Wii #2712 - Kirby's Return to Dreamland (USA)

[RPGPlayer88]

Simply said it allows you to run a NAND from either SD or USB and it also allows you to run games from USB, but since it works differently than cIOS basically all games just work.
It's a bit tricky to set up and if you can't have bootmii in boot2 it's also a bit harder to start.

... i do have bootmii, but is there anything else that comes to mind? cause it was a gift from a friend, this hacked wii and usb, but if nothing else does i can get a hold of him. im using USBloader Gx scrubbed copy of game ive tried IOS 222 223 250 and 249. dunno what version of usb loader gx.

k, i instaled sneek, and i have zero idea how to access it on my wii.

and, my friend saw this, recognized my profile and told me to tell you that iosd2x base 56 in slot 249 fixes all.

Hello all~

I'm using NeoGamma R9 Beta 50 on Wii version 4.3U.

I used a WBFS SD card to store kirby, and I loaded up NeoGamma and started playing the game.

Everything was fine, until I clicked on 'new game'.

I then received a pink error message with the usual "An error has occured. Press the eject button...." yada, yada.

What do I do to make the game work?

I skimmed the posts above and still, nothing.

Help? Please? I desperately want to play this with my lil' bro, we both kick ass in Kirby.

Neogamma did not work for me but USB Gecko did.

Goddamn that was fast~

Does USB Gecko support WBFS SD cards as well as usb?

Please tell me what i need to do to fix it in Gecko if it isnt already working the way it is.

Dude, this did NOT work for me ;n;

 

[toge]

so any updates to how to get this to work with neogamma?

 

[srkmish]

Dunno, but it is the only way i found in working with neogamma after having tried several methods. Anyone else got it working?

It makes me crazy. I can't start this game.

I don't the seem to have the same problem as others. Most people who have issues with it can at least start it and see the intro.

Me, when I start the game, I only get a black screen (and wiimote switches off). I can't even see the usual warning screen you always get when a game is started.

Here's what I have and what I tried:

I've got an PAL wii (I bought it in 2007 or 2008, can't remember exactly) with system menu 3.2E (it was originally 3.3E, but I downgraded after buying it to reenabled the trutcha bug). Priiloader and starpatch are installed. I upgraded manually every IOS between 36 and 80 with the latest official ones from Nintendo (I got them with nusdownloader). I never upgraded the lower IOS for fear of bricking the console. The drive is chipped (I think it's a wiikey2, but I'm not sure) and I can start any backup from the disk channel (even if the region is different). The homebrew channel (the first version, I never upgraded it) and usb loader GX 2.3 (I think it's the latest version) are installed. CIOS d2x v7alpha is installed (the base 56 on 249, the base 57 on 250 and the base 58 on 251). The USB drive is a Western Digital Passport. The games are on a WBFS partition. There's also a FAT32 partition for usbloader gx files (covers, etc...)

The iso I've got is not scrubbed. It's the same scene repack somebody was talking about in this thread.

I tried starting the game with usb loader + CIOS 249 (which is d2x v7alpha base 56): no luck: black screen.

I tried to change every loader option + other d2x variation: still black screen.

I tried burning the game on a DVD and start it with the disk channel. It should have worked for the latest official ios56 is installed. Still no luck: same black screen.

I tried again the disk channel after unplugging the hard drive and the sd card (you never know what can be checked): still the black screen.

I dumped my NAND with usb loader GX. I extracted all the IOSes of the system upgrade from the game disk iso (using wii scrubber). I upgraded the emulated NAND with these wads (I used showmiiwads on a PC). I know ... it's an upgrade for a NTSC console and mine is PAL ... but it's an emulated NAND, so you can't really brick anything. I uninstalled from the emulated NAND (still using showmiiwads) every non official titles (homebrew channel, etc...).
Then, I tried starting the game with usb loader GX + CIOS 249 (which is d2x v7alpha base 56) with the option "nand emulation = full".
Still no luck: black screen.

I can think of nothing else to try.

Is there a way to know why a game does not start (a log file or something) ?

 

[razorrebel]

hmm.... any updates on neogamma yet, anyone?

 

[razorrebel]

Could it be that the wii filesystem needs to be on 4.3? I just updated and checking now.

My problem is solved. I installed the PAL version (sushi release) instead of the NTSC one (vomit release) and it worked.

Apparently, it was an issue with PAL/NTSC. Probably because my modchip patch on the flight NTSC disks to PAL.

Just so you all know, I had this problem where the game freezes right after selecting "main mode" and I solved it by updating USB Loader GX to the latest version (which is 2.3). I am using GX on a very old cIOS 249 (rev 10) and I didn't need to install these d2x wads that people are talking about everywhere. My only complain so far is that DKC Returns stopped working... now I get a "Please insert Donkey Kong Country Returns disk" and the Wii freezes... It is bad and I hope they fix it soon in GX (because it was working before), but it is not a big deal for me because I also have WiiFlow that runs on cIOS 222 and DKC works perfectly with it. I hope this info helps if you are having problems to make Kirby work.

 

[NeoandGeo]

I have tried installing my disc version of this game several times, but using CFG USB Loader v70 with cIOS 56 over 249 (I believe) I freeze up every single time trying to enter the first challenge room. The screen goes black after Kirby transforms into the swordsman and enters. The screen goes black, and it loops the last two seconds of music over and over. I have seen several people with this exact same problem only for the rest of the game to work perfectly. Is there a solution to this?

Thanks

I had the exact same issue. All the game is fine except the challenges.

My wii is a 4.1u. I had not touched it in almost a year.

I update cLoader from v60 to v70. No joy.

Then installed cIOSX dx2 v6 with the homebrew installer. Base 56 on slot 246. Problem solved! I just played through the sword and the whip challenges. Not a single freeze anymore.

Hope this help.

I love this game. I bought a legit copy. First game I'm able to play coop with my two daughters (4 and 6 y/o). As long as I'm player 1, everything is fine and the difficulty level is just right.

 

[NeoandGeo]

Nice! It worked like a charm. Many thanks.

 

[astroberryz]

I bought the original Japanese version game to play on my PAL soft-modded Wii [3.1 E] and I get the same problem.

I try installing cIOSX dx2 v6 with the homebrew installer and still freezes.


Edit: loading the disc through GeckoOS and also tried Neogamma.

Downloaded from TPB by HobbitGamez
Kirby's Return to Dream Land [WBFS] (SUKE01) {NTSC} [wiiGM]

If I select English it will give me white screen after Title Screen.

I have also tried cIOS d2x v7 base 57 in slot 250 Rev21
iso222 and iso223.

Nothing works.

Please someone help me.

 

[bkg73123]

OK I GOT IT WORKING!

I am not ashamed to admit when I am wrong so here goes.
I was not using the latest version of USB Loader GX.
I thought I was since I just loaded it but I went into the menu options and selected update all
and I had to download my covers again but Kirby is working now.
Couldnt figure out how to save progress, but at least it plays.

Is there something special you must do to be able to save your progress?

Thanks,
B
