Really weird issue with Just Dance 2014

My son has been playing Just Dance 2014 alot in the past week. No issues at all. For different reasons, I deleted my wii folder and started over with a fresh NAND. Now the game hangs every time I start it. I can get past this by disabling the network adapter on my PC but as soon as I turn it on again, the game freezes. If I understand the wiki correctly, you should be able to turn on the network adapter once you have created a dancer card but the game still freezes for me. Now why wasn't this a problem for me when I first started the game on my old NAND a week ago? I had no issues at all.

Edit: I just want to clarify that I didn't disable the network adapter when I used the other NAND a week ago. I had no idea there was an issue. It just worked perfectly, How come?

Unclear about the specifics of your freezes. They sound a bit like the "Dancer Card Hang" described on the Wiki page.

In theory they should stop after creating a Dancer Card with network access disabled.

You may also need to restore your network certs, refer: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Wii_Network_Guide

That is probably it. I totally forgot about those files. Thank you very much. Will test later tonight.

Just wanted to say thanx for pointing me in the right direction. Works great now after adding those files. By the way. It seems like these games no longer hangs when creating a dance card. I have done 2014, 2018 and 2019 so far. No crashes. Gonna try 15, 16 and 17 too.

Tested a fresh NAND with Just Dance 2018 and the Dancer Card hang is still there if you don't disconnect from the internet.

Also, Dancer Card hang never happened in Just Dance 2019 as they completely ditched all online services on that release...

Well, I tried 15, 16, and 17 today. So that's all of them from 14 to 19. I have created dance cards for every one of them without issues. I guess I'm lucky then. If I can help you guys in any way to figure out why I don't get crashes, let me know.
