Hacking Why I can't play Animal Crossing City Folk on gamma?

[Ashlee]

I just downloaded and it didn't work, it says the disc can not be read.
A friend of mine downloaded the game, the same like mine, and to him, the game worked perfectly, but why?
We both have the same version of the Wii, the game is in NTSC like my friend's, we downloaded from the same page.

All the others game work perfectly, but this one doesn't.

Any answers or comments will be acceptable

I not use it... but I guess this things:
1.
The backup loader uses a older IOS while AC CF uses a newer one... (it can't be played with out the new one)

2. Install Animal crossing fix wad (Witch just installs a new IOS on the system but you're not updating really)
That may will do the job...

AC:CF does work on Gamma. I have a copy of the US version and it runs fine on my PAL Wii through Gamma. The game will not load via the disc channel when rebooted for Gamma, but, it will load if Gamma is loaded and the game is played directly through Gamma.

Maybe you have a bad burn - burn it again.

Yeah I had trouble getting it to work from a 1:1 backup of my very own Ac:CF NTSC
what I did to get it to work with was run it through Ios Patcher1.1
and set it to Ios 30

And it also loads via disk channel

I thought you should patch it to ios249 !!!!!

 

[SirSweeps]

You know I have never tried patching to ios 249 so I can't say for it or against it but In my experience patching to Ios 30 or in extreme conditions Ios 33 have almost always worked for me.
My 1:1 Backups of my 20 or so games can't be wrong.
About 2/3 worked straight away and the others I had to Force either Ios 30 or 33
and then the few that still would not boot
I use an original game and let disk channel recognize it ... start gamma ... eject original ... insert Problem backup ... and use rebooter ...

Had the same problem. I switched to better media.

Verbatium DVD-R FTW.

Thanks everyone, I asked my friend and he said he had the Pal one, so I downloaded it, ant it works!
I don't know why it says on the gamma compatibility list that it works if if doesn't in NTSC

 

[picano]

But it does work on NTSC... I can confirm that. Then again, I am using an NTSC wii... not sure about you.

Most recent update I did was to 3.3(1) and I don't remember installing the Animal Crossing fix wad (though, I do have it on hand...).

Yes I have a NTSC Wii too, but it didn't work for me, I don't know why

 

[Slashmolder]

Using the NTSC version I burnt it and loaded with gamma on default settings at it worked fine. I installed the new ios that was need for it to run.

You need IOS38-64-v3609.wad then it should work, or obtain IOS 38 via other methods
