Is there anyway you can dump the vWii NAND so I can obtain the IOS' on my own is there any applications I can get them so I can start playing off my vWii?
Looks like d2x v10 is out... http://gbatemp.net/threads/ciosx-rev21d2x-yet-another-hot-fix.277659/page-149#post-4490001
The OP still says a vwii-compatible d2x hasn't been released yet, which is no longer true. All the tools are out now to be able to have loaders work. I was just trying to prompt an update to the progress guide.Which means...?
If it's involved with USB loading, great. Speaking of which, what about hard drives on the Wii U? What about the whole format HDD prompt message that pops up, why hasn't anyone answered that? I'm going to keep asking until I get a straight answer.
D2X vWii was released but its not perfect, so far, only base58 loads games. base 56 and 57 exit to the System Menu.
So for now, Installing d2x vWii base58 in Slot249 makes games run without manually setting the IOS used.
If i were OP, I would update post with "Partial" status and say that USB loading works but base58 needs to be in slot249 and the USB loaders used need to updated for them to work.
So far, WiiFlow works fine but i have heard mixed stories about USB Loader GX.
I used the Slot 250 version of the GX all-in-one installer, and so far all two of the games I've tested (Mario Kart Wii, Metroid Prime Trilogy) have worked, and features like downloading covers over wifi also work, whereas wiiflow hangs trying to establish a connection. In any case, the d2x install process was anything but simple, especially for a noob like me, but at least it's better than what's described in the post.
I used d2x beta53 from here: http://code.google.com/p/d2x-cios/downloads/list, with cios installer 2.2 and the fruit of fstoolbox + showmiinand.WiiFlow does not hang for me, and i even used the USB Lan adapter with my harddrive plugged in, but i used D2X vWii-ALT, which has hotplug and supports 2 USB devices at a time.
Also, could you provide a link to the GX all-in-one you used, I have not heard of any other installers being updated for vWii Support other then the Fix94 mod one and 2.2 (via IOS236).

Nope. Part of the Firmware.There has got to be a way to prevent HDD format prompts, besides unplugging/plugging it in every time.

Perhaps when UMode is hacked, but until then, you'll just have to either plug it in after booting to vWii, or just hit cancel every time the prompt appears.
And honestly, is a single cancellable prompt on boot/plugin really that annoying?
No, the pop up itself isn't annoying, the potentiality of inadvertently pressing "yes" is, as is exacerbated wear and tear by hot-plugging the HDD while it's on. Knowing my luck, I'd probably do it. I'll at least install the HBC, at least that can't be deleted by accident.
They're effing expensive, way more per GB than hard drives are. I can't just not use the 500 GB I got for my birthday last year...You could buy a really big SD card, maybe?
