Do any USB Loaders run this game? I've tried 4 and none work. I get to the screen that says "Reading Disk" and it hangs... Using 249 v56 I believe. All other games I've tried work.

he probably has a US Wii and can't buy it. he can't even import it cause fricken Wii is region-locked. now if there is some way to buy the game disc and play it on a US Wii, then that's another story (and if there is, i'd like to hear it).

as per quote from my private trackers comments.

i cannot make it work on Wiiflow or USB Loader GX. I am running an old version of cios, can't remember which one, as it has been months since I have used my wii. When I load it, it says Reading Disc, then pops up with the error had occured screen

EDIT: Made it work using Hermes CIOS 223, woo!

I quote the OP of this post:
QUOTEDo any USB Loaders run this game? I've tried 4 and none work.
So, obviously he's already hacked. Now, there are two things that he can do:

Import Game from one of the various sites that offer this service,
  • Rip it with one of his USB-Loaders, force a correct Videomode (*this may not work, but until know, only Pikmin 2 is a problem game, afaik. Also, this user already has it working), done, enjoy.
  • Install Startpatch, or Priiloader, or use Banana Hacks to disable the Region-Lock, and use GeckoOS if you have problems with the colors (again, force a videomode), done, enjoy.
See, there's no reason not to buy it. Only if you are a dirty pirate and don't care about an US-Release for the other, legitimate users there (simply put, you're a di*k). Oh, and the best part: Until you recieve your legal copy which will fill you with pleasure, probably all Loaders will have the game working.

I've read various report that the game is working fine in config and GX. So it's certainly the settings.

Did you try to Force NTSC? as it's a PAL game, maybe you need to force the output video to NTSC.
Or force the game to select PAL signal included in the game instead of the console default.
Also, other users said they made it work with Hermes cIOS (223, but didn't give the base. Try base57). D2x base56 is also working. (read the release thread, there are various contradictory reports, but they didn't told their video settings)

I can't seem to transfer the iso to my hard drive...

I'm using Wii Backup Manager by the way and every time I load the iso, it says "file added" but I don't see it appearing on the left side and having a check box. It's odd too that the filename is colored in red on the right side after loading the iso. Any help would be appreciated.

It doesn't have any errors apparently:

14:05:46 Add Files Open dialog shown
14:05:49 Add Files Open dialog returned true
14:05:50 AddFilesThread Thread started
14:05:50 AddFilesThread File count 1
14:05:51 AddFilesThread Valid discs found 0
14:05:51 AddFilesThread Thread terminated

I'm actually kinda new to this.

Please help me.

I am stuck on the Reading Disk screen. I've tried a bunch of different USB loaders and I get the same result on all of them.

Now I am not that fluent with the scene so please help me out.

How do I switch to CIOS 223 Hermes? I'm not sure if I even have it installed. In the USB loaders I goto the config option for the game and have selected IOS 249, 222,223,224 ect with the same result. Is this how you switch to CIOS? When I load CFG USB loader the numbers on the bottom right corner show V70 and IOS 249. In the Homebrew Channel, it says I'm running IOS 70.

Again, I'm at a loss. All my other games works. I have a WBFS partition on my USB drive.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you!

The program doesn't recognize your game content/partition.


@Starzboy : Do not post the same message multiple time in many topic.
Just pick one.
