You can use either DVD-R or DVD+R i've used both on my ps2 backups and the DVD+R's work just fine...not sure about the wii, just because i have a HUGE stack of DVD-Rs!! but i've been wanting to try this, so i'll see how it works and post!

no, until someone figures out how to hack a 4.3 wii.....you can't do crap right now.....no one has hacked that yet....it's even more secure than 4.2!

No one has hacked 4.3 yet, AND no one has found a way to downgrade from 4.2 yet....so in short....no

DVD+R works as well but you have to use booktype dvd-r (dont ask me how to configure that, I only read it everywhere)
I for myself always use dvd-r and never had a bad copy.

You have to do some patching in order to get a DVD+R to work on a wii....not worth it to me unless all that you have are DVD+Rs
