Hey guys.

I've been having issues loading a specific gamecube game, and I have done tons of searching on google to no end.

This site seems to have a lot of knowledgeable and helpful users, so I thought I would ask here.

I am trying to play Eternal Darkness, yet I keep getting an error when I start the game.

It loads fine, but when the Poe quote appears on the screen (about 4 seconds in or so) the game freezes and says

"An error has occurred. Please turn the power off and check the Nintendo Gamecube instruction manual." or something like that.

Wiigator is also saying:

"Failed to read dvd 263
Error 0x53100 ready"

Not sure what that means, because the game still loads.

I am using DVD-Rs (good quality)
I always burn at x1 speed, and have tried multiple burns/different disk brands
I have tried NTSC version of the game and the PAL version, both get the error in the same spot

I am running a 4.2E softmod with all the old IOSs intact (All my other GC backups and Wii backups work)
I am using wiigators gcbackuploader (0.2) as well as neogamma r7 (rev 14)
I have also updated to cMIOS v10 that was released recently (Although I tried to run the game with the older/official version of this and got the same error)

Any help/advice would be awesome!

Thanks in advance

has anyone else gotten the game to work if not tell waninkoko maybe he'll get around to fixing it if its a bug in the cmios check to see if the retail game works in a retail wii

Well, according to the "Gamecube Backup Launcher Compatibility List" both versions of the game work.

I also used to have a wiikey installed, and that played the game (backup) just fine, however the 4.2 update broke that.

Are you pushing "start" to load ?

I'm not quite sure what you mean..

I have tried loading the game through gcbackuploader in the HBC as well as loading though neogamma's loader.

I have tried holding every button (B, A, start) with every method, as well as mashing every button to try and skip past the error.

I just did some more digging on google and found this:

I'm getting an error on wiigator that says "error 0x53100"

Apparently:

"The read error 0x53100 means disc is not a backup. You put in an original Wii game instead of a GC backup. You will also get the "error occured" screen."

However.. this is not the case.. heh. But it does seem to be semi correct because I am getting the "error occurred" screen.

do you still have your modchip installed that might be causeing issues if you can take it out

That is what I was thinking, however, I just soft modded two of my friend's wii's last night, and all 3 wii's are getting the error. I am willing to take out the mod chip to fix mine, however I would like to solve this problem for them aswell (both of them do not have a mod chip installed)

Is that a HBC app or something I would run in windows? (Sorry, the message was a tad vague)

Also, blitzer320, I sent you a private message with the link.
