How to Burn ISO Wii Games on a Blank DVD

Requirements:

• [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
• PC
• DVD-R Writer (Burner)
• DVD-R Blank Disc

Step By Step On How To Burn ISO Games.

• Download ImgBurn and install on your PC.
• Insert a Blank DVD-R.
• Run ImgBurn and click Write image to disc.

• Now click on Browse.

• Now look for the Wii ISO file you want to burn. Note that all Wii ISO Games are 4.37 GB, if it's smaller it might not load.

• Now Click on it and it should appear on ImgBurn. Also set the writing speed to 4X for games to work properly on the Wii.

• Now click burn/write and just wait for the ISO file to be burn on the DVD-R.

• After it's done enjoy playing your backup Wii Games.

Burner is writing Slow?

1. Go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager>IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.
2. From there, right click on each of the channels and choose ‘Properties>Advanced Settings’. All drives should be DMA mode. The ‘Current Transfer Mode’ for Hard drives is usually DMA 4-6 and DVD burners DMA 2-4, DVD ROMs usually DMA. If you see any in PIO mode, that can slow things down.
3. If you find a PIO mode drive, changing them back may be easy or complicated. First see if you can change them in that window using the drop down menu.
4. If not, uninstall the channel the drive is on and let the OS reinstall it. This will usually take a reboot. This will not damage any files on the computer. Now your burner should be back to normal. Check the drive settings again when computer restarts.

Hi there,

I have followed your instructions & now have a Homebrew Channel on mw Wii, so thanks for that.

Before I do anymore I was wondering as I am running Vs 3.4E, should I downgrade to 3.2E before I carry on?

What I mean is, do I need to downgrade my Wii?

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Yes, I suggest you downgraded if you know how to.
I didn't need to downgrade since im at 3.3 u
But 3.4 blocks a lot of this from working properly.
3.2 or 3.3 should be fine when you downgrade.

how much gigs do the dvd have to be?

[Smokexz]

I tried to install DVDx through wad manager on my WII with 4.00 firmware and it kept giving me errors, I installed homebrew channel with bannerbomb exploit and I found out that the BOOTMII installer.elf contains the files to install DVDx so I installed through there should work -_- right?

[Gandalf]

It should, be sure to add the Homebrew Browser and get one of the DVD players installed. If you can play a DVD then DVDX is installed correctly.
