Hacking Samurai_Warriors_3_PAL_Wii-WiiERD - Bad dump?

[altaris]

by the way, my friend had to update his Cios in order to work, or else the game was locking at the exact place as it was with the bad bump.

my Cios is updated already so i had no problem

You mean ciosv19?

 

[kimikal27]

yes
ciosx19 works great

I didn't know that there's no difference between PAL and NTSC via rgb cable, thanks. Hmm, the rgb cable for Wii outputs rgb for PAL video and a s-video signal on the red channel for NTSC video...

Note that the red screen issue is only Wii related, because the wii does something strange with a NTSC signal and a rgb cable.

S-Video shares the Red signal (thats not a wii specific thing), so that would be correct if you tell your console to output svideo with an rgb cable and the tv in rgb mode. I suppose it's possible that the NTSC Wii can't output rgb (at least in the system menu), in which case component is the only option that is common to both PAL and NTSC.

something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/YPbPr-Component-Video-...=item3a55500c04

should allow you to convert component 480p/576i to composite/svideo 480i if your tv doesn't support component @ 50hz.

The tools check the disc itself. Each partition (DATA+UPDATE+CHANNEL) is encrypted. Each 1024 bytes have a SHA1 checksum and this checksum is also stored on the disc. There are 5 levels of checksum (See http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Disc#Partition_Data for details.)

The VERIFY command decrypt the data and calculate the checksums again and compare them with the stored checksums like the Wii does. Is there is a difference my tools print a message. For scrubbed discs only the needed sectors are checked.

I was too busy pimping veriify I didn't see you'd posted.

One possible advantages of veriify is it uses standard .net libraries for decryption. Which I believe in theory can use hardware acceleration.

there is a new ISO that came out

Here are my tests from my CRT tv with component inputs on NTSC

Auto Patch- can see the screen but its all wavy was able to create a save file and start a character fine
Force NTSC- black screen
force Pal60 - same as auto patch
force pal50 - same as auto patch
Disk Default- black screen
system default - black screen

Will test on an HD tv when i get home this weekend

RGB is RGB. no matter what country you are in - over SCART, VGA, Component or any other permutation. PAL/NTSC/SECAM are colour carriers for non-rgb connection methods.

Note that the red screen issue is only Wii related, because the wii does something strange with a NTSC signal and a rgb cable.
Whilst the red screen is peculiar to the wii (as far as consoles go), it isn't the only console that disables RGB - for example some NTSC dreamcast games (but not the system itself) also disabled video output when using a RGB SCART cable; giving you a blank screen (although sound carried on working).

How many times do you need to be told? Just because it doesn't work on the TVs you have used does NOT mean that it won't work at all. By all means warn people that lots of TVs may not work, but don't tell them an outright lie by claiming it won't work at all. Enough people in the three threads have proven you wrong!

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU YOU IT WONT WORK ON NTSC TVS. DAMMIT IS THERE A BUTTON TO BLOCK YOUR DAMN POSTS.

 

[PrinceNOOB]

Phew just blocked you annoying piece of shit.

 

[WiiPower]

If "NTSC hdtv"s don't support PAL 50 Hz video playback, that's just plain stupid. Is there anything known that doesn't work on a "PAL hdtv"?

And i would like to know if this combination works to get at least colors:
NTSC Wii + NTSC crt tv + PAL rgb cable

Some people seem to only have the color issue, if a rgb cable would fix that, that would be good to know. The jumping screen issue would remain in any case, so it wouldn't be a perfect solution.

Wiipower: A post I made in another thread:

Pioneer, Sharp, Philips, some Sony and Vizio (whoever they are) models all seem to support PAL, so about the only main-brands of TV without support are Panasonic and Samsung.

This idiot is just claiming it won't work on ANY NTSC TV, even though people in the usa, with ntsc tv's have said it works fine for them. He's an idiot, he won't listen to reason. Most of the big brands work fine with PAL, other brands can be a chance. Let him live in ignorance, it suits him down to the ground.

NTSC Wii + NTSC TV + RGB cable would display the game in colour, if NTSC TVs had SCART sockets, which 99.99999999% don't.

 

[shanefromoz]

Would not work on my pal wii until i changed tv setting to 576i and all is great now.

 

[adawgdafree]

Got the game working perfectly fine on a NTSC Vizio HDTV using component cables and Force PAL50 option w/ 249 in CFG Loader. Shows 576i as the resolution so I suppose this TV just happens to support PAL resolutions.

 

[PrinceNOOB]

After going thru hell to disconnect my upscaler it works perfect now. Btw george couldn hear what you said

[kimikal27]

George,
dont lose your temper cuz of this guy,
he still thinks the earth is square and that the sky might fall down...

 

[mayu29]

Guys, why do you let all the dumbs to post here and spread a bunch of stupidities? George is right, many people read here that the game wont work on a NTSC TV because that stupid noob wrote that.

 

[nj727]

having no luck! this is getting me mad!
