Ok so it was the wrong CIOS (v10 beta53-alt). I changed 249 and 250 to v10 beta52. However I am still running into some issues which I need help with (
reminder, all WADs are NTSC and my Wii is PAL).
- WiiWare - I tried Cave Story (which I saw in another thread was recommended by Cyan to test Emunand. It worked fine. The other WiiWare I tried only loaded a black screen (MegaMan 9 and Excite Bike Rally) Both these games are listed as compatible with Emunand in the compatability chart so not sure why they dont work. Maybe they just have to run in Neek mode?
- Generally WADs from NES, SNES, Genesis, NeoGeo are working after I tell the games to lanch in forced NTSC mode. I only tried one game per system though.
- Arcade VC - I tried 1 WAD loaded through USBLGX (Ghosts n Goblins). I always get an error after loading on a black screen that says "An error occurred during the process of reading from or writing to the Wii System Memory. Please refer to the WIi Operations Mnaual for details.). Then I need to do a hard power down. Any ideas why that is?
- Master System - I tried one game that I cannot get to work (RType). No matter what I choose (force PAL50/60/480p or force NTSC/480P) it loads to a black screen but I can hear the music. I see my TV change to 576 interlaced mode but no video. Any help here?
Finally - Following all the great advice on this site from Cyan and others I managed to set up UNEEK and can run WiiWare games off my Neek environment or book them from USB Loader (through Neek). It was a lot of reading but it works!
BUT this whole project started as I wanted to play Castlevania Rebirth and Contra Rebirth. The games run fine but they only run in 480 interlaced and look blurry. I have component cables and my TV supports 480P. I tried running them in forced NTSC and NTSC 480P but nothing they still launch in 480i. I seem to find info online that these games run in 480i for PAL and 480p for NTSC. Why cant i run in 480P. Any ideas?
NEW UPDATE - So after messing with the 3 rebirth games trying to get them to launch in 480P I somehow broke Neek mode. WTF? Now when press 1 to access the menu the list of games is gone. When I try to launch Contra Rebirth from the tile in Neek mode it says the game is not accessible or compatible (I forget). Contra Rebirth still launches fine from USB Loader with Neek turned on in the launch settings but for some reason its broken lanching in Neek.
I am getting pretty frustrated
I have several computers that can run Dolphin fine but I thought this Wii stuff would be a fun project. It is tough!
