hello, so i got a wii and i followed this wii.guide to hack it using letterbomb and bla bla bla
i followed every step, and i did installed the cIOS properly, but i'm having a weird problem that i don't know how to solve, games always freezes/crashes, it changes depending on the game but it always happens, sometimes it's during the game and when entering any loading area it freezes, when it loads another menu or loads anything, it freezes forcing me to turn off the console, i'm using USBloaderGX and i tried to change the game's/loader's IOS but nothing changes, it seems like the wii simply stops reading the games or something like that, i'm using an external HDD in fat32

Try formating your hdd to WBFS and using a program like: http://www.wiibackupmanager.co.uk/
Also try to change the Usb Loading Port from 0 to both pots in the UsbLoader settings
i wanted to know if i could make a partition on my hdd just for wbfs because i use the same hdd to backup some files and to play games on xbox so i can't format it only for Wii

Sounds like its your HDD. The Wii can be picky, some hard drives work better then others. I thought there was a compatibility list?
it seems to be my hdd with the slow down/power save, i tried a chinese usb SDcard thing and games worked fine

Hello.:)

Yes you can.:)
Please Note,if you have other IMAGES/ISO/RAR/ZIP/7z Files on your HDD,then WiiBackupManager (the Tool used to get your Wii Games on the HDD) maybe also "find" it and maybe gives you an "Message" about that:

Nothing to worry about, but maybe something "confusing".:)

Thank you.:)

i'm thinking, will this even help??
my problem is with the hdd spindown/power save thing
i tried to use seagate driver settings to disable power save but none of their tools recognizes my hdd so i can't really disable it, and i can't find anything to disable this thing

  • 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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
