Its been a long time since I was last back here and I'm glad to see there still exists a Wii modding community!
To also elaborate, I modded an old wii quite a while back now before d2x, using WAD Manager and trucha bug exploit and everything was great with my Backup Loader (until I made a hash of DIOS MIOS and my Wii eventually dying).
After recently acquiring a Wii for cheap, I went about modding again except this time I see that with Menu Version 4.3, there was a different path to follow. After using the letterbomb technique and having the latest version of Homebrew, I followed this guide that claims to bypass the need for the trucha bug.
Everything appears to work, I can launch USB Loader GX (latest revision I know of) and it sees my games. However it does not see the artwork that has been put there by the backup manager on my PC and cannot pull the menu animation either. When I choose to play any game I get rebooted back to Homebrew.
I have tried different formats (except wbfs as it is old hat). I have tried using d2x v8 final as well as v10 mentioned in the guide above and I have also tried restoring the trucha bug with no luck. As a final step I tried the Hermes IOS, the installer had a problem installing the WAD files it found online so I used NUSC to download them and the installer would complain of a bad hash (the wads were in their correct directory which actually differs from the Hermes guide).
I have since reverted everything back to the first guide, hoping it is something silly that I have missed. I know the Wii is an old console now and more effort is focused on the WiiU these days, but if anybody has had a similar problem and found a solution I would be most grateful.
Many thanks people, happy modding!
