Reading DVD backup on Wii 4.3

Post by Deathborn »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello dear Tgamer member, registered since 2009, I owned a wii that had a nice brick (no priiloader or boot2, back then I didn't know about IOS Stubs, yes I was naive). But here I am back with a new wii!! (or almost, you'll understand)

So here I'll explain my installations, I obviously prefer manual over "Pimp my Wii":

- Wii on 4.3
- Serial number: LEF 10796153 2 (the console is indeed 3 years old, I bought it used)
- Homebrew channel installed with Stack Smash
- Bootmii in IOS (boot2 not available for my console)
- "cIOS d2x v8 final" installed as indicated in "kyno"'s tutorial

Config reminder:
base 37, slot 245
base 38 slot 246,
base 53 slot 247,
base 55 slot 248,
base 56 slot 249,
base 57 slot 250
base 58 slot 251)

- priiloader 0.4 with hack_hash (ask me for the config if needed)

And that's roughly everything you need to know. I looked into the serial numbers of unmoddable drives so:

LEH268477729< first unmoddable drive < LEH278679472
Above LEH279... or LEM... unmoddable
Another exception: LEF200... = Very recent Wii despite the F so unmoddable drive (does this concern the whole LEF series?)
Black, red and blue Wiis unmoddable

So I don't know if my wii has an unmoddable drive or not, is there a way to find out? if my console is able to read backups, which installation should I do?

I'm using backups for hacking SSBB (already owning the original EU game) so I won't take any USB Loader recommendations :) Thank you!

To see if a drive is tamper-proof, quite simply I put a backup in the wii and launch wiiflow or neogamma, it all depends on my mood :D


for the tutorial it's the normal one for 4.3

Thanks to you! I'll test that with NeoGamma R9 and let you know :)

Edit: So I did the test, and yes my console does read dvd-r fine with Neogama, so I wondered whether I can install "DVDx" and under which IOS given my setup?

:100: (sorry for the double post), I also wanted to know, DVDx is meant to read dvd-r (or +r) via the wii drive, so can it also read backups burned with the disc channel? (I did that a long time ago but I don't remember anymore whether it was with dvdx or another homebrew). Thanks for your answers :)

unless I'm mistaken, dvdx is obsolete. I even think it used to be bundled with the hackmii installer and isn't anymore.

Thanks for your answer :), so:

- darkcorp, I'll forget about it (better to avoid touching the IOS
- neocorp I'm going to test it, I just put the code on my hacks-hash.ini I'll let you know the results :)
Edit: neocorp didn't do anything, though I didn't change my priiloader version so I don't know if that has any impact on it but whatever

I tested Wiiflow but I have a problem, having installed the latest "cIOS d2x v8 final" (as shown in my config) with the latest version of Wiiflow, it does recognize my DDE with its backups, but when I launch it I get a freeze T-T

Could that be coming from my DDE?
Anyway thanks to everyone for your quick and precise answers, which are very helpful to me :)

I tried but still nothing, whether with a hard drive formatted FAT32 or NTFS, brand Freecom 2.5 (2 different models).
So I tried extracting one of my games onto a DDE with Wiiflow, it recognizes the disk but gets stuck at the start of extraction.

Couldn't that be a hard drive compatibility issue?

I've lost track, it was about DVD backups and now you're talking about a hard drive.
What are you trying to extract, a Wii or GC game?

Yes at first it was indeed about DVD backups, that problem is solved now,
Afterward I was advised to use Wiiflow so I looked into it, and after trying the Wiiflow 2.2 rev 254 version I notice everything is better :) so the latest version 4.0.2 isn't as stable? :s
Thanks for your help

Hmm, you're not answering my question.
Version 4.0.2 is stable and performs well, though I haven't tried extracting Wii games with it.
Regarding HDD compatibility, I've run into problems with DM and neek2o but none with Wii backups.

I deleted the Wiiflow folder at the root of my sd and the wiiflow.ini file located in apps/wiiflow and since then everything works much better :)
