    ROM Hack [Release] Rune Factory 4 Save Editor

    Thank you for the editor! It should make investigating game mechanics and strategies much easier. That said, do you have any insight on how the XP system works for skills? It's not currently editable, but it must be captured in the save file somewhere. I can try to do some digging myself, but...

    Wii #1256 - Rune Factory Frontier (USA)

    From what I've heard, the game will run into DREs every so often when using the backup loader. It looks to be completely playable, aside from a few specific things, and then the rest of the freezes hit randomly, but not often. Freeze spots that I've heard: -Any time you find a new book on the...

    Hardware Disc reading problems...

    I definitely used the release mechanism on all available connections when removing/reinserting the ribbon cables, so no worries there. First drive failed while playing an original Brawl disc, no prior warning. Just gave a disc read error, and then subsequent attempts wouldn't get it spinning...

    Hardware Disc reading problems...

    I'm already beyond that. I switched the original board to the new drive, and the other board is likely beyond repair now. The new symptoms and such are listed in post 6.

    Hardware Disc reading problems...

    1. "Failing motor" was simply my conclusion from lack of other replies in a separate thread. Simply, the discs started to either not spin or spin very slowly. It otherwise worked perfectly for many months in that configuration without problems. 2. It was a quicksolder mod that was originally on...

    Hardware Disc reading problems...

    Final update: -I switched out the circuitry between my two drives, such that they shoud form a "whole drive" and leave the other respectively bad parts elsewhere. First attempt, everything appeared to work, but the Wii games could still not be read, and gave the errors. Second attempt, and the...

    Hardware Disc reading problems...

    Some new symptoms to report... - The wii can read gamecube discs fine. Tried a variety of them, and they all appear to work fine and for extended periods of time. -Different Wii games get to different parts of the loading process. Red Steel loaded all the way to the main in-game menu, before...

    Hardware Disc reading problems...

    I've switched the drive out several times now, being very careful about connecting everything each time. I doubt it has to do with loose connections, unless there's damage to the actual cables.

    Hardware Disc reading problems...

    Hello all, I ordered a fresh DMS-GC2 drive to replace my original drive that had a failing motor. Switched it out, popped it in. The games load fine at the wii channel screen, but when you try to enter the game, disc read error messages pop up. The disc spins, and it sounds like the laser...

    Hardware Wii motor failure?

    I don't suppose you know of any reliable sources for purchasing a replacement drive? Unless that topic is taboo, of course.

    Hardware Wii motor failure?

    I don't usually try to bump things, but this is a time-sensitive issue for me. If anyone can tell for sure if the symptoms indicate a specific problem, please let me know.

    Hardware Wii motor failure?

    Just a few days ago, my Wii stopped reading discs mid-use, and has since had much difficulty reading anything. I originally thought the laser was either smudged or broken, so I opened it up to attempt a cleaning. Turns out the laser was fine. When a disc is inserted, it will go into position...

    The DL rip software is being tested. Should be a while before any new news.
