i did all games went straight to black screen and controller gets disconnected which then requires a hard reset. even if i use cfg loader the game just freezes

when i used to hack wiis i used to install is 236 then use it to install all the other stuff

i did that afterwards but then i unistall the cios with dx2 installer which i guess permanently deleted both ios 250 and 236

 

[Captain_N]

i used a seperate installer for cios 236
what about installing a already made cios 250 wad? i have some

i used a seperate installer for cios 236

i did too but it didn't fix my poroblem so i decided to use dx2 to uninstall plus 250 and 249

would a cios250 wad work?

i also try to use custom install 2.3 using 236 but cios 250 still won't install instead i get error (ret = -2)

The error in bold means error mounting source filesystem, which means whatever drive the .wad file is on isn't compatible with your .wad installer.

Why are you trying to install Cios to your VWii?

https://gbatemp.net/threads/wuphax-v1-1-hacking-vwii-from-wiiu-mode.446786/

this is WupHax, you can run it via the WiiU Homebrew Laucher to inject the VWii Homebrew Channel install into the VWii's Mii Channel

You don't need to install Cios' anymore

HBC is not cIOS, they are two completely different things and you need both to use USB loaders.

im using fat32 even if that was the problem why dx2 fail to install cios 250 and usually it work

is there a way to refresh the wii to get my original ios slots back such as 250 and 236

im using fat32

I used to have the same problem as you when installing .wad files, but in my case, it was because I was using a SanDisk Cruzer Glide Flash Drive (example), which most .wad managers seem to have issues with. After switching to one of these, the problem completely went away (after formatting as FAT32, that is).

It also could be the cluster size on your flash drive. Some games are REALLY finicky about the cluster size, including my personal favorite, Metroid Prime Trilogy, which almost REQUIRED 32KB sectors. It randomly froze sometimes with the Gamecube recommended 64KB/sector, and had a 50/50 chance of booting to a black screen if I used Windows' default cluster size.

Try using an application called 'FAT32 GUI Formatter' to format your drives. It should be available as a download through ModMii. Just insert your drive, backup your drive's contents on your PC somewhere, open the application, choose your drive's letter, choose '32768', and optionally, uncheck 'Quick Format'. Click Start (if you did the optional step, it will take about an hour for a 32GB flash drive), and when it is finished, copy back your files that you backed up on your PC. Insert your drive into your Wii USB port, and try installing again.

You don't need cios on VWii, I can play GameCube games perfectly fine

 

[goldsoul]

i have a regular wii

GC games are ran through Nintendont. Wii games are ran through cIOS.
