I downloaded Eternal Darkness onto a disc (as I originally had the Gamecube retail version but lost it years ago) using Nintendont and USBLoaderGX. I load it onto the system and as soon as it starts I am greeted with an error saying that my "Disc Cover is Open". I tried re-downloading it, thinking it was possibly a bad download, but it still says the same thing. How do I fix it?

 

[EmulateLife]

The download is fine Eternal Darkness is one of the few games that doesn't work from a burned disc. You could put it on a usb flash drive and then it'll work.

Little bit different format though if you do that. Make sure your flash drive is fat32 format and then create a folder on the flash drive called <games> then make a folder inside <games> in it doesn't matter what you call it then rename the .iso to game.iso and put it in that folder.

If you don't have a flash drive if your sd card has enough space to hold the game on it you can do the same thing from it also create folder on the sd card called <games> (has to be called games for this folder) then put a folder in it such as <Eternal Darkness> or whatever you want to call it rename Eternal Darkness' iso to game.iso (required) put it in the folder. Nintendont should read it right off the bat and you can play it.

What program should I use to transfer gamecube iso to my usb?

In my memory, I used wii backup loader, but it doesn't accept the iso (don't know why). It just displays them in red.

It's been a few years, what program should I use?

 

[GreyWolf]

Just copy it
"/games/game name [titleid]/game.iso"
"/games/game name [titleid]/disc2.iso" (for 2nd disc of some games)

example: "/games/Animal Crossing [GAFE01]/game.iso"

You can probably leave out the title ID if you don't want to look it up.

What is the difference between d2x-cios-installer and d2x-cios? Right now I only installed d2x cIOS Installer v2.2 without d2x-v10-beta52. Is that why some of my games aren't working??? Pls help here... Thanks

 

[GreyWolf]

The cIOS is a custom IOS that's got extra features patched onto a Nintendo one. The installer is what downloads the original IOS, patches it then installs it to your NAND. Just copying the cIOS installer onto your SD card doesn't help. You need to get the patch package for the version you want, put it in the same folder then tell it what and where you want everything.

Here is my SysCheck report after I reinstalled d2x-cios-installer with d2x-v10-beta52 in slots 248 base 56, 247 base 57. I also updated USB Loader GX loader and used IOS 247 in loader settings. Black ops & JUST DANCE still has black screen on start up.

 

[GreyWolf]

I'm not sure how you ended up with them in 247/248 but if you set USB Loader GX to use 248 as the loader and game IOS it should be good. With where you have everything you would want 247 for Just Dance/CoD games.

It would be better to install them properly as 249[56] and 250[57], though.

Well, somehow the attachment of the wii motion + doesn't work when I attach a nunchuck (tried different ones, all official Nintendo). I looked through the forum and googled, and it appears the attachment runs out after a few years.

Because I didn't know if it was the ios or anything else, I borrowed the wii motion + controller from my brother (the one which has it build in) but it works fine.
I'll probably have to buy new official wii motion + anyway.

But somehow it doesn't work in cfg USB loader. Any ideas? Ingame it works fine.

It sounds like since Nintendo has even "newer" models of WiiMotion+ controllers that some homebrews need to be updated to work with them, that's what I am guessing. I remember when WM+ controllers first came out and a bunch of homebrew didn't support the new controllers.

As for my question:
Any ideas on how to get USB Loader GX to have one game, but listed multiple times each with different settings?

I'm thinking a hardlink on the HDD would work, but USB Loader GX would just see them all as the same exact game/ID then. I'm trying to get it so I have both "ProjectM 3.6" and "Brawl-" listed in there without using up two brawl wbfs files and not having to change Ocarina game load paths every time I want to switch.

I've installed the cios, put usbloader on sd card, install forwarder wii version using wad manager, still the channel put me back to wii menu. From homebrew it works fine though. Any ideas?

For USB Loader GX? Make sure you used the v5.1 forwarder and have "Return To" set to USB Loader GX in the settings. The app folder must also be named "usbloadergx" or "usbloader_gx".

Turns out I had to install IOS58, thanks for the response though.

Sorry, I assume people have updated to 4.3.

As for my question:

Sorry, that's not possible with the "conventional" method.
USBLoaderGX is assigning settings based on the GameID, and prevent multiple GameID to be displayed at the same time.
even if they would be displayed, they would both share the same settings.

But there are methods you could try to achieve what you want.
- set different GameID to the game (require editing the ISO content, wit can do it, and maybe even USBLoaderGX but I haven't tested it!) (only option if you use WBFS partition format, and I think it only works inside USBLoaderGX if using a WBFS partition anyway)
(dis)advantage : savegame will be different, IF the game use the TitleID instead of hardcoded savegame path.

- set different GameID in the folder name on FAT32/NTFS/Ext partition format. USBLoaderGX uses the found ID in the folder to list games.
/wbfs/Game A [GameID1]/GameID1.wbfs
/wbfs/Game A [GameID2]/GameID2.wbfs
For the same "Game A", creates 2 different GameID in the folder and filename.
(dis)Advantage : it will share the same savegame, as the TitleID is not edited inside the ISO, IF the game use the TitleID instead of hardcoded savegame path.
Advantage : You can have hardmod of games in different folders. (official SSBB, modded SSBB, etc.)
Advantage : that's the easiest method !

- The most difficult way to do it would be to use different USBloaderGX folders.
but that's very hard to setup, and I won't help because that's not the way it's designed to be used.
just know it's possible, with a mix of WiiGSC as installed channels launching different USBloaderGX version and different game settings.

Disadvantage : Some settings can be hardcoded to load from "usbloader_gx" and could be loaded using the wrong folder, resulting in shared settings instead of real dual settings. For example the forwarder will only load that usbloader_gx meta folder and settings.

HI all. I'm not sure forum etiquette on where to post things etc. but here's my problem.

I have some trouble when installing games from disk to my 128GB USB stick. I can play games put on my usb with WBFS manager or Wii Backup manager however on any loader - however Wiiflow, USB Loader GX, CFG Loader all freeze while installing at 0.00% or some random number so I can't back up my games which is very frustrating. I have a feeling i'll need to downgrade a cIOS to a more compatible version but any input would be greatly appreciated!

Are there any methods to transferring a Wii game > 4gb on to a Fat32 drive without using Wii Backup/wbfs Manager?

I don't have administrator privileges to install apps, nor did I find a portable version of those apps.

 

[GreyWolf]

Use ModMii to download Wii Backup Manager. It doesn't require any installation, just the files in a folder.

WBFS Manager is not good to use. It corrupts drives and I don't think it works with FAT32.
