I have tried very hard to google it and search on this site for it but i just can't seem to find my answer so i will ask.

My overall aim is to run Kirby's epic yarn NTSC on my Pal 4.2E wii.

I have been having issues running it on configurable usb loader, it froze at the loading screen for making a new game save file every time. I had a look at the topic for the release of the game and everyone why said that it was working was using USB loader GX so i downloaded it and gave it a try. With every game i try to run with it, it has a glitch up of something where green stripes are at the top or bottom of the screen. I tried running cIOS249 rev19 installer as recommended by the USB loader GX web page and the same problem is still there.

Does anyone know how to get USB loader GX running or alternatively, how to get Kirby's epic yarn working in any way. (also, i have one of the wiis with the new disc drive.)

Thanks in advance and sorry that i couldn't find the answer,
DanWeb

To my knowledge, Kirby Epic yarn isn't a problem game in any way. Here is my setup, but it's in no way exclusive:


Wiiflow-222 (note: I still use the r254...the latest 304 one crashed on some problematic games, but it should work fine for this one).
Default settings. In other words: it uses Hermes's cIOS 222 (version 5, default base IOS).

I have 4.2E as well. Perhaps priiloader's "region free EVERYTHING" hack may be needed.



A couple questions/suggestions for you:
-do other games work fine on your end?
-are you trying to run the game from a DVD or from the USB drive? (in case of the former: backup DVD's don't work on wii's with a new drive. Period)
-the latest version of Waninkoko's cIOS is 20 (or 20b, though the only difference is in the installer). Perhaps you should try that version.
-both cIOS'es rev19 and 20 can be installed with a different base IOS. Try installing the different base IOS'es for best effect.

configurable usb loader and wiiflow are considered more stable than usb loader gx. That isn't to say GX doesn't work (it should)...but the former loaders are updated more often.

no games work on GX and all but kirby that i have work on configurable usb loader. Not using DVD's. Also, i am very new to this and i used NUS Auto Downloader (now called modmii i think) so i didn't really gain any knowledge. is Waninkoko's the same as the rev 19 that i installed and is rev 20 just and upgraded version of that. Thanks,

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
