Hacking Kriby Return to Dreamland freezing.

[DeadOneWalking]

As of now I have backups of my games on a USB HDD, and everything loads just fine except for Return to Dreamland.
It loads just fine, but when I press "2" to continue past the loading screen it freezes.
I am not using any patched or cheats.
Wii system version is 4.3U
I am using USB Loader GX version 3 REV 1271, and have tried the following CIOS on slot 249 : d2x v6 base 56, dx2 v8 base 58, d2x-v10-beta-52 base 56, d2x-v10-beta-52 base 57, and d2x-v10-beta-53-alt base 56.
Any help and advise is appreciated.

Try reripping the disc, might be a bad rip

Ok, I tried that. I also reinstalled the d2x v6 base 56 on 249 based on this comparability list.
Alas, that did not work. Any other advise?

Top recommended cios is d2x v8 final base 57, but I read you tried that (or d2x v10 beta 52 which is basically the same thing)

Otherwise I don't have any other suggestions. You could try a different loader or neek

Ok, Configurable USB loader works with it.
Any clue as to why one loader works and the other dosen't? I would prefer to be able to load all my games through one loader.

I'm not sure off the top of my head which version of gx is the most recent/stable

You could post in the gx thread or call on @Cyan for input.

I got it working by deleting all the loader's files off my SD card and re-installing it. If it happens again, I'll bring it that thread.
Thank you!

that game has a memory edit detection.
Like you said, you disabled all patches, so I guess you knew about it, but maybe you had one global setting enabled (for example, force language?).

lastest loader as of today : 1271 (soon 1272)
best cIOS : d2x v10 r52, base57.
don't use r53, it doesn't work with that game.
Kirby also doesn't work on SD (if you ever tried to play from Wiiflow+game on SD).

if you want to use any memory edit (cheat, or other things), there is a fix for it.
a gameconfig.txt patch that you need to put on your SD card, and enable "hooktype" in the loader to load it. the gameconfig should be available on geckocodes, if not I have the EUR and USA version.

I only changed a settings in the loader, ensuring Nintendont is used for GameCube games, removing the play count display, and enabling the network at startup.
However I will keep that in mind should the issue come up again.

EDIT

I did make a backup of the original install, so if you wanted to see any files from that I can provide them.
