So ok, i recently took my Wii to Playtronix in Hackney to have a Wiikey fitted, excellent service might i say! 1 hour and it was fitted!
i took it home with me and tested a backed up game (of which i own the original) and it woked fine! after an hour i thought i'd try another but this time the disc would not load. Hmm, i thought. I then put the disc that i had been playing back in, and to my suprise...it wouldn't load!
over the next week i noticed a strange trend with the wii. If i put a backup disc in it seems to load fine and i can play to my hearts content for as long as i like, however if i stop playing that game and put in another backed up game the wii will not read the disc! then i put the previous disc which worked fine, back in again and the wii won't read it! this is really strange! and so annoying
Confusion set in! so off i went to my room to scour the internet.
Seems that i am not alone! i took on board everything that was advised in the 100's of forum posts i read. I took the wii back to Playtronix who happily looked at it again and re-soldered the wiikey, i bought some Taiyo Yuden Discs (genuine i might add! i checked with disc identifier) and also some ritek and verbatims.
i took it home in hope that the problem had been fixed but....No. same thing.
I phoned up playtronix and they helpfully advised to update the wiikey to 1.9b. Armed with this advice i embarked on a mission to update the wiikey. 2 days later after some painstaking research into how to create a wiikey 1.9b disk i managed to update it. unfortunately it didn't solve my problem.
So now i have a wii which plays originals perfectly fine but plays backups very very inconsistently!
what do i do?? right now i have partially given up! i have checked everything that i need to check...
Wiikey original - check
Soldering done correctly - check
DVD media - (taiyo,Ritek Verbs DVD-R) - Check
where do i go from here?
If someone out there has any advice i am a good listener! and very appreciative! I know there are some very clever people out there so i hope your knowledge can help ease stress lines on my forhead
