Try loading it from USB with Neogamma. I've tried both GX and Wiiflow and both had bugs and were broken in some way. Neogamma might not have all the flashy cover art and graphics but it gets the job done and hasn't let me down on a single game yet.

thanks for the quick reply, but the way i got my hdd set up only wiiflow, usbloader gx and configuable usb loader works,

i got it set up with 2 partions, the first a fat pation is where i store covers and config and the 2nd as the wbfs partion, and i have tried usb with neogamma at first and had problems

plus i like wiiflow as a personal preference, super paper mario is my only trouble, even the new NSMB works

Maybe it's because you have seperate partitions? I've owned Super Paper Mario for a while now. I can load it through usb loader gx, but I haven't tested it with wii flow. I have almost the oppisite problem where nsmbw won't load through usb loader gx, only through wii flow. btw, my console is NTSC, 4.0U, cios rev 16, and my hdd only has one wbfs partition. Super paper Mario is ntsc also.

my usb hdd have 2 partitions, one fat and the other is wbfs. i have no problems running any game using neogamma or uLoader. yeah the GUI is not that fancy, but all of the games i have, including paper mario, runs off my loaders and cios 222(uLoader) or 249(neogamma).

better try uLoader.

i tried uLoader last night, excatly the same problem,

what i have now also found using wiiflow is if i have the burnt disc in but load it from usb it works, so its trying to spin up of the disc

there should be a patch to stop it from spinning up the disc for Super paper mario

I know this is probably of no use to you at all, but paper mario works fine on my setup.

system menu 4.1, 250gig external hdd, with a 30gig fat32 partition and 200gig wbfs, wiiflow 1.1, waninkokos cios38 rev14 etc.

also used to work fine with gx back when i used it.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
