[USBLOADER] Making games that rebooted work

This solution is offered to us by "Sonix DX" ;)
Tutorial and images by myself...

You'll be able to run games that previously wouldn't launch on the USB loader; such as for example Mortal Kombat Armageddon...

Warning: This solution might not work with all games!
Also, by making these changes, you'll lose certain game screens (possibly even menus), and some games will freeze when they try to return to a certain game screen...


In this example, we're going to do it for Mortal Kombat Armageddon.
For another game, just look for a filename.dol

- Dump your game onto your PC.
- Open the ISO with "WIIScrubber"

- Click the [+] of partition 0
- Choose the file "mk7.dol"

Image unavailable (removed by its host)

- Right-click on it, and choose "Extract", and save it wherever you want...
- Rename the file "mk7.dol" to "main.dol"
- Choose the file "main.dol" in "WIIScrubber"

Image unavailable (removed by its host)


- Right-click on it, and choose "Replace", and select your "main.dol" file saved above.
- Wait for the process to finish
- Transfer the ISO back to your USB device or SDHC card
- Play ;)

I was able to test with Mortal Kombat Armageddon, the game now works, but it might freeze from time to time... In return, you lose the game's first startup screens...

given the drawbacks, it's really only to be applied on games that don't work at all ^^

Thanks for the info :bravo:

it's the same system to remove error 001 which came out 25-05-2008

to do only as a last resort
because some games will get past the start but at the end it'll bug

:74: thanks for the info tgames ;)

The trick is indeed very useful when things don't work, but given the drawbacks I'd rather still play with the original or a backup on disk. :roll:
