Hey Guys this is my First Guide on how to Get Monster Hunter Tri Working on a SOFTMODDED Wii if any of you are Stuck

--------------------------------------------GUIDE------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a Brief Guide for any of you Wanting/Needing Help getting it to work or are Stuck at the the Black Screen with the "NNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAA....." Sound after Clicking "Begin Game" on the Main menu

[*]Make Sure your Wii is Softmodded.[*]Download "cIOSX rev19 by waninkoko" ------------------> Link: cIOSX rev19 by waninkoko[*]Copy the "cIOSXrev19-Installer" folder to the "Apps" folder on your SD Card[*]Make sure you have a Wi-Fi Connection AND DISCONNECT ANY GAMECUBE CONTROLLERS OR MEMORY CARDS! Then Open HBC and Launch "cIOSX Rev19..."[*]Choose "249" as the IOS[*]When asked for the "Base IOS" choose "IOS 37-v3869.wad"[*]Select "Network Install"[*]Download "Neogamma R9" ------------------> Link: NeoGamma R9[*]Launch "Monster Hunter Tri"[*]ENJOY!Note: Offline steps: Download IOS37-64-v3869.wad using NUS Downloader and place it in the SD card root. Then choose "Wad Install" instead of "Network Install"[/p]

This Worked Perfect for me and am Playing it Now

(FINALLY!) Not Sure if this will work on 4.2 as I have 3.2E, Sorry

I have found using this way has allowed my Metroid Prime Trilogy to Work Perfect too

One More thing Once this is installed (IOS-37....) you won't be able to use WAD Manager unless you re-install cIOSX Rev 19 and as the Base choose IOS-38 as WAD Manager uses IOS 38 as the base, Sorry

Untrue, the newest Wad manager & YAWMM will work with base 37 too - TJ

EDIT!: Corrected Some Steps in the Guide from Comments Below, Thanks Guys

You missed a step: The .dol for the cIOS installer needs to be renamed to boot.dol, after that the whole folder can be copied to the Apps folder.

try Configurable USB Loader

I basically did the same as this guide a week ago and it work fine, if your using the NTSC version make sure to set the TV to NTSC in the game options on the loader, if your using the PAL version leave it as default.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having said that now that I've got Monster Hunter Tri both of my other 2 games have stopped working and give the same error (only difference being the ID of the game)

The error I get is:-

Error: setting up fragments 0 1
ID mismatch: [RMCP01] []
ERROR: SetWBFS: -1


This happens on both of my other 2 games (which are Mario Kart Wii and Rune Factory Frontier) both of which worked before I did this.

EDIT:-

Could anyone check if these 2 games work for them? (both are PAL versions and they worked before)

EDIT2:-
also forgot to mention if your following this guide the OP forgot to mention that you MUST disconnect all gamecube controllers and memory cards from the Wii before you start

Thanks for your fast reply. i also tried cfgusbloader but same result as usbloadergx. could you tell me your settings in cfgusbloader?

and also what exactly is the problem your having?
is it that the loaders aren't able to find your WBFS partition?

are you using the PAL version or the NTSC version of Monster Hunter?

What I do Reccomend is to Downgrade your Wii to 3.2 as it will be More Compatible with Homebrew and alot less Messing about

I use a PAL Version of the Game on a PAL Wii and am Using Disc, Have always Used Disc and had No problems

Surely you can spend a Tenner and buy a 50 Pack of DVD -Rs?

    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
