Here's the list of the games i know that are IOS Reloading games:
Code:
Army Men: Soldiers of Misfortune (maybe not, only 1 confirmation)
Boogie (not Boogie Superstar which doesn't need this)
Call of Duty 3
CSI: Deadly Intent(IOS53, IOS Reload when trying to play 1st misson, maybe alt .dol from disc+ would allow to select the mission)
FarCry(IOS9, looks like no chance for alt .dol from disc+, does an IOS Reload in the middle of the game)
Fate of Atlantis(inside Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings)
FIFA 08
House of the Dead 2(IOS Reload block function in Hermes cIOS works! Also alternative .dol loading allows to boot HOTD2 directly)
Mahjong Kakutou Club(Mahjong Fight Club)
Madden '07
Madden '08
Medal of Honor Heroes 2
Metal Slug Anthology
Metroid Prime 1(alternative .dol loading works partially, only 1st slot and veteran difficulty, alt .dol from disc+ might help)
Metroid Prime 2(alternative .dol loading works partially, only 1st slot and veteran difficulty, alt .dol from disc+ might help)
Metroid Prime Trilogy(IOS55, .dols for PAL: rs5fe_p.dol, rs5mp1_p.dol, rs5mp2_p.dol and rs5mp3_p.dol, alternative .dol loading works partially, only 1st slot each, veteran difficulty, no multiplayer, alt .dol from disc+ might help)
Mortal Kombat Armageddon
NBA Live '08
Pangya Golf With Style(=Super Swing Golf)
Red Steel(IOS9, IOS Reload directly before main menu, alternative .dol loading makes the game fully playable)
Sam & Max Season One(IOS33, fully playable with alt .dol from disc+)
Splinter Cell Double Agent
SSX Blur
Video tutorial in Grand slam Tennis
Video tutorial in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10
Video tutorial in Virtua Tennis
Video tutorial in Wii Sports Resort(player.dol, alternative .dol loading works)

It would be nice if people would post .wdm files here. The parameter should be set to 1 for all games where no special parameters are known.

One should decide for himself if he wants a .wdm file for Wii Sports Resort, as you only need to boot the other .dol once, but for Metroid Prime 1 for example, a file with "main menu" and "play game" or whatever would be nice.

If a game is fully playable if another .dol is booted instead of the main.dol the .wdm file should look like this:
Code:
1
0
Text doesn't matter
Name of the .dol, ? are allowed to create multi region .wdm files
1


If alternative .dol loading from disc+ is used with such a .wdm file on sd card, the loader should just boot the game .dol directly without asking. Oh and .wdm files can use 3, 4 or 6 digits of the discid, where i recommend to use 3, because that creates files for use in all regions.

Currently the latest NeoGamma and configurable usb loader are using .wdm files, expect the others following soon.

I want to gather all possible information about these games, to figure out which games still don't work from usb and hopefully find a solution for some of them. So mainly i want to know which IOS is requested by each game, which helps if one wants to replace that with a cIOS to play the game from disc. And i want to know where the IOS Reload happens, which .dols are on the disc and if the IOS Reload block function from Hermes cIOS works.

One simple question: You want to know where the IOS Reload happens. What do you mean by that? Let's take Red Steel: The Game freezes at the Health-Screen. Would this be the Information you would want? That the IOS Reload happens at the Health-Screen?

Oh, and let's hope many people will help...although I have a feeling that they won't (screaming for a solution and doing nothing when there's a chance happend before...)

CSI: Deadly Intent(IOS53) reloads when you select the first mission(just sends you back to the wii menu) without cios53 from corp3.x so I would assume it reloads at the beginning of load for each level but I could be wrong there could be more like beginning and end of the level

To me it's good enough if i get the info that it's before the main menu and that alternative .dol loading works without any noticable bugs. Well the name of the .dol would be nice.

Ok, first batch (I'm bored

Thank you. Hmm, the disc id might also worth adding. I guess the alternative .dol loading works for these 3 games?

I'll add the ID too
smile.gif
. Well, about the loading, as far as I remember (didn't played these games for quite a long time
tongue.gif
), I only had sometimes, some graphical glitches with SSX and Medal, but maybe I was dreaming...I'll check in the weekend

Oh, btw: I'll make the post above as my "Master"-Post, I'll update that one instead of posting always new...

a little redundant no? If there's only one dol, then there isn't an alternate dol for the alt dol method to even be attempted!

Isn't SSBB (RSBE01) an IOS reloading game? I know it caused me some problems at the end of the first battle in the subspace emissionary. Hermes's 222/223 cIOS block worked on that one.

There was also something weird in wii sports resort. IIRC, you had to enable the alt dol to watch the introduction movie, and then disable it to play the game itself (quick googled source).

SSBB doesn't reload IOS. It's just unruly at times since it's a dual-layer game and DL support has a history of breaking in IOS249, though it's been stable for the past few revs.

I know a site where you can get the, japanese Metroid Prime new wii control edit. It has been patched into english. Has all the features from the game on the trilogy disc. Plus it's own menu. I have not tested the game yet, but it should play perfect.

The trilogy disc is just the MP1 and MP2 new controls EDITS indirect ported combined with MP3 on one disc.

I don't support pirates and only pm me for the site, if you already own the trilogy game.

It doesn't work with it's menu from USB loading, only from disc.

I been asured by the mods of the site, MP1 WC's menu works and doesn't require an alternate dol.

Why not? It isnt the trilogy game after all. Its a completely seperate game. The gamecube version's menu loads and that's basically what the New contorl series games are. They just have been upgraded for the wii.
