Wii #XXXX - Metroid: Other M (USA)

[Popid]

For people asking if you really need to remove the update partition - I definitely had to, otherwise it froze. That's with CG usbloader, no idea about discs but I'd do it.

Dkangel: I thought it'd been removed too, but...not so much

Mariosonic: wbfs is a format that compresses the iso to save space and to boot through usbloaders etc. I convert my isos to .wbfs with a tool called wbfs_file, others use Wii Backup Manager - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=188295 . Usually that's all I have to do but in this case manually removing the update partition first, with Wiiscrubber, proved necessary to get beyond the Distress Signal bit

but now I have other issues apparently, so. heh

Well, I'm gonna burn a few different DVDs once the download is done and see what happens... IF any of you can shoot down any of these right away, let me know:

-Verbatim DVD-R with ImgBurn, default settings
-Pro4Media DVD+R with ImgBurn, layer break set.
-Pro4Media DVD+R with ImgBurn, incremental mode and layer break.

Also all of those variations but with the update partition removed. All burned at the lowest possible speed. I'll be booting with neogamma r9 and cIOS249-rev17.

popid - maybe it's cios related? i only have instaled cios 249 (at least neogamma says ios 249) i think....
can you instal other cios without fear of doing any sort of damage to your wii console?

maybe i need the latest version of neogamma? will it work with the current cios i have?

I dont know if you wrote that by mistake, or if you didnt know.

But none of those will work, since you will need Dual Layer DVD to burn on.


On another note, i tried booting the game from CFG Loader, with IOS set to 222 and it worked right away, Been playing for awhile now... Lovely game!

 

[Popid]

re: my latest problem/freeze. I just tried booting with 222 instead of 249 and this time it got past the freeze though the sound cut out for a second in the cutscene still, but now right after the freeze im stuck in the subsequent hallway cos every time I walk up to the green door it comes up on the screen "Now Loading"...

I dunno if I'll keep trying options tonight cos it takes a while to get trhough the cutscenes plus u need to play a bit in between them which makes it doubly annoying...grr though I'm really loving the game. Maybe I should grab another iso overnight in case it's that but blah I dunno

Install to Cios Rev20b

Just need to install and set over crash

Obviously all are dual layers, forgot to write that. >_>

Been playing since this morning and loving it so far. It's basically Metroid Fusion in 3D. I doubt it will be better than the Primes, but we'll see about that when I finish it.

Anyway, I need help. I'm in the big room with the spiral way in the middle (not the big room with the plant in the middle) where on top you jump into a hole and fall a lot. Then at the bottom it automatically goes into 1st person and I assume I'm supposed to find and scan something now. But what? Anyone already been here?

 

[rasputin]

Ihave the game working on dual layer +r disc with a wiikey 1 using the suggested layer break from ssbb. But only tested booting from Gecko-os on a PAL wii.

The 'Metroid.Other.M.NTSC.WII-XB3' release has the update intact and the main disc channel shows 'system update' with the disc inserted. How can I remove the update from the iso? so I can burn another copy, I don't want the kids to accidentally update the wii to NTSC 4.3!

I looked at brickblocker 1.3r2 but on pressing the 'info' button it reports that it's not a valid ISO ?? anyone know if it's still ok to press the 'patch' button? or should I use another method of update removal?

Sorry,I can't help,for my download has not finished yet.It's super slow,and i'm going to have to stop in the middle of it later,so I wont be playing it intill late tonight or tomorrow.

But I have a qustion.How are you playing this?USB loader,like most everyone else,or with a DL DVD?

It's very unimpressive so far. My biggest question is why the hell they didn't make the game Nunchuck/Wiimote? I mean it's a pretty obvious choice. moving around in a 3-D environment is far easier on an analog stick than a D-Pad. Plus you have the Wiimote always pointed at the screen so just putting the first person mode to a button seems easy. Plus you get more buttons for more stuff.

Controls just seem very meh, story isn't unfolding to be epic at this point, every just seems average. I wouldn't say it's even better than Metroid Prime and Prime ranks pretty low in my books.

I think they put it wii mote for the fact that the game has alot of Side-scrolling parts.And think about people who had the PS1 back in the day with the original controllers for it.It was D-pad,and used for 3D games too.Not that hard to go around in a 3D world with a D-Pad.

So far all I've had is 3D parts. And odds are there's a majority of 3D instead of 2D, so it seems pretty common sense to put it with an analog. Plus I'm sure I heard plenty of people dropping the D-Pad in favor of an analog stick in games like NSMB Wii.

If they were trying to appeal to the crowd back during the older days of Metroid they would've given them a 2-D sidescroller Metroid like they wanted, not this.

Finished the story line around 1:30 this morning. Damn good game. Now I'm working on the post game stuff. Yes, there is stuff to do AFTER you finish the main part of the game. I've only played about 10 minutes of the post game stuff but it gets much more difficult. I'm really anxious to see what official reviews are going to say.

Yeah,guess your right.But you know Team Ninja.(Wich i bet is the whole reason why there are 3D parts like that)

The game still seems like it's pretty good,though..I do think they should have allowed more controller methods.Classic Controller might would work pretty good.

And people acturally used the nunchuck for NSMB Wii?I tryed it,but didnt like it.And when Donkey Kong Country Returns comes out,i'll be using a wii mote sideways on that game too.Not Nunchuck.(only showed nunchuck on demos,but its comfirmed to be compatable with Wii Mote)

is this worth getting? I remember getting metroid prime trilogy and I didn't like it at all. Is this better?

 

[Reckless]

How long did you play?

Already completed it?Damn,must be short.Are there like other things to collect that arnt needed,like Super Metroid?As in other missle containers and stuff?

And by the way,how are you playing this?Offical game,USB loader,DL Disc,?Wich one?I'm just asking because because i dont have a USB harddrive,so i cant play on USB loader.I have to play by disc.

Classic controller wouldn't work since you need the Wiimote to aim.

I've heard people saying analog worked great in NSMB Wii. I used the D-Pad but I still need to try the Nunchuck.

/puts on Flame Suit.....
I'd say so. I think I liked this better than the Prime series just because it takes me back to the days of old school Metroid. This is definitely nothing like the Prime series for sure, but it's a really good adaptation of Metroid from a fresh perspective.
