if you mean burning your back up games then you can do them on a normal dvd writer with normal single layer dvd disks you dont need nothing special and use imgburn to do it. So your drive should be fine

can i use dvd+R DL to burn wii games?

you need DVD -R for the wii as far as I know....I don't think the +R will work...what can it hurt though the cost like a quarter. Give it a whirl....if it works for you tell us what brand your using.

i have never had a problem with the disc i posted on the link, If you print the disc using inkjet printer it comes up vivid and not dull or blury

Some Wii's do have problems with DVD+r's, mine will not read them for love or money. It likes the -r's.

well
i tried dvd-r
on the 2 wii that i am having trouble with
they still would not read

Cofree mate i have sent you a PM.


i have just come back from taking a couple of my backups which are on dvd-r around to my mates whos wii is moded but not with chip and the games wont work on his Wii. So does it have anything to do with how the wii is modded?

well
the wii that wont read are
one that have had trouble from the start
i called them a "weak wii"
i know the backup is good
I think its a laser thing
im just going to put a drive that will read in and mod the crap out of it
as i will no longer even be burning backups
then put the orig drive back in(it will play orig fine)

i then will be able to play iso from the Hd with gui-fx

now i goit it man
i did not know what that pm was about
sorry about that.

will lightscribe discs work?

ive never used them
ill not be even making backup disc now
all my games will be played from a usb HD drive using gui-fx loader

Most anything -r will work as long as they are good media. Lightscribe and all. There is only one game that needs to be burnt to a DL disk and thats Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Everything else to date (to my knowledge) will run off a dvd-r.
