I am having problem loading the game via cfg as the screen goes blank. However, I am having problems attempting either of the two suggested workarounds for this.

Although I used ModMii to mod the Wiiat first, I am now using a different SD card, and I do not think it has enough on it to do either of the two suggested things.

According to cfg (v70, 249) my IOS is IOS249 rev20 mload v1.0. The IOS screen in the options says;

ISO222:stub
ISO223 to IOS248 not installed
IOS249 Base : 57 rev20 (r20)
ISO250 Base: 57 rev20 (r465535)


My SD card only has three launchers on it now, and there was no 'Wad Manager' option when you go to the HBC.

When following instructions for workaround 1, I've used ModMii's download options to get the cIOS249[56]-d2x-v6.wad file, but have no idea how to install this to the Wii. I've created a WAD folder on the SD card. I've also downloaded "WAD Manager17" which is a .dol file (WAD-Manager_v1.7.dol), but this won't show up on the HBC no matter where I put the .dol file (apps folder, root, etc.). Do I need to rename it?

As for the second work aorund, I have a launcher which provides the option of an alternative dol, Neogamma, which gives options of "storage", "disc" etc, but when I select storage, it says "SOUP01.dol" not found, and there's no option to select player.dol (which is a file I don't appear to have anywhere on my SD card anyway).

Can anyone help me? I went out to buy a Motion Plus accessory today so I could try and play this game.

Even though the Wii is already mod'd using ModMii, could I go through this whole process again and somehow amend my cIOS to the suggested one?

Sorted it now. had to rename the WAD Manager .dol to boot.dol and then it worked and I just installed the WAD file. Watching the video now! Wicked! :DD

I have is: Wii 3.2u and NeoGamma R9 beta 50, IOS249 (REV 17)

My one question for d2x cIOS installer v3.1:

- Download and extract to SD/USB
- Load the HBC and load the d2x installer
- Select IOS36 or 236 to use during the installation
- Select cIOS to install
- Select base IOS i.e
- Select cIOS slot i.e
- Press A to install

Then

Do the same for IOS250 but with base 57 like this:

- Select IOS250
- Select cIOS to install
- Select base IOS i.e

The game boots to a black screen with WiiFlow, official build 417 (or whatever the latest official version is), and with the latest D2X V7 Beta cIOS (Base 58 installed.

I don't have a WiiMotion+, but I assume the game should actually BOOT, right?

Also, I find no option to block IOS reload in wiiflow in the game options. Is it a global option, for all games?

EDIT: Is it necessary for me to use base 56? Base 58 boots ALL my games, and i don't want to mess with it for fear I'll screw up something...

If you patch the game, chances are that the game won't work because of that.

WiiFlow should have the option since r355 if my google search is correct, the option has to be there somewhere. Without WM+ the game won't work, but you are right, it should show some kind of warning screen about that. The black screen could come from using a wrong video mode, patching something that you should not patch, or a corrupted .iso. Can you try to put the game on a different filesystem? Or at least in a different format? Best would be to even use a different backup manager. Did you patch the .iso in any way? If yes, undo that.

Did you patch the .iso? 002 error sounds like you did. Are you using the latest NeoGamma version(R9b50)? Are you using the correct video mode?

I cannot find the option anywhere, but I simply used USB Loader GX to load the alternate .dol (I know this is bullshit, but I was stumped, and I'm getting a WM+ today) and watch the player movie.

Now, booting the game in WiiFlow actually lets it play! It goes to the warning screen with the WiiMotion+ (please insert your WiiMotion+ and nunchuck, etc)

I did try it in my WBFS 4 gb pen drive (this is for problems like this) before using the alternate .dol method and it failed to work...

I also put it in ISO format on my NTFS drive, that didn't work either. I checked all the settings before using the different formats, and nothing was patched.

At least I got it working :/ Just want to know where the IOS reload option is in case this happens again.


EDIT: A guide for wiiflow says this:

Page 3
- Download Cover: Downloads an individual game cover, replacing any already on file.
- Block IOS Reload: Enables games that don't usually work due to IOS Reloads. Works ONLY if you boot your loader in 222 and the game in 222/223.
- Patch Video Mode: Normal or More or All.

That's from the games settings. I see now how it says ONLY IF YOU BOOT IN 222 AND GAME IN 222/223.

Well, that's really gay-ass Wiiflow, seeing as D2X cIOS works perfectly and you even require it to boot the actual damned WiiFlow...

I'm switching to CFG USB Loader. WiiFlow is pointless to me now, with this bs they're pulling with the IOS Reload.

I just followed the instructions in the first post. My Wii was playing pretty recent games including Return to Dreamland. Now... CFG USB Loader won't recognize my drive. Can anyone help me out?

Does CFG identify your cIOS correctly as d2x v6 with base IOS56? It would be good to know which cIOS you had before, then it would be easier to tell what's going on. It could be that your HDD is only detectable when the cIOS uses a certain base IOS. This is kinda unlikely, only IOS58 should have a really different compatiblity, but it has its own issues. Or it could be some kind of bug in the d2x cIOS and your HDD works fine with older cIOS.

To determine what's wrong, you can try other bases, or your can try older cIOS.
