Mario Galaxy

Hi guys,

I tried to backup my PAL copy of Mario Galaxy today onto my PC which worked fine. I copied it with imageburn however once I load it up through the channel screen all I get is a black screen and nothing else.. what can I do?

Same thing here, except all mine is the NTSC version. Weird.

hey mate,

i did some research and although it seems like it probably wouldn't be the case, considering it's something so trivial - you'll actually find that a majority of the problems you encounter in playing backup games comes from the discs you use to copy them.

i went and bought some verbatim dvd-r's (not dvd+r's as these didn't work for Mario Galaxy) and they work flawlessly for every game I've backed up so far.

just burn at a slow speed using a high quality dvd-r and you should be good to go.

i use only verbatim dvd-r (singapore die) for testing and burn at 4x speed, this seems to be fine.

i tested that monkey ripper with some gamecube games i backup up and they all booted fine, so i assume all Wii games do too.

glad you got it sorted Michael

Hey mate,

yeah I've been using Monkey's ripper as well and have had no problems at all UNTIL I tried to backup SSBB. I went and bought some different DVD+R DL's (the +R' DL's are preferred for SSBB) and lo and behold, success :)

I may have find a solution, well it worked for me.

See attachment.

Firewire, the problem was related to media it seems not codes.

Have you tried backing up Mario Galaxy with an LG drive and Rawdump?

I have successfully backed this game up and burned it to TayoYuden (Made in Japan) DVD-R media.
