Brawl not working

[Takeshi55]

SSBB doesn't seem to work at all and I've tried 3 different Brawl discs, but it always comes out as DVD not being able to be read. I put different settings on Gecko and also checked for scartches, but each disc looks fine and better than some other I have. Does anyone else have a problem like this?

[Deathwolf]

Are you able to play SSBB without Gecko OS? If not, you should try to clean your wii laser. Try youtube etc. If it still doesn't work, you can use an USB Loader.

BTW Gecko OS doesn't support burned backup discs... You have to install cIOS Corp!

[goemon_guy]

Do other games work fine with Gecko?

This has happened to me before, but I was able to fix the problem by waiting a bit, and it just worked.

I think there might be a problem with your Wii DVD Drive, but I can't say for sure.

Also, as Deathwolf said, try playing the game w/o Gecko OS.

[Takeshi55]

I tried it without Gecko too, but even that doesn't work. BTW, all of my Brawl discs are legit and bought either online or a shop.

Oh, and all other games work fine with Gecko.

[Deathwolf]

you should try to clean your wii laser.

[Takeshi55]

I used the cleaning kit and there was quite a lot of dust on the lens. At frist the game didn't work, but the second time I tried it worked fine and there were no crashes like there usually are with Brawl.

[Takeshi55]

The game crashed again and made that awful sound. :/

[Deathwolf]

without codes?

[Takeshi55]

No, I have codes on, but it crashes a LOT less than it used to. I just used my cleaning kit to check for more dust, and there was a little bit still on there.

Edit: The game froze again. Anyone know which codes do this?

[Deathwolf]

How should we know since we don't know which codes you're using?xD post it here.

[Takeshi55]

every Alloy killed equals 1000
P.Trainer Infinite Stamina, originally by Phantom Wings
99 Lives (Press L)
Infinite Jumps (Must be on)
P1 Infinite Jumps

In the past, the game has crashed even without codes on.

[matt123337]

just looked at the every alloy killed = 1000, noticed i didn't use an endif. try:
every Alloy killed equals 1000(press L during the match)
284DE4B0 FFBF0040
049546EC 380403E8
E0000000 80008000

[Takeshi55]

Oh, actually, I turned that code off and continued playing Brawl, but the game crashed again.

I now have these codes on:
99 Lives (Press L) (Still)
XXXX alloys defeated in cruel brawl/endless brawl
Disable HRC Timer: Down and A to Finish
Infinite Jumps (Must be on) (Still)
P1 Infinite Jumps (Still)


Also, this has happened before when I've had the codes off, but because it happens far less than it did before, I'm not sure.

Though... I'm not 100% sure, but the problem of crashing may have to do with when I unlock a new character. It could be that the game crashes when I continue the SSE, but also have a new character unlocked.

This is just a thought, but it might be the DVD-drive itself for the Wii. Brawl (early editions especially) has had some known issues with slowly killing the drive (especially on older models)

I had to send my Wii into Nintendo and they had to replace the entire drive, mind you this was way before I even had Homebrew and all that fun stuff on my system.

As Deathwolf and Arudo said, sounds like your drive is dying... try a USB loader and see if that fixes the issue.  If nothing else the USB loader will narrow down whether your issue is the drive or the codes.  I believe the general opinion in this forum is that USB loaders are ethical if your drive is dying -- just don't steal games and all should be fine.

Also, don't bother sending your Wii to Nintendo for repair... they will most likely refuse due to homebrew "voiding your warranty."
