haha - go the hammer! Was going to try the 360 mod but i only have the laptop and you need a desktop to do it. Have been using Sony discs the last year and they were good for the most part, about 4 or 5 coasters per pack of 50 but i've now changed to Verbatim discs as they seem more solid and don't make any vibrating sounds when burning at high speeds - even though i usually burn at x4 speed... 30 discs into a 50 pack and haven't had a coaster yet....

Cheers matey , everyone seems to say Verbatim discs are the best to use . Ive read through a few soft mod tutorials and each one differs so basically im waiting on someone now to tell me which one they used then at least ive got someone else to blame and can start a new your a twat thread on here

Verbatim and burning slowly, 2x recommended, can't go wrong.

Cheers guys , now for the tricky bit lol

I did mine and use a 250gb portable hard drive to run games via u loader works a treat. Not easy to do well not for me anyway. Will try to find the guide i used but will add a disclaimer

Edit: Mine wasnt ver 4.2E either

I joined this site and found some useful guides and also if you get stuck there are clever people who help you with any problems. Bit like a footy forum i know.

To be honest, i find it easier to donate $5 every so often. That gets you 5gb upload. And sometimes they have double uploads, so you get 10gb for the same money.

Gonna have to postpone the wii modding as every game i try to burn to disc comes up error .

Couldnt be arsed with the burning to disk trouble. Why not just plug a usb drive in and load them off there. Got a 250gb plugged into mine. You can get something called u loader that picks everything up from your external hard drive.You have to make sure its compatiable to the wii and use something called WBFS Manager to format the hard drive and then transfer the iso from pc to Wii format. To be honest think its quicker loading times too.
Pain in the arse some of the games say they are 4.0 gb then once converted are 3-600mb Not sure why this is but makes getting them take longer.

think thats the best option as im sure the dvd burners a bit fooked on the wife laptop and i aint opening a new pack of discs to find out lol Them feckers can be returned today and money used for more important things
