Gaming d2x & Metroid Prime Trilogy?

[l3ullseye]

Well now I'm using 249 base 56 and 250 base 57 and apparently everything is OK, I haven't had any freezes since then.

I'm still using USB Loader GX, WiiFlow needs to have two partitions on my drive and I only have FAT32, so now that everything is working I dont think I'm going to re format my drive

and dont use d2x installer it is shit it installed the wrong base when i tried to use it. use modmii, go to ios downloads and tell the wiz to dload recommended files and install them with wad manager.

This is the way I did it and I ended up with 249 & 250 base 58 , so I had to select the files to install manually

Thanks for the help!!!

WiiFlow needs to have two partitions on my drive and I only have FAT32

Wait.. What? Last time I used WiiFlow it worked perfectly fine with my single fat32 partition.

This is from the Readme.txt

Installation of WiiFlow on Harddisk
-------------------------------------------
It is necessary to split your Harddisk into at least two partitions to install
WiiFlow on it. One is the WBFS-partition which contains all Wii-Games
and the other is a FAT16- or FAT32-partition and contains the WiiFlow-data.

I dont think this is true if you use an SD card, but because I dont use one I have to split my drive to use WiiFlow

 

[Lucif3r]

Eh that must be outdated. My USB Loaders are on my HDD, and WiiFlow works fine (just tried it again).

yeah, that must be when only WBFS was usable as a game's partition.
Now you can use FAT32/NTFS/ext234 in Wiiflow/cfg/gx (I suppose ext is working on all three).
I think only Neogamma requires a WBFS partition.

 

[l3ullseye]

Well then, I dont know why but when I put it in my FAT32 hard drive and no SD, it said that it didn't find a WBFS workable partition, and i had to selected, but it didn't let me, so I thought it was because I didn't have two partitions or an SD card.

you need an sd card for wiiflow to work this is where all the files/configs and data are kept.

Um... No...? All my config files are stored in usb:/wiiflow/
The only thing I got on my SD card for wiiflow is the normal boot.dol, icon.png and meta.xml.

What works for me without any freezings and a crashes is to directly load mp1, mp2 or mp3 without going to the menu.

What?

you don't need to block the IOS reload to play it, only to select the difficulty.
Then you can launch the game directly without launching the main menu, by selecting the alternate dol to launch (mp1, mp2 or mp3.dol)

I explained how to do it on page1.


Edit:
And like Lucif3r said bellow, you first need to create a save using the main game menu.

What?

Instead of booting the game with the normal .dol file, you launch the games directly by launching an alternative dol (I think they are simply called mp1.dol, mp2.dol and mp3.dol)
You still need to launch the main .dol at least once though, to create savegame etc.

Actually, I've got a bit of a strange issue - it works perfectly in USB Loader GX with d2x v7, all I had to do was tell it to block ios reload, and BAM, perfect. However, it refuses to work in Wiiflow! When I try to load any of the games, it freezes at the "Loading Metroid Prime #" part.

I followed the guide for installing d2x, so it's set up as the wiki suggests. Any ideas here?

Exactly!

Download the latest r417 (there have been several r417's so download it again to be sure - one of the other versions was broken for IOS reloading stuff)
All 3 of MPT work perfectly for me with cIOSx v7b1d, running off HDD configured as per Wiiflowiki.
