Setup details: everything running from 16gb FAT32 32kb cluster Lexar flash drive in bottom USB port, RVLoader 2.1, untrimmed board, no disc drive, all games confirmed working in dolphin. The setup has other peculiarities but I don't think any are relevant.

Hello, I'm posting here after several hours of attempts to get Insane Kart Wii working (normal Mario Kart Wii works fine). Since Riivolution wasn't an option I installed it as an ISO patch, but whenever I start it I get either a black screen or the "An error has occurred. Press the eject button, remove the game disk..." message. Kirby's Return to Dream Land also goes to a black screen. I left both games running for several minutes to rule out them just taking a long time to load.

I'm aware that Insane Kart Wii is a huge mod not optimized for real hardware, but I'm guessing that this problem comes from my loader setup. I've read that Kirby's Return to Dream Land has antipiracy, I don't know if RVLoader has trouble with that.

I'm porbably a bit too late, I tried it myself this week and discovered the following:
The Pal version of return to dreamland is a no go since there is a crash when you enter the ship.
To get it to boot, you have to change the PADRead Mode setting to Bypass.

No Idea to fix the Insane Kart wii issue. I would say, try the same solution.
