As a wii softmodder, i'm pretty new to this area, but when my wii tries to read my wbfs file in USB Loader Gx, it cuts to a black screen, then a couple of seconds later, it goes to the wii menu. Also i'm trying to load it off my usb, which is in fat32 format. I think I might need help with the whole cios and ios thing, and I have the time to reinstall them, just make sure you give me every step. I can also try to do that system checker thingy if I have the time. I've also tried Wiiflow. Thanks! :)



EDIT: The game is separated into multiple parts, maybe this could be the reason?? Idk I need a fix.

The game being in multiple part is on purpose, this is how it's supposed to be.
(well, as long as your parts are named .wbfs, .wbf1, wbf2 etc.
if it's .001 .002, or .rar, or r01, or anything else than "wbf" something, then you have the wrong game format.

you mentioned "read my wbfs files" so I'd just assume you have the correct game file format.


What you describe is typical of "no cIOS installed".

ok .. so, I don't know how many times I wrote that guide every weeks ... I should really put a link in my signature x___x

get d2x cIOS installer for Wii
create a folder on your SD card here : sd:/apps/d2x_installer/
extract the downloaded pack into that folder

be sure network access and internet is setup and working on your Wii
launch d2x installer from HBC
select this (with d-pad left/right/up/down) :


What : d2x v8 final
where : 249
base : 57
version : 65535 (I specifically chose this version for you, you seem to have the "cIOS replaced" issue, so you probably don't have priiloader and just got your softmod deleted by nintendo !)

Press A to install
when completed, press Home to exit.

done.

Sorry for the dumb question Cyan, but what slot do I put it in the slot map?

EDIT: I tried putting it in slot 249 in the slot map, and when it's download and patching contents, it says net_gethostbyname failed: -125. It still installed normally though... I'll try to check if my game works in USB Loader. Also when I mean the game is seperated into parts, I mean like I go into Wiiflow, and there are multiple copies of it, and all of them lead to a black screen, then crash to wii menu. Also when I try opening one in USB Loader GX (this one isn't in parts) It does the same. I'll reply back if it works.

The grid is just a reference. You pick where you want it installed on the previous screen.

oh ok thanks, I did as said, but I had recently deleted USB Loader GX because i thought i was using an old version. Well I installed it as an wad file and now it's stuck on loading cIOS 250. Any solutions?

don't install as WAD, it's old too.
use latest revision (1262 or 1263) from my signature or official thread.

you shouldn't see more than one time the same game in the loader. if you do, something is wrong with your USB and your files.
please, show us your USB content (screenshot maybe?)


The error you get is probably because it can't connect to the server, or you didn't enable network first.
be sure you don't block access to nintendo servers (if you filter URL for 3DS or wiiu, disable DNS filtering, etc.) don't forget to re-enable filtering after that.

Sorry if I'm making this harder for you, but i tried your method, and it just made the games disappear. I can do a syscheck if you would like. Anyway I a new cios installed and whenever I load into iOS 249 or 250, it stays on a black screen and it doesn't crash to home brew or wii menu. Also I tried getting another game to load, and it doesn't work. I need instructions on how to install USB loader to my SD card, cause I may have messed something up. Help on the issue is greatly appreciated! :)

The guide from how I installed Cios


What’s up guys so sorry if it’s stupid but I’m reviving this dead thread because all I had to do is use wbfs file format for my games and I formatted my usb to wbfs using wii backup manager. Lol it’s been so long, I just randomly decided to do it since I quit on hacking it, although btw kind of rude how you guys just left the thread :(

Hello Cyan. I am new to this forum but I see that you are a person of knowledge so I hope tou can help me .
After I installed “Mario Party 9” on my usb and tried to open it on my Wii, the game crashes with a “wrong region” error message. I turned off my Wii and after that when I tried to open my USB loader GX it would crash on start up every time. It takes me back to the. Wii menu immediately . Don’t know what to do...

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore

    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant

    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
