    Hacking need to re-examine my USB Loader GX and Nintendont config on my Wii for 2018

    I swapped to slot250 and corrected "return to" on usbloadergx and all is GREAT! I tested a few games, and all is working. Later this weekend I hope to swap to slot249, but for now I have enough for today. Thanks for your help Cyan, you're the best!

    Hacking need to re-examine my USB Loader GX and Nintendont config on my Wii for 2018

    I finally got back to this project. Everything now works, except my Wii games will always fail to quit to the USB Loader GX after playing. When I press Home, the game goes to black and my Wiimote flashes to all 4 lights whenever I am dropping to Forwarder or to the The Homebrew Channel...

    Hacking need to re-examine my USB Loader GX and Nintendont config on my Wii for 2018

    I have been out of pocket for since my last post--I'm dealing with cancer, but on the mend. I had a small tumor removed from my left temporal lobe, but fortunately there are not a lot of nerve endings I need to worry about so I don't have a lot of pain. More than anything, the issue for me is...

    Brand new hard drive. I think I'm good. I haven't had a moment to update, but I'll post results as soon as I can.

    Hacking need to re-examine my USB Loader GX and Nintendont config on my Wii for 2018

    Cyan thanks for your reply, no worries on the timing. You are right, my original post, combined with the later posts, show some inconsistencies. The issue started when my eldest teen wanted to play a GC game from USB Loader GX, and it wouldn't allow me to run games from the HDD and insisted on...

    Hacking need to re-examine my USB Loader GX and Nintendont config on my Wii for 2018

    I am attempting to use "d2x v8 Final" so that I can get better compatibility, but I can't get d2x v8 to properly be recognized so that I can load it via d2X Custom IOS Installer. It won't show up in the list. Also, I am not a fan of ModMii because it is too "hand holdy" and I also don't like...

    Yup--all paths are unchanged. I am pretty sure it is a USB drive issue, but what I really want to do is to ensure the Wii prioritizes loading of USB Loader GX from the drive consistently.

    Hacking need to re-examine my USB Loader GX and Nintendont config on my Wii for 2018

    All the emulators are updated. I used to update everything via Homebrew Browser until HB stopped updating, and then I swapped to manually updating them myself. I'm not interested in someone else updating my set-up, I'm just interested in advice on an ideal configuration that I can update myself...

    Feb 1, 2018 - Original Post: Hi Cyan--still always amazed by everything you are doing here after all these years--I'm grateful to see you still active and helping everyone. I've been off of my Wii for few years, but I'm jumping back in and wanted some of your seasoned advice. I have a 2nd gen...

    Hacking GameTDB - game information database + covers

    A couple of Wii covers I made for games that didn't have entries at gametdb.com. All work is derivative, actual attributions belong to someone else--I'm just a cut-n-paste artist. Enjoy: Super Mario Wars [SMWC] (derived from a GBA cover I found) I have a channel I made for this floating around...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Thanks. I have actually found that the "correct" IDs are held in the file TitlesCache.bin. So, I just need to DL the box art, update the ID file to match what is found in TitlesCache.bin, and then it shows up correctly.
