Edit: Several people blame the WiiTARD release for this issue. So please double check which release you are using. Also make sure to use a cIOS that's DL compatible, rev17, 19 and 20 should be fine, as well as Hermes cIOS.

Edit2:How to check if the used release is broken:
Tanas said:If you want to check if your copy of Metroid is ok, using WiiScrubber extract the movie "dm03to04.sfd" (this is the baby's cry cutscene) and play it using VLC and if the movie freezes and doesnt play until the end then the copy you have is more than likely bad.
I tried this on the WiiTard release and the movie froze at the exact same point as it does in the game, the movie plays fine when tested using a working copy.

In order to find out what's going on, we need more information, so i want this from everybody:
1. Did it freeze for you at the Baby's Cry Cutscene? If it freezed on other cutscene, please describe it here.
2. Which filesystem did you use? Or did you use a disc?
3. Which cIOS did you try? Please only post the cIOS your loader actually used. There's no point in writing about Hermes and Waninkoko in CFG for example, if you have both installed, but don't tell CFG correctly to use the one or the other.
4. Which loader did you use? Which revision?
5. Which release did you use?
6. Did you remove the update partition manually? If yes, how?
7. Please describe the issue: Does it with the picture on screen? Black screen? "An error occurred"?
My current suspect is something like FAT/NTFS + .iso/.wbfs file + Waninkoko cIOS.
In order to increase the readability please answer like this:
QUOTE said:1. No
2. WBFS
3. cIOS56rev20
4. NeoGamma R9 beta 44
5. I don't know
6. No
7. -

This is just an example, not an actual test result!
When posting several results, please post all 7 points again if the issue is different.
Thanks.
For those with the freeze in thescene, look at this:Ridley
QUOTE(beav1s @ Sep 1 2010, 04:50 AM)for those who have the ridley scene freeze
i believe the source of this problem is wii backup manager and wii game manager, more specifically the older versions of wbfs_file they appear to use. i used the wbfs_file from cfgloader page manually and i was finally able to get past the freeze. http://code.google.com/p/cfg-loader/downlo...mp;can=2&q=
i swear i tried 2 different releases, other_m.rar and the new bioshock proper release, tried different revisions of config loader, usbgx, and wiiflow, tried every combination of hermes v4 and v5 as well as all wanins cios v17-20, all resulting in same freeze.
note: i did not remove the update partition when using wbfs_file manually, so my R3OE01.wbf1 file is a few hundred megs bigger than the ones created with previously mentioned wbfs managers, however i believe the problem is with older wbfs_file.exe. already spent lots of time trying to fix this so its possible the update partition was the problem, but im of the opinion it was the outdated wbfs_file.exe. maybe someone else who has this problem and uses this fix can confirm.
hope this saves someone of going through all the trouble i did
