The game loads fine and I can play without any issues for 6+ hours straight. However, sometimes I take a break and open up the home menu while I'm away. If I keep the home menu for a long time the game acts weird when I continue playing. For a couple of seconds, the game runs fine. Then the BGM stops playing and I lose control over my characters. I can't even open up the home menu. The game is still playing as I can see my characters idle animation. This happens with wiiflow and USB loader GX.

You should try it with another game
I have never had this problem with Xenoblade Chronicles

 

Is this on a loader? Is your hard drive going to sleep?

 

Yes, it's on a loader. Is there anyway for me to disable sleeping on my hard drive?

 

Does the signal for inactivity come from being in the home menu for too long? Or can it go to sleep even if I just stop playing without opening a menu and not turning off my wii?

 

My hard drive is a Toshiba MK5065GSX, and I searched for diagnostic tools by Toshiba and couldn't find one. I tried Ashampoo and it gives me an error when trying to disable APM. Something about my drive being incompatible or something like that.

I've been playing for hours without problems, unless I open up the home menu and keep it on for more than 2 hours.

 

I'll just try my spare WD hard drive. Does WD have a tool for it's storage drives that disables APM?

 

Oh, I don't remember - it was 2 years ago. It was a stupidly short amount of time though - about a minute. Most games didn't even boot, the rest bugged up immediately after booting.

 

Hmmmm after 4 hours on the home menu, Xenoblade works fine. Although my WD drive did get a little bit hot.

 

Yeah, I know. Sometimes I go to the washroom and forget about the game after.
