    Hacking USB Loader GX

    After doing more research from various forums, I finally figured out that despite the fact that my flash drive was supported in the compatibility list, I needed to use a different flash drive to get the games to work that were previously not loading and giving me black screens. After switching...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    I think that's the only thing left to do being that the revisions have not changed the results for loading the games I am having problems with. I am sure it will be some setting that I have not set yet or something small I have over looked. Thank you for helping understand what that opening.bnr...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    You made a good point. Not only did I notice the "Failure to extract opening.bnr" error disappear after downgrading revisions, I also noticed the banner music go away as well. Based on that alone, It sounds like its the same issue/solution. As for the black screen issue, I cannot seem to figure...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    I found that changing USB Loader GX revisions has stopped that error message from popping up on the few games that would trigger it. I downgraded from rev825 down to rev785. Despite no longer receiving that error any more, when attempting to load a game (Super Paper Mario for example), The game...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    I have just started using the USB Loader GX for the first time after always using disk loaders. When I attempt to load certain games, I get a "Error: Failed to extract opening.bnr". I have tried searching Google to see what the cause is as well as learning about the opening.bnr error and am left...

    Hacking Problem backing up NAND in bootmi

    Change your SD as I had this same problem. All of the files copied just fine when going through the installation of Bootmii but once I got to backing up the NAND I received the same error until trying a new SD card.

    Hacking Quick question regarding patching and updating

    I usually patch my games using the "WiiBackupPatcher" that i believe i found in an older Zip from DjTaz a while back. I have copied some games using this patcher and know that they should be asking me to update when playing but are not (On the newer games). Now I am not saying i want to update...

    Hacking 3.1-3.4 Twilight/Downgrade/Gamma Tutorial

    I had a couple of quick questions. What would happen if you choose Yes to installing the shop channel while setting up IOS51? Just out of curiosity to see if the results were negative? Also if IOS51 is installed already, will installing IOS16 around it cause any issues. Thanks Also thanks...

    Hacking Softmodding someones Wii and need help

    If he updated to the latest version, you will have to wait till a downgrader comes out that can remove it and bring you back to 3.3 or something like that. For now you are screwed. There is a downgrader for the older versions which require IOS16 but i am unsure if its possible to use it with the...

    Hacking Alright, some brew questions ;)

    I am playing Tales with the Oct 23 Safe Update (Look in DjTaz's sig) and it runs fine. I would install the safe update. Also if you want to remove an IOS just use Anytitle Deleter which can also be found in DjTaz sig. Just make sure you know which IOS you are removing before you do.

    Hacking 3.4

    It's so funny to watch all the people new to the homebrew scene freak out about the update. Bottom line is if your really worried about the update or your the kind of person who has OCD on keeping their console up to date and cant resist, simply disable your network connection settings on your...

    Hacking Gamma Channel

    247 and 249 will be safe to remove. Do not remove any other IOS's without checking their functions with the console. If you do you may have problems or might even brick it.
