Hacking Usb loader v.70 won't read / load (Tried everything)

[Hampus Uddeholt]

Hello

I softmodded my WiiU yesterday, following MrMario2011's guide on youtube (He updated the file package 30 days ago) and i followed every step (Smash stack).

After i sucessfully dumped keys, nand and IOS236 and whatnot, i went to install some things so i could play backups, using d2x-v10-beta52-vWii
and picked the following: (Base: 56, Slot: 249) (Base: 57, Slot: 250) and (Base: 58, Slot: 251) then i exited.

That was pretty much what you had to do, he also included Configurable USB loader, which is suppose to load Wii iso/wbfs files if i'm not wrong. But i didn't get that to work.

I first had my 8gb USB in fat32, tried loading over some GC iso's (Which i used with Nintendon't) worked perfectly fine.

Then i wanted to try USB loader, but when i wanted to transfer a wii game to the usb, it's over 4gb, which dosen't work with fat32. Then i tried using NTFS format, but creating a folder in the root called wbfs and placed the game in there (also tried the same method used to load games with Nintendon't) Didn't work.

After that i decided to download wbsf manager 3.0, and i formatted my 8gb USB to WBFS format, then transfering a iso with the manager, then when i tried loading that up, didn't work either. I've used both USB hubs with all my attempt, and i particulary tried loading USB mass storage, and not SD where my apps are on.

so, to sum it up abit, GC games worked with nintendont (nothing wrong with the hubs) I also tried using the latest version of USB loader (7.0) but it dosen't work.

So if you might know anything that can help me, it's appriciated!

(Edit 1: Also tried formatting the USB drive to FAT32, the putting in wbsf files made from the iso games, into a wbsf folder, nothing here either)

(Edit 2: Tried using a new usb flash and a external drive with it's own power supply, i tried using WiiFlow instead, and i can actually explore and see all folders and files (Both usb and external) But when i want to play/mount the wbfs file, it black screens and returns to the wii menu, i also got a mail saying i played Mario Galaxy for 1 second ^^

If i put the wbsf on the SD card, i can load it up fine and play, but i'd like it to work with USB, if someone could help me with forwarding and stuff, so i don't have to run WiiFlow from the SD, and then maybe possibly use a SDHC for game it that would work? That'd be great.

I can also include that if i wait out the timer in Configurable USB loader (90) sec, i get the ret=-1 error.)

if i recall for usbloader to read your wii games they must game named their gameid
ex RESB01.wbfs

 

[Hampus Uddeholt]

No luck :/ Didn't work

 

[pedro702]

well 1st thing, flashdrives are not recomended, heck my flashdrives dont even appear on wiiu menu becuase wiiu crappy power trough usb, also you should always use fat32, you can use isos bigger than 4gb by splitting them, they worked splitted i always use Iso to WBFS and i check if bigger than 4gb split.

Also how dont they work? can you atleast see them on usbloader menu? does your drive gets mounted when starting usbloader?

Nothing happends, it straight up says that there's no USB detected. But works with Nintendon't for gamecube iso's. Tried both COnfigurable USB loader and GX.

any chance you take a picture of your usb root and a picture inside wbfs folder?
just print screen.

i can see the error cant you? lol wbfs not wbsf lol.

 

[Hampus Uddeholt]

Still not working sadly, i literally got 2 USB's, both FAt32 and now folders with wbfs and the same game, it won't detect anything

is your usbloader selecting usb? becuase since you say nintendont works fine and i dont see a game folder are they on sd?

 

[Hampus Uddeholt]

well, i formatted it because i knew GCN games work and i only wanted to get wii to work after, they work from both sd and usb, and yes "USB Mass storage" It's searching in, finding nothing

what usb port are you putting the flashdrive?
the wiiu only likes its the top back port.

 

[Hampus Uddeholt]

It seems like WiiFlow finds the USB, and i can browse the files

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I've tried both multiple times as stated above every attempt i did

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I tried loading the game with WiiFlow, but it didn't let me play it (Tried it on dolphin emulator, works fine)

it could be the usbflashdrive isnt compatible with usbloader codem if you have an hdd with an y cable or its own power supply you should try it.

[Hampus Uddeholt]

Yup, fit 1 wii game on the SD, and it ran sucessfully, Do you think i could forward WiiFlow and then use a SDHC to boot games from?

probably, like i said flashdrives arent recomended on wiiu becuase of wiiu handicapt power supply.

 

[Hampus Uddeholt]

Will try my external harddrive with it's own power supply as well

that works for sure my sure does my flashdrives dont.

 

[Hampus Uddeholt]

that works for sure my sure does my flashdrives dont.

Ill see soon, just have to backup 100gb of memory from that drive to another drive before formatting to fat32. So cheers for helping me
