Hacking Freezing Issue: Kirby Wii - Return to Dreamland USB GX

[KesanGun]

I'm on 4.3u, d2x cIOS v10 beta r52 (not the one for vWII, I have an original Wii console) and trying to play my backup of this game. The opening screen works, and I'm usually able to enter the first level, though the load times seem odd. However, I have yet to complete the first level without an odd freezing issue occurring: The game continues animating and the enemies continue moving, but the music usually stops and the controller won't register any input, not even to go back to the home screen. Also, the console will not shut off normally and the button must be held down for a few seconds to turn it off.

Note: This is the first backup I've made, and I plan to use it as a test case to figure out how to run the rest of my backups.

Edit: I'm running it off a 1TB hard drive formatted to NTFS, using Wii Backup Manager to move it to the hard drive.

Here are my Syscheck results:

save the following as gameconfig.txt and put it on the root of your SD Card.

I'm having the exact same issue as you, and I'm testing it out both on kirby and mariocart with the issue persisting in both games. I've created my own topic about this issue as well.

LWares, I saved the textfile and renamed as instructed, but there was no change with the issue.

Thanks for the cfg file, I'll look into that. I also get intermittent, maybe every 20-45 minutes, freezing in Trauma Team, and played Xenoblade Chronicles for 2 hours without a freeze. It's pretty odd; I have everything loaded on a Seagate Free Agent hard drive and a 2 gig SD card. The fact that I got one technically-intensive game working is motivating, so I wonder if I just need to figure out the right settings for the others. I've never seen the Wii freeze when not loading a backup game.

I've made some headway about this problem, check my post out. Still can't explain why the HDD isn't working though, but the fact the we are both using the exact same HDD and having the exact same problem is very fishy.
