RVT Wii Media

Just curious if RVT-R media can be played on a modded Wii or anything or is it like the Gamecube which requires a special laser drive to read it? I may be getting ahold of a disc soon so it would be good to know.

 

its special, just like NR disks I think. In fact, someone mentioned that RVT players play NR-disks as well so

 

Borman is right, I think in the old topic about it said that the RVT player is the equivalent to the NR reader (and will also NR discs!), therefore it will only play RVT and NR discs, and no retail discs. Therefore RVT discs probably do not work on a retail Wii either, even if it was modded.

 

Good thing about the RVT is that it wil play NR disc of any region.

 

Ah, well at least theres that. That was a total pain in the ass on Gamecube.

Thanks for the responses guys! Does anyone know someone here with one who I'd be able to bug with some questions?

 

Resigning the discs... does that mean you can also resign a RVT disc?

 

Any links to that yet? Has it been released?

 

yes, a couple of days ago

Awesome, thanks!

 

You'd still need a way to rip the RVT disc. Does anyone know if those DVD-ROM's that read the Wii disc's also read RVT discs? If so, you'd be set. Though modding the discs would change the TOC, not sure if this app fixes that, but if the GCN is any indication, it wont and you'd have to do that manually.

 

If someone has a way to rip the content of a RVT disc with the use of a RVT-reader, then please let me know

 

I ordered the fastest drive, I'll confirm if it works or not when it arrives. If it doesnt, a friend pointed out that since RVT-R Readers can read NR discs, I might want to try the PSO exploit with it, and see if the Wii will read the RVT in place of an NR. Does anyone know of any app's that are tuned for the Wii with this exploit? ( I hear they changed the passcode to the drive to be upper or lowercase, I'm not sure which).

 

Problem with the PSO exploit, the wii doesnt simulate the BBA/wifi as a CUBE BBA... so you can't connect?

 

I'd be interested to see if any of those ethernet dongles can work with the GCN software that uses the BBA. We'd need an app tuned to Wii's specifications, but I think its possible still.

 

Bah, You're right. It wont work with the standard wireless:



So, does anyone out there know of a way to simulate the BBA of the GCN on the Wii? One of those Ethernet Adapters perhaps?

 

I'm guessing that the BBA is as much supported on the Wii as the AGB link cable is supported on the NDS >_<

 

One thing I'm trying to find is , if when the Wii runs in GCN mode, are the USB ports disabled? Because IIRC the expansion bays in the bottom of the Cube were just USB lines. Its probably wishful thinking though. Wifi is killed when it runs in GCN mode.

 

Ok, I've confirmed that the Wii LAN Adapter won't work in Gamecube mode, so now Im going to try a stupid experiment where I try to rip what I can off a Retail Wii disc using my GCN via the PSO exploit.

 

Ripping a Retail and RVT disc both fail on a retail cube via the PSO exploit, I'm not even going to bother opening my NR Reader to try and test it, I don't see how it would work if these both failed in the retail cube.

Now I guess all thats left to do is wait until that DVD ROM shows up at my door.
