i'll make it short:
i tried basically every tutorial online to get my Wii to run games from my USB-stick.
lastly i used ModMii to get a full tutorial on it, i did every step arcoding to the tutorial, no fails etc. everything worked fine
so here is the problem: i can start games of ANY usbloader but only once! After that they will allways freeze until i get a clean game on the usb stick
i can play them without problem, they load fast and everything, its just that it straight up doesnt work after i close the game, even trying to reset the game via menu causes a freeze.
the games should start via ios 249 ( atleast that's what cfg said ). Im fairly experienced with how a PS3 works and everything you need around it to succesfully jailbreak it, its
a ton of information, it took me 2 weeks to get my particular problem fixed, maybe i wont need this long with my Wii ( jk im basically impersonated misfortune )

tl.dr
Fat32 usb, gets recognized
games only boot up once, then only again if i get a clean game file on my usb stick
no matter what i tried fixed it ( force PAL60 and such stuff )
used ModMii install tutorial, everything went smoothly.
Reddit cant help me :^)
i guess the isos im using are working ( i mean i can start and play the game, but just once )
anyone got ideas? or maybe even fixes?

im also interested to why this happens, so if anybody got some info about that, i'd welcome it

Hello,

The usb keys work badly or not with the wii, test with an external hard drive, it will work much better.

I even had to test with usb keys, it made me black screen.

You can try formatting it as WBFS instead of FAT32 and it might work. You just can't use it for emuNAND.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep

    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with uremum

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • 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
