Hello! First post here, hoping someone might be able to help.

I followed the instructions from wii.guide to install the required cIOS along with Wii Flow. The install worked fine and I'm able to boot games I have already dumped from Wii Flow without any issues. However, I now cannot read some discs including Super Smash Brothers Brawl (no disc detected), and Rayman Origins (which shows an "update required" screen in the disc menu).

I tried using ModMii to detect any changes needed, and despite the added changes I still can't read Brawl. Rayman Origins shows up if I enable the PriiLoader hack for blocking disc updates. I've attached my SysCheck if anyone has any ideas what I need to change. Thank you in advance!

Enable the priiloader hack to block updates, that should solve the Rayman game issue

Regarding SSBB's no disk detected error... is the disk damaged? It's an original disk right and not a backup?

Also consider saving your wii lazer's lifespan and rip those games to usb and play via a usbloader instead. It would also be interesting to see if other apps can read/rip your Ssbb disk

Worth noting that Smash Bros is the first double layer game – DL games are known to cause issues on some Wii drives.
Wii is aging. 10 days ago one Wii drive bit the dust while I was playing an original game. Sadly the time has come that USB loading might be the only alternative to keep our Wiis running normally


Then this:

Try dumping the full disc with CleanRip.

Apologies for the late followup on this! The disc did work on another Wii and as it turns out it was the only dual layer disc out of all the bunch I tried. I ended up ordering a replacement disc reader off Amazon and after a painless swap, it was able to read SSBB without any issues! Really appreciate all the insight from everyone on the thread to get it working again.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
