Weird Coincidence with Project M first boot-up

[#TeeKhay]

So, I wanted to see if anyone else here was having a problem/coincidence like this. Yesterday, I bought a 2GB SD Card, and a used copy of Brawl. I've been stomping people at my school in Brawl, but I don't own the game and I know I'm not good and want to get better. Plus, I want to start playing Project M.

So I followed the instructions on the Project M site to get it loaded to the SD Card. I updated my Wii, launched Brawl, deleted the custom stages, put in the SD Card and tried to launch Project M. I updated it, then pressed play. Back to the Wii menu, can't get back into Brawl. The Wii just won't read the disc anymore. So today, I walked 2 hours each way to the local mall to return the game and grab a new one, and the exact same thing happened.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this being an error, or is this just a weird coincidence? It's worth noting that the Wii reads my Melee disc perfectly through all of this, and neither Brawl disc has any scratches. They both however have a weird ring that looks like grease about halfway into the disc. I tried to take a pic but it won't show up on camera, maybe I'm just crazy.

I think I posted this in the wrong subforum.... opps.

Yup, I think this belongs in the Help and Support subforum. I would help, but I don't know much about technical stuff like this. Good luck figuring PM out and improving!

This is a common problem with Brawl. It uses a dual-layer disc because of how much content it has(mostly due to SSE). IIRC, it's the only Wii game to use one. It's tougher to read, especially if your Wii is a bit older, as the lens may be a little dirty. I would recommend contacting Nintendo's customer support, they will let you box up your Wii and send it to them, and they will clean the lens for free, then send it back to you.

Xenoblade has it too.
Shame that only one of the two games to try to utilize as much space as possible has it solely revolved around CGI cutscenes.

Anyways, Disc Drive error.
Send to Nintendo to fix, doing it yourself is really hard unless you know exactly what your doing.

This happens to me sometimes to I usually just wait a second before pressing play then it loads

I mean the Wii won't read the Brawl disc at all now.
