I hate to make a thread about this, because I have great compatibility with all the problematic games, and I consider myself an experienced softmodder. However, I can't figure out why these games don't work, when others have confirmed them working. My Wii is 4.1u (waninkoko), cIOS_rev14, and I've tried with USB Loader GX rev723, Configurable USB Loader, and WiiFlow 1.0.

Ghostbusters:

I'm truly sick of the numerous threads about this game, and I've even read all the old topics again with no success. Please understand that when I was using cIOS_rev10 with 4.0u system menu, this game worked on the first try. I played quite a bit, and still have the save file on my Wii. Now that I've updated to 4.1u and cIOS_rev14, the game freezes at the wiimote/safety screen. I've tried setting the 002 Fix to ON, and Block IOS Reload to ON, launching with nunchuck already plugged in/not plugged in, but can't get the game to launch anymore. Can somebody with my setup confirm, or help me with the settings to get this game working again?

Opoona:

I doubt many members even have this game on their drive, but the compatibility wiki shows that this game works with USB loaders. The game launches fine, I can navigate the menu, and I can start a new game. However, once the opening cinematic finishes, the game goes to black screen and stays there. Strangely, the wiimote stays connected, but nothing happens, and I have to hard reset. I've tried 3 different USB loaders, multiple settings, and even a DVD-R backup in NeoGamma, but the bug occurrs every time. If you're using cIOS_rev14, and can get this game to load, please tell me your settings and configuration.

Soul Calibur: Legends:

This bug is the same as Opoona. The compatibility wiki shows this game as working, but it doesn't work for me. The game launches fine. It shows the Bandai/Namco splash screen, then the Soul Team splash screen, and then it hangs on a black screen forever. Strangely, the wiimote stays connected and active, but nothing happens from here on out.

Any help would be appreciated by those using 4.1 system menus, cIOS_rev14, and USB loaders. I have all current IOS, and can get other problematic games, alt .dol games, and other-region games to play just fine. These are the only three games, other than Call of Duty 3 and Sam & Max that I can't get to load. Thanks.

 

My Ghostbusters ISO is fine, because I once used it to play the game with no problems. The only thing that changed was my system menu, and my cIOS revision, and now the same game doesn't work. As for the other two games, you could be right, but I would really like someone else to confirm as a FACT, that these games work fine on 4.1u and cIOS_rev14, and that my ISOs are bad dumps. Thanks for your response xzxero, your contributions are always appreciated

 

Yeah, I don't know what to say...Ghostbusters has never failed to work for me on ANY cIOS revision I've used it with.

 

I took your advice, deleted all Configurable USB loader files/folders, and did a fresh install. I tried Ghostbusters and Soul Calibur: Legends, but get the same freezes. While I cannot vouch that Soul Calibur and Opoona are not bad dumps, I can confirm that Ghostbusters once worked perfectly for me, since I played through a portion of this game before.

Again, Ghostbusters launches to the white wiimote/safety screen, but the wiimote disconnects completely, and nothing happens. This is using default settings, like 002 Fix = On, and whatnot. Indiana Jones, another problematic game that released around the same time as Ghostbuster, works just fine.

I'll be damned if there isn't something very uncommon, or rare, with my Wii setup. I always seem to be amongst a very, very small group of people who share the same problems/bugs with different games and loaders. I'm never alone, but finding someone else with my errors always seems to be far and few between.

 

I will take your advice, and maybe tomorrow I will try installing 222 and 223. I already installed Herme's 202 (ios36 default), and homebrew works great on my FAT32 partition. All my ios are trucha signed, as I upgraded from a fully trucha-enabled 3.2U. My Wii is older, and I've been softmodding it since the Twilight Hack first released. The Waninkoko safe updater left my trucha-signed ios fully intact. Keep in mind, if my ios were corrupt, I would not be able to play most of the problematic games that work fine for me. Again, Ghostbusters worked on cIOS_rev10, so I think I'm going to try reinstalling it, just to see if these games work again (although I plan on staying with rev14). Thanks for the input.

 

he says he tries to laucnh them from usbloaders , so original IOS have nothing to do with this , only the cIOS is used to launch games with usbloaders

 

This is exactly what happened to me. I couldn't get Ghostbusters and Punch Out to work (friend said he got it them from the retail version), here are my specs softmodded 4.1E, bannerbomb, Nintendo updated, trb and all i had to do to make this damn games to work was to download them, they worked on the first try, perfectly, so you could try to redownload them again. Hell i'll say most of the time if a game don't work try to redownload from a different source, if that don't work there's something missing in your wii.

 

i have a similar setup to you only difference is my system is PAL

Ghostbusters and using wiiflow 1.0 this loads on default settings for me , only thing i had was the black screen bug , so i set it to 249 and it loaded , then out of curiosity i rebooted the wii and set it back to default and ofcourse it loaded !


if its any conciliation i cant get HOTD : overkill to load at all lol

 

When you WBFS transfer, the game is scrubbed....all games are. This is the release to get:
