Super Smash Brawl - Asking for d/l , seeding or posting a direct link = ban

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents on what I did to run a backup of SSBB.

This is what I have/use:

"1st generation" Wii US/NTSC
WiiKey
Sony DVD recorder
Taiyo Yuden 8x -R
Verbatim +R DL
ImgBurn (2.4.1)
FriiDump (v .3 and .4)


What I did to create a backup
1) using Friidump .3, initiated a backup ISO of SSBB, which bomed after it ripped 1/2. Process took 3.5 hours
2) using Friidump .4 (supports DL), and RESUMED rip using same command [friidump -d d: -a]. Process took about 3.5 hrs (so total is 7 hours - luckily, I was able to resume the .3 rip!)
3) Burned ISO on Verbatim +R DL (no layer break)

What I did to upgrade WiiKey
1) From 1st page of this thread, downloaded and burned Wiikey 1.9S padded US version on TY -R (also got padded versions of Wiikey 1.4 config and 1.9b for recovery, but didn't use either of them)
2) Inserted 1.9s into Wii and turned it on
3) Initiated process (test and upgrade) Upon completion of test, 1.9 showed me a "test successful and instructed me to press the "reset" button, which I did.
4) Initiated upgrade process. Upon completion of upgrade, 1.9s showed me a "upgrade successful and instructed me to press the "reset" button which I did.

What I did to upgrade the Wii (AFTER Wiikey upgraded to 1.9s)
1) Tested older backup games - worked fine
2) Inserted original SSBB (prior to WiiKey upgrade, SSBB original was not recognized) and allowed it to upgrade the Wii firmware (which put it at 3.1US)
3) Tested older backup games (again) - worked fine

The backup (after Wiikey upgrade to 1.9s AND Wii upgrade to 3.1U)
1) Inserted backup of SSBB (no layer break)
2) It ran fine (so far)
3) Asked to create a save game file - which I did NOT
4) continued to run until the screen where it scanned past a row of characters, then "bombed" with a message "Can't read disk, read your manual"
5) pressed eject, removed disk, and put it aside
6) Burned SSBB ISO again but this time using layer break at 2084960.
7) Tested SSBR (layer break) and it ran fine (so far)
8) Asked to create a save game file - which I DID this time
9) Continued to run until I got to the same place where it bombed previously and got the same bombed message
10) Pressed eject, pushed it back in, clicked various Wii remote buttons and then .... the game continued and I was able to get to the next screen to select type of game, BUT I had to use the keypad to move around (no "floating finger pointer")
11) After this, subsequent testing worked fine. Never saw the "can't read disk" message and the floating finger pointer came back
12) Went back and tested SSBR (non-layer break) and now that one is also working fine, no problems.

Perhaps the "save game file" helped or I just needed to continue to click on the wii remote buttons or I needed to eject and reinsert the backup or some combination of the 3 in order to get it to work. But the bottom line is my backup SSBB (both layer break and no layer break versionS) work.

Thanks to all on this thread who shared their problems and solutions.

Hope this helps someone out there.

 

I got mine working with the user inputed layer break

And then it broke my wiikey

 

hey guys i dl ssbb and i burned it at 1x and 2x on imgburn with verbatim dls. Now i pop them in they asked for update completed. So the channel pops up and the picture sounds hit start. Now it goes to the now loading black screen. Then after that it goes to an all white screen and crashes! PLEASE HELP i wasted 2 dls i have 3 left and dont know what to change

oh also on img burn it stops at about 50% when verifing if that helps

 

Hey, Im sort of new to this, but ive read alot of threads about burning SSBB but im not having any luck so ill just explain every step i took hoping that someone will help.

I download Brawl from a torrent site called *removed* and it was compressed and the extracted version is 7.92 GB. I then tried burning it many times using Imgburn version 2.4.1.0. The first time, i did it at 2.4x and there was an error. The second time, i did it at 2x, but at about 20-40%, it got stuck and it stopped burning. The third time, i got really tired of it and i decided to use NTI CD & DVD maker at 2.4x (2x) and it burned comepletely, but on my Wii, The game did not start and the disc channel didnt change. Im sortof really desperate as this is actually a huge waste of Dual-Layered Discs. Please, someone, help me.

BTW: I'm using Verbratim DVD+R DL's with no luck.

 

I have a wasabi chip
fwiw, I wasted several verbs burning this damned game and it wouldn't load.....I put it on memorex and it loaded and played just fine....kinda weird since verb's are the creme de la creme....oh, and I used a layer break

 

Thanks.
Though I wanted to ask, how do you use a Layer Break?

 

options/settings

 

Alright then, I'll get my hands on a pack of Memorex DVD+R DL's and give it a shot, though I wanted to know, what i enter when im doing a layer break (eg. 2084960)? Thanks in advance.

 

farzad let me know how that goes and if that works ill get myself a pack of memorex

 

Ok then. Wish me luck!

 

Hi all,
I just need some confirmation before I proceed the system update after insert the SSBB (Dual Layer backup) disk. My config is:

NTSC Wii 3.1u + 1.9s WiiKey
WiiKey Config 1.4 using default setting (DEV mode off)

What will the system update do to the console? Will it break by Wii
Please advise

Thanks

 

hello guys, I have a us wii modded with d2ckey.
I have burned wiizard ssbb us version with imgburn 2.4.0 at 2.4x speed without layer breaker using memorex DVD+R DL.

I got it loaded at the first insertion(no prompt update) and after I started it ,I was required to create the save data.It then turned white after the saving was done(probably intro). What's wrong with this?Should I do the layerbreaker?

I have one verbatim dvd+r dl left,is there any way to make it work perfectly? I have wasted 1 verbatim and memorex

Help me out guys!What should I do with the verbatim dvd+r DL?
Should I do the layerbreak? I heard people say this earlier if the region of ssbb is the same as the wii's region, it is not necessary to do the layerbreak.

Wii US version
D2ckey
SSbb wiizard NTSC US

Thanks in advance.

 

Hi,
I've gone through this forum to find out exactly what I needed to burn SSBB but it's still not working.

Wii US version (I think D2C2 chipset)
D2Pro9 V2
SSBB (Wizard version)
Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (made in Singapore)

I tried burning it once with the layer break and once without the layer break and my Wii won't recognize the game at all. I need help.

 

I have the latest d2c2 with d2pro9 v2 and 3.2u and an NTSC system. The SSBB backup only started to work on mine after I did the system update from the SSBB disk. Before you make the update, use a program to check the type of disk (NTSC or PAL). If yours matches the type, then go ahead and update, but make sure you have the lastest firmware.
I did the Utility Disc v1.4 upgrade (don't know if that helped).
I tried wiibricker to remove the update but the game didn't work.
Only the update worked for me, however, sometimes I get a message "Error reading disk," so I just eject the disk and put it right back in. Then it works. Anyone know how to get rid of that problem?

 

I am trying to get SSBB NTSC-USA version to work on 3.2J Wii with Wiikey 1.9s that have never played SSBB Jap version yet. there are many suggestions as to how to make SSBB USA version to work. Some of them include running SSBB Jap version first and getting its software update and then WBB the SSBB USA version ( but this requires over 16 GB of data so it is not very convinient.) another one said to do Prophet's method and it would work fine . the more I read on, there are many more methods that JAP Wii owners swore by...

can anybody tell me what is the most convenient way to play USA SSBBB on my 3.2J Wii with wiikey 1.9s?

 

This thread has too many pages so I have a question, after reading a couple, to all the people with 'success stories', can you play ssbb at 60hz?
Mine works:
Argon v1.8 Pal Wii
Used Wii brickblocer first
Img burn x2 speed, layer break.
Verbatim DVD +R dl

The screen goes blue when on 60hz, otherwise 50hz is like 80% perfect.

 

the only thing you forgot to mention was what software you used to dump the backup, rawdumo or frii dump

 

Hey I see alot of people getting frustrated by asking the same questions over and over and people shouting back, how about someone stick a thread like a Q&A with all the things that are the best things to do, then add to it as the discussion generates new successes. I have read all 120+pages and well quite frankly I am still in the dark.

My main problem now is that I am lost when it comes to free dump, does anyone have an exact batch file that would work with my setup
