Hi Kira99, i don't think you understand what alt-dols do. The reason you need to use an alt-dol for Wii sports resort is because the game changes the IOS it uses after the wii motion plus tutorial finishes. In other words it changes IOS midway through the game. This is why you need to first instruct the usb loader you use to use the alt dol when you run WSR for the first time to allow the video to play through and then you must turn off alt-dol in your loader to actually play the game. using the alt-dol does not install anything to your Wii at all, it just gives your wii the info it needs to play the tutorial that's it!
2. You should not have to use the alt-dol again since Wii sports resort will not play the wii motion plus tutorial again. The movie should only play once unless you ask it to play again. This is especially true for system menu 4.1 since it fixes a glitch in 4.0 where the tutorial would play again by mistake.
3. the alt-dol has nothing to do with the partition update at all. it is found in partition 2. As I said in #1 the alt-dol does not install anything to your wii. If a game comes out that has a similar issue than you will need to find an alt-dol that is specific to that game and do the same thing. If there ever is a true permanent fix, it will have to be done through a custom ios (CIOS) or through the USB Loader.
udo4ever, is there any hint about which IOS actually changed after running alt-dol of Sports Resort?
I'm facing craziest situation ever here. It is kind of a fairy-tale, so prepare to listen. =)
I helped my boss (who lives in other country) to install USB Loader GX (600, for what it worth) and Sports Resort. It worked fine. But then later for some unknown reason both Waninkoko USB Loader 1.5 and USB Loader GX decided not to see USB-drive. Loader 1.5 said there is no WBFS partition, and GX refused to see the drive at all. By the way, WBFS Manager on PC still seen the drive and it's content with no problems.
Anyway, disc was re-formatted and images reinstalled into it. Both loaders once again began to see it ok.
USB Loader GX worked fine with any game. With but one exception: if you make ANY changes into exact Sports Resort settings - there will be black screen on launching ANY game. Killing configs heals the problem. I presume even killing config of Sports Resort will heal it, but i can't check it - the man i helped is now very far away, so i'm trying to help him through gtalk and such.
In the we have a situation where any game but SR works, and any changes to SR settings will crash ALL games.
That's the story. So i'm trying to figure out, which IOS was updated by SR alt-dol, and probably any way to revert it back to previous state, to play the whole thing again.
Just in case, that was on cIOS38 rev 13. Later it was updated to rev 14, and Loader GX was updated to 688. With no changes at all - same story, black screen on any changes of SR settings to all games.
I know this sounds crazy. But that's the way things are.
Any recommendations or advices will be really appreciated! I'm digging through all this mess for like two days! T_T
