So is this game confirmed working? I havent burned it yet so I dont want to waste a DL disk for nothing. Do I have to put in a layer break or do I just pop it in and play it? I have firmware 4.0 soft modded WITH a mod chip
Any DL disc needs a layer break.

I dont really understand. I downloaded a dump of this game 2 days ago and it works fine. I was almost 8GB and i put it right on my Wiiflow and have been playing since. If a good version didnt come out until today then how was I able to play?
It was nuked. To count as a proper scene release, the release must be a 100% 1:1 copy of the game. That version had the update partition removed, so it couldn't be a scene release.

huh I am playing a dump that is 7.92GB and it is working fine

Any DL disc needs a layer break.

For this game its layer break 2084960 right? So is the proper release version works without any issues because Im reading about how some parts of the game are not working so I wasnt sure if I should go ahead and burn it..Is there any IOS files that I need..

Yes, but the ISO must be 100% unmodified to be a scene release. That ISO had the update removed, making it no longer a scene release. Just because a game gets nuked doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Upgrade to cIOS rev20? I don't know if that will make a difference, since it already works for me. It's still worth a shot.

...So I burn this game, right, and put the disc in the Wii. The Wii then proceeds to cough for a bit and doesn't recognize the disc at all.
Now the Wii doesn't read discs at all anymore. What the fuck just happened?

I have Wii 4.3E
cIOS Rev20b (defaults installation)
Neogamma 8
USB Loader GX
Configurable USB Loader

Using PROPER Metroid: Other M dump (& tried deleting update partition) but cannot get past the freeze during the babys cry cutscene.
Tried installing Hermes v5 but it keeps failing with some bad hash error

Any help?

I found the answer to the bad hash Hermes issue... use DOP-MII to uninstall IOS249 and reinstall cIOS Rev 17

That fixes that issue, but I'm still hosed because I burned with the Update Partition there.

And for the person with the inability to read any discs anymore... hard power down the Wii by pulling the power and restart... do not put the Metroid Other M disc in cause it will fail.

Its hearing stuff like this that makes me scared to burn this game and try to play it. Did you get your Wii working??

I dont get it.. Its 4.7GB but when i descompress it will become the 8.5GB iso?
Yes, its called "compression" for a reason.
Duh i know.. but its kinda hard to belive that there's 4GB compressed o.o


Trying to download this... I hope i can use my 8GB pendrive

I have a sorta noobie question...

If I use WiiScrubber to scrub this and it happens to be under 4.7GB compressed, could I put this on a single layer disc?
