Hacking Samurai Warriors 3 NTSC-U on NTSC console: Black Screen after creating save data

[HNKii]

Which cios and which version should I install to fix the problem?

Help please?

I have EXACTLY the same problem but with a PAL game on PAL vWii.

I tried to load the game with every cIOS installed,tried every video settings (force pal 50hz) but the game displays a black screen after save data.

Any help?

It's a shame that a top-shelf game such as this would take so long to get gamers working to fix it, but here's my efforts thus far:

Found this nugget of gold hidden in some other section of the forums. Using USB Loader GX, I navigated to the game's settings (Samurai Warriors 3 > Settings > Game Load). I set Video Mode to Force NTSC and Aspect Ratio to Force 4:3. This enabled the game to get past the loading screen and enter the main menu.

Unfortunately, the game has further issues, which various backups have reported, including my own. Supposedly numerous people's backups (regardless of NTSC or PAL, from the reports I've read) still freeze on a black screen (black out) when trying to play different story modes. I confirmed this with trying to play Hanzo Hattori's story mode.

In short, this issue occurs regardless of game version. It requires special video settings in the latest revision of USB Loader GX to get past the black screen after loading. It then still encounters black screens when trying certain story modes, making progress in the game impossible. An integrity test was done on my backup in Dolphin 4.0-7202 and passed. The game has the same issues in Dolphin, so I'll be looking into their thread on the game next.

Same thing happens with me (NTSC copy on PAL console), and changing the exact 2 video settings made it get to the menu, but starting any story mode freees in black screen.
Has anyone figured out how to run this game yet?

I think the utility isn't dumping our games correctly. There's some unconventional way of doing it but I haven't been able to find what it is again despite my searching.

Yeah, I think it was a problem with the dumping process, I just got a good dump and it works without any settings, I managed to start story mode at least.

Do you happen to have the link to that good dump?

id use cios259 rev 21 base 56
also try herms 224 or 223 yeah its older but if it works then good
i had to use herms 224 for monster hunter tri. it would lock up after start game. also arc rise phantasia had issues and worked well with ios 224. the rev 21 cios should work.
