Hacking Wii GoldenEye 007 Freezes on logos.

[xFanthomx]

I own a Firmware 4.2 Pal Wii softmodded with Wiiflow, UsbLoaderGX and Configurable USB Loader. All the .iso files downloaded work fine (Both NTSC and PAL) except for this one. I've downloaded both versions of this game and both of them don't work on my system with any of the Usb Loaders. I've tried several settings combinations in the settings of each loader but the game Always freeze at the logos and after the Metro-Goldwyn Mayer logo. The Drive the games are in is a TDK Usb Flash drive formtted to the wbfs format (Using WBFS Manager).

Could I have some help? I really want to play this game..
Thanks in advance.

The .iso file isn't corrupted. The game works fine on Dolphin emulator.

I believe Goldeneye requires a cIOS that uses IOS57 as a base. It is likely you are trying to use cIOS249, which usually uses IOS56 as a base, and/or you don't have a cIOS with base IOS57 installed. cIOS250 typically uses IOS57 as a base, so I would try loading the game with that.

If you want to be sure, post a sysCheck to see what's installed on your system.

If you need to update your IOS/cIOS files, drag your sysCheck into ModMii.

You do not need to republish your sysCheck in English.

If you look where it says IOS249[37], that means you are using cIOS249 with IOS37 as a base. This is what's causing your incompatibility issues. I suggest you drag your sysCheck into ModMii and allow it to download the necessary files you need to update your Wii with the recommended cIOS files. Among other things, it will install cIOS249 with IOS56 as a base, and it will install cIOS250 with IOS57 as a base. If you run Goldeneye with cIOS250, it should work perfectly.

ModMii Downloaded a bunch of IOS wads. I found and installed (using a wad manager) the cIOS250 making it a selectable option in "Load Ios". Didn't work. The game runs but still crashes on logos. (Also i found a bunch of new apps like Priiloader and Ios Patcher or something. Did I overlook them?)

Goldeneye 007 PAL requires a cIOS that uses IOS56 as a base, according Wii Backup Manager.

You should have followed ModMii's instructions and installed all the WADs. Assuming gburgue is correct, you actually need to run the game with the version of IOS249 ModMii would have had you install.

 

[xFanthomx]

Allright, now I installed every single wad file contained in the Wad folder created by modmii. I also installed PriiLoader.
Here's the new SysCheck. Is something missing?

Surprisingly, Running it with IOS250 still freezed during logos, however, with 249, It reached the "No save data" screen where it asked me to create a new save file. It froze again. I've been using the PAL version until now. I'll test the NTSC version.

 

[Lacius]

Like I said above, it should work with IOS249, not IOS250 like I mistakenly said earlier.

 

[xFanthomx]

Yeah I ran 250 just to be sure. It's allright. I'll try one more time with the PAL version hitting A as fast as I can to create a new save state and hopefully access the Menu screen.

 

[xFanthomx]

Looks like my Wii hates this game; neither NTSC wants to work. I guess I'll stick to another FPS game. Thank you anyway for all your help.

 

[Lacius]

I know you said it works with Dolphin, but it still sounds like a bad dump to me.

 

[xFanthomx]

For whatever reason this also happens with other games, all by Activision. Call of Duty World at war, Freezes randomly in-game with a buzzing sound. Rapala ProBass Fishing, It also crashes during Logos and (If i got past the main menu) In-Game. What's wrong with Activision games? They all crash the same way! Am I the only one facing this problem?

 

[Lacius]

Have you tried using another USB drive?

 

[xFanthomx]

I've been thinking about using an HDD istead of a USB. Thanks for the tip I'll try.

 

[xFanthomx]

Ugh, I found yet 2 other games that crash in-Game. What's weird, is that they freeze with the same buzzing sound. Is that normal? Anyway, the other 2 games are Need For Speed Carbon (Freezes after pursuit or/and a crew conquers a location) and Boom Blox (Freezes randomly in-game). I hope this problem gets fixed with the HDD I'll soon buy.

 

[xFanthomx]

I found the fix for this error. Finally. I knew that there was something in common here with all these games, the way they freezed with the same Buzzing sound. I fixed this error launching these games using cISO224. Golden Eye and BoomBlox now work fine. No more freezes. I haven't tested it on NFS Carbon, but I'm sure it will work.
