Buddy, you just answered your own queestion.

But it's confusing, are you trying to play DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3?
Because I too have that game and works in 480p for me.

About DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 on Wii I don't know, so maybe this is the one you're referring too.

Not really, I'm trying to find out why exiting a game that is running at 576i is causing the crash, I can have 2 workarounds, run at 480i and see everything at a much lower quality, or play a ntsc game.
I want to play the Pal version because of the language, I have no problem with english, but my nephew doesn't understand it.
Budokai Tenkaichi 3 indeed, It seems that the Pal version won't support 480p.

I see, yeah, well... not sure, but, do you have PriiLoader installed in your Wii?

There's an option in PriiLoader that enables "region free everything" and enabling that might help. Not sure though because I'm in Mexico, so I avoid out of region games.

Alternatively, have you searched for a translation for the NTSC game?

Also, which language you're using the game with? Some games changes their language if the console's language is set to another language other than english.

Yeah I have that settings, that is how I have been loading pal games, japanase wads etc.
Using a spanish translation was my first choice, because it was the easiest thing to do, I found one semi complete, but I also wanted to fix the problem, I'm thrilled about some people claiming this game to work with hermes cios.

Both the console and game are set in spanish.

Hermes cIOS is way too old.
But I guess it may help? I'm not sure about this because my Wii being with me since 2008 has Hermes/Waninkoko/d2x cios together and couple more that I don't remember why exactly I installed them.

But d2x is supposed to be the "final stage" of Hermes'/Waninkoko's work, so I doubt installing Hermes might help. Actually I wouldn't recommend it since it's probably 12 years old if not more.

You speak spanish? If so, I can direct you to a pretty much dead site with detailed information about Hermes/Waninkoko and d2x in case you have doubts about old cIOS.

Yeah I'm from Uruguay, I just read two more posts about this game not running at 480p, one from this site, the other from game faq, it seems it won't support 480p, which is weird.

Yeah, old games are rarely compatible with 480p.
More info about cIOS in spanish:

Hermes: https://wii.scenebeta.com/noticia/cios-de-hermes

Waninkoko: https://wii.scenebeta.com/noticia/cios-de-waninkoko

d2X: https://wii.scenebeta.com/noticia/d2x-cios-installer

Scenebeta is prett much dead nowadays... but the information there is somewhat relevant.
The site is safe, and if you need to download something from there you have to be registered. Don't worry, been using that site (Scenebeta) for more than a decade... 14 years to be precise.

Thanks for the help

Hey I found a workaround, the crash that happens when exiting a game that is running at 576i in my ntsc console is gone after changing the config file of CFG Usb Loader, instead of returning to Main Menu I set it to return to the Loader and it now changes to 480p and returns safely.

I have no idea about why returning to Main menu causes the crash when playing at 576i, but well, just wanted to let you know.

@XFlak @CoolMe @godreborn @JuanBaNaNa

Thanks again.

  • 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
