    Hi there.

    As written above... started PimpMyWii to correct a problem the Wii s not playing all original Game-DVD's.

    Started PimpMyWii and it freezes with: "Testing IOS 22 v1037 (19/26)"
    Doesn't matter only do the testing or manually or other options. Freezes everytime with IOS22

    Any idea ?

    Thx,

    Remove your HDD/USB drive and any GC pads or mem cards.

    Thx for your reply.

    But there's nothing connected to the Wii.

    This program didnt work for me too so I stopped trying it and did all manually. BTW, its better to know what exactly happens to your Wii... So just do it yourself.

    Ok, doing it manually isn't a big problem, if anyone can tell me what to do...

    My problem is following mentioned in the readme of PMW:

    - Black screen at loading of dvd games :
    Missing IOS -> Install those IOS (patching them)

    Any suggestion ?

    thx,

    I know I should not say that...but : just stop using PimpMyWii....
    Keep it simple: BannerBomb -> Hackmii Installer -> TBR -> (DOP-IOS) -> cIOS38rev14 Installer and that it.

    I don't blame you or xzxero, just bad and buggy application;)


    BTW:if you miss somes IOSes, just install them with Dop-IOS.

    And don't patch ALL your IOSes: Hackmii Installer / HBC don't like this (exept if you want the "inverted HBC" [​IMG] )

    when running dop-ios just have a look at the upper right part on the screen: it will warn you if the IOS is absent and you can update it or install an ancient version
    hopefully dop-ios refuse to install stub ioses so it's a safe application

    Well, it's not it's main purpose, but you could try UNCORP to install all IOS' in a working state (no stubs etc.).

    Hi.

    Think I will first try to reinstall IOS 22 with DOP-IOS (got the tip somewhere else...) and see what ios will be mentioned to be missing...
    after that I'll try PMW again...

    Will keep you informed [​IMG]

    Thx

    Got it back working...

    First PMW stopped at IOS22, replaced with DOP-IOS. Starting PMW again, stopping at IOS21. Replaced with DOP-IOS. And so on...

    At last, all IOS where PMW stopped have been replaced and the Problem was gone.

    Thx for all your help and Tips [​IMG]
