Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Freeze

[scottieb99]

ok, heres the deal, I have New Super Mario Bros. Wii on a usb device, played through wiiflow. It worked fine for a while then started to freeze at random times with a loud buzzing/whining sound coming from my wii. Its the only game that does this. I have all my ios up to date, cios rev.17, 4.1u. I tried through neogamma as well and it does the same thing. Tried this usb drive on our other wii and it plays fine so I know its prolly an ios problem or something related I just dont know where to start. Any ideas?

Have you tried using a different ISO?

Bad dump possibly?

is this usb device a pen drive? or a hdd? use dop ios mod 11.5 and run a check on both wiis and see if all the ios files match up that would be a good start

 

[scottieb99]

Its a sandisk pen drive. I did the dop ios thing yesterday and all ios are showing the same. Makes no sense, it ran flawlessly a week ago.

I know you said you already have up-to-date IOS's but running this tool http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=207126 won't cause any harm.

ok i updated all the ios again and the problem still persist. Maybe a reinstall of the cios might help?

 

[scottieb99]

When I use dop ios, do I want to apply every patch I can for each ios?

definitely.

your running a game off of a USB device, so your official IOS do not matter and are not being used [IOS4 - IOS70]

is your USB device FAT or WBFS?

 

[scottieb99]

its WBFS

 

[xzxero]

well then its the cIOS or USB pen drive.

if you say that it worked fine on another wii, then reinstall the cIOS.


btw i recommend your just use FAT32 instead of WBFS for a Flash Drive.

 

[scottieb99]

How do I add games to a flash drive ifits formatted to fat32? I thought it had to be wbfs?

Interesting, I will have to check that out as well. I tried another pen drive formatted to wbfs and it froze as well with that loud whining sound. I tried this after I reinstalled cios re.17. Guess I need to try fat32 huh? Would the setting in wiiflow or neogamma have any effect on this? Maybe ocarina? Its weird that all other games on the drive play fine but not new SMB.

 

[xzxero]

dont format just yet.


try erasing NSMB from the drive.

its possible it was a bad transfer.

 

[scottieb99]

trying that now

 

[scottieb99]

Well, it did the same thing, it never freezes at the same place or anything, the screen just freezes and the wii makes an awful sound! Has me baffled...

 

[xzxero]

have you tried another USB drive?

using IOS222 or 223?

 

[scottieb99]

yes i tried a kingston pen drive, same iso and the same result. I was using ios 249, should I try the others?
