I am unsure which IOS to use, CFG mod is using for some reason 248. Since its a DL game it goes also for IOS 53. The crash is consistent and happens on CFG and Wiiflow, will test later GX, but I don't expect a different result.

I guess I can try with 249, 250 and 251.

I have used two different dumps and the crash repeats itself.

So, to make things clear: I am on EP5, after doing the mission of "rescue all the women turned into statues" I get to the next bits of dialogue, and then I enter the first "phase" of the boss fight. The goal there is to destroy the Steam Tank, which I do. Then the game has a followup cutscene and dialog option and it crashes.

Game is not running on emunand.

Game is being launched from a 3.5" WD blue EHDD.

EDIT: using CIOS249 still has the crash, wonder if 222 will work.

EDIT 2: 222 Mload won't work, y-all crashes CFG mod, 250 doesn't works either. The crash remains the same. Once I get past the dialogue option the music starts going on a crescendo and cuts off right before hitting the peak.

EDIT 3: Ok, I figured it out. It was a scrubbed .iso, someone removed a partition from the game and would cause it to crash.
