I have a 50" LG plasma tv and all of my other Pal games play just fine on my ntsc wii, but scrabble (Pal) will not play, i have triple checked my settings and nothing is working. anyone else having this issue or know a fix? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

these are my settings for scrabble PAL.

force NTSC
enable 002 fix

anyway its not a good game though compared to PSP's EA SCRABBLE. try FAMILY FEUD 2010, its the one im playing now.

thanks for the tips, it might be a bad backup. i will retry it later. but thanks for the heads up on that FAMILY FEUD 2010. i will for sure try that out!

Ok. If you want the new Ocarina engine, i recommend copying it from NeoGamma. It's scattered over 3-4 functions in Gecko OS. You only need to take care that you load the code handler first and then Ocarina, as both are overlapping in memory. Then patch the .dol, because it does stuff to 0x1800, it either needs the code handler there, or writes something there, i forgot. Also the .dol has to be in the right place and not in a buffer when you patch it.
Thanks a lot!
I'm certain it will be much easier copying it from you!
(Not sure when I'm gonna do that though)

That would be a very good news for Brawl+ Players.

hey guys,
your loader is great!
I use it with unsiversal forwarder to load everything from HDD
smile.gif


but now, I habe a problem:
yesterday I updated my CFG to version 44, shortly after them, everything was normal, than i switched off my wii and tunred on, short time later, but the wii doesn´t started... I had to read "your systemfiles are corrupted..." after a restart, everything was okay! i have read the error 8-10 times now and i think it comes always after playing "M&S at the olimpic winter games".
what can I do to solve this problem?

my system:
Fw: 4.1, cIOS 249 rev 14, no cIOS corp

thank you for helping!

greetings OBI

It does not only require the new Ocarina engine, it also requires that .txt parsing code. And nobody started yet to copy that into an usb loader.

Thats really strange. So you say that it corrupts the sys menu after playing that game?
Can you re-install it?

is this the patch file? or does it require a txt and a patch file or what? i haven't really looked at the new gecko stuff too much.

In that .txt file it's specified that where to put the Ocarina codes(as the Brawl+ codes are too big for the area 0x1800-0x3000) and specifies some memory values.

Hey guys,

I have a problem: I can't get the mic to work with my games. I HAVE Hermes 222 installed, merged etc to be compatible with Guitar Hero 5. I have 222 selected to use as the default IOS (except for GH5, that has 223 selected, but the mic doesn't work with ANY game). Any help please? I don't think I have the latest 222 installed, but ANY should work, right?

I also get freezes occasionally while playing Rock Band- the game freezes for 5 seconds but then continues. I thought that was supposed to be fixed with 222 as well.

Thanks!!


I used to get those 5 second freezes with v2 of Hermes cIOS. He is on v4 now, and that version does not exhibit and freeze ups for me.
It worked! Thanks!

I have an idea. Could you add a feature where it makes a ding noise or something when a game is finished being copied over.

Use the music option and it will mute during the install. So that way, your music starting again is your 'ding'. If a visual clue is enough, the disc slot light will also turn on when the install is finished.

Hmm didn't know about the music option. Well ya know you can't always sit in front of your wii while a game is copying over.

Regarding the Ocarina codes, there's currently a workaround that uses only a few codes in the primary GCT file, and then loads a separate GCT file from there. I use it for Balanced Brawl, it's the only way to get it working in most USB loaders at this point, I suspect it also works with Brawl+.

  • 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:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
