I think it's hilarious how a game that works perfectly is nuked because it's not quite a clean dump, because of some update data that players need to remove anyway for the game to work right, but a DS game that isn't clean (horrible intro, broken crack) is considered SUPERIOR to a clean dump by the scene nowadays.

I have a Wiikey with 1.99 beta installed and it updated the system fine. But, when it restarted, whenever I inserted the disc, after it read the Wii Remote would just lockup and not do anything and the disc channel wouldn't show anything. I'm running it in Gecko OS just fine though. Weird. Don't know if it gets past the known freezing point, will find out though.


updating ur wii with a modchip in it is a good way to break your discdrive (happened to mine)
lol ure completely wrong with modchips nothing can happen, just softmodders may brick their wii while updating an old config, ure the first hardmodder braking his drive while updating, congrats


i doubt i am the first, others are just too "scared" to admit it

and i had a Wiikey too latest firmware and everything.
and the only softmod i had was HBC before the drive broke

"whenever I inserted the disc, after it read the Wii Remote would just lockup and not do anything and the disc channel wouldn't show anything. I'm running it in Gecko OS just fine though." EXACTLY what happened to me too
and after a while my Discdrive stopped working completely
probably the softmod broke ur drive never the modchip

just open ur wii and check all connection to the drive. whatever it was, its not the modchip, as it has no real possibility to give instruction to the drive and while update its doing nothing,

a modchip interferes somewhere between the operating system and the Drive's firmware to make it read all discs.
if the modchips firmware isnt "attuned" to the firmware/OS of the wii YES it stops functioning properly and might give the discdrive wrong commands and BREAK it.


BUT let's get back on TOPIC now before the GM's scold us

This is a PROPER release as iND's release was underdumped and missing data.
Whilst we normally don't post PROPERS as separate releases this is the first 'real' release of the game so I suppose it should be left to stand.

:P lol.
i think i have a freaking usenet virus or something too, thusfar my antivirus can't find anything but when i'm downloading This release of Metroid Other M, i get a file named MEET THE FOCKERS (or something) in my temporary folder of grabit :S

anyone else have this?

it also didnt move the files from the temp folder the way it should have and a LOT of them (that did transfer) were damaged.

checking the same NZB on my laptop to see if i get the same thing. if not it MIGHT be time to reinstall my computer -_-

That's still not allowed.
That's just like asking for a site for isos. You have the nzb's and you have a whole bunch of warez.

We're not supposed to post warez to prevent GBAtemp from getting into legal trouble. I think.
Ask a staff member!
Plenty of members admit they download stuff illegally.

Please help.
I am downloading the Wii Tard's dump of this game.
Can someone please give me the rundown on how I load this game on a Softmodded Wii.

Here is what I have on the Wii for loading Wii Burned Discs.
Neo Gamma R8 BETA Ver 15
IOS 36 V 4.18
Homebrew Channel 1.0.6
IOS249 Rev 14
A DVD - R

If I need a dual layer disc then where do I find ones that I can write data to?

I still can't get it past the Baby's Cry cutscene. I burned it to a DVD+R DL using ImgBurn at 2.4x and layer break set to 2084960. I installed cIOS38r17 to IOS249, then installed Hermes 202, 222, 223, and 224 using the recommended settings. Tried booting through Gecko OS 1.9.3.1 and NeoGamma R9 Beta 44.

Was removing the update partition a full requirement to get this to work?

I dont really understand. I downloaded a dump of this game 2 days ago and it works fine. I was almost 8GB and i put it right on my Wiiflow and have been playing since. If a good version didnt come out until today then how was I able to play?

It was nuked. To count as a proper scene release, the release must be a 100% 1:1 copy of the game. That version had the update partition removed, so it couldn't be a scene release.

So is this game confirmed working? I havent burned it yet so I dont want to waste a DL disk for nothing. Do I have to put in a layer break or do I just pop it in and play it? I have firmware 4.0 soft modded WITH a mod chip
