How large a disc do i need to do this? I hav 700mb discs which seem kinda small, when I tried to burn the disc it got to 4% and then gave me the same error message xpwnage got. Do I have the same problem or something completely different? should I compress the disc with Wii scrubber first ? any help would be highly appreciated I've had trouble at just about every possible point with this hacking What you have there are CD-R discs (or maybe CD-RW). What you NEED are DVD-R discs (MAYBE DVD-RW or DVD+RW and all that). There's a HUGE difference between the two. CD-R/Ws are generally around 700MB. DVD-R/Ws are generally around 4.7GIGABYTES. This is what you need. |

Ok Kitty Corpians, I found the answer, or more accurately the ImgBurn folks gave it to me. Here's what the author of ImgBurn said: "If you want to just burn half the image (which to be honest is pretty insane!), make the image smaller by cutting the last part off in a hex editor or something. (or burn to DVD+RW and read that disc back to a new ISO)." how am i supposed to know where to stop deleting? |

I'm not sure Segab, I did the other thing. I'm guessing you remove the last few hundred thousand byes, or whatever is equivalent to cut down the iso down to 4.37 gig. So if the iso is 7.9 gigabytes, you want to take off 3.53. So I think you have to take off the last 3790308638.72 bytes.  |

I'm not sure Segab, I did the other thing. which other thing? Burning the DVD9 into a DVD-RW and taking the risk of breaking the Wii lazer? it can't be THAT bad for the lazer, right? what's the worse that can happen? |

At Segab:
Alright, what I did was I burnt the .iso onto the DVD+RW, which ran really bad on my Wii, and my Wii started making weird noises, but that's beside the point. After I burnt it onto the DVD+RW, I used ImgBurn and clicked "Create Image File from Disc" or whatever it says. Then I took that image it burnt and reburnt it onto the disc.

DVD 9 is double layer and holds almost up to 8 gigs. DVD 5 is single layer and holds up to 4.7 gigabytes.

Ok so what I did was use hex editor neo and deleted the extra bytes, once the disk was small enough IMGburn finally burned it without giving me errors, butnow it won't work when I put the game in and hit backup loader
