I got my Wii in the first batch of PAL machines.. I then chipped it as soon as WiiNja V2 came out and have near enough zero problem.
Recently, I have started to get DREs.. But I don't really believe that its actually a read error as such, as there appears to be a pattern.
Sometimes, I can try to play a game, it would boot and then almost immediatly give a DRE (and crash). I then had to hold the power button for 4 seconds and after this the game played fine.
Another version of this problem is that I games which keep giving a DRE at the roughly the same point (power off doesn't help).. But after putting in another game, I can then load the disk which gave the DRE with no problems.
A few nights ago, I played Metroid for the first time, and managed to get a couple of hours in with no DREs, which would indicate that the disk is fine.
Tonight I got hold of Boogie.. It gave me 2 cases DREs in the first few minutes, so I gave up and put in Metriod again.. Just as the game started, Metrid gave me a DRE.
After messing about for a bit, I then got Metroid to start and have now been able to play Metroid for another few hours without a DRE.
This certainly doesn't seem to be media related to me, as surely I would get DREs all the time...
But to tell you about my media, I have always used Ritek and right now I am using 8x media but burning at 4x.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Does anyone have any suggestions?
