hi there, will this work with the rev1 version of the usa/ntsc game? thanks.

edit: it does, it includes the riivoloution files for all versions. i personally will use wit tools to patch this into the extract iso itself.

 

[EmanueleBGN]

Amazing! And there are Zelda items and characters!

 

[grandosegood]

hey there, i encountered an error when attempting to patch the iso with wimm's wit tools, presumably because it is trying to do something with loader.bin

any tips on making this into an iso? thanks.

 

[JuanMena]

Any way to replace the gof awful and barely different OST for the OG GameCube Animal Crossing OST!?

it wouldnt be easy because all the music on the game is in a midi like format which is stored in its own archive

if you guys used the 'nintendo selects' cut of the game that would likely be the reason. in the meantime i got a non-'selects' copy which does the job.

in a future update it'll probably be fixed.

For those of you who still have problems getting this mod to run just use riivolution to iso builder:

https://github.com/Asu-chan/RiivolutionIsoBuilder

ps. you don't need the classic controller hack, because it's already integrated if you chose "yes" when asked in the iso building process. And make sure you are using the same region and rev version of your game (look both up on dolphin first).

I have tested it on my wii u as an inject. Working fine. Thanks for the mod team

For those of you who still have problems getting this mod to run just use riivolution to iso builder:

hello, I tried this and I got a black screen and had to shut off the wii. Do you how to solve this

 

[Technician]

How did you install the iso to your wii?

 

[Nuguns]

How did you install the iso to your wii?

I used wii backup manager and converted it to wbfs. I am also worried I might have screwed somthing up my wii just now. None of my wii motes connect to the wii at all anymore. I can start priiloader tho with the wii power reset button thats about it

 

[Technician]

Was your iso running correctly under dolphin after you patched it? Have you tried to hard reset the wii by unplugging?

Was your iso running correctly under dolphin after you patched it? Have you tried to hard reset the wii by unplugging?

I didnt test it I got too ecited to try the game on wii. I have dolphin. AND OH I solved the wii mote thing. Something screwed up when I launched it and black screen, then I tried another unmodded game and it froze on the wii mote safety screen and I reset again thenn the wiimote issue happened across all my motes. ALL I DID was re sync the remote and I have use again.

Now then. Perhaps something is wrong with my cios? I read a little about these problems when theres a cios issue.

I will return to test on dolphin

*ok I just tried the iso on dolphin and It did the same thing, blackscreen; and dolphin struggled to close after a couple errors. Ive never done this before and Ive struggled a lot modding my wii. Could u pls help me try to get thru this

Im familiar with the modding process btw, It stresses me out after too long of trying and failing in a few regards

 

[Technician]

iirc it must be cios251 under usb loader gx. Just look at the settings of usb loader. What does it say there?

What couldve happened to make the ISO modded rebuild fail to launch. My method started with an already wiiBM process wbfs, then to iso by the builder, then back to wbfs
