I'm having alot of trouble on USB Loader GX on Wii U. to me, It seems to be.. Corrupted. When I run the app, It get's frozen when it looks for a usb device, And then skips from 20 seconds, to 17. Nintendont will NO LONGER WORK from USb Loader GX, And everytime I try to run something from USB Loader, It crashes.

I' don't know whats going on, But it's giving me ALOT of trouble

Are you using a Y-cable for your usb drive? Mine wouldn't work in the Wii U until I got a Y-cable. I got this one and now it works fine. http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-...F8&qid=1438102198&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+y+cable

No, I'm not using a USB drive at all. I'm trying to use USB Loader GX for the sole purpose of loading Gamecube games on Nintendont. But everytime I click the start button, It crashes.
Then why don't you just use Nintendont alone? You really don't need USB Loader GX to run GC games through Nintendont.

lol if the games didn't show up in Nintendont then really they won't show up in USB Loader GX, ULGX is only a forwarder in this case.

Make sure you have the folders like this:
USB:\games\name-of-the-game [GAMEID]\game.iso
First you HAVE to have a folder named "games" in the root of the device, then inside this folder make another folder and name it as the game ID all in caps, this is very important, you can use the name of the game for easier use but the game ID MUST be there all in caps, then inside the folder put the game in iso format and name it "game.iso" not "name of the game.ios" IT MUST BE "game.iso" regardless of the game.

Okay, I'll try that, And keep you updated.

Nope, Still nothing. Games still aren't showing up. I really have no clue what i'm doing wrong..
But for some reason, They show up in USB Loader GX... But wont show up in Nintendont, I find that really strange. Should I use an older version of Nintendont?

That's really strange, list your settings on Nintendont please, and best to post in the Nintendont threat as this issue is caused by Nintendont not USBLGX http://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont-crediars-new-project.349258/

I double checked for that, And it's not named that.
I think I know what the problem is! I think you are selecting the wrong device when Nintendont starts up. Pick one, and if it doesn't show anything, pick the other. You are supposed to pick the device that has the games, not the device that has the Nintendont data.
Another thing that might fix your issue is to make sure you have the titles.txt that goes in the nintendont folder. If not, you can download it in Nintendont internally, or you can pick it up here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FIX94/Nintendont/master/nintendont/titles.txt
You just click the link, then right-click and click "Save Page As..." and save it as titles.txt. Plus, if you already have it, it wouldn't hurt to update it anyway.

Now it's saying that theres no Device found. AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THAT, NOW IT'S SAYING THERES NO DEVICE AT ALL.

They go in
/games/Game Name [GameID]/game.iso
/games/Game Name [GameID]/disc2.iso (for 2nd disc of multi disc games)

If it's not picking them up like that then you may have something wrong with your drive/partitioning scheme. You have to have a FAT32 partition set up as primary and (I think) the first partition on the drive.

Hey man, I'm really sorry about this. I understand your frustration completely, but we are only trying to help. I really do think I can help you, so I'll talk to you about it in a conversation.

I know you are frustrated right now, but 99% of the problems people have while setting up nintendont are USER errors, usually meaning a (little) mistake has been made while setting up.
The other 1% is a problem with (in)comaptibility of the USB device or SD card or some other reason like hardware failure on the wii/wii u side or the connection.

If you are still up to it i suggest you try different things like using another SD or USB device and again read the first page of the nintendont thread to see if you did all the steps (like for example the partitioning part, because thats really important).
Or ask help from someone nearby who has done this before.

PS: Keep cool, it ain't worth freaking out over it.. :moogle:
