As far as I know splitted XCIs files for XCIs bgger than 4GB are supposed to work on SX OS. But I cannot get any to work. They show up on the SX Rom Menu, but crash on mounting. I used XCI Cutter for splitting them.

Got a splitted game to work that I splitted with that Java based tool. However the game icon isn't shown on the rom menu. It's just white. Is that normal?

Which version of SXOs are you using ? and firmware ?

sd corruption? what do you mean? i just switched from fat32 to exfat

It's a commonly reported problem, everyone says "I've had no issues with exfat, right up until they do". Any dev involved with homebrew will tell you avoid exfat, best to take their advice. Besides there are plenty of ways to overcome the 4GB limit for both XCIs and NSPs

I see, I'll probably switch back to fat32. How do i overcome the 4GB limit though?

For XCI's use an XCI cutter. I use this one, but I think there are others.

For NSP's, either install over network via Tinfoil/DZ, or use the recently released NSP Divider

    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
