So yea, got my hands on a copy.
WBFS is trying to call the game down to 0.06GBs.
What should I do?

I would say you got a fake or messed up img. WBFS Manager over here states 6.33 gb after sending to drive. And the second to mention is, that the line under Xenoblade Chronicles is totally messed up it should say the game id not this ugly symbols.

Edit: and i forgot to say in the upper right corner it should say PAL instead of RF.

Ok, so I've been trying to get this game to work from the SD card. I have a WiiKey Fusion, and my Wii is softmodded, so a few ways to go about it. Shame none of them work.


If I try via the WiiKey Fusion's SD card reader, I load the ISO onto the SD card with WBFS, the game shows up in the disc channel. It starts, the screen telling you to use the Wiimote strap come on, it fades to black.... and nothing happens.

If I try with an SD card loaded, NeoGamma R9 beta50, I can mount the game, it shows up 'XenoBlade Chronicles' then when I try to start it, I get 'Connection to WBFS Lost'

Pretty sure the ISO is legit, shows up as 6.31gb in size when its mounted on the card with WBFS.

If I put another game on the SD Card (NSMBW) and load it via the WiiKey Fusdion's SD card reader, it loads straight away and is 100% stable, as does every other game I've tried.


Anyone know what stops Xenoblade running from the SD Card?

Many thanks.

Try unpacking the ISO with winrar. My 7.92GB iso did exactly the same being a bitch and when I tried unpacking atleast it loads fine into WBFS (it's reading it out as we speak as it's now a RAR).

I'll update this post if it worked.

edit:
After the reading, it came up as the correct ISO file (6,33GB) and unscrambled text. I'm not sure yet if it boots, but atleast it works now. Will report back later.

edit2:
Iso boots up fine from USBLoaderGX. =D Try if it works, I'll be off playing Xenoblade

thanks man.

updating to rev 17 won't lose any game compatibility right? i've heard cases where people who have updated to newer revisions lose the ability to play some games that worked on older ones

Didn't work when I originally burnt it to a DL disc and used neogamma.. said bad burn, so the fault was probably with the layer break or my burner.

Works fine loading from USB Loader GX.

As much as this game was hyped, I'm REALLY not getting into it. Muddy graphics, awful voice acting, complicated controls, battle system and UI..

I'm going to push it out a bit longer.. but as of now I'm a bit skeptical

LOL, go play COD then!

Seriously, the story in this game is VERY strong.

Stomach still turn because of Fiora....I really liked that girl.....

BTW Wich controls to you find compilcated? It plays like a dream.
If you referring to combat, you don't have to bash buttons. It's auto combat when you are in range of the enemy.
You just use your arts to to play the battle tactically. It's the strong point of the game IMHO. It gets very addictive.
Take a look at the in game tuts again. and use a Classic controller.

Give it some time, grind some enemy's and level up. The combat is VERY deep, so is the story.

Are you sure you downloaded Xenoblade Chronicles and not some sub RPG that was renamed for the download? Complicated controls? You have no fingers or hands or something? No way are they complicated...voice acting a matter of taste and battle system is the finest of any turn based RPG for a very very long time. Graphically its extremely good for a Wii title.

Seriously, kids of these days and their FPS' with the other sh1t...

This game is PURE gold! First Wii game ever that I've actually bought since Monster Hunter Tri!

For Wii, graphics are wonderful and gameplay is awesome. I would not change these English voices for anything (Fiora's voice is pretty sexy) and normally I can't stand Brittish English (no offence). Only time when I used Japanese voices was when I showed the game to my bro and he wanted hear them. Even HE said that he prefer English voices better.

Shitty graphics? Don't play it with scart in 70" HDTV with your noses in the screen, Wii is using only 420p video output in max with component cable. Shitty gameplay because you don't shoot anything? This is a RPG for God's sake (I can see why NoA don't bring these games to America)! And actually one character is using a gun, so you can shoot a thing or two. Shitty English voice actors and you will use only Japanese voice track? Try say it once more when you have listening Japanese voices 10+ years like me, I bet you have got enough with them by then. These English voices are kicking some serious UNDUB asses.

Best RPG ever? Me, my bro and couple of our friends are saying so!

The "iso" is encrypted, Winrar can't open it. you need the keys to open it with Trucha or Wiiscrubber.


I love this game, I'm already more than 30H into it in two days! I feel like 15 years ago when I played console all days long.
And I like graphics and controls (they are REALLY easy, I don't understand how people find it hard to battle. select the command, place yourself at the back or side of the enemy, push button, win
biggrin.gif
). I'm switching back and forth Japanese and English, I don't understand all spoken english (with UK accent?) so one or the other is the same for non native english speaker...

I only regret few things from the menus :
No quests log (like listing the one you lost, or knowing the one you never found, knowing how much you have left to do etc. something like the trophies listing would have been great)
No PNJ list (you have to find the PNJ in the relationship cart to know the available time range. Sometime you need to check them all)
No possibility to mark areas on the full map (like placing an exclamation mark on quests place. But that's fine, I just need to remember it myself and don't stop playing for few months...)
I've read the real-time-clock is blocked at 99:59 (which is too bad, because I think I'll play more than 100H. Don't include it at all if you don't care counting).

Do you need to add the layer break while burning this or is auto fine?
also I see a NTSC fix floating around is this actually needed? I still can't understand all the bad burn errors I'm getting

Just saying it worked wonders for me. As to me it was probably a case of renaming a RAR file to ISO file which contained a RAR and then the ISO file that caused WBFS to freak out. If you downloaded the 7.92GB version and you have issue with getting it to work on WBFS manager you should try unpacking it and try again.

Anyway, I have been playing it for a couple of hours but I'm not that impressed by the game. IMO the whole open world setting is too much for the Wii to handle, everything looks blurred and pixelated (textures are fugly). Though I do admit, the story is very awesome. This should be remade for the Wii U if you ask me. The graphics are stopping me from getting into the game.

So far I'd say it's a 7.
