Hi, I'm replying to this thread because I can't find a anyone else with the similar problems that I am having with my Wii. Understandably, a lot of these posts are not explained well I appear to be having the same issue as many of these users. But, I feel like, as with the others who were/are in my position, simply cannot understand the cause of this problem.
Before I describe the system details, I'll say that this isn't my Wii. I got it from a friend with the goal of making it into a pimped-out usb backup loader. More specifically, to be able to play the different kinds of Smash Bros. that are available.
So in order to pimp it out, I bought the XCM ii Case Mod and dissembled the Wii and put it back together. So Far, however there were no issues.
This Wii is a first generation Wii with system menu
4.3U.
It currently has
cIOS 249 base 56 v10 beta53-alt and
cIOS 250 base 57 v10 beta52.
I have Bootmii installed in Boot2, currently set to autoboot into the system menu.
I have Priiloader currently set to startup USB Loader GX on Autoboot.
So here is the issue,
The GC Controller works everywhere, except on games loaded via USB Loader GX ( USB HDD is formatted to FAT32).
I open up USB Loader GX and I start
Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii. This game is confirmed to have Gamecube Controller support. Unfortunately, the game does not recognize it.
I open up the very same game via the Disc Channel and the GC Controller works flawlessly.
Incidentally, other Wii games that are confirmed to have GC Controller support do not work via USB Loader GX, but work via the Disc Channel.
I should also mention, (and I believe someone else mentioned this as well), running a GC game from USB Loader GX (I am using
Nintendont) also works as intended. This leads me to believe that the problem seems to be with USB Loader GX. However, I could not seem to find a single option that was mis-set in that could be causing the issue.
Finally the last thing I should mention is the case mod. I just recently opened the case up and switched everything around. But as one might suspect that may have potentially caused some unwanted behavior.
Okay my wii finally recognized my gamecube controllers while running wii games from usb loader.
It happened to work again because I returned 1 x 0.5 x 2cm (approx) grey foam back into its rightful spot. I dunno how can this caused gamecube controllers not working with usb loader but it's actually true...

Swift Fox claims that it is the grey foam block which was not rightfully placed (located at the underside of the motherboard) and looking at the underside of the motherboard of my Wii (the case is transparent) I noticed that my foam block is not placed correctly as well. My knowledge of PCB Design is limited, but I'm very inclined to propose that it can't possibly be the issue and there must be something else we are missing. I would like to know what you guys opinion is on the matter. And if there is already a proper solution ( I couldn't not find one, google failed me, this was the closed thread I could find). I really don't want to reopen this Wii. The screw heads have started to become worn out and soon enough (these screws are really cheap IMO) I wont be able to screw them in/out. Thank you for your time. Here is a link to a picture of the Foam that Me and user
Swift Fox are referring to.
