I've been using USB Loader GX for a while now with no issue. Today I put a disk in my Wii and tried to boot it. The Wii said it needed to install an update. I turned the Wii off to cancel the update, and now when I try to load games with USB Loader GX, it just kicks me back to homebrew. Someone please help with this, I rely entirely on USB Loader GX to load my games. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: To clarify, after the fact, I did install the update, and discs still work fine; however I don't have many discs.

Yes post a syscheck report. Most likely you'll just need to re-install a cIOS that was overwritten by the update.

For whatever reason Monster Hunter G (English patched) won't start in USB Loader CFG that I usually use. So I try Loader GX, but it says "error loading IOS58. USB Loader GX required a cIOS or IOS58 with AHB access". I used ModMii a long time ago and don't remember what I did.

Hello.:)

You can change the Loaders IOS in the Global Settings from USBLoader GX (please use the latest Version v3.0 r1272) to 249 if you want.:)

For install IOS58 please:

- You can use the IOS58 Installer (please use Google to find it,very simple).
- You can use the ModMii Tool (you can find it on Download Page 1 if you use the NON Skin Version of Modmii.exe) and install it with an WAD Manager like Multi Mod Manager or WiiMod Lite.

Thank you.:)

I don't think I can access Global Settings because I'm getting thrown out of USBLoader GX on start.

I'll try installing IOS58.

Weird that it says IOS58 comes with 4.3 System Update. That's the one I'm using. I wonder if ModMii removed it.

Ok,I see.
Good Luck.:)

Did you have already Version v3.0 r1272 of the USBloader GX ?

Thank you.:)
Yes, that's the version.
Hmm, ModMii can't download the file (Wii servers have shut down?), but apparently I already have it on my SD card in WAD folder (there's a whole bunch of IOS files, IOS58-64-v6176.wad is among them. I can just install that one right?

Here it works.Maybe an security issue,like in an other Thread here I encountered today.:)

Okay I installed IOS58, but nothing changed. Apparently I need to reinstall HBC now?

Okay, no problem it all works now. Even Motion Plus now works in HBC. Thanks.

Monster Hunter G now loads Classic Controller warning, but then hangs up after you skip it. I guess, maybe the copy is bad.

On USBLoader GX v3.0 r1272 tested:

- on IOS 249 [57] (r21 d2x-v10beta52) stucks on a Black Screen.
- on IOS 250 [56] (r21 d2x-v10beta52) sends me back to the Homebrew Channel.
- on IOS 251 [58] (rev 21008 d2x-v8final) the Game loads but after Classic Controller warning Black Screen.
- on IOS 223 [37] (rev 65535 hermesrodries v6) the Game works without Issues.
- on IOS 224 [57] (rev 65535 hermes v5) the Game loads but after Classic Controller warning Black Screen.

Also tested with

- Configurable USB Loader Mod v70 r78.11 ---->
Did not get to work.The IOS223-mload is suggested - after Loading Black Screen.Automatic and other IOSes -> No Success.
- WiiFlow WFL v5.2.0 ---> Works with changing IOS to 223.

Have fun.
Thank you.:)

Doesn't work for me, though my version of IOS is different (cIOS223 hermes v4 v65535 apparently) and maybe I don't change IOS in USBLoader the right way. I just manially typed 223 at Game IOS option during Game Load. It black screens after Classic Controller warning.

Hello.:)

That is ok.:)

I can only suggest it you to "update" the IOS 223 to v5/v5.1R of better game compatibility.
There are not so many Games but for example Monster Hunter 3,Spongebob Boating Bash or Worms Battle Islands use it too.

And you can change it back every time if you do not like it.:D

Thank you.:)

Can you suggest where to download that version of IOS? I can't find it anywhere and ModMii doesn't download anything.

Hello.:)

As I see you are from europe too,I suggest to Report your Download Issues with ModMii to @XFlak in the Support Thread:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/modmii-for-windows-official-support-topic.207126/

Maybe there is a Solution for it.

For your Request:
You can use this here on GBAtemp:
https://gbatemp.net/download/hermes-cios-installer.11435/
PLEASE NOTE: Disconnect any GAMECUBE Controller/GAMECUBE Memory Card if you have attached.
Otherwise the installer maybe crashes.

Good luck.
Thank you.:)
