the post is:
"Don't know if this has been pointed out before, sorry if it has. I updated from 2.194 to 2.236 and noticed a regular frame freeze pattern in Megaman X Collection, I think other games do it too but it's just much less noticeable; I looked through the changes since the last version and saw the


"-when playing from usb, let the drive read a random sector every 10 seconds to stay alive"

On version 2.215. The frame freezes happen to be accompanied by a single blink in the hard drive usage light, changing the setting Hard Drive LED to off from the menu did nothing. Is there a way to disable this feature?"

IS very minor and occurs in gameplay after de 5 to 10 minutes.
After, the problem is very continued ( aprox 10 second)

The image is paralyzed for 1 second o 2, depending the el hard disk to use.

someone talks about this problem in this post.
well then it appears your drives dont like to be pocked for each 10 seconds or something well i cant reproduce the 1-2 second error like you can my guess is your drive pauses transfer to send the random read but this never happened to me ever my hdd has no issues with the pokes, your dirves must be special or something.

i dont even see how this is possible, nintendont does nothing to the actual system that should be able to cause a brick

I used nintendont on my WiiU since the zelda alpha and I never had any problem.

that is correct, nintendont itself is a temporary program running in a separate processor so it cant do any harm whatsoever. BTW to the guy with that crazy "problem", maybe try take out the HDD from power and then back in, my HDD from time to time likes to freeze and with bad luck blocks everything from booting.

Everything was working perfectly fine. Nintendon't froze and now my wii U says no signal
Hmmm, weird. It powers on but don't send signal to the TV? Well. To be honest it's very unlikely that this was generated by Nintendont itself. But lets try some things,

What game were you playing? What is your setup? Do you notice anything odd or weird before the crash?

It froze and so I had to pull the plug. Don't understand why this happened because it was just working fine last night. The Gamepad is still working with the console though,just can't see anything on the TV.

that more sounds like a hardware defect to me than anything.

Good luck!
I found a version from Paper Mario that matches correctly (MD5 81321e8256205e3cfb71257e6ba2970f).

Sadly, still no luck. The Nintendont screen stucks on "Set .. DI" and the WiiU restarts itself.. I think that was it. What is that?

Thats a hard drive issue. Check and see if r229 works for you. If it does, then you need to either stick with that (if you dont care for the updates since then) or get a new drive (they sell 128GB flash drives on eBay for $14USD if that helps)

Edit: Actually, much cheaper

    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
