Can someone tell how to name the Pikmin 3 folder so Loadiine can read it?

If you use the last nightly, it will automatically find ID6 in meta/meta.xml.
If no "meta" folder, go to gametdb.com to find it ;)

PAL Pikmin 3 : Pikmin 3 [AC3P01]
US : Pikmin 3 [AC3E01]
JAP : Pikmin 3 [AC3J01]

Then it was probably a garbage SSD. NAND based media has over a 2000% reliability rating then mechanical platters. Its simple physics. But then again, you never had an SSD, so you wouldn't know.
To tell the truth, if you get a good HDD, you'll discard it for obsoleteness first than for write/read errors. For most users, that lifespan is enough

And about the SD Card claims, let's just say that if you put TPHD on a 4.31 GB SD Card, even class 4, you will get good load times (as good as it gets, it's still TPHD)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding and I apologize if its my fault but the directions mention if you want to change games or go back to the Wii U menu you just press home button like you normally would. Every time I press home it just freezes the game, am I not suppose to push home or is it something set wrong in settings?

Normally, you just press Home and return to the menu and then back to Mii Maker, but if it's freezing, something is definitely amiss. Which version of Loadiine GX2 are you using, which game are you running and have you tried dumping it again to get a clean dump with DDD?

How would I know what version of Loadiine I'm using? I think its GX2 like in the title of this topic, also the game is Zero: Nuregarasu no Miko.

I thought it listed it in the app itself, but it shouldn't be freezing.

Shows both nightly and official builds, either way, I assume you're loading it via Mii Maker method but if it's locking up, it could be the game, I don't know, I never had that issue. Can you try dumping it again?

The game itself runs perfectly fine so I'll save the dumping for last. I'll try this nightly build of Loadiine and if that still doesnt work I'll make a dump.

I don't know what else it could be, I was using it earlier to play virtual console games and was able to exit to the main menu back to Mii Maker. I'm sorry I can't be of more help -_-

I received a 1tb portable HDD on my birthday my freshman year of high school, 5 years ago. Mine is still going strong with good disk health according to SMART.
As for SD cards, as long as you get an okay SD card load times should be perfectly fine. The main concern should really be getting a reliable card and one that is a decent size in order to store backups. You can pick up a 32gb class 10 on amazon for about 10-12 USD. The only thing I've noticed is that some games just take a long time to load no matter what speed SD you have.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding and I apologize if its my fault but the directions mention if you want to change games or go back to the Wii U menu you just press home button like you normally would.

I launch mine through Homebrew Launcher and I am able to push home and go to the home menu after loading a game. From there I can go back to mii maker, which loads loadiinegx again, and then I can push home to return to the homebrew launcher. So for me it's worked perfectly fine with no freezing, meaning something is wrong with your setup. Try using the latest nightly build as that is what I am currently using and everything seems to work.

It suppose do what i would normally do in a retail game. Then you should go to the WiiU Menu and then to the Wii Maker app which will load Loadiine instead.

On the topic of what version you're running @RemixDeluxe , if it's not showing under settings (top right), means your version is lower than 1c4b32c, as the nightly version numbers was added then
I dont use the nightly builds, I've always stuck to the official stuff since the nightly sounded too risky. I'll try it and report back on how that goes.

I do want to reiterate I do launch Loadiine from my web browser if thats a factor in why the game freezes when I press home.

Loadiine nightly will NOT harm your Wii U ;)
There is no risk to use one nightly.

And if there is a problem, just go back to your previous version ;)

    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
