Hmm... I noticed that you have priiloader installed. What settings for you set on priiloader? Just a random guess, but it's better than nothing.
Thanks for the reply! I have enabled:
-Region Free EVERYTHING
-Block Disc Updates
-Region Free GC Games (No VM Patch)
-Region Free Wii Games
-Region Free Channels
-Auto-Press A at Health Screen
-Move Disc Channel
-Block Online Updates
-Replace Health Screen with Backmenu

I tried turning off the ones relating to region and Wii games(#1 and #4 on the list), and it worked!

It may have been one other thing. I also noticed with Configurable USB Launcher, the error code it was giving me for one external hdd was that ntfs compression wasn't supported. Checking the hard drive, it was compressing folders and files, so I took that off as well.

Thanks much for the help.

Dear All, I try to get my Wii ready again after several years. Playing games from USB drive is not possible anymore (black screen and then return to home screen). It is very well possible I made a mistake with installing WADs few years ago. Does anyone know if I should change anything, based on my SysCheck:

Odd. Well, in priiloader, what do you have enabled? If this is the same issue as the previous post, then this should be ridiculously easy.
Edit: also, just out of curiosity, why aren't you on system menu 4.3?

Yeah, you can get a usb loader, such as usb loader gx. Are you saying you want to play usb games from the disc channel? Because I'm pretty sure you cant.

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


Have you formatted it to fat32 correctly? Make sure not to use a "quick format" or such. Also, did you get to uninstall then install usb loader gx?
I did both of those things, it seems the issue is USB Loader doesn't want to even attempt to use a FAT32 partition, so I really have no clue what to do to fix it.

Hi guys,

I'm calling for help here. USB Loader GX does not recognize my USB but CFG does. What could it be? Both loaders are the latest versions.

Does it say in the credits that it's "3.0"? Also, I noticed that mine did that too, probably because I was using a channel I thought was a proper forwarder I made that was actually the app itself installed onto the Wii. Make sure it's the latest version by going to the USBLGX main download page and downloading that.

i have posted here before regarding about Call of Duty: Black Ops and JUST DANCE being black screen on start-up on Wiiflow and Usbloaders. Then after I followed the cIOs installation instructions from WiiHACKS forum, JUST DANCE started working but not for Black ops yet. After a few weeks of casual playing of different games, I tried to launch Black ops again to see if it will work and it did! I'm just wondering why it worked all of the sudden.

Both of those required a cIOS based on IOS57.

New to this.... so I have been reading mainly following this....
https://sites.google.com/site/completesg/hacking-guide/4-3-guide

1. Installed Homebrew Channel and BootMii using Letterbomb
2. Backup Wii NAND using BootMii as iOS
3. Install Priiloader, disabled game and online updates, enabled region free
4. cIOS Installation using d2x cIOS
5. WiiFlow

Now, I assumed you can use a HDD and instead of using a SD card for everything, so I wanted to just copy/paste the entire content from the SD card to an external HDD (since I'll need a HDD to store my backup games anyway).
So I did that, but then nothing would show in Homebrew Channel, I didn't know that the Homebrew Channel needed FAT32.
So I made a partition on my external drive 20GB, FAT32, 32K cluster size (but I assume I could of just made this 5GB), the rest of the partition is in NTFS.

Again, I copy/pasted the files across from the memory card to the FAT32 partition, and I moved the wbfs folder onto the NTFS partition.
Now, in homebrew channel, I can see all the programs (wiiflow, d2x IOS, preloader)

So I load up WiiFlow, and it shows one game, I downloaded the cover art, looks good.
When I go to load the game, the Wii would go black and rest.
I plugged the USB HDD into the bottom usb port (when the wii is flat) and the game loads fine.

Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
Seem the top USB port causes a reboot?

Also, in regards to the d2x cIOS, for the first one, I didn't change the revision to 65535, I just left it at 21006 because the instructions said it was optional, for the second one I did exactly as the screenshot showed which was 65535. I assume I can just re-run through the d2x cIOS app and do it again yes? I believe if I do this, it will stop my Wii from telling me there's an update available, ever time I make a new network connection in the Wii settings?

Thanks and sorry for the numb questions.

The port closest to the edge of the console is the one d2x expects the drive to be in. One problem with that guide, though, is that it recommends installing d2x beta53 as IOS249[56] and beta52 as IOS250[57]. You shouldn't do that. Use beta52 for both slots. You can just redo it and install beta52 over the top of the other one if you want.

You can just use one FAT32 partition for everything. Wii Backup Manager can split files so they fit when it copies them.

Im guessing the word was partition, as for the format, dont use WBFS, use fat32. are you plugin the hard drive on the right usb slot?

Yeah sure, but first, tell me where does it crash exactly, and are you a 100% sure your drive its FAT32, and it DOES NOT HAVE multiple partition in it? did you used GuiFormat in order to get Fat32?



1.usbloadergx crashes at unskippable intros

2&3&4.i used guiformat so i am 100% sure that i only have fat32
