Works fine on CFG USB Loader for me as long as I use 'Force NTSC' and Hermes cIOS (223, base57).

No one is talking about uLoader and Xenoblade. I'll assume it plays this game fine.

I've tried everything to get this to load on a USB loader and EVERY single time it hangs on the Reading Disk black screen. 5 different USB loaders...CIOS 222, 223, 224 IOS 249. IOS 250. D2x V6 base 37. I've done it all. I tried to force NTFC and still no go.

Burning on DL disk now since I'm so sick of this....

It was stated before that you most likely need d2x with base IOS56 or 57(maybe only one of them works), or the same base for Hermes cIOS. Try that please. And also, since it's a PAL game, force PAL480i/PAL60 until the game works.

You can't force the PAL version of the game to run in NTSC 480i, i think not even with video mode patches. Running the game in 480p is reported to work on the other hand.

I'm playing Xenoblade with cIOS249 rev17 [base38] and it works fine.

Just stop trying cIOS randomly, if it doesn't work it's because there's no NTSC signal in the game, not because the cIOS is bad.
when you say that you "tested everything", it's false, you only tested cIOSes.
Users reported that "Force NTSC" fixed it.

Though, it should work without changing the video signal, as they are all included (PAL and NTSC).

They are kind enough to include NTSC for american people pirating it

I'm using CFG loader and every Cios I've tried boots the game fine, but in game it keeps telling me to reconnect the nunchuck once in a while. No other game does this so I doubt it's a controller issue. I've tried Cios d2x base 56&57 and hermes 222 base 57.

Don't know why mine wont work, Installed the cIOS D2x v6, tried booting in both USB Loader GX 2.2, it loads the wiimote warning and then black screen and in CFG USB v70 it just hands at IOS Reload: Blocked.

Ah, that would be why it worked for me.
