Game freezes on me on the loading screen

[MandoWolfe]

Well i had done all these hacks before, but when my wii messed up i had to buy a new one. So i ended up getting me a new wii, and then i lost my SD card. So i had to go buy a new one, once i did all i did was transfer my old files back. but now that i rehacked the new wii, it freezes on me when i load Riivolution. It gets to the strap menu and once it goes to the now loading screen it freezes on me.. Can anyone help me figure out why it's doing this? And what can i do to fix this problem?

Who's the version of your Wii?

3.2? 4.1? 4.2?

PAL or NTSC?

[MandoWolfe]

its 4.3 and im using NTSC

If there are common_(2,3, 4,5 or just no number).pac files in your system folder, try to temporarily remove them and see if the game loads up.

[MandoWolfe]

yeah. that was the problem. I had a common 5 and 3, once i took those out it ran fine. So ill probably just have to rebuild it all right?

[Sky Grounder]

Yeah, either they were corrupted, or were PAL. At least it's working now =)

[MandoWolfe]

yup. thanks for the help.

For future reference, when using the File Patch Code to replace files, if any PAC files are compressed, or have compressed contents, they have to use less memory than normal when edited.  Riivolution and custom ISOs bypass this flaw though.

That's one of the reasons i'm using riivolution (thus, you can create multiple packs)
