just means the banner sound is corrupt or wrong, or the current version doesnt support that sound.bin yet which doesnt effect the game in anyway

i dont really know why you would only get this error after upgrading your system, but here's the cause of it

const IMETHeader *imetHdr = (IMETHeader *)opening_bnr;
if ( imetHdr->fcc != 0x494D4554 /*"IMET"*/ )
{
WindowPrompt(tr("IMET Header wrong."), 0, tr("OK"));
free(opening_bnr);
return NULL;
}


the simple fix to not see this message is to go to the settings in GX and turn the game volume to 0. then it wont even try to load the sound and youll never see that it doesnt like the IMET.

I had this message with a corrupted dump, after deleting and redumping the game the header was right again and the sound works. You should really try another dump/download of the game as in my understanding every opening.bnr should have the IMET header and if your loader can't find these few bytes the file has a strange problem.

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    no, I'm asking which one of them you are using
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    in that case, there is no such thing as homebrew launcher for aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    you have to launch your homebrews directly from the wii u menu
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    there is a plugin that display them on the wii u menu, pretty sure it is enabled by default
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    so like it doesnt exist
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
    ?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    it doesn't exist, at least not for aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    ohhhhh
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    on tiramisu you can access it by opening mii maker
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    okay
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    but homebrew is appearing in the home menu btw
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    i just didint know the homebrew launcher didint exist in aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
