Thanks for the fast reply, all help is always appreciated.
I've tried all kinds of combinations with SSBB. I've tried the dual layer version ripped from the wii, a single layer version ripped from the wii as well as the dual layer version loaded though my PC.
And the naruto game was originally on my PC and hasn't seen a dvd yet.
I'm sure both of these are 100% functional.
EDIT: Here is the drive I'm using for all of this.
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160GB ST3160021A
EDIT2: Tweaked with the power management stuff, using the HDDScan. Changed it to 8-11 hours. Popped in the naruto game, cinematic loaded fine(twice!), played the story mode for roughly 10 minutes, got all excited and then the following loading screen never ended.
Going to try this with SSBB.
EDIT3: Alright, tried with SSBB. Everything works fine, for about 10 minutes. Then, the hard drive must be falling asleep or going idle or w.e., and files are no longer loaded from it, resulting in a never ending loading screen.
Any ideas as to what I should do?
EDIT4: Ok, so here's what I came up with after all these tests:
If I run on Rev13b, then the game freezes roughly around 10 seconds into the game. (Spinning down?)
If I run on Rev9, then the game freezes(and I timed it) at 4 minutes. (HD sleeping?)
(Both of these tested are with the HDDScan applied at 8-12 hours, or disabled.)
Any suggestion as to what I should try? Any suggestions for some good hard drives to buy? Ones that will avoid all of these problems?
I'm really lost. It seems that I have tried literally everything possible with this god damn hard drive. There must be something I could do.
EDIT5: At the
USB Devices Compatibility List, my enclosure is listed as not working, tested by 1 person. Ugh, fml. I have no idea what to believe or do anymore.
EDIT6: Okay, played Donkey Kong for long enough, it froze also. Same as SSBB.
