I'm trying to install Guitar Hero III on my Wii U's vWii, and when I launch it with WiiFlow, it crashes (to a stack dump, I think it said. DS1 was something that stood out that could be important, but I can provide the rest if required.) After running that game, none of my other games in WiiFlow run either, and give me the same DS1 error, even though these games worked prior to me running it. The only way I've found to fix it when all of my WiiFlow games break is to completely reinstall WiiFlow.

I've read about it and it seems like it requires some "Hermes cIOS" (I understand little about the Wii's IOSes) in slot 223, but I can't figure out how to install that or if it's safe to do on a vWii.

My Wii U and vWii were modded with wiiu.hacks.guide's walk through, if that's of any importance.

Any Help?

Dont think about it to install Wii cIOS to vWii, or you will brick. If you followed the guide correctly the necessarry cIOS 249(base57), 250(base56), 251(base58) with dx2-v10-beta52 patch (not the beta53) are installed.

In first way i think its a bad dump, you may verify it by a hash value and try if the game runs in a Emulator.

Guitar hero and all other games (Sing Star,...) of this genre are problematic, as they need a specific ios to run. If Wiiflow supports it try in custom setting of the game different cIOS (249 or 250).

The DS1 Exeption may also some error because of faulty data, check this thread

I just played my dump in Dolphin, and it worked perfectly fine other than a bit of lag, but this is an 8 year old Macbook.

I have tried both slots 249 and 250, and neither worked, but I will try them again just to be sure.

I'll also try to remove the save data and see if that will help at all.

The image is what the system is stuck on when I try slot 250.

Side note, in WiiFlow, it usually shows the little channel preview, (like when you click on the disk channel but before you press start) but that doesn't appear for GH3.

Deleting the save data did get all of my other games working again, but GH3 doesn't work still.

I'm about to test slot 249, as 250 did not work. 249 does not work, might as well test 251, my last IOS option. 251 crashed faster than any others.

I'm lost.

you can still play the game just not through vwii. what you can do is do a virtual console inject for the hame and play it that way

    Thanks mate.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There's a download button on the page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector.
