Homebrew Trying to load an NTSC-K game on a PAL vWii

[eeL20]

Hi
I'm using a homebrewed vWii on a PAL Wii U, with an external USB drive and USB Loader GX
I'm trying to run a Korean game but to no success (black screen and crash), all of my other correct-region games on the drive load good so I ruled out the drive being the issue.
I've tried using the settings in USB Loader to change the language or video mode but didn't fix anything.
I also copied the .WBFS directly to the drive because Wii Backup Manager couldn't add it and displayed an error

I think i copied the game title correctly, as the little menu banner and song plays before starting the game

if wii backup manager didn't like the game, it could be a bad rip. But yes please do share the game title

i am using wiiflow lite
I'm on vWii and wii Pal and the game works without having to change anything in the settings
I assume your ISO might be a bad rip

Using "Wiimms ISO Tool" to add standard common key to your korean Wii games.

wit edit "your korean games" --common-key 0

please share a syscheck and make sure your cIOSs are updated, d2x cIOSs have addressed the Korean Common Key

Also note that even non-d2x cIOSs constructed by ModMii that are not base 38 have been modified to include the korean key patch; from ModMii 4.6.0 changelog:

• The Korean Key patch was added to ALL the cIOSs ModMii builds that do not use IOS38 as base. This will allow non-Korean Wii's to load Korean games.

So in this way the cIOSs constructed by ModMii are slightly better than those created by the official cIOS installers (not counting d2x, those are identical).

Edit: as mentioned below, don't install wii cios on vWii, modmii is for wii only

be careful not to install the cIOS Wii as you are on vWii

Good Morning.

1. Im pretty sure the iso is good because it plays normally on dolphin

That has nothing to say - Dolphin is an EMULATOR,the (v)Wii with an USBLoader is the real Hardware.
The vWii is only a slower clocked / some Parts disabled / some Parts "flipped" (but the 3 Cores of the Wii U CPU are still there...) and without Systemsettings / some disabled Exploits and other Game relevant Things..)

On Dolphin 99,99 % of any Game is working,not really important how good the Rip or Preservation File is.

Nevermind, I overlooked that this was vWii. Since it's vWii and other games work u definitely have a d2x cios installed so Korean key shouldn't be an issue.

If u want to run syscheck anyway just follow this

Have u tried switching from ios 249 to 250 or 251? Have u tried updating your USB loader to the latest version? Or trying a different loader all together?

"latest version" is a bit ambiguous these days, make sure you're running the latest from @blackb0x 's signature or oscwii.org
