So, I've had this ongoing problem with my Wii that's very strange, almost like it doesn't want to play Wii games anymore. Before hacking my Wii, the disc drive just stopped working with only Wii games (unfortunately it also killed my copy of SSBB before dying), then after hacking it I had massive problems trying to get Wii games and only Wii games to work. It would always kick me back to the Wii menu, or would freeze on the rare occasion. The weird part is that it would never stay consistent, and would stop working the next time I'd want to play with it. I tried writing down notes to get an idea of what to do next time and made tons of research to get a better understanding of what I did wrong, but those notes would be worthless because It would stop working and nothing I've written down would fix it.
I've followed the guide from RiiConnect24 from the beginning, and looked at MVG for how to install WiiWare games so I'm pretty sure I did everything right. The only thing I came-up with all my research is that there's a problem with the CIOSes... But I'm not sure what.
Things I've tried:
>Switched IOS 249 to v10 r53
(worked for a bit in the past but stopped working)
>Manually uninstalled IOS 249-251 and reinstalled them to what the guide recommended
(Same thing)
>Reformatted the SD card and tried vaguely re-following the guide
(the only thing that did was make the USB work)
>Tried playing around with different CIOS versions
(there's 4 versions that are available in my d2x: v4, v6, v10 r52, and v10 r53... None of them did anything different apart from kicking me back to the Wii menu at varying speeds, same with the different bases)
>Tried playing Wii games in both an SD card (with WiiFlow) and USB (with USB Loader GX)
(both just kick me back to the Wii menu)
At this point the only option I can think of is to nuke the Wii, start again and hope for the best, but part of me thinks that somehow this won't work. This childhood Wii of mine is just cursed to never play Wii games anymore for some reason (guess it had enough of me playing MKWii and SSBB)
