Wii games that will not install using WiiFlow

[megasdkirby]

Please note that I am NOT asking about ROMS/ISOS/Piracy, nor do I want any links to them. I want to backup my OWN games to my 320GB HDD. I hope this thread does not violate any rules, but if it does, please lock and/or delete this topic. I apologize in advance.

So I purchased a copy of Mario Kart Wii, used, for real cheap today. It was scratched to all hell, but once I resurfaced it (lightly, as there was no need for a deep repair...all were just superficial scratches), it now looks great.

Anyway, I placed the game in the Wii and it does play quite fine. However, when I try to install the game using Wiiflow, it will freeze halfway (did it again just now), give a "EXCEPTION DUMP ERROR" message, and reboot the Wii.

I thought the game was bad. However, it also happens on other Wii games, even new ones. The games do play, but won't install.

Is this common to certain games, like what happens to HDLoader on the PS2? Is there any type of list online indicating incompatible games and troubleshooting tips?

Thanks in advance!

And this is in OT why?

Woops.

Well, another game doesn't work either: Super Smash Brothers Melee. And that one was purchased brand new...it doesn't even have a smudge, scratch...it's PERFECT! Yet it stops downloading half way.

Odd, very odd. Could it be a dual layer thing?

Mario Kart works with USB Loader, which is what I use. Haven't tried Smash Bros. yet, I don't think. I'll try it later tonight.
