Verbatim Lightscribe is Not Working With Wii

Verbatim's LightScribe discs allow a disc's label side to be burned with a graphic or identifying image without the use of additional labels or inking techniques. The discs can be used in any drive that allows conventional CDs or DVDs, including a Nintendo Wii that has been modified to allow home-burned games and discs. If some LightScribe discs are not working in your Wii, a simple series of troubleshooting steps can fix the problem.

Instructions

    • 1

      Clean the non-working DVD with a lens cleaning cloth and rubbing alcohol to ensure the Wii is not having trouble reading a dirty disc. Clean gently in straight motions from the disc's central hole to outer edge as writable DVDs are more susceptible to scratching than commercial ones.

    • 2

      Open "Control Panel" in your computer's Start menu and choose "Hardware and Devices." Click the "+" sign next to "CD and DVD Drives" and right-click your DVD drive then choose "Properties." Click "Update Driver" to make sure the error is not being caused by a conflict between your operating system and DVD drive. This could cause your PC to burn unreadable discs.

    • 3

      Re-burn the problematic data to a new disc at a slower write speed. Many DVD writers default to the fastest writing speed available, but modified Wii consoles will often experience errors with data written at greater speeds.

    • 4

      Use a disc writing program other than Verbatim's software, such as your computer's built-in disc writing function, to burn a new copy of the disc. Robert Saotome, Wii home-brew community moderator, explains: "Verbatim's software indexes data in such a way that many modified Wiis will have trouble reading it. It's better to use another program to write discs."

    • 5

      Insert the newly-burned disc into your Wii without applying the LightScribe label. Boot the disc to ensure it works, then eject it.

    • 6

      Insert the disc into your computer's drive and open the LightScribe software. Apply the label to the working disc and re-insert it into your Wii to play games from a working LightScribe-labeled disc.
