I'm not even sure if bitsetting was really around when the 104 came out... that drive is pretty old now!

 

The 'Pioneer' forum at CDFreaks is probably a good place to start looking for info.

 

Are you actually having a problem with +R discs not being recognised at all in your players or something? Otherwise you don't really have anything to gain by bitsetting.

You will need to buy a new drive as pioneer 104 cannot booktype DVD-ROM also the guide you are following the last piece of advice is to not bother verifying with a witty it's just wasting someones time. DO NOT follow that bit of advice and ALWAYS VERIFY after burning anything.

If you can get a benq 1650/55 those have been excellent for my Wii backups.

 

The Liteon 20A1P (I have 3 of them) non of them can burn Wii backups with consistency using top quality media eg taiyo yuden and verbatim example I burn a verb @4x wii starts to read it then gives up, the next one is fine, then next 3 fail, stick same image on CMC mag media and it works then go back to verb and taiyo yuden and fail ~KLON firmware in all liteons.

 

Switch to one of my benq and not a single failure on over 30 backups.

 

Trying to find a new benq 1650 will be very hard work I thought I would just mention the liteon (however the drive in my wii is brand new but no 2 wii drives are exactly the same so other users may have had no issues with their liteon 20a1p and wii backups)

 

It will be a question of take the plunge, use good media burnt @ 4x finding media that will burn @2x in newer writers and newer media will require a bit of luck also
