I had used the Lego Starwars jailbreak to install homebrew, then installed Nintendon't, CFG loader, and a channel launcher for CFG Loader to stick on my vWii's home. It is all set up and works, but CFG is VERY slow to start. I click on the launcher and hit start, and then it spends about a minute or two on the blue screen saying that it's loading files, before FINALLY going to the loader.

I have everything on a 64GB SD card, and while I have a USB drive for Wii U games I have CFG explicitly set to look only at the SD card.

Any help would be appreciated. I can upload a dump of my SD card directory (excluding games) if you want.

If I were you, I'd use WiiFlow. It's much better. Also, don't put all your games on the sd card! Use a external hdd or a flash drive. Loaders have a hard time pulling backups from the sd.

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

Also, why would you even use a disc jailbreak? Those are unecessary, as there is an easier way to install homebrew called the "letterbomb" method. It's easy af and free too! It takes less than 5 minutes to install homebrew and bootmii with that method!

Letterbomb does not work on Wii U. Sorry, the homebrew is on the vWii side so I thought asking here would be more appropriate.

I can try WiiFlow again, I remember dismissing it but I can't remember why.

WiiFlow boots immediately, but I have to download covers and figure out why it can't find my gamecube games. I'll probably use it instead then

That looks fine. It could just be an issue with CFG Loader, then. It hasn't been updated in quite a while now.

I ended up just purging it and and installing the WiiFlow multimod suite. I have to figure out how to enable n64 games, but already it performs better than my old version of WiiFlow and nintendont.

CFG runs perfectly fine on my WiiU, but I use a USB HDD, not an SD card.
CFG Loader has no issues on my vWii loading games stored on the SD card. CFG Loader (70r78.10) loads in about 10 seconds from hitting Start on the channel forwarder, and only takes 5 seconds to boot into a game.

WiiFlow on the other hand takes 30 seconds to load, and another 30 seconds to boot into games. Seems like it's a well-known issue with WiiFlow and a SD card only configuration.

Problably. And here's my card dump, any advice as to what I can actually delete and if anything eeds to be updated? I don't even know what's going on in it anymore except that it works
Looking at config.txt under /usb-loader/, you have "device = usb", when it should be "device = sdhc". That might be causing the large loading time.

That would do it. I changed it within CFG but I guess I had to use a text editor. That would've saved me some time.

As it is, Wiiflow launches very fast. I'm not fully satisfied with having to click on that fiddly toggle to cycle through everything just to switch to Gamecube games, but my setup works - and works better than it did before - so I'm not going to futz with it. I'll change that setting in the backup in case Wiiflow borks though.

Thanks for the help.

Click B on the source button and you'll get a menu to pick which one you want. :)

Press 1 to change the way games are shown. You can even change it to show like 40 games at once.

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though

    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
