Hi,

I am trying to play NSMB and have wiikey v1.99.

I have a patched scrubbed version of NSMB if that matters.

I tried Disc Channel it fails even after installing IOS53 and IOS55. I have a Wiikey v1 and Wii 3.2U.

I tried Gecko OS(seemed like a popular choice) and it constantly freezes after applying Codes adn the 'loading title..' appears. The game does not start at all and GeckoOS doesn't load the game (I think its freezing).

What is wrong with Gecko OS in this case?

I have HBC installed with Boot2 as well. All latest versions. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

i am loading by dvd through geckoOS.

I heard Uloader is a soft mod so I'm gonna need a few IOS's.

did you just install uloader 5.1 using wad installer or wad manager and run it from the wii channels selection.

hi, Uloader is both

when it loads up it starts in usb mode, but it gives you the option to press 2 for dvd mode.

i have the Uloader 5.1 in apps on my sd card, so you can run it from the homebrew channel fine, but i installed the dvd forwarder wad so it forwards to the program from the wii menu.

i used to use gecko but it wouldnt load a few games so i found out about Uloader and it seems to play everything.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
