Finalised Disk Failed! Error on Wii Game Backup Copy

[andresenshannon]

Image burn went through the entire process almost of backing up my Wii game but when it gets to finalizing the disk this error comes up and I can not figure out how to get the disk to finalize, can you please tell me what I am doing wrong? I am new to all this and don't know much. Thanks!

 

Error reads:

Finalized Disk Failed!

Device: [0:0:0] Matshita DVD-RAM UJ8515 1.50 (F:) (ATA)

Reason: Cannot write medium - incompatible format

A log from that burn would be more helpful. Copy from the Log window (which you shouldn't have closed ) or, if you closed ImgBurn after that, look in the Help menu.

Sorry I do not have a log as the files were extracted by RawDump then I used Image Burn to burn the ISO files to a DVD. Please HELP! I'm Losing my mind trying to figure this stuff out. Thanks!!!

Look in ImgBurn's Help menu for ImgBurn's logs

Here is a copy from the Image Burn Log on the issue. Sorry for the confusion, like I said I am new to all of this and Thanks a bunch for your help.

Junk media on a laptop burner is never a good combination. Try with Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden blanks and it should work

Ok it did finalize the disk so that process works but I put it in the Wii to make sure it plays and the Wii says Unable to read the disk. I don't know what to do, can you please tell me what I need to do, I thought this was supposed to work with out the modchip for the Wii?

[mmalves]

It didn't pass verification, which means the disc is bad.

Who told you that?

Crap media, get some good stuff.

I used a Verbatim DVD for the burn like the person suggested earlier? What disks should I be using? Here is a copy from the log.

and now you've aborted the verify so we can't see if it burnt correctly!

 

btw, the backups will never play on a standard wii console.

 

It'll be expecting an original / pressed disc and if it doesn't get one it'll tell you to get lost.

[andresenshannon]

So even it is backed up and burned correctly my Wii will still not play the disk? So I need to purchase the ModChip? Im confused and not good at this stuff I thought this was supposed to work without the ModChip. I guess I also didn't realize that I needed to put the disk back in to be verified, I just thought because the program ejected the disk it was done? I will retry AGAIN! But do I need to buy the chip?

[mmalves]

Use ImgBurn's Verify mode to check that disc against that same image.

 

As for the Wii needing a modchip or something we don't really know. Have you searched with Google? I think you'll find there all the answers you need
