Sonic Colours won't boot with USB Loader GX

[fazectgp_yt]

I can't boot Sonic Colours. Right before the intro is about to play it crashes. Do I need d2 v8 final?
Active CIOS: 202, 222, 223, 224, 236, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 250, 251

Hi I got my info. Any advice?

Syscheck looks good, though you're using beta52: Colours doesn't like usb port1, check your drive is in usb port2, it's one of the very few games that won't run otherwise.

Failing that, could be a bad dump, also you're trying Sonic Colours (so PAL, rather than NTSC 'Colors') - have you set the region to one of the pal variants in usbloadergx?

It says here https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/USB_Game_Compatibility_Table#S that it works with GX v2.3 & d2x-v8 should I change to this? and what will become of my other games too?

Did you get it working?

Your SysCheck is very similar to my setup other than you are PAL and you are using PAL Sonic Colours (i am NTSC using NTSC Sonic Colors).

here it works no problem
the difference from your sysCheck
I have the cIOS 250 on base 57
cIOS 249 on base 56
Sonic Colours [SNCP8P] = 3,67gb

 

[RunningSnakes]

So it should also be working correctly on cIOS 249 [base 57]. @matto21 thank you for confirming.

on loader setting I set it to
IOS loaders = 249
games IOS = 250
if you have 249 on base 57 and 250 on base 56 try to set
IOS loaders = 250
games IOS = 249

There must be a region difference for this game. Using NTSC with cIOS 249 [base 57] Sonic Colors works correctly without issues.

Sorry.^^^^^^^^.Double Post.

Phone is about to go in the garbage.

you got 249 on base 57
I have 250 on base 57
so i think it's just the cIOS setting you want to use because some games run on base 57

it can be iso corrupted
sure the iso is pal and not ntsc

My last resort could be to convert my PAL save to NTSC-U with an american iso instead

 

[fazectgp_yt]

Well NTSC-U Works! So now all I have to do is covert my pal save. Thanks!

 

[fazectgp_yt]

And so, I got my PAL save file & an NTSC-U Release working on my Wii. Case closed! Thanks again!
