    You can use either DVD-R or DVD+R i've used both on my ps2 backups and the DVD+R's work just fine...

    not sure about the wii, just because i have a HUGE stack of DVD-Rs!! but i've been wanting to try this, so i'll see how it works and post!

    ive heard to stay away from them....they seem to not work as well,so i never tried them,but from my experience DVD-R work great.....remember to use the software IMGBURN ok,

    Good luck

    no, until someone figures out how to hack a 4.3 wii.....you can't do crap right now.....no one has hacked that yet....

    it's even more secure than 4.2!

    but is it possible to downgrade it to 4.1 or so?
     
  11. ace1o1

    No one has hacked 4.3 yet, AND no one has found a way to downgrade from 4.2 yet....

    so in short....no

    just keep on checking around the net for something later on.

    check here too. this is how i found out about wii stuff - http://www.wiihacks.com/

    you're not going to be able to hack it, but you can always look around and learn some stuff for later.

    Just tried DVD+R and it didn't work...oh well!

    DVD+R works as well but you have to use booktype dvd-r (dont ask me how to configure that, I only read it everywhere)
    I for myself always use dvd-r and never had a bad copy.

    You have to do some patching in order to get a DVD+R to work on a wii....not worth it to me unless all that you have are DVD+Rs
