Hacking Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

herudae · Jul 20, 2010

Hello I have a 4.2U, Wiiflow 2.1, Wanin's Cios249 v19 IOS38, Hermes's CIOS202, 222, & 224 v5 & CIOS223 v4 37 merged 38, i've turned off everything in game config except 002 patch and Disable DVD Patch, i hev no wip, i have no cheats and i can't make work, what am i doing wrong?

Well, my Wii is a Soft-modded LU64+ and I used uLoader and it works nicely. No crashes, no black screens, not any of that stuff. I just installed cIOS249 rev19 & cIOS33 using base 37 and it ended all my problems. I will like to use USB Loader GX instead because I'm used to it and my games are more organized and everything so I will try to do different configurations to see what happens. So far I pass the first part of the game, killed few monsters and loving the cut scenes they look awesome. I really love PoP games they are just so fun and awesome.

PS:
I'm using a NTSC Wii with a ("Region Free") PoP-FS( It says PAL in GX). Hermes 222, uLoader 5.1D with no configuration at all just as it was. It freezes after the titles when using GX and in neogamma I do not get any kind of response.

EDIT:
Now I was testing USB Loader GX r938 and I found that using Hermes 222, 002 Fix - Anti and cIOS33 base 37 Installed were the great combination that made this game work on my LU64+. Tested and working real nice now. BTW using uLoader was good but after few battles it frezzes while killing enemies, not sure whats the problem but I got over it.

Same here, I made a post where I mentioned the same thing, it gets stuck on a black screen. I think the game has an AP that does not allow to start, in CFG USB Loader they fixed it and works perfectly

I have a different error, the game freezes after the introduction in the hallway after collecting the second dinn orb, the section with the wall run jumps tutorial

I modded my wii according to wii.guide and any other game work perfectly

I had no idea this game even had issues running on loaders but here are more than 500 replies to this thread. I never ended up beating this game but I put a few hours into it and never ran into any issues. Played it in usbloader gx r1260.

So I had the familiar old issue with this game on a recent version of Wiiflow Lite: black screen on boot, almost certainly caused by the game's "anti patching" protection as @Cyan aptly put it. https://gbatemp.net/threads/usb-loader-gx.149922/page-1050#post-5816314

His same advice applies to fix this issue: disable all patches in Wiiflow's game settings for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. The reason this problem cropped up is because there's a relatively new patch that needs to be disabled: the 480p pixel patch implementation in Wiiflow Lite (5.4.8) is not compatible with Forgotten Sands.

Maybe this is a similar issue to Kirby's Adventure Wii, and can be resolved with a gameconfig file to POKE the right addresses.

Thanks for the advice, I will try it soon
