After upgrading Nintendont to r300 from r296 Super Mario Sunshine freezes about a minute in to the game. Tested r299 and have the same freeze problem. I have deleted nincfg.bin between all up/downgrades but the problem seems to remain. When I go back to r296 it works again. Am I doing something wrong or has the game crashed somehow in versions above r296? Running NTSC version of Mario Sunshine.
Is the ISO 1:1 or shrunk? If 1:1 did you verify the iso's hash? Can you also post your Nintendont settings?
