Weeeelp, as usual, I couldn't sleep, and I have school tomorrow, so of course I wasn't planning to sleep anyways.
So, a week ago I finished Majoras 3D.
And in order to not fall asleep today, decided that I should speed run Majoras 64 (today I have nothing to do)
So I blew the dust from my Zelda Collectors Edition, put the game on my Wii and proceeded to play Majoras.
I was playing just fine, until I got the Ocarina from the Imp.
Then, as you know, you have to play the Song of Time in order to progress.
I did but EXACTLY AS I FINISHED playing the song, an error appeared.

The same error that appears when the Gamecube's laser dies.
The:
"An error occurred. Please turn of your console and refer to the user's manual"

A long time ago (talking about 6 or even 10 years, can't remember) I experienced some freezing while playing this particular version of Majoras on my Gamecube. That's why I finished the 3d version.

Does anyone else has experienced this same error with this specific game?
Or is my laser about to die?
For your information, I only have Mario Kart Wii, so I have NEVER used double layer discs. And I stopped playing that game since WFC shutdown.

Any suggestions?

My guess would be that the game itself is scratched. Could you inspect the disc for me and report back whether or not it is scratched?

Yes, I thought so. But actually is not scratched. And surprisingly, Zelda I, Zelda II and Zelda OoT works just fine.

Also, I just discovered something:
When playing the "Retrospective" it reboots my Wii

IF its a problem of the console, it should happen the same thing with pretty much every disc based game, no?
Right now I downloaded a Majoras WAD and that's what I'm playing now.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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
