Hacking Captain Toad - Crash at startup

[Menacer]

Hi,

i have a 5.5.1 Japanese WiiU and use the browser exploit.
I installed many games and all worked fine so far. For some (e.g. NES remix pack) I had to change region with spiik.
Now Captain Toad is the first game that gives me problems. I installed both the EUR and the US Version.
I changed to the correct language and region with spiik. Still the game won't boot up and crashes at the splash screen.
I'm sure I have a correct dump since it matches the redump.org image.

anyone have any advice on how to proceed?

What are you talking about? I visited this site and I don't see anything about Wii U Discs or anything about Captain Toad

Current gen dat files are not public. But they exist for WiiU, PS3, PS4, XO...

Did you try to start the game with Mocha CFW instead of changing the region?

Sure
HBC->Mocha->(spiik)->Start game

I also tried with default region, meaning not using spiik at all.

Mine worked just fine USA Wii U did you get it from USB Helper?

You can’t run Captain toad US on JP console. Even with spiik it will 100% freeze upon start up.

Sad, do you know this from personal experience?
I'd be interested to know about the technical reasons behind it.

Also, do you know if there are more game like this?

Yes, I knew it from my experiences. Most of people here use US WiiU and play region matched titles so, they most likely not ran into these issues.

The reason is some of the games still know which region of your console is even with spiik and it try to load on Jp folder which contains nothing in US version. This is why the game freezed on start up.

There are more games like this. I have found more than 10+ so far.

Fixing this issue is different on each game. Basicly, you need the EN files from US Region game and copy it to the JP folder.

I manage to get Super Mario 3D world US on JP WiiU to work with this method

Thanks, I got it working. You just copy the EUen folder and rename it JPja.

Is it possible to have a list of the games working with this trick? It would be really helpful

I'm sorry if I reopened an older post
