Black screen freeze with riivolution

[Alphatron]

I posted this in the Q & A thread three days ago, but got no response.

So the latest version of riivo (1.04) works on system menu 4.3. I know this because I updated my wii after getting Kirby's Epic Yarn and riivo works fine. It also works fine with two other friends whom I know irl.

However, one of my friends who has his wii on 4.3 can't get riivo to work properly. Riivo loads, let's him choose from any of the options, but when he tries to load the game, he gets a black screen freeze. Aside from unplugging his wii, he can't turn it off even when holding the power button for seven seconds. Has this happened to anyone else and are there any fixes for it?

It's not that riivo isn't working at all; it loads fine. Just, the minute he tries to load anything, he gets a black screen and a freeze. I have no idea what's wrong, as it isn't the setup on his SD card (he's tried other SD cards that work on other wiis on 4.3 and the same thing happens).

Bumping because the problem still persists

Ok, I'll add some info. So, yesterday, Alphatron and I looked at said friend's Wii. His wii is a launch-day wii, if that means anything. He has successfully used Riivolution 1.01, 1.02, and I believe 1.03 as well. Upon updating his wii to 4.3, riivolution tried to do something to I0S37, which failed. From there, he upgraded to 1.04, which resulted in the disc being detected, the XML being loaded and from there, a black screen with the disc drive no longer spinning or being read (the blue light also stops.)

We used Dop-Mii Wiibrew Edition to delete IOS37, and used riivolution to reinstall IOS37, as it did ages ago. This resulted in a black screen freeze. We did the same thing, installing it through Dop-Mii. This resulted in a black screen freeze. We uninstalled, and installed the version right under the last. This resulted in a black screen freeze.

Some more steps that may be worth knowing:
His wii is a bit laggy in the Menu.
His wii's disc drive spins a lot.

Has no one else had this problem?

I guess no one has had this problem?

I am trying to get my Smash Bros. Brawl mods to work but I am having a crap-load of trouble with this today. I didn't have this problem the last time I have been running them. I wasn't sure if it was stuff I deleted that made it run for Riivolution. But I tried to get them running again.
