GH20NS15 Not reading Wii Discs

Hello all,

I just bought an LG GH20NS15 off of ebay with the intention of playing Wii Games through Dolphin. The drive reads normal DVDs fine, but I can’t get it to work with Dolphin through various methods: Dolphin itself, RawDump, or FriiDump. When I try to run a disk (I’ve tried at least 4) through Dolphin, I get the message: “Could not read E:…” When I try to dump a disk in RawDump (2.0 and 2.1), it doesn’t even see a drive in the drop down menu. Trying to dump it anyway results in the message: “Error!! You may have a faulty drive!” I finally tried FriiDump (0.4) with Super Mario Galaxy 2 using these instructions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK_uxe4rkwc . Drag friidump application into the cmd console to give it the location. Then cd C:\, cd friidump, friidump –d e: -a. Friidump correctly saw my drive as the GH20NS15, but also said it was unsupported. Still, it worked for about four hours, seemingly completed the process, and gave me an 8.3GB ISO file. I tried to run this in Dolphin but was told it was an invalid GCM/ISO file, or not a GCM/ISO.

I know that some say to see if I can update the firmware, but I don’t know where to download the firmware from. Additionally, if I were to trust a site like Firmware-HQ, the date of the firmware listed is April 2008, and my drive was manufactured in May 2008. Interestingly, Windows lists my drive as a DVD-RW, even though it’s a DVD RAM drive. When I put in a Wii disc, Windows asks me if I want to burn a disc.

Thank you to anybody who responds.

My Specs are:
Intel i5-3570K overclocked to 4GHz
ASRock Extreme 4 Motherboard
EVGA Nvidia GTX 980 Superclocked
8GB 1866MHz DDR3 Ram (Two sticks)
Crucial MX100 256GB SSD
1 TB Traditional HDD (Forgot the brand)
LG GH20NS15
Windows 7 64

Maybe it has some sort of patched firmware. I don't know why you would want to by a disc drive just to dump discs with when modding a wii is very easy, costs nothing (assuming you have a wii), and is better.

SMG2 should be a 4.7GB game, as it isn't dual layer, at least according to TOSEC (US release):

size="4699979776"
crc="fbc19306"
md5="09a28c6fc53435b2d478516aac50055c"
sha1="83fbe312615f65be2123d1a88c5eb532e1feec2f"

That drive is probably not compatible with NOD dumpers.
