get any files on a usb drive so I will let you know how that goes

if you have brought your wii inthe last month or so it could be that you have one that cant play dvd-rs and usb will be the only way to go,let us know

i av got a black wii and i av installed all the homebrew and neogamma all the things but i can not get any dvd+r to work can u help

[ck-ok]

its dvd-rs you need but even then i dont think they will work,your best bet is to get a external hdd and play your backups through that with a usb launcher

[pmasterkim]

Cheers for all the help, don't know why the dvd-r don't work??


playing from a usb, didn't want to seeing as I only have a 8gb pen drive at the moment. Thanks for all the help again!
