I feel bad just signing up and making a thread, but I've been planning to sign up for awhile and I lurk around here a lot so I guess it evens out.
Anyways, I was playing The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker off of Dios Mios Lite (v2.11) using WiiFlow. I was playing, basking in nostalgia and such, and after I cleared Dragon Roost Island I started heading to the new island. When I nearly got there, the game froze and started emitting an unsettling buzzing noise. This continued for a minute or so, and I then turned off the Wii and rebooted WiiFlow and then Wind Waker.
When I returned to the game, I had to redo a lot because my save was before I cleared Dragon Roost Island. When I got on the Sea again and went for the next island, I saved right before the spot I crashed the last time. I continued on, and when I reached the point I thought a cutscene would come on showing the island and stuff, before showing the cutscene I think is there the game went to a black screen. I waited awhile, nothing happened. I rebooted the console.
I started Wind Waker back up, and I tried to boot up my save. All I got was a black screen.
Since then I've tried doing many things to fix this: Trying different DML versions (2.0, 2.5, 2.8, 2.11), messing with settings in the WiiFlow settings menu for the game, putting a disc into the disc slot, and now I'm at my last resort; The ever-helpful people of GBAtemp. If anyone can diagnose the problem and possibly point me in the right direction that would be great, I would love to play this game some more because it is my favorite Zelda game.
TL;DR: Using Dios Mios Lite version 2.11 off of WiiFlow, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker crashed during what I thought to be a cutscene and now it won't load the save, just giving me a black screen. Help greatly appreciated.

It would be ideal if you could just rip the game directly from the disc on your Wii, but seeing as that is not an option try to get past the point your game crashed last time. If it happens again, you will have a back up save, and you can always find another copy of Wind Waker. Some games are just straight up bad dumps and certain features fail to load. I've had similar things happen.
