Probably reads the disc with the opposite spin of regular drives. You have no idea what your talking about ejonesss the wii has a modified dvd drive.

dont believe me

Xbox360 also uses a regular dvd. The hd-dvd add-on is only to watch movies isn't used for games. The only company that is using a new media format for the console is sony with the blue ray. My only guess as to why you think they have a hi def format is the 480p which has nothing to do with the media format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television (read that it will explain hi definition formats) No you don’t read my post the wii uses a regular Dvd drive thats not speculation is fact.Thats why this exploitation is possible.

It should be noted that even tho you can backup your game you probably still need to get around the security measures using a mod chip or swap disc. The only system that ever had their protection fully hacked was the dreamcast. Every other disc ba<x>sed media needed a mod chip case mod or boot disc to run copies. I have not looked into the current circumstance surrounding the wii but I am fairly sure its the case here too. Whether or not their is a mod chip out right now is beyond me Signa if you are running xp right click on my computer – >properties – >hardware -> device manager -> dvd/cd-rom drives it should tell you their what drive you have.
