Hacking Zelda Skyward Sword returning to wii menu!

[WiiPower]

Which cIOS are you using right now? d2x v6 with base IOS56 has a faster usb module, possibly better stability, possibly better usb compatiblity and a better games compatiblity than the cIOS from Waninkoko. Just install it if you haven't done it yet.

 

[cobleman]

I agree WiiPower d2x v6 base 56 is the best for compatability.
The 1st time i launched Skyward sword in UsbLoaderGx with default settings it went to the 3 minute video 1st then continued to the game.
I never ajust settings in GX anymore unless the game needs USB support for instruments or it needs a base 57 cios.
P.S. I only had to watch the video because i have a PAL Wii ( i have watched the PAL version already)and am playing NTSC Zelda

i use wiiflow 2.0 and cIOS Wani rev21 base IOS56 without any problem (i have buy the game and ripped my self)

 

[GandW]

THNX gbatemp again!

It works fine now, just dowloaded the pal version instead of the ntsc. I hope it wont go in black screne when i am playing!

Gbatemp saved me again!!!!

Thank you guys for fast reply, and I wanna know what the files that I have to download for d2x and where to place them in SD. Tha't's because I followed one guild and I got confused, so I got an error while doing d2x.

 

[Cyan]

If you could launch 2dx installer from HBC, then it was correctly placed.

SD:/apps/folder_name_you_want/boot.dol
SD:/apps/folder_name_you_want/and all files and folders given with d2x installer here too.


If you use the wad files created by modmii, the I guess you place them in SD:/wad/
and use a Wad manager to install them.

 

[Necro Gardna]

Hi brother Cyan, and I hope you are doing great.

Well, I'm sorry for late responding that's because I came yesterday from the work at evening and I didn't have time to check/reply the thread. Once again I really appreciate your help and you are so kind with me to solve this problem, so thank you so much.

What I did:
1. Placed ISO245[37]-v7b1d.wad - ISO246[38]-v7b1d.wad - ISO247[53]-v7b1d.wad - ISO248[55]-v7b1d.wad - ISO249[56]-v7b1d.wad - ISO250[57]-v7b1d.wad - ISO251[58]-v7b1d.wad in SD:/wad/ (wad folder)
2. Opened wad manager > 249 > install > the above wads (do I have to use d2x, and how?)
3. Opened USB Loader > run Zelda > Black screen again (I used normal sitting as DK)

PS. Remember that I cannot get the opening movie of ZSS by disc, now I finished the 1st dungeon (except the boss) that when I enter the boss room, I get " Disc cannot read"... So USB Loader is my last hope lol X)

Guys, I'll reply tomorrow, cuz I came late from work today also, so take your time and thx againfor all your help one by one

Hi there, I have some issues starting up skyward sword, if someone could help me I would be very happy. When I load Skyward sword with the alt dol. the video of the wii motion plus start. Then It returns me to the wii menu. I restart the game but without the alt dol. and the game stays in a black screen. It doesnt shows me anything but the wii control is on...
I have Ios 249 [38] rev 17 and Ios 250 [38] rev 17.
I also have Ios 222 [38] v4
Ios 223 [37] hermes v55.1
Ios 224 [57] hermes v55.1

For the d2x I have v7alpha5:
Ios 245 [37]
Ios 246 [38]
Ios 247 [53]
Ios 248 [55]

I used d2x on 249 and 250 but it still didn´t worked

If you use discs or a wbfs partition, please try with the latest NeoGamma version:
http://gbatemp.net/topic/219243-neogamma-r9-beta-test/

And post if it warns you about anything.

 

[JorgeCl]

neogamma didn´t worked too. It doesn´t matter thanks.
It stayed the same. The problem could be the game or the problem is on the cios I have installed?
I already downloaded 3 different files of skyward sword and it they didn´t worked.
If I could get another solution I would be grateful.

 

[JorgeCl]

Have you played skyward sword?
If you had (WiiPower), could you tell me which ios you have installed on your wii?

 

[Gaiaknight]

skyward sword works for me on every loader gx, cfg, wiiflow, neogamma with zero problems using D2X v6 base 56 in slot 249

 

[Necro Gardna]

Hi guys,

Well, seems I solved the problem. If you use this thread, you will be fine to run ZSS. That's because the instruction of these great nice people (RockmanForte, Cyan, WiiPower) are 100% correct. So please follow it step by step. For people who have same problem as I "HAD", the problem is because of the USB (flash memory). That it can run normal games as DK but not ZSS. My friend converted ZSS with cfg and placed it into HDD and it worked in my Wii! We converted ZSS with cfg and placed it into USB flash memory and I got frozen black screen. So the problem is the USB (the device). In addition, I'll play it on DVD-R and the best speed is x3 (My friend told me don't burn the game with more than x3, it will damage your DVD driver in Wii).

PS. Forget to tell you NTSC has a bug, so better PAL (I wasn't able to watch the opening)

I'd like to thank all people who helped me, assisted me, and spent their time searching to solve this problem for me one by one, specially for RockmanForte, Cyan and WiiPower, thank you so much guys and I wish if I can give you some gifts for you kindness, and I wish you all the best

Necro

If you have the return to channel function enabled in CFG, d2x v6+ installed and CFG installed as channel, then the game wants to load the system menu, but it's redirected to CFG. So this is exactly your issue.

 

[KyuubiNemesis]

Hey guys, first time poster here. I am running Skyward Sword on my 32gb Kingston USB drive. The game works wonderfully in NeoGamma and CFG USB Loader. My only issue is when I try to exit to the wii menu, my wii locks up and my TV says no signal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: I just tried other games and they exit to Wii menu just fine.

 

[mabeard]

I don't understand why you tell him to find Wii sport resort, why burning a DVD too, it's not needed at all as he already has it listed in USBloaderGX.

Zelda has all the needed files.
The video for Wii motion + is in Zelda!

Instruction With USBLoaderGX:
1. go into the settings of Zelda


2. Turn "Alternative dol" to "Select a dol"


3. click the next line


4. IF it show you this menu:

Then select Video Motion+

5. IF you have a list of dol then select the only dol you see:



6. Accept to use this alt dol


7. Accept what it says now: (Don't contact a developer, it's already done by someone else)


8. save the Settings


9. Accept this, then press B to exit the setting menu.


10. Launch the game


It will launch the video instead of the game.
watch the video, it go back to Wii menu at the end of the video. DONE, you watched the Wii Motion+ video, you will never need it anymore.



NOW reload USBloaderGX.

11. Go into the settings of zelda, go to Page2, select "reset setting" and accept.


12. Press B to exit the setting menu.

Now, everytime you want to play, just launch Zelda like any other games. Don't go into the settings anymore.



And it's in spanish !
DO NO try to change any other options.
DO NOT use the same options as me, just follow the guide.

hey i have tried this and i keep getting the message not enough free space how much is needed

thanks

 

[Cyan]

I don't know which "free space" you are talking about.

This Alternative dol method is not needed anymore.
There's now an even easier solution.

1. Use latest cIOS d2x version
2. Go to Zelda settings:
- Enable "Block IOS Reload".
3. Save the settings.

4. Play

 

[cherito22]

hey, im sorta new to this but have a basic understanding of the steps. Ive been having a recent problem though. I have upgraded my wii flow from 2.1 to 3.1 today and am trying to run Skyward sword.It worked on 2.1 and still says i have watched the video, but it gives me a black screen and i have to unplug my wii in order to turn it off. I have re- soft modded and installed the wad fixes but nothing is working. Can anybody please Help?

 

[Fishaman P]

How about you upgrade from the crappy Wiiflow to the industry-standard Configurable USB Loader?
