Tesco dvd-r

Are these any good for Wii backups?

I've just re-modded my Wii and I don't have a single blank DVD, so going to nip out to Tesco and grab 25 of these.

you can boot games from usb now mate you need to format to fat32 then use this link
to change the drive to wbfs i think it is theres been loads of differnet loaders about think theres one in the stickies in the wad post, the app in the link i posted also lets you dump the games to the hard drive/pen it scrubbs them and takes out all the dummy files so the game ends up smaller i have 22 games on a external hdd and its taken under 50gb well worth a look mate ive stoped burning them to discs now.
i think theres just the one cios file you need to install for usb support then your good to go. its mad i think its wii sports when you put it on a hdd its only about 150mb.

this post link has all the files you need instead of using the wbfs tool in this you can use the gui i linked above theres a quick tut in there too if i remember right.

i was having problems burning wii games when i first started using img burn
and bought some verbatims but now i use anything and they work fine i paid £8.50 for 50 so they are definitley at the bottom of the ladder and work just fine

Im guessing this will need some kind of softmod thing like homebrew to work?? or will it work ok if its chipped, i aint read up on this yet
