Hacking Distorted sound and freezes on installed wads

[ferdi-t]

Hello friends,

I just registered here, but this forum has helped me out many times in the past.

At the moment I am working on my friend's Wii. I successfully downgraded it from 3.4e to 3.2e. Patched it with Starfall to make region-free. HBC works fine, as does the backup launcher. WADs install fine too, but I have some trouble running them.

- N64 wads have a terribly distorted sound
- Other VC-games wont start. I can get to the splash screen and start them, but from there I get a black screen (no errors) and the Wii freezes - needing a hard reset to get back.

Wiiware runs fine.

Anybody any clues as to what to do next?

First, 3.2 and starfall are *LONG* outdated. They've been obsolete for a year now. Also, be glad it didn't brick. Downgrading a new console typically causes it to brick.

Follow this: http://gbatemp.net/t171901-modify-any-wii-4-2-below That will bring the system up to date.

As for your VC issues, those may be due to missing/outdated IOSes (that black screen is a classic symptom of a missing IOS). That guide above will fix it (assuming the IOSes were the problem).

Thank you for your reply. I followed the proposed guide to the letter. I'm on 4.2e right now, but the problem is still the same: distorted sound on N64-games and freezes on other games. Wiiware still works fine.

Any clues as to what do next?

First, do you have bootmii as boot2? Last thing I want to see is a bricked wii.

Can you make a signcheck log using DOP-Mii or MMM and post it?

Distorted sound seems like the Legend of Zelda collectors edition all over again, sometimes a little bad sound on Ocarina of Time, and sometimes crashes on Majora's Mask - which have been a reason to make a N64 emu for the GC.
