    Wii Best Disks

    Just got a chip which I will be fitting later this week. Just wanted to know which brand of disks people recommend single & dual layer.

    Thanks

    I personally use verbatim+ r's single and dual layer and never have any problems

    I've used the cheaper discs in the past but they can be hit or miss especially the dual layer ones

    I also use verbatim +r's but as only two games use dual layer discs I have never had to try one.

    Well i recommend Hard Disks, a WD320 should suit you and you won't have to worry about bad burns, scratches or storage !

    an external hdd is the best option I'll agree but for disks, anything using the ritek G05 dye are perfect, i've used these for years.

    I have done my mod and tried some TDK DVD's I already had and these seem to work fine. Only DL'ed one dual layer game so far so not bought DL disks yet.

    As I have hard modded gone do some more research to see if I can still use a HDD as this would be my prefered method.

    Thanks for all the advice.

    Search the sellers site for G05 site.

    Most DVD-R sold on the high street are very hit and miss. Sometimes they work sometimes not. In my experience I would echo what other guys have said here and go for a good quality G05 dye disk.

    Of course the softmod sticky is the best way to go if you can do it. All my games reside on a WD Passport USB powered HD now and they are very quick loading etc.
