Hacking New Super Mario Bros Trouble

[Sheldon392]

I ripped my copy of NSMBW to my external hard drive. Whenever I try to load it I just get a black screen. I'm running 4.3U and have installed IOS53 v5406 with WiiMod. I can't find any other information on what to do now. Help?

What loader are you using?

Anyway, NSMBW uses BCA protection, not sure how to get around it in general I remember it not being too hard in CFG loader.

I'm using USB loader gx, I've looked at that article before but i was hoping there was a way to fix it aside from patching the actual game

Well it does say

"For USB-Loader Users:
-Try the newest NeoGamma, USBLoader GX, CFG-Loader or WiiFlow, which all should be able to run the clean game."

It would be very strange if you were running a version too old for it, given how long this game has been running fine but when's the last time you updated your loader?

I've never had any problem running the game, on Wii or WiiU, and yes, I ripped it myself, so I know it's not patched. I use CFG though, not GX. Not that it should make a difference.

Im using USB Loader GX version 3.0, I hacked my wii in July of 2013.

I looked on the credits page of USB Loader GX and i found this in the corner "Rev1215 IOS250 (Rev 65535)" if it means anything

I also tried doing the update in GX and it said no update was available

I also hacked a wii last week and my friend is having the same problem with NSMBW

EDIT: in the top right corner of his wii in credits it says "Rev1215 IOS248 (Rev 21006) (d2x v6 base 56)
Since i knew for the most part of what i was doing this time, i did things a little differently on his wii i guess, still doesn't boot the game though

 

[Sheldon392]

I just tested out cfg and the game still does not boot. The first time i tried to launch it, cfg froze at its "loading game" screen. I tried it again and it launches the game but still gives me just a black screen. I tried a different wii game and it launches just fine.

Sorry for all the posts, I'm just trying to get as much info out as possible

Maybe try changing the IOS for Launching the Game either 249 or 250......it should be in the settings before u Launch

similar thread from years ago
http://gbatemp.net/threads/new-super-mario-bros-black-screen-on-usb-loader-gx.253110/

turned out in that case to be a bad rip

maybe you should try ripping it again. how did you rip it before? some people insist on cleanrip, so maybe try that.

Ok so I went into WiiMod. It tells me that I have cIOS 247, 248, and 250 installed (idk what bases i used, that was a long time ago and i had no clue what i was doing). IOS249 is a stub. I tried launching it on all four of those IOSs and i still get the same black screen problem.

As for when i ripped it, I ripped it right from GX when i first hacked my wii. I would rip it again but my disk drive is shot (don't leave your wii in a backpack), so ill have to use my friends wii if I want to rip it again :/ idk when ill see him next.

For now should i try using d2x to reinstall 247, 248, and 250 and then try launching the game with those? If so I believe I'm supposed to do base 57 in 247, base 56 in 248, and I'm not sure for 250.

USB loader gx 3.0 is outdated. Use the latest beta

Do i just replace the boot.dol file in USBLoaderGX folder in SD/apps with the one i downloaded? And what do i do with the other file?

Just replace with new .DOL and rename your original for backup purposes

 

[Sheldon392]

Ok i did it and the stupid thing still won't load, tried all four IOSs. Should i reinstall 247, 248, and 250? if so what bases do i use for each? 56 for 248 and 57 for 247 i believe, correct?

Use modmii it will answer all your questions and grab the proper iOS for you, after you use modmii and install the correct iOS if it is still not working correctly you have a bad rip

Im beginning to think i have a bad rip, dolphin emulator can't even open it, it just crashes every time
