Okay, I finally got the game working. Here's how I did it:
  • Burned the unmodified image to DVD-R
  • Installed cIOS rev 13 (a.k.a. rev 13a)
  • Downloaded and installed NeoGamma R3 on SD card under \apps directory
  • Launched NeoGamma R3
  • Selected Config Options
  • Changed Patch Video from No to All
  • Selected Exit Menu
  • Selected Launch Game
EDIT: Big thanks to AdamBrunt for pointing me in the direction of the Patch Video option.

I don't know why that isn't working for me!

No.

There is a known issue with rev13a that if you return the USBLoader screen after playing a game of the HDD then the next game will freeze (even though it normally works). The only way to fix it is to reboot the wii.

So wait a sec, there's no way to play this unless you have a USB device?
That's pretty bad, the only USB gizmo I have is a 2GB stick. So if this new error becomes a standard practice I can't play anything new unless I buy something bigger? :\

Everytime I try to load the game via NeoGamma or any other backup launcher, it freezes at the wiimote screen. The interesting thing is that I can load and play the game through the disc channel. Plays fine. I'm using Rev13a on a 4.0 softmod and I also recently followed another guide elsewhere to make games loadable through the disc channel. It doesn't work on all of my games for some reason (maybe they've been patched in some way) but plenty of them do work including Ghostbusters, which I just straight burned the iso with no patching or brickblocking applied.

The guide for launching games via disc channel can be found at this link

How to launch backups via disc channel on 4.0

It's loading for me from a burn.

There seems to be an error in NeoGamma R4 RC2+, please if you want to use NeoGamma use R3 for now.

even though the game works for me through disc channel i tried neogamma r3 out of curiosity and it works fine, no freezing on wiimote screen.

I managed to get the game to load one more (and only one more) time, though I'm not sure exactly how I did it.

I burned a fresh copy of Ghostbusters, verified the disc through ImgBurn, and used SoftChip r99 to launch the game. I think (I should have written it down) the only change I made to the settings was to enable logging.

After powering off the Wii and turning it back on, I have not been able to get past the Wii Remote safety screen again. I am now thoroughly confused.

When I was able to get the game working, I played it for about an hour with no glitches or errors.

EDIT: Here's the log from SoftChip r99 from right before I successfully loaded the game:
QUOTE said:
[13/05 12:43:05] ---------------------
[13/05 12:43:05] Loading Disc...
[13/05 12:43:10] Disc ID: RGQE
[13/05 12:43:10] Disc Title: Ghostbusters

[13/05 12:43:15] IOS requested by the apploader: 53 (Rev 4113)
The log entries for failed attempts are exactly the same, so no help there.

Everything works fine for me until I slide down the pole and I'm supposed to click on the Ectomobile. The sound stutters but I can still move around. Then when I click on Single Player and press + to continue, it freezes (but the sound still continues looping).


I'm using: Wiikey, USBLoaderGX 502, cIOS rev13, 002 Fix enabled, Seagate FreeAgent Go 160GB with sleep disabled.

As for my earlier results (disc channel and neogamma r3) neither one seems to work every time. Sometimes it will freeze on the Wiimote screen through both options and other times it works like a charm either way I go. Oh well, I am just happy that I can play the game even if it takes a few tries

I'm sorry but where are you finding 002 fix enabled?
I have USBLoaderGX 502 and I see the video setting but nothing about 002
(and I think I have rev13a. mine just said rev13....?)
