How old is your wii?
Can you check with Anytitle Deleter after you got it working again too see how it looks and maybe take photos.

Then when (hopefully not) stops working. Go to Anytitle Deleter again and check if something have changed.

EDIT: Becareful not to delete anything!

1,5 year. Not too old. I have 2 Wiis BTW, one far away from another. This one doesn't read any discs/laser broken/, so it should explain why I want USB loader working there, eh?

I wonder if its your hard drive.

Shouldn't just stop working suddenly.
I already tried it on my second wii and it worked perfectly.

QUOTECios rev 9 is the best.
I tried with 4 revisions already and I don't think it's an cIOS issue, really

Lol, well then I have no clue. never seen a case like this before.

only thing I can think of is its the wii hardware itself (maybe your usb ports are malfunctioning?)
Well, uh, OK, but why then, when I reinstall all the IOSs it works again?

And I still have one game which works even if others don't - Punch out.

Hi, if I understood right I think you have the same problem as I have.... I was on cios9 and after 10 and the problem is the same...

I have only one game that works perfct too "Excite Bots", but I can play any other games that works to every one... I just load teh Excite bots and play one or two races then I go to the wiimenu without turn off the wii, then I try to load another game and works perfectly... if I turn off the wii I have to do this again if I want to play another game.... it is so strange to me but I thing this is my destiny cause my wii drive is brocken

Seriously, I have no clue, that is one odd problem. Why on earth would that 1 game work?

If I think of something, I'll let you know, but that is one odd problem.

I hope you get it sorted.

Oh and just to be sure nobody asks - I tried Bootmii recovery, and it worked, but again -only for a while.

It has a right to do so, the laser-broken problem is kinda my fault.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for suggesting this but you might want to try running a system update via Nintendo to make sure all of the proper IOS are installed and then running IOS downgrader. I had an issue in the past where only a couple of my backups would play while others just simply stopped working. I did the above and it fixed the problem. Please don't blame me if you lose any homebrew functionality though as I don't know what all you have on your system, ie...preloader, cIOSCORP, etc...

Good Luck...

I got to 4.0 by normal Nintendo upgrade. So, no-go.

Tried diffrent USB Loaders?

I myself use USB Loader GX and Wiiflow USB Loader, maybe that causes the problem?
Also can you try this, backup your harddrive. Then format that litttle ***** and make a WBFS partition again and try one of the games that do not work.

If you have downgraded your IOS then you should be able to run the Wii System update regardless if you are already on 4.0 or not.

Tried that already. This was the first thing I tried. And I know it's not the drive.

Well, I guess I can try that...

EDIT: Didn't do anything.

If you power off your Wii, give it a sec and power it back on, will one of the other games (other than PunchOut) work again?

You say that PunchOut works, is it the first game you try after turning on your Wii?

I've heard something about IOS249 causing problems with games loading, something with a game forced restart or something. This is probably nothing related to you, but maybe it will spark other ideas.

Have the other games ever fully worked? Maybe they are junk images or maybe they didn't fully copy to your WBFS correctly. Delete and recopy the games that do not work, or format the WBFS and start over there.

Other thing that you COULD do, but it would be a pain in the ass... Restore your Wii back to an 'original' state and then start fresh. (I dont know a ton, but I think NandClean or something like that will re-virginize your wii) Update to 4.0 -> bannerbomb -> hbc -> cios/dvdx/bootmii -> hd backup loder.


Good luck, hope you get it all figured out.

Man...I guess you're SOL. Aside from reinstalling your system menu, formatting, and starting from scratch. This is a pretty unique problem.

No.

No, I try games at random.

As I said few times already, I tried them on other Wii and they worked perfectly. Also, after I reinstall all IOSes they also work. And, I already tried formatting.

If I'm desperate (which I'll be tommorow) I'll do that

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
