Chests freezing here too. Do they freeze the game if playing from a disc too?


played a few hours of it from disk, wiikey using disk channel (played some of that on neogammer to to test on a softmodded 4.2e) and no freezing at all on chests or anywhere.

Wonder if anyone thought to dump the BCA and see if that has anything to do with it. Doesn't seem like that's the case but it never hurts to try

Correct me if I'm wrong but I doubt that would be a problem, as other games that need alt .dols don't run perfectly from discs, do they?

Though it doesn't hurt to try, I doubt this would be the case either as it runs perfectly from disc.

Having these freeze problems too:

Game runs on a PAL Wii , but on several occasions the game just freeze
( with USB Loader Cfg v57)

Tried Neogamma (RC2 ) too - same here.

Burned it, loaded it with Neogamma, but same result (and
the wii is making noises like loading from a floppy disc)

To pass the black screen at the beginning i choose Force Pal 50,
language default und IOS 249 (for speech i had tu turn my wii language into
english).

Did someone say this game uses IOS53??

If so that could be the problem, as none of the cIOS support this yet AFAIK.

That would also explain why it works from cios/darkcorp because it will be using the correct ios (53).

Doesnt your shape also use ios53? And that doesnt work from usb either, well it does but the camera doesnt so you cant play it.

No your shape uses IOS58 which can only be found on the disc.
IOS53 is mostly used by WiiWare and Virtual Console.

I have a 3.2E Wii with Wiikey and it didn't work through Gecko OS. Normally, all games that I've tried have worked with that. After a little messing around I pulled out the good ol' Freeloader (backup) and the game works flawlessly.

Now, as for the game itself... Meh.

Anyone knows which firmware version the disc contains?
Is there a PC utility to discover the firmware version from the ISO?

BYE!

If by "firmware" you mean system menu, it has System Menu 4.1, Boot2v4 like most newer games.
Not sure which IOS the game itself uses, but it doesn't have an update for IOS 58.

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated.

    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy
