Hacking Ghostbusters: The Video Game Green/Black Screen

[Hammyface]

I knew it was just a matter of time. So instead of going through all these methods and messing with my wii, I just waited till today.
The new anti 002 fix on usbloader gx will make games like ghostbusters play on any revision. I can confirm it works like a charm on my pal 3.2 wii with cios36 rev10.

I updated to the latest USBLoader GX and my setup is identical to yours but I still get the green screen. Care to elaborate?

4.0 U NeoGamma R4 13a. If you eject the SD card when it starts loading the game, it works!

Summary of the thread:

Problem 1:
The game is a 002b game. If ANY kind of main.dol 002 patch is applied to the game, it freezes at a green screen. You need cIOSrev13a to avoid this. If you get the 002 error then, it's obvious you need another loader/enable the 002 fix in your loader. Note that a green screen freeze could also indicate a region problem, try to play with disc region video mode, black&white playback means the game works and you only need to fix the video mode problem somehow.

Problem 2:
The game freezes for some people at the health screen. Mostly people using discs which are limited to 3x reading speed(softmods+flatcable modchips) report this. There are different solutions for this problem:
1. Play from sd or usb, works for most people
2. Press A,-,+ and/or home rapidly and/or with the correct timing, seems to not have too much effect
3: Press eject in the second the screen flashes white for the health screen, if you are promted to reinsert the disc, it worked. Confirmed to work by many people
4. Play without sd card insterted. 1 Confirmation so far

PS: Many people reported that some weird settings like force and patch video modes worked for them, but these were coincidences, patching a NTSC game to NTSC on a NTSC console is nonsense.
PPS: Oh yeah, why i do this: I can't stand the 100th post: "Hey guys, i found the solution, press eject in the right...."

that's exactly what i had to do is, go back to rev 13a instead of 13b and problem solved when using the 002 fix. im using usb. i cant believe how long this thread has gotten. your post is the perfect solution.

4.0 U NeoGamma R4 13a. If you eject the SD card when it starts loading the game, it works!

Also works the same way with cioscorps

I can confirm that Ghostbusters works on the following:
System Menu 4.0U
cIOS Rev 13 (left 13b installed, didnt work, installed 13a, worked perfectly)
with NeoGamma R4, set to fix 002 bug
USB Harddrive

There were no other tricks, or strategies I had to use.

Works on my pal 3.4 wii with rev10 ios and 002 fix along with anti 002 fix turned on.

NeoGamma R4 patches 002 automatically, the anti 002 fix option is to fix 002b when an IOS is used that also fixes 002. Sounds weird, but it's the only way for now.

Your copy was retail or Dled. if you don't want to reply here send me a pm. i think these guys are ramming their heads against a wall over a bad uploaded version of the game.

Using USB Loader GX and cIOS V13a I got a black screen.
If I put any disk in the drive and try again it works just fine.

Ok I have tried everything and I cant get Ghostbusters to run. I load it from the disk channel. It gives me an error with a black screen. I load it from DVD, it gives me a green screen. I loaded it with NEOGamma. It freezes at the health screen. I tried taking the SD out and the eject and none of that worked. I installed to USB and when I boot it it gives me a black screen with error 002. I updated to the latest USB Loader GX and gives me the same error. How can I get this to run?

 

[kanoeyes]

on usbs loaders for me its impossible to load that game, now i´m burning at a dvd and try it on gamma to see what´s happen... let´s see

My version is um.. a backup. Not one that I have dumped myself either.
Edit: NTSC Console, NTSC Iso.

im in the same boat minus the usb loader..i dont use it..the specs...3.3u, cios rev13a...ive tried the newest gamma release still nothing...freezes at health screen every time and ive tried all those tricks :-/ guess its hopeless...good thing this isnt my wii...mines chipped and ghostbusters runs perfectly =) as per usual any help is more than welcome.

 

[CheatingSoi]

Ok NEOGamma Running the game from a USB is the only thing that seems to work for me. But at least it does work. I though I would never play the game jstu because I have the 360 version and the Wii verison just looks dumb but everyone said it would be good and gamespot gave it the highest score so now that its finially working, I think it sucks. lol Oh well.

this game is cool.

hi guys
wrong topic but need to find out a few answers.

pal wii 3.3e
d2sun v3 modchip.
all games work apart from the ghostbusters and indy jones.
i get greemn screen on both ....

ok if i install cIOS38_rev13-Installer will i be able to play with a modchip as i am reading that you need this just for a soft modded wii.

any help would be really appreciated as i have tried and search everywhere to get these 2 games working .

This may be a bit late but. Eject the disc. Not the SD Card just as the warning screen comes on then hit eject. If you don't get the "please insert the ghosbusters disc" msg you are too late. it works on disc loader and neogamma R3 on a 3.2 e

The game is good by the way for a WII.
