Can Wii games be burned?

Funny you didn't mention anything about the DVDs...

@edit: Perhaps the reason you need to change the direction of the motor is because you're flashing it with non-standard firmware? Firmware could control which way the motor is spinning. If it spun in reverse, and you were using non-standard firmware, you wouldn't need to rotate the motor.

"spinning the motor 180 degrees, or swapping the traces, is all to make the 8164 look like the 8163 to the firmware."

Also found this on another xbox hacking site:

"It doesn't spin backward, how would it play DVD's? The motor hack is on the TRAY motor, which is reversed between the XBOX vs retail Samsung units. Layer 1 of a DVD can be read two different ways, OTP (opposite track path) and PTP (parallel track path), discs are pressed one way or the other. OTP is typical for Video DVD as the head doesn't have to seek at the layer transition, the head starts at the inner edge, moves to the outer edge, transistions layer, and then moves back to the inner edge. The drive motor does not change direction."

You need a permit or license to obtain a disk with enough space to hold a game like that.

A mate of mine downloaded NFSC from a torrent site for his Xbox 360. He burnt it to DVD and it works fine in his console.

I don't know if that helps balance the arguments...
