Is this serial capable of playing backups?

Hi Everyone.

Question. I softmodded my wii and burned an iso disc. All I believe pretty successfully. When I tried to play the disc in NeogammaR8 I got an DVD Read Error 1167. Doing some research on here I found out that certain wii's with certain chips could not play wii backups from DVD-R's. Please excuse me if that is incorrect?

Doing more research I entered the wii serial on wiidrive and found out that mine is lu6053 RVL-001(USA) copyright year 2006 from Mexico/Canada/USA. It has the chipset GC2-D2E

What I couldn't tell is if my wii was one of the ones that could or could not play backups from DVD-R's? Can someone please help me out?

Thanks in advance.

GC2-D2E is an old chipset, did you purchase your Wii new, if so, when did you purchase it.

Well, I don't know if you seen my last post or not, but ya, it wasn't pretty lol. I found it easier just to point you to the thread I tried to quote.

Error Index

If you Wii was purchased any time during the last year, it would have D3-2 or D4. If it's older than that, then it's something else. You follow a wiihacks softmod guide or?

Hey guys thanks for the quick responses!

Yea, it was a gift for Christmas about 2008.

I had 4.1U and did a softmod guide I found on FAILTUBE, although I can't remember the name of it now. But I've since done a few other mods as well to update what i originally had done.

Does any of this help?

Krafter, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the media. I burned the iso with Disc Utility on Mac OS 10.4.11 with 1X speed on a Dynex DVD-R. Its purple tinted on the DVD though, do you think that makes a difference? Also, I tested a retail disc and that ran just fine. With the burned disc the drive just didn't sound like it wanted to spin up or react.

I found the guide I followed originally! A NON-WIIHACKS GUIDE But like I mentioned I had to do some upgrading in order to run NeogammaR8 because it originally woudn't run for me. I believe I had an older revision of the IOS and upgraded to rev17?

Definitely not our guide, and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY out of date cIOS. I think Junkmail's got an "Update your Softmod" thread in the Recommended guides, give it a whirl.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Do you have a link by any chance?

Also, you mentioned the cIOS being out of date... is there one that's out of date or several? If I'm understanding correctly there's several cIOS's that are installed?

Last thing... back to my original question... any way to tell definitevely if this thing can even play backups on DVD-R's? If not, I don't want to waste too much time trying to make it work and instead I'll figure out the USB option instead. I just bought a Sandisc 8gb thumbdrive to give that a shot tonight. Although, the guides for that are even more difficult than the darn mdding! haha... and I'm not using a PC I'm on a Mac to boot so the whole partition and software is a mess to figure out.

You only have only one cIOS(custom ios) "IOS249 (ver 4)", Enabled, Enabled, Disabled, Disabled

So I tried this guide http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...d-softmod.html and got up to Step 6. However, when I loaded the WAD Manager v1.4 the screen goes black and the wiimotes cut out leaving me to hold the power button down to restart. Luckily it comes up ok, but I can't seam to get past this process?

I think when doing the guide I may have substituted Step 4 by installing the iOS36patched because the 60 was not showing up in my list of available wad's. I thought since it said "patched" it was the correct file.

Have I now severely screwed this thing up??

I know I'm an idiot for missing this step.... but now the WAD Manager is just going blank on me. I just tried starting over at Step 1. Got down to Step 4 and boom... black screen after loading WAD Manager.

I figured out why the iOS60patched didn't show up the first time. It was the stupid card. It happened to be once before when I was doing the original mod.

Is it too late? What can I do to fix this WAD Manager going black and wiimotes cutting out? Anything at this point? Downgrade WAD Manager to an older version maybe? Try upgrading HBC?
