Hey guys,
I've got an NTSC-J wii with a wiikey clone. I've of course got the most current firmware (1.9B) and the most current Wii software.
Here is my prob though.
I try to boot SMG and it shows up the channel screen, but when it loads and the system does its flash thing when the screen goes black and temp disconnects the remotes, it doesn't come back.....

I tried it with my legit copy of SMG on my NTSC-J wii console and the same thing happened. Do I have to change a setting or something, or download the Jap release of SMG?

It's very possible you have a bad Wiikey (it is a clone, after all).

I'd download the Japanese release of it, yes...tell us how it goes

you have to update your wiikey to 1.9g to overcome the 001 error. it is a new protection introduced by nintendo. and Jap Wii can only play Jap SMG and US Wii can only play US SMG. There is no way to overcome the region protection in SMG yet. same as fire emblem and dragon ball BT3 for example.

    @nitr8, How long have you worked on this port, just this year?
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    ...and I'm currently playing it - no crash so far. If I could, I'd live-stream
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Or play through it until you encounter a bug or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You should maybe hire beta/alpha testers to playtest your game while you continue to update the port, but that's up to you.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I have been working on BLOOD for the Wii for a few weeks but that was 2 years ago until I noticed that it would randomly crash out of a sudden at some point and I never managed to find the origin of the bug.

    @nitr8, Something like an USB Gecko would be extremely helpful for debugging. Not sure if there might be an IDA plugin which can do this wirelessly.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    That also was the reason why I never released it to the public. Which btw. is a shame because the game is basically "complete" and ready for release
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @nitr8, If you consider open-sourcing this, then I'm sure somebody could point out the bugs for you in the repository, such as walking through step-by-step on what it's doing.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I have 2 USB Gecko's. I'm using one for debug printout messages while I use the second one for realtime debugging within Eclipse where I make changes to the code

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @nitr8, Ah good, having two is always handy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Not sure why you'd want to, but it's a good thing at least.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    You need two if you want realtime-debugging AND debug printout at the same time. The problem is that GDB (the GNU debugger) needs a connection over a serial port while the other one also needs a connection over a serial port. You cannot send debugging commands and printout messages over the same port. It just wouldn't work. I've tested this.

    I should probably see if I can run this natively on a PC using the original commits where I pulled the code from. Basically the repository is the same but the commits were different when it comes to the main game code and the engine overlay...

    BTW: I saw you mentioned me in the link to the ROTT wall bug where a moving wall exits the game map.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    The original developers put an image into the code which would be shown once this bug happens. It's the one you see at the end of the video and it's also the same image I'm using as an avatar.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    Anyway, I hope BLOOD will finally make it's way onto the Wii. I ported DOOM, HERETIC, HEXEN, STRIFE, ROTT and HEXEN II before years ago. I simply cannot imagine that it's too hard to get the game
    running stable.

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    oh hi SylverReZ
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    If I just had the chance to live-stream the running game on the Wii... :unsure:

    @realtimesave, Oh, hey. I was pretty busy lol.
