what i did post my syscheck

 

[r1vver]

I bet there are lot of strings afer IOS70. The most interesting ones.
Maybe they just didn't fit becouse of the number of lines? If so, a spoiler should help fit everything in

Syscheck

Well it's incomplete.
- As for your issue, what drive are you using (external hdd or flash drive)? Is it formatted as Fat32 32kb clusters? Is it plugged in port 0?
- And this happens with all the games you have stored there?
- Also make sure you're using this version of usbloadergx.

done, thanks for letting me know

If you're using a flash drive, that's probably your issue, those rarely work with USB loaders.

external hdd, its plugged in port 0 and im pretty sure its formated as fat32 32kb clusters but i'll reformat it now
yes it happens with mario party 8, super mario galaxy and nsmbw (all of which work on dolphin)
i am using that fversion of usblgx

 

[r1vver]

The catalogs (folders) and ID namings of the games are fine, as they should be? Wii Backup Manager used?
In the USB Loader GX settings, are all paths pointing to the correct/right catalogs (folders)?
If the latest version of USB Loader GX (1281) was installed over old one - was the settings file inherited from the old version? There is an opinion that it is better not to use settings files from previous versions and let the program create all over again

im using a hdd

What about the hdd enclosure you're using? And Is it plugged to a y-cable or just a standard usb one?
Your hdd has only 1 (MBR) partition?

yes it happens with mario party 8, super mario galaxy and nsmbw (all of which work on dolphin)

Verify them (the hash) in WiiBackupManager to make sure they're not corrupt.
- Also, when are you launching usbloadergx from the HBC or with the forwarder? Try launching it from the HBC (if the latter).
- Also, when you launch it, does it pass the usb initiation screen without showing a countdown?
Check the hdd path settings in USBLoaderGX, make sure it's set to port 0 (not 1).

i believe its just a standard usb
how do i check how many partitions it has?

i just verified the games with wbm, theyre fine
i launch usblgx through the hbc
when i launch a game it takes me to a black screen for maybe 3 seconds or so and then goes immediately to the hbc menu

 

[CoolMe]

how do i check how many partitions it has?

Disk Management in Windows. Or some software like AOMEI Partition Assistant.

AOMEI doesnt recognise the hdd for some reason

it says
"Unknown
Disk Unreadable"

Was it working when you formatted it as fat32? What about disk management, does it say the same thing there too?
I would check the hdd enclosure maybe it's not getting enough power or something. Try with a another just for the sake of testing.
Also don't format it (yet), until you make sure the problem is the hdd and not the enclosure.

it recognises it now, may have been a connection error earlier
how do i check how many partitions it has?
and how many should i have?

With either disk management or AOMEI partition assistant as previously stated. It should have only one, set as MBR.
