I think it is cluster problems it seems that it has put it at 32 kb of cluster stop working those options test in an sd is what are I haorita xd

hey I have the solution put both the usb if you have it and if you have it in the sd you will also have to do it change from 32kb of cluster to 16 kb of cluter I think this would work the game with preview or the art gallery or the iso trailer

Bumping to know if the above post works for this. I have the same problem and I don't have an SD card reader ATM to test for myself. This is the only thread I could find anywhere about this specific problem.

I have the same exact issue. When I use Dolphin emulator, the bonus disc plays the videos though.

I mean... the Wii is original hardware, so it should also play the videos.

Any updates related to this problem?

The Wii isn't 100% original hardware by default, the stock BC AFAIK involves under clocking hardware and isolating the Wii's extra assets.

The question I'd have is whether the disc runs fine via stock BC/MIOS (the two 'IOS' responsible for BC via the disc channel) and a mod chip.

The Wii isn't basically an overclocked GameCube? The Wii does not emulate GameCube games.

As far as I know when you launch a GameCube game the Wii's CPU and GPU deliberately slow down their clock speeds to perfectly match the original GameCube hardware.

Yes, but in order to become a GC it has to both underclock and isolate components like USB.

I don't know how Nintendon't runs GC games, but given it has access to USB means it isn't '100% original hardware'.

Note that even alternatives like Dios Mios reports issues.

Best comparison I can think of would be virtualization like vmware, which itself isn't perfect even when run on x86 hosts.

I have tried tinkering with Nintendont and USB Loader GX's options and nothing.

Also the same issue happens to Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc. When you select a promotional video, you have a black screen for 2 seconds and then it kicks you back to the bonus game menu. So the issue is not only related to the Metroid Prime 2 Bonus Disc. Besides these issues, Nintendont and USB Loader GX work flawlessly for me.
