So far, the games that don't work for me are (I'm on 3.2U w/ Wiikey 1.9s):

Disaster Day of Crisis (PAL but WIIZLED to NTSC-U, screen shuts off when I try to start it)
Mario Kart Wii (NTSC-U, Don't know why it works for others, mine gets stuck on the Health screen)
Deadly Creatures (NTSC-U, Green screen then reboots to System Menu)

Well, if you installed a game and it doesn't work then the problem could be the disc....Usb Loader continues to install even if it couldn't read some part of the disc or even if you turn off the usb device

for compatiability, it's best to install from iso files from the pc

My list of games that isn't working so far:

GW: Galaxies (backup disc of this no longer works either)
House of the Dead 2 & 3 Returns (which I think might be a Japanese NTSC version)
Medal of Honor Heroes 2
Red Steel
SSX Blur

The list of games that is working is much longer though.

I tried to use ISOs instead of original or backup discs for all games I have had problems with. Still remaining errors (with this ISO-Versions) in Loader v1.1:
- House of the Dead: Overkill (dancing mutants, game stucked) - appearing from time to time in different levels (means: randomly)
- Okami crashes now and then with graphics freezed and a loud noise playing (same with SM Galaxies, but that's no ISO copy atm).
- Metroid Prime 3 needs some disc (minor, as every disc runs)

As far as I tried them, all other games worked. Since freezes appear randomly, I'm not shure though. May come to errors if playing them more than a few minutes. I wouldn't enter games to the list before playing them at least an hour.

[Edit] All games are PAL versions.

Same problem with Okami (PAL version) , freezes after few minutes of playing :/
I played other games without any issue...

I'll try to re-install the iso on my HD, but I don't know if that can solve the problem...

[edit] I use USB Loader V1.1 for playing, and wbfs.exe for windows for installing games

please only post comments on backups that you ripped on your computer, then installed on your harddrive with the tools, NOT through the wii usb loader install! It's buggy
for originals use 1.0 to install it @ wii tho

For me, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (PAL, DVD-9 version) freezes after few minutes of playing. Every other game works fine.

can anyone confirm online game play with this Game cause i dump'd it and it plays great but can't seem to get online,it connects but no one ever shows up to join i've only tried a few times though

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes Of Time

edit:

Even playing regular mode, the game locks up after the first main enemy battle, anyone experiencing these problems??

i'll try re-dumping, but the game seems unplayable to me

this NSTC by the way
on v1.1 loader

i'll try the 1.0 and see if it works


edit Once Again



Using V1.0 Loader fixes the problem, GAME now plays great, i no longer need a response

Okami seems to be working for everybody, but I'm not having any luck with it. It and Cooking Mama freeze immediately after a quick green flash (black and white screens, respectively, although CM got me to the "create system data" screen the first time).

Any ideas where I could start looking for the cause of this? I've gotten the same results on two thumb-drives and I'm waiting on a proper external drive in the mail, which I assume will not solve the problem.

Edit: I'm using USBL 1.5 and WBFM, and the Okami size is 3.56GB

    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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
