LOL, that makes no sense to me m8 ???

basically i followed this tutorial... and i got a blank screen after i followed this tutorial meaning the game wasnt loading i guess... so then i thought i would try a diff tutorial from another site but before i did that, i formatted the wii from the settings and then i tried to follow the other tutorial (from another website) but that ended up doing the same thing

Ah right, well try writing the disc in another writer first, def sounds like the Wii cannot read the disc, ie usually caused by $hit discs ( not in your case though), so must be a bad burn caused by your writer.
You'll get it working m8, trust me.

House of The Dead 2 and 3, I 've had some probs with that in softmodded Wii's, some it worked in some it didn't, not sure why, think it was something to do with IOS I installed ???

[HS786]

to be honest i dont even know which ios i installed :$ lool

[dell_xps]

What game is it your are trying to load up ?
Just thought, as you press the loader, press B on the remote, go into options and try force PAL 50, if no joy try forcing NTSC.

[HS786]

TNA.Impact.Wrestling.PAL.WII-SUSHi

ok ill try that after his burned version

[HS786]

i tried forcing pal 50 but its still the same this time i tried burning the house of the dead from my bro's pc and it doesnt work at all... all i get is a blank black screen although i did see something flash up on the screen for a quick second after like 20 seconds of it trying to boot up the game

when i updated the homebrew channel to 1.0.1... it said:

I'm running under IOS34 4.15
I'll configure The Homebrew Channel to use IOS36

is that wrong or ok?

EDIT: just read this from another site

• Insert your empty DVD-R ( Important that it is DVD-R because there are read problems with DVD+R and DVD+RW)

all this time i was using DVD+R and not DVD-R ... i gotta get some DVD-R's and try it out tomorrow now

How to downgrade the wii system to 3.2

[HS786]

if you are on 3.4 then just follow these steps:

Load Wad Manager in Homebrew Channel and install IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad
Load Custom WM in Homebrew Channel and install cios_fix.wad
Load IOS Downgrader in Homebrew Channel

that should get you to be on 3.2 but in order to do that make sure the homebrew channel is installed...

(Correct me anyone if i am wrong :$)

EDIT: Good News or Bad News dell_xps?... the bad news is that i need the component cable asap as this composite sucks!! makes the graphics look horrible!!... the good news is that it infact was something wrong with DVD+R's.... they are infact unreadable .. so i went out and bought a 50 pack of verbatim DVD-R's and what was the outcome?... IT WORKED!! i tried TNA iMPACT at 8x speed and it worked !! viva las wii softmod oh and im not on version 3.2 :s... im actually on 3.4 does that matter? should i just leave it as it is or just downgrade to 3.2?

NOTE TO ALL - DVD+R's may work sometimes (Depending on the drive that you use and the DVD+R) but not always! use DVD-R's OR DVD-RW's for wii games! and i hope to help out others who have problems with the wii soft modding like i did... if i am allowed to then i would be glad to help people over msn (PAL UK v3.4 only)

THANK YOU!!!!!!

[jamieupanddown]

sounds simple enough, gona give it a whirl. thanks

[dell_xps]

3.4 is good, only reason for downgrading to 3.2 is to install starfall.

Glad you got it sorted out, although I wouldn't tell people never to use +R's, personally I always use -R, if your going to use +R use good discs and a good writer,ie Plextor etc, and if you do get problems like you had then try -R's discs.
