    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Initially I had issues with homebrew seeing this drive. I discovered this 1TB drive defaulted to using a GPT partition table instead of MBR. Deleting the default partitions and converting to MBR resolved that issue.

    Hacking Medal of Honor: Frontline (USA) Freezing with Memory Card in/Virtual Memory Card

    Today I noticed one of these Medal of Honor GameCube games did not like the in-game reset hotkey; it froze the game and I had to hold down the power button on the Wii to exit the game. Another time, a different Medal of Honor game resulted in a black screen after the IPL boot.

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    I use a curated nkit GameCube set on my GCLoader's 256GB sd card, so this would just be used for a curated set of Wii wbfs disc image files.

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Thanks! So you use this WD Elements 1TB model WDBUZG0010BBK-WESN, with a Y-cable to connect it to both USB ports to provide enough power?

    GDEMU and NBA Showtime

    I have NBA Showtime as well as every other US release on my real gdemu and the gdemu menu loads very fast. Is your dump from TOSEC?

    Hacking Gradius Rebirth not working on Neek2o

    I encountered the same issue with this game, even though the other ReBirth series games work fine with neek2o. However, I have found that if you install Gradius ReBirth to real nand, and then dump it to an emuNand, the game works fine from the emuNand.

    Hacking USB Loader GX game names

    When adding new entries to wiitdb.xml, should the offsets .bin file be removed so that it gets regenerated by USB Loader GX with offsets to the new entries? Is there any documentation of this binary file format?

    ROM Hack Question Collection of Mana, extracting Trials of Mana ROM from collection?

    Correct, sk2_g is a German PAL version (1.0), although its crc32=9499855e does not match the verified dump of the German Secret of Mana cart (crc32=b069bb3a). Here is what bsnes shows for sk2_g: game sha256: ce0d56a8a2d4433dca3387942a915e8a9287233fde04d08456eb80da5e67f66f label: sk2_g...

    ROM Hack Question Collection of Mana, extracting Trials of Mana ROM from collection?

    sk2_a does not seem to be PAL. It matches the nointro USA release of Secret of Mana. bsnes confirms this: game sha256: 4c15013131351e694e05f22e38bb1b3e4031dedac77ec75abecebe8520d82d5f label: Secret of Mana name: Secret of Mana region: SNS-K2-USA revision: SNS-K2-0 board...

    ROM Hack Question Collection of Mana, extracting Trials of Mana ROM from collection?

    Can you provide checksums for these? I've seen various sk3_a roms floating around with different md5 checksums (c9829d76e25f8c4bf459cf77a8306825 and 8e185927037ea44e047261b20b6826bf).
