      Yay! I'm happy my Wii is fine now since it drove me crazy until recently
      Also, if anyone is having problems with UFC Personal Trainer freezing (and your Wii is generally just fine) all you need to do is turn off the internet while you are playing it and there will be no problem anymore.
      I play it on ios 248.

      I'm having trouble with Kirbys Adventure/Return to Dreamland. It crashes when entering the Lor Starcutter, I just get a black screen with the music playing, the mote & reset button stops working and I have to power off. Same thing happens on WiiFlow, Configurable USB Loader and USBLoader GX. I tried reripping, I even got the NTSC version and same thing, loads just fine but entering the ship crashes it. I have black 4.3E softmodded wii using mauifrogs guide. I just let the loaders load using their default settings, haven't fiddled with anything (except for updating WiiFlow to the current version), not in the loaders nor on the Wii itself after modding. Any ideas? thnx.

      I think I'm using the correct IOS, I believe this what WiiFlow selects in the "Auto" option but I also tried manually selecting 249. But no luck.

      When i check my cIOS 249 version it says v21007. Post number one says Kirby is: "Working with cIOS249 [56] d2x-v6 and v7". Am I doing it rite?

      That all depends onthe base of your 249.

      Sent with WiiHacks app, that should explain any typos 8-p

      Okay, I'm sorry for asking this, but I really don't understand this instruction (from the dual layer list section):

      You used to need cIOS38 Rev17 + Or cIOS222/223 v4/v5.1 to get these dual layered games to work.
      Now just use the D2x Rev 21 cIOS, as well as cIOS222/223 v4/v5.1
      When I actually ran the d2x cIOS installer, it asks for:
      - Select cIOS
      - Select cIOS base
      - Select cIOS slot
      - Select cIOS revision
      And at the bottom, it says
      - Current IOS: 58 v6176

      Now, according to what's written above, I'm fairly sure that
      + cIOS has to be v4 (there's no v5.1, only v5)

      And now here's my question:
      ? Does cIOS slot has to be 222 or 223? But there's already cIOS at that spot!
      ? I have no idea what cIOS base has to be, is it 38?
      ? is cIOS revision should be 17, or 21, or something else?
      ? Also, they mentioned that the "Current IOS" for the installation should be either IOS36 or 236, but I have no idea how to change it...

      Again, sorry for the question, but I can't seem to find the answer when I search :/

      Follow the instructions in the d2x guide to get all the d2x cIOS installed. Then depending on the game you play, that will determine what cIOS you load the game with.
      In the d2x guide, there's an option to wad install the d2x cIOS. That might be less confusing for you.

      P.S Sorry for my late reply lol.

      I'm playing on a NTSC Wii, and I have the same problem with the 3 usb loaders.
      Undub version by the way.
      I'm having the exact same issue with the same version as you. I have the actual game but hate the dub. I really hope I can solve it. I posted my syscheck over here, hoping to find help. You should do the same.

      As thats not a problem game, it should load with IOS249. You do need to update your softmod though.
      Search for the softmod any wii guide, or alternatively, Modmii for windows.

      Hello all, I'm having an issue with this game. Every time I try to load it it either freezes in the loading or freezes the cfg usb loader rite up and I have to hard reset it. Any help would be most awesome

      This isn't a troublesome game. Make sure you're loading the game with IOS249, even though most loaders
      auto choose cIOS. If that doesn't work try other IOS to load the game from, or even update your loader
      to the latest revision. Try another loader, or re-rip the game to HDD.

      I'm having a freezing issue toward the end of the first level of goldeneye. Could it be my hard drive? Everything else seems to work great including 90% of the titles above.

      Try re-ripping the game to HDD, and update your loader if you haven't already.

      I've softmodded my Wii just recently using your latest guide for 4.3U with the most updated loaders. Super Smash Bros. Melee seem to be working ok but somehow when playing adventure mode and the movie is played for "Pit Watches from Above" the game freezes. can't figure out why. I tired deleting the game and saving it again in my HDD but nothing works.

      I am assuming perhaps that it was due to the game or the file was split into two. ( Fat 32 drive )

      Is there a fix for The Amazing Spiderman? I'm using the latest version of Configurable USB loader, and the lastest soft mod any wii guides files. I have tried every IOS and the same message appears everytime. "Please insert The Amazing Spiderman Disc."
