    Default LG GDR-8161B whats it good for?

    Picked up a GDR-8161B DVD ROM drive because I read that i can read Wii disks.

    Does a certain ROM for this drive work better than the other?

    What else I can use it for?

    It can also be used as a DVD-ROM
    They are sought after as they can backup wii disks.

    BTW - Anyone know if the GCC-4481B will also do the same thing?

    Pretty expensive for what it does, unless you got a cheap deal

    it was going for about half the price I can find on ebay (completed sales in last 30 days). so I thought I'd just play around with it. thats why i was asking if it can do anything else that's special

    not to mention that the gecko is also a faster way of doing it.

    SD gecko can do it in about 45 mins.....way faster
    usb gecko, because it is so new is only a tiny bit faster than the LG drive. The firmware is upgradable though, so its not really an issue right now.
