Gecko OS not working with genuine discs My friend has a japanese modded wii but this thread has nothing to do with the use of pirated games. He moved to england a few years and brought his wii with him and would use his copied japanese games and only recently he asked why PAL games dont work. I told him instructions to set up homebrew and gecko os (1.9.3.1) and he tried it with a PAL disc which came with a no dvd error but if he puts in a copied japanese disc it works fine. Whats weird is that a GENUINE disc fails whereas a copy is working fine. If the disc was read by gecko then its probably a settings thing but the disc doesnt even get detected, i initially thought he was using a copied PAL disc but he insisted it was genuine. P.S. I am not asking support for the following: modchips, pirated games, backups, backup loaders etc. I am just inquiring about an incompatibility involving Gecko OS.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,62969,62969#msg-62969Mon, 17 Aug 2026 10:18:01 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,62969,63012#msg-63012 Re: Gecko OS not working with genuine discshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,62969,63012#msg-63012 bg4545 Homebrew ApplicationsSun, 12 Dec 2010 13:30:33 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,62969,63010#msg-63010 Re: Gecko OS not working with genuine discshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,62969,63010#msg-63010

his system menu is either 3.3 or 3.4 as he doesnt have SDHC compatibility and has played mario kart which i believe installs 3.3]]> SteelSLasher Homebrew ApplicationsSat, 11 Dec 2010 22:08:59 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,62969,62979#msg-62979 Re: Gecko OS not working with genuine discshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,62969,62979#msg-62979 bg4545 Homebrew ApplicationsSat, 11 Dec 2010 20:17:00 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,62969,62969#msg-62969 Gecko OS not working with genuine discshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,62969,62969#msg-62969
