Hi everyone!

I'm currently playing through Metroid Prime 3. First of all, this next description will contain some minor spoilers for the beginning of the game. Don't say I didn't warn you!

My European launch Wii is running firmware version 4.2 with CIOSCORP 3.4 installed. Also, I've got CIOS249, cMIOS and BootMii installed. I'm using the original Metroid Prime 3 disc (so no backup). I've just fought Meta Ridley, activated the generator en met the other hunters in the elevator. After Samus gets knocked out and the screens goes black for a bit the game freezes.

I've tried two times now. The first time it froze just after the "a few months later" text disappeared. The game didn't continue, so I pressed the home button to see if it froze. At that moment, the Wii restarted. When I tried again it got a little further, to when a scientist asks if I'm alright. The sound stopped and the screen just froze.

The disc looks like new. There's no visible damage at all.

Any ideas? Of course, I could just virginize my Wii, but I'd rather fix the source of the problem directly.

To celebrate the birthday of World of Goo, the well-received DRM free indie game that was launched for PC and WiiWare last year, 2D Boy has made it possible to buy their game at any price.

After paying a minimum of $0,01 via PayPal or credit card, the game will be downloadable for Windows, Mac and Linux (in .deb, .rpm and .tar.gz format).

I have here two different releases of the Resident Evil GameCube remake. Both were downloaded by torrent from different sites.

The first one is Resident_Evil_PAL_NGC-DNL. It consists of dnl-red1.iso (CRC 3431e6f1) and Resi-D2.iso (CRC e68566ac).
The other one is Resident_Evil_Pal_Multi5_GC-GCP. It consists of gcp-rea.gcm (CRC 9424b91a) and gcp-reb.gcm (CRC cff47312).

I'm going to keep one of them and delete the other one, so I'd like to know which one is actually the best. For me, the best one is the unmodified file (no shrinking either if possible) and of course the PAL version.

Any advice?

I don't think it has been posted before... There's no release yet, but if there's enough demand bLAStY might release it.

I just received a brand-new AceKard 2.1 as a replacement for my old AceKard 2 which recently died. I'll just use this topic to tell everyone about it, so AceKard gets a bit of positive marketing in return

I got my old AK2 about a year ago. It's one of the old ones with the ugly clips and the FAT error. It was really bad hardware wise, but the software was awesome (AKAIO for the win!). Unfortunately, it recently gave me the FAT error. I decided to contact the AceKard team, and they replied that they could replace my old cart for free if I sent some photo's of the PCB.

So I did. They didn't reply on the mail I sent them, but I decided to be patient. Today the package arrived. They shipped it with DHL express, so it took only a few days to get from China to the Netherlands! The quality has really improved since the old AK2, and the FAT error is gone even though I'm using the same MicroSDHC.

So, I'm a happy customer now. If AceKard reads this (I decided not to mail them, because they're busy enough): keep up the good work!
