Seems like it is, or at least it was 1 year ago according to this

Hello,

yes, I confirm that this Call Of Duty Black Ops game is still working online today.

I actually miss playing zombies transit mode. I may dig out my wiiu at some point later in the year and play a match or two

Actually COD online it still works on Wii too, but that's because Activision uses its own servers. But yes, the Wii U and 3DS online servers are still up and running.

Zombies, I don't like, I prefer Call Of Duty

• Is the version from open shop channel (oscwii.org) good enough?

Hello.
I’m sure it’s been asked many times but I just undusted my Wii U to play some Wii games I missed out on back in the day and wanted to know what are the best settings to get the cleanest image for Wii games on a 1920x1080 4k screen?

I am on ver.3.0 rev.1272 the one that has the options for 480p Pixel fix Patch

Thanks in advance!

 

[XFlak]

run the latest blackb0x release from oscwii.org (or his signature) and also apply the remove deflicker option

Thanks! The difference is like night and day now. Some games like RE4 can even benefit more from deflicker OFF (extended) makes the image look super clean and way better for 4K.
I am impressed! What else is blackbox working on updating?

After all these years, still no option to separate viewing of titles by platform/type.
And not in the way where they get lumped together by that but are all still in view next to each other.
I'm talking about essentially just having a button as a shortcut that flips through showing ONLY the one type of game while still sorting alphabetically.

Would make having larger libraries of collectively Wii, GC, and WiiWare/VC games easier and nicer to jump around through when looking at what game you are in the mood for.

It surprises me further that the functionality is basically already there.
Can do this manually by clicking the icon at the top and unchecking the platform/type you don't want to show, but that's painfully clunky and not user friendly compared to just having some big-ish single buttons to press to essentially check and uncheck all those options automatically and refresh the page.

Oh well, guess nobody out there who has the ability to program and edit this application has ever really felt like it was important to do, or someone did do it, but did it only for themselves and never committed it to the Git to share with everyone else.

I know I'm not the first person to ever bring this up as a topic regarding USBLGX either lol, and I probably won't be the last.

But hey, maaaaybe this feature is going to be in the soon to be released update and it's just been kept hush hush so it can be revealed like a surprise.

Would it be possible someday to have an option to launch vWii homebrew apps already overclocked by somehow incorporating what Sign C2W Patcher does?

Just talking out of my head here, I can understand if it’s not possible too.

Really enjoying a bunch of Wii titles I never played before and also some nice emulation.
Thanks in advance!

As you state, the option is there. It's also easy to get to and use (especially for anyone savvy enough to have managed "larger libraries of collectively Wii, GC, and WiiWare/VC games" on their modded Wii), and I've never found it painful in any way. You may wish to have screen real estate taken up by such a (big) button, but I don't and I would bet that most people don't. That is probably why the very, very few times it has been brought up over the years no one has taken any action. Not everything needs to have a big button on the home screen, especially when there is such a simple way to accomplish the same thing that has been there for more than a decade.

There is a 'tab mod' version of ULGX that has tabs for each of the game types, details here:

And here is the last response about integrating it in the main ULGX build:

You'll find out soon I'm currently collaborating with Oddx to make sure that all cache related issues are fixed.

Unfortunately I don't own a Wii U, so I can't say for sure if it'd be possible or not. But it doesn't seem to be a simple patch anyway, so it's not like I could easily add all of the code into the loader and then have someone else try it.

Would make having larger libraries of collectively Wii, GC, and WiiWare/VC games easier and nicer to jump around through when looking at what game you are in the mood for.

I do agree that it'd be nice to have a button to cycle through game types, but unfortunately that would break support for every theme released within the last 10+ years.

The tabbed version of the loader that fandango mentioned seems like it would be perfect for you. And I'll probably start working on that again once I've released a new loader update.

Hi,
Could someone help me getting my USBLoaderGX and Homebrew Channel settings back to "normal" ?

I used to use HBC along with Wiiflow to play emulators, homebrews showed on a different page than Wii games, GC games had to launched and played through Nintendont homebrew

I switched some weeks ago to USBLoaderGX, it worked perfectl and fits my needs : GC and Wii games all together, Wii-like UI and simpler homebrew access.

I could indifferently use Wii System Menu Homebrew Channel / USBLoaderGX Homebrew Channel Banner Channel / Homebrew-Channel-type bottom right icon. All of these paths worked as intended.

About a week ago, I noted that it was all messy now, and I cannot understand how and why. I mean I didn't mess into any loader settings or hack settings.

Now, my loader behaviour is the following :
Homebrew Channel launched through USBLGX Home button shortcut is ok
Homebrew channel banner launches HBC installer and hangs on the scam screen forever
Homebrew bottom right button prompts a Wii-like screen but totally empty, blank, and sort of softlocks the Wii, I have to power it off to get back to USBLoaderGX menu

A few days ago, I reinstalled USBLoaderGX. Same issue.
I tried to redo Bathaxx. Same issue.

Hi blackb0x

Is it possible to bring back Hermes v5.1 support, like in GX v2.1?

Hi blackb0x

Why would you need Hermes support when d2x is more stable
