Has anyone already checked CIOS rev19? I don't want to go back to 13 and also don't have any game in database to redump... I've dumped a game and everything looks fine...but I don't know if it's a good dump or not...

If the right dump is already in DB you can compare. If your dump matches, rev19 might be safe but it's better to check also if you got no "error reading sector data" (dump will work fine as backup, but it's bad).

I have tested superdump with rev 19 and dumped my Wii Sports Resort.
It`s one of the most dumped Games and my dump match the databse crc.
And I have read that Avatar isn`t bca protected. (The Scene PAL Dump was only a bad dump

)

I've also dumped Super Smash Bros Brawl with rev19...and it matches too, so DVD-9 dumping should also be fine...

Thanks for the infos, I will try to check it as soon as posible (I have to change chip or disable it). By the way if we'll have more feedbacks I could update the faq with rev19 only.

Yeah, I must say that I have installed the stable basic/main cIOS of rev 19. (There are 5 different IOS with difference functions)

Yes it's implicit is cIOS / IOS249.
Someone have tested WODE? I see it dumps directly from drive so it's not wifi, by the way I'd like to know how many cables you'll have to change because they got cut or broken (you have a tiny drive cable that come out from wii and connect to slave board, it was so difficult to make some round cable or connector or use one of the usb ports instead?

).

I don't know how to tell which cIOS I'm using, I softmodded my wii using
This tutorial though. How can I check the version?
Two more questions:
1. How do you calculate the DOL MD5 value? I saw the tool used to get this but how do you use it? I double clicked the exe file but it won't load. If it makes a difference I'm using windows 7.
2. How do you determine the Disc Sectors since these Gamecube disc's won't load in IsoBuster?

0. There's no way to know it unless you simply reinstal new version rev19 so you know which version you have.
1. It's a command line: open prompt and digit "dolmd5 "filename.iso"
2. There's no need to report image sectors, simply report image size and check if it's right. By the way you can get sectors size with "image size / 2048"
