Hacking Usb Loader Gx kicks me back to homebrew menu

[xXErrorXx]

So I have this problem where when I try to load a game with Usb Loader Gx it just sends me back to the Homebrew Menu. It first happened with a Mario Kart Wii iso and now with a Kirby's Adventure wii (Or Return to Dreamland) iso.
Other games seem to work fine.

reloading is a symptom of "game not found".

it can be different things :
wrong cIOS slot selected for these games (verify your individual game settings)
wrong or corrupted ISO (verify with Wii Backup Manager > option > sha1)
wrong filename or path (verify your file : /wbfs/game's Title [TitleID6]/TitleID6.wbfs, and if possible check this guide to properly rename all your games at once)

I won't tell it could be the drive, as you said your other games are working.

Alright so I have renamed my games but how do I check if I selected the wrong cios?
The weird thing is, it worked just fine a few days ago.

@xXErrorXx https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/USB_Game_Compatibility_Table <-- try this

you always find old and weird urls not helping users.

Don't look at that old, wrong and dangerous compatibility list, it's not giving you the answer to your question, it's even not helpful because it doesn't provide correct info.
and Mario kart Wii is working fine, it's not a compatibility list which will reveal your problem.

to verify the IOS slot :
USBLoaderGX > select the game > Option > Game's Option > IOS Slot : verify it's set to "use global". If not, choose "reset" in the previous screen.

then verif your USB Loader GX is properly set to use slot249 or 250.
USBLoaderGX > Settings > Loader's settings > Game's IOS and Loader's IOS : 249 or 250

then go to Settings > Credit > look at the top, it should tell you :
USBLoaderGX r1268 (or 1260 or newer), slot249 or 250, d2x v8 final (or d2x v10 r52), base 56 or 57.
If you have anything else, it's wrong.


One of the Kirby games do have anti piracy check, but not mario kart.
for kirby, disable all patches : be sure you play the game from the same region than your console, disable cheat code, disable "return to" (though it should work with it, you can disabled it to be sure), don't set any video mode or any patches.



If it worked fine few days ago, maybe your device has a problem, your iso is corrupted?
did you add new files to that device ?

I'm useless.

So in the credits it says rev1262 (rev 65535) (d2x v10beta52 base57)
Is that correct?
Oh and no I didn't add any files to my drive, but I've played nsmbw with the regular disk channel.

 

[Cyan]

yes, it's good. it means :
you have USBLoaderGX revision 1262 (current latest is 1268)
it's using d2x v10 r52, based on IOS57 (the best).

if you checked your individual game settings, and it's correctly set to "use global" then your settings are good.

If the game doesn't launch, maybe the iso is corrupted.
or maybe the USB really has power issue and disconnect, but it wouldn't do it only with this game.


playing a game from disc channel could have replaced the cIOS slot, but in your case (based on how it's installed) it didn't. so it's not a problem to play from disc channel.

So basically my iso is corrupted? Because it still sends me back to the homebrew menu.

you are sure your other games are working fine, right?

Verify your ISO with WiiBackupManager > option > Sha1 tool.
if the result is red, the ISO is bad. if it's green, then I don't know the reason, except a wrong setting maybe.

What sha1 tool? I go to options and there isnt anythig like that.

 

[Cyan]

you are not in the game's option, you are in the program's option?

Go to Drive1 tab, select a game first, then the "sub menu" (not the program's menu), there's an tools > sha1

edit:
sorry, apparently it's MD5, not sha1. I always thought it used sha1 to verify the games. Or maybe I have an old version without the sha1 option.

Ive already used sha1 to verify and all games are green except for kirby, that one's blue. Now i'm verifying it with md5.
Edit: yup, kirby is still blue.

 

[Cyan]

blue? I thought it was only red or green.
maybe it's corrupted and there's no color because it can't even open it to verify the content?

That doesn't explain why mario kart is not working.

Is there maybe another wy to find out if it s corrupted or not?

 

[Cyan]

with WIT (Wiimm ISO Tool), but it's a command line program.
Maybe it's easier to delete and redump the game.

Huh. Probably. I just noticed, I think mario kart is not working because its a different region than my wii.

 

[Cyan]

I don't think, it should at least launches and at worst stay on a black screen because of incompatible video mode.

really ? Asking a moderator how to find pirated games?
read the forum's rules again.

Oops. I am really, REALLY sorry for this... I should've read the rules better.
But my Usb loader gx now freezes on "reloading to config file's cIOS..." I've tried to delete the GXGlobal.cfg but it still doesn't work.
