Hacking USB Loaded games can't get past warning screen / Now Loading

[Xenoman]

Hello!

I've managed to get a hard drive enclosure working to the point where USB Loader can see the games installed and launch them. However, of the two games I've tried (Super Smash Bros. NTSC and Mario Kart NTSC), I can't actually get into the game.

Mario Kart won't progress past the warning screen (the white one with the strap warning).

Brawl gets past the warning screen, displays the ESRB Online warning, and then stays at the Now Loading screen infinitely.

I've tried switching the drive to Master from Cable Select; this doesn't do anything.

I've tried different loaders; all seem to have the same problem.

Anyone else know of a fix to this problem? I've scoured the forums and can't seem to find anyone who's encountered this specific problem.

What cIOS rev do you have installed?

Thanks for the reply!

At the moment, cIOS rev13b. I'll try cIOS rev9 presently, but I thought I already tried downgrading that...

Hmm. I downgraded to cIOS rev9 and my Wii coudl no longer recognize my hard drive.

Are you certain there is nothing wrong with your hard drive? If you have to, you could always try formatting the drive then re=ripping games to it.
