Okay so I checked my firmware (which I believe is located at the top right corner in the wii system settings menu) and it says "ver. 3.3U." And when I try and run a Wii system update it says "there are no updates available since already has current software."
I am using imgburn at x4 and have tried x2 for some. I have Verbatim dvd+r from Taiwan. Now I know people argue these are not the most reliable media, and I may try to get the ones from Japan or Singapore just to make sure this is not the issue. I just don't want to shell out more money if there is still the possibility I am semi-bricked and these backups won't work anyways.
Today I did notice that I had to insert my Mario Kart backup once or twice to load properly. So maybe I will get lucky and find it is merely the shitty discs I am using (thank you taiwan). For now I see this as my most promising move.
On a side note you guys don't think "Format Wii System Memory" would do the trick? I only ask cuz a lot of people who say they have a semi-brick system are having problems with their wii menus and accessing their wii system settings. In my case none of that has been affected.
