Gaming Sonic 4 coming soon

[Schlupi]

I am happy to see I could help people in this thread get the game working.

Any yeah, Rupeeclock, I know what you mean. Even though it is fun (and reminds me of the days of old) it still does not feel EXACTLY the same.

But its still fun and an improvement over the other damned games recently.

If your lazy like me then use http://wiibrew.org/wiki/DOP-Mii:_WiiBrew_Edition to download and install ios 56, that is the only ios required. IOS53, 55 aren't needed. Im on 4.1u.

Hey guys, this is my NUS set-up

I get the WAD, but when I try to install it with WAD manager 1.3, I get ERROR (ret = -1).

Any idea why/How to fix this?

If your wii has internet access just use DOP-MII.
It will download and install the ios all in one operation. Otherwise I would recommend using a newer version of WAD manager than 1.3 and make sure your using a trucha signed ios to install with. If you've install hermes in the past use 222.

Oh well, I was using a 4.0u with cios 249. I just upgraded for 4.2u and installed the pack from this topic: http://gbatemp.net/t171901-modify-any-wii-4-3-below , Installed the wad and worked fully ;D

dl'd for xbla, but not worth the 1600ms points...

fantastic that it actually will be another 2D sonic game... which is good. ive only played the first level, but it seems fine. not sure what people are talking about to do with sonic physics, seems to handle as per usual, which again is good.
nice to see they bought back some of the older sprites for the loading and whatnot, which makes me want to believe that there is a way to hack the 2d sprites back into the game, and feel all nostalgic about it.

Thanks, I used WAD manager 1.7 (Which has a less friendly interface for some reason) and the WADs installed. Thanks =D

Mediocre game imo

Not very fun, Sonic's acceleration is sluggish and takes away from the high speed feel, and the bonuis levels are tedious and slow kinda like the rest of the game

Ahhh damn sorry Awesome Turtwig. came by a bit too late... glad somebody helped you though. =)

Was checking out the Super Scribblenauts Hype thread. chaos over there lol.

The game is really fun and it also looks great. I thought the Wii version would have awful graphics compared to the PS3, 360, and iPhone but for now it looks like it has better graphics then the iPhone version. And its much better too gameplay wise. Although its very hard to jump from one platform into the next one like in that Casino level 2 place where you have to jump on the cards, its really hard and I always die.

Hi guys, I thought I'd ask over here since everybody was so helpful earlier.
Now Sonic 4 works fine after I installed cios X 19 and IOS 53, 55 and 56, but for some reason my wii no longer recognizes my usb hdd!
This is a v big deal for me since I no longer use discs and have every channel custom made to load games from the usb hdd. Any idea which change was the one that did this? And if it's possible to go back somehow?
Thanks again and of course I'm sorry that this is off topic.

it's out now so: http://gbatemp.net/t259541-sonic-4-wiiware

 

[foolontehill]

Does it work with triiforce?

 

[Suiseiseki]

I was wondering if there will be a homebrew level editor similar to the NSMB games.

use the bottom usb port. I assume you were using a very old cIOS where that didn't matter.

I'm pretty sure I tried both ports - I'll have to try again later on today. Just to give a few more details, I'm trying to load games from a usb wbfs hdd via channels created using "loadstructor" based on cloader.
Could I simply install cIOS rev 17 or even earlier? Or does downgrading not work like that?

Just got home from a long Canadian Thanksgiving weekend... to find Sonic 4 is out! Found the wad pretty quickly and just got a chance to try it. It totally brings back the classic feel and memories. Wii version looks pretty good too, almost no need or want to go get the HD versions once out on PSN/XBLA. Probably only get a few hours before I'm bored with it... but it brings back great memories.

you can install the cIOS you used before, mabe that helps. or update your usb loader to the newest version. Usually there is also a usb loader version, that runs on hermes 222, you can try that too.

The Wiiware game des not need a cios for playing (but ios56), only for installing (or any other ios with the fakesigning bug)

Thanks, I'll try both things you suggested!
