Thread: Super Smash Bros. Brawl issue

However, when I first tried it, and played the adventure mode (Subspace Emmisionary I think it's called..), after the first battle, the Wii crashed with an error message, asking me to remove the game disc and reset the Wii. That's fine, time for some googling.
The only suggested solution was to try Hermes 222/223 IOS, because Waninoko's 249 doesn't like dual layer discs, so I gave them a go, and configured USB Loader GX to use 222 (tried 223 as well) with SSBB. In this case, there was no error message, the screen simply remained black after the match finished. I did some more searching around and found a couple of people with the problem, but no real solution.
Just to clarify, it's the PAL version of SSBB, I am in Australia so I have a PAL console as well. I've tried a number of different bootloaders such as 'SD USB Loader' and 'uLoader', and the problem remains.

I'm having the same problem:

SSBB works fine off my retail disc, but when I play it from either USB Loader GX or uLoader, it just hangs at a black screen after winning the 1st subspace emmissary battle. Have tried IOS249, 222, and 223. Same result with all 3.

I'm using an NTSC, USA Wii. I ripped the ISO off my retail disc using USB Loader GX.

EDIT: In particular, using IOS223 (IOS60/38 merged) to load fixed it because I already had later versions of IOS 38, 53 and 55 installed. cIOS222 and 249 (rev14) weren't working right.

I second this, thank you so much.
