Hacking Another damn Metroid Prime Trilogy thread

[Crappage]

Alrighty, after doing some research, it's pretty clear people have trouble getting MP3 to load from MPT using USB loaders. I'm using the latest USB Loader GX (2.3) and also tried WiiFlow. MP1 and 2 load fine for me, but MP3 doesn't load at all. I've tried all the different settings people have suggested in the past; Use cIOS 222, 223, or 249, turn on Block IOS reload, use alternate .dols, etc. No luck.

So my biggest question is... Is it a bad rip? I'm using a wbfs file from TPB, which is NTSC and 7.43 GB in size. Even the uploader says he never got MP3 to load. Can anyone who has downloaded this particular iso confirm that it does or does not work? Another big question, is my Wii too old? I know it's well over 4 years old or so. It's updated to 4.3U, and I just recently re-hacked it with ModMii to make sure everything is up to date.

If there's any other info you guys need to help, let me know. Thanks in advance.

It could be your HDD problem, you know ?
I have an old, 1.5 TB WD HDD and it works flawlessly with everything I trow at it, including MPT.
However on my second HDD, a 500GB Toshiba USB 2.0/3.0, not only the loader has toruble detecting the drive all the time, but the very same version of MPT that works on the WD drive , doesn't work past the main dol.
So what drive are you using if I may ask ?

It's an Acomdata 320GB. Not sure of the model as I don't have it with me right now.

I just tried someone else's hard drive (a 1TB Toshiba) and got the same problem. So unless I'm unlucky with picking drives, I guess it IS a bad rip...

Sounds like a bad rip to me. If i remember right I ripped my copy myself before, and again after the whole, "ripping with cios rev misses bytes off the end of dual layer rips" or something like that and the last time I ripped it it worked flawlessly. Before that I couldnt load MP3 in the triology.

I had same problem - the iso might have been scrubbed.
This game is sensitive (MP3 especially). You need 1:1 copy to work.
What I did is modify the iso and deleted mp3 and replaced its dol by main.dol and had MP3 standalone version (using wiiscrubber).
Try to re-rip if it fails get MP1&2 on 1 DVD and MP3 standalone game (not from the MP3 ISO) on another
Good luck

Try ripping your MPT with i think its was cIOS rev 14 back then that worked or even d2x v8/beta9 which should have the DL fix while ripping

No. When you rip you should use cleanrip which does not rely on the IOS at all. There is a reason cleanrip is the gold standard for scene releases.

But it also doesn't even work for some people (motor off bug), it's slower, and it doesn't scrub the file.
