Method to get MP3 working via USB Loader GX:

Scrubbing the game shrinks it to 3.95GB and removes MP3 it seems.

So does this mean i can scrub the game and just burn the first 2 MP to a regular dvd and still play

This would be an ideal solution if possible....

Urgh, the Wii cleaner didn't work at all, so now I basically wasted $10 on a useless peice of plastic and I still can't play MPT.

Anyone else that has used a loader noticed this.....

while playing MP2 it does not display in 480p...only 480i (using an alt-dol method of playing the game)

-it's nothing in my settings, I have played numerous games in 480p using my current settings, it's just something about the alt-dol method preventing it from displaying in 480p

So does anyone know if it is possible to remove the 3rd MP from the disk and just burn the first 2 to a regular dvd. I only have one dvd left to try it and would like not to waste it. Thanks

Thats actually a really good idea. Particularly for people who already own the 3rd game.

I hope some one can do this. The original GC MP and MP2 were on single gamecube disks so should be able to fit on a DVD5. My wiikeyed Wii will not read dual layer disks - didn't mind not playing smash bros but I'd llike to be able to play MP1 with MP3 controls.

Just tried on a Verbatim DVD+R DL with LB 2084960 and my WiiKey2-modded Wii. It boots to the selection menu, but only MP3 actually loads. Trying to load MP1 and MP2 results in the screen going black and the Wii rebooting after a few seconds.

I have the exact opposite problem! I did the same burn configuration as you: Verbatim DVD+R DL at 2084960. MP1 and MP2 load, but MP3 gives me a black screen (no rebooting!)

I have an original Wiikey.

Very weird. I even opened up my Wii today and changed the resistance of that laser poti from ~750 Ohms to 500 Ohms, since I thought it might have trouble reading one of the layers: same result.

I would be happy if I could get it to work like you did, since right now I just have a re-release of MP3 with a fancy new menu. Woo-hoo. I wonder if there is a way to remove MP3 from the disc and just burn MP1+2+menu to a DVD5; are there any tools out that let you remove files from a Wii ISO?

Some more results; I tried disabling the region-fix (PAL-Wii), that obviously did not work at all. Reducing read-speed from 6x to 3x results in the disc being unreadable. I get no error message, but the drive starts making ugly clicking noises after a while. And with region-fix and 6x speed I get reboots on MP1 and MP2 after the game's logo appears on the black background. I'm starting to suspect that the chip might be doing something weird, since in theory the menu and MP3 should be on different layers of the disc. So accessing the different layers does not seem to be the issue here.

I have a Wiikey v1 and burn it on a DL with set layerbreak. All game works/loads.

If nobody is up to it I'll try the scrubbed (or split the "image" in half) method to see if MP1 and MP2 is playable on a SL disc.

I have a wiikey V1 console to. And metroid prime 3 dont pass to loading menu, the others work fine, i have used the "file.DVD" with the layer break included. Did you set the layerbreak manualy on image burn? te same of smash bros?

or you check the box in imageburn to find the best match layer break?


thanks.

 

[Lookie401]

I set it manually in ImgBurn and yes the same from SSBB.

One of my friend use the .dvd file and said it works fine for him.

Maybe you're using a bad disc and/or old burner and/or the Wii lens is dirty/worn out?

 

[BlueSteel]

I'm going to try SSBB DVD9 now, to see if that one works. If not, my burner is crap (Samsung SH-183A), otherwise it appears the WiiKey v2 might have some problem with Metroid Prime Trilogy.

By the way, is the WiiKey v2 not that popular? I haven't read any comment from anyone using it with Metroid Prime Trilogy...

EDIT: SSBB DVD9 seems to work fine, which leaves me a bit puzzled. Probably it is some problem with Wiikey 2 that has to be fixed with a new firmware...which would be the first after over 9 month.

I wouldnt hold your breath for a wiikey update at this point

Okay, I got the chance to remove the 2nd layer using the same tool for SSBB (NOT the one that edit that pointer file to play the same video) and burn it.

- Launch game via disc channel: Works
- Load MP1, play for a bit, quit and return to main menu: Works
- Load MP2, play for a bit, quit and return to main menu: Works
- Load MP3, gave disc read error: DOESN'T WORK

Looks like MP1 and MP2 are on the first layer so you should be fine just "burning" on a SL disc.

By the "tool for SSBB" you mean an older version of WiiScrubber right?

UPDATE: Tested out the older version of WiiScrubber that removes the second layer and the game loads fine but when I select MP 1 or 2 it just sends me back to the System Menu.

Tested on cIOS 13b with NeoGamma R4. (With and without Anti 002)

I don't know if it's a modified version of WiiScrubber but it's just one file named "ssbb_dvd5.exe" and runs in "dos"/command line.

I ended up buying the game, as the trouble/wait trying to get it to work wouldn't be worth it to me. Alas, on the disc-load channel I get a "Cannot read disc" error. I've not a clue what could be responsible, I cleaned my lens. For reference, I've installed pre-loader and wii menu 4 (customized).
