Changes

When I load ScummVM, I usually dont have a disk in the drive. However, I had Zelda in, and it wouldn't load. I had to shutdown the Wii and turn it back on. After removing the disk, it worked. Why exactly, and can it be fixed? Also, is it possible to insert the real CD-Rom game in and play it? --[[User:Atariangamer|Atariangamer]] 19:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

:No the Wii can only read DVDs, not CDs. CDs hold about 500MB while DVDs hold up to 8.54. Thus you need a special laser for the task, as they are different "formats" in this way. The problem with a disk being in the drive is most likely fixable. Often it is data going where it isn't supposed to. This was the case for an emulator, where you would have to take out the GC controllers or you would get a stack dump. If you like the game on a CD, you are in luck, as CDs can easily be ripped and put on an SD card, though I don't know if it should be an ISO, the data files themselves, or if you nee special software.
