Hey all,
I've gone through the excellent tutorials here and with a little help from the kids experts (again, here) I've downgraded to 3.2Eur firmware, installed homebrew atc. and then installed the Backup launcher.
When I then put in a backup DVD, they all fail to boot. I use a mac normally, but I've burnt the ISOs with imgburn on a PC and they say they are verified ok.
What can I do to find the cause of the problem - I'm tempted to re do the softmod from teh start to see fi I missed something, does that sound sensible?
All suggestions welcome (Except those ending in "sun don't shine"!)
Thanks to all for a great forum.

Whats the error message you get m8?

I don't get an error message at all - the Wii just tries to mount the DVD ( I guess) and then takes about 15-20 seconds to decide that nothing is happening, then it all starts again.

What discs did you use m8?
It can be a bit picky with discs.

Thanks for the reply, I've used verbatim discs at 4x to write the images. I also wrote a couple of ceaper ritek discs, but the same thing happened.
I guess I'll maybe reinstall everything...
... but which is the best backup loader to use?

Thanks for a quick reply! Unfortunately, that was the one I was trying this evening. I started with a different one then put the Need for Speed one on - would that make a difference?

Not really, the newer loader works with 99.9% of games.
What prog did you burn the discs with ?
Try IMG burn or Nero.

I have the same problem as you. Tried downloading and writing to disc. Copying disc to disc. All to no avail. I have a Dell Laptop with a Sony DVD + RW (this is where the problem lies).
Borrowed an old Liteon in an external caddy. I use this to both write from file and read/write from other copies. Works perfect using Verbatim 43551 DVD+R, 4.7GB, 16x. Writing at 8x without any problems.

I had the very same problem using my older Dell Precision M50 writer to burn discs, I managed to get 1 in every 10 working, soon as I changed it to an external Plextor, every disc burns at 16X, and plays back no problem.

Maybe that's it then. I used an external pioneer 115 for some and an internal matsushita (in my iMac running windows).
I'll see what's around...
