    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    ^ OMFG, all of this! Yes! Eventually, I'm going to edit the first post in this thread to save others the effort of reading through all of this. As it turns out, my "solution" has been pretty simple stuff after much trial-and-error. Back later with consolidated summary. Thanks @Cyan !

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    I don't have an "official" answer for that but, using the install WADs by folder feature, I installed 700+ in one pass. *** I really believe having this many WADs is partially the cause of my problems. I don't have a scientific reason for that besides that I've noticed better / stable game...

    LMAO, YUP!! :rofl2: ^ This quote should appear as Google search top result. ;-) I had a feeling that was the case. Thanks for confirming! I will continue testing other WADs as cIOS. Small batches installed at a time, not hundreds. Cheers!

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    Yup. Part of my "solution" was to re-dump the NAND. I had about 700 WW / VC titles installed before I re-dumped. Of course, UGX and Neek System Menu are faster to launch now. Would you believe I figured all this out on my own before your post? ;-) I am not sure what brought Neek System...

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    Making progress! I will try not to write too much. • UGX Features - Boot Neek System Menu still works. I didn't test launching any channels from there besides Cave Story (still works). • However, the autoboot Neek feature in UGX on the per-game settings level gives an error message...

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    Dig it. I'll do some more testing with the other titles I've got. If I have any issues, I'll test like this: • game doesn't work on cIOS? • test with Neek auto boot • doesn't work? • install to real NAND • Works there? Try Neek with different settings (which settings though...?) • Doesn't...

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    For what it's worth, my sysNAND has System Menu 4.1U When ModMii asked what System Menu I wanted to use in the NAND it generated, I specified 4.1 Not 4.2 or 4.3 I'm not sure if these details have any significance but I thought it'd be worth sharing. Well, that's bad news. With that...

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    I am having trouble with my Windows emulator (on Mac) so, the ShowMiiWads installation will have to wait until I am at my other computer. In the meantime, this is probably going to be useful information. I installed the WAD to real sysNAND System Menu and when I try to launch the game from its...

    The following represents the true pl_us NAND generated by ModMii. The following represents my dumped sysNAND. This is the one that is currently working to launch Cave Story from UGX / cIOS. As of the time of posting these photos, I have not installed the WAD to emuNAND using...

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    Of COURSE I'll do it! We need to troubleshoot, right? ;-) Sad to say that I don't have my USB HDD with me right now. When I do have the USB, I will do the comparison you have requested, absolutely. Actually, I have a pl_us NAND generated by ModMii here on a different hard drive (a backup...

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    Full disclosure - I've never used ShowMiiWads for anything but verifying WAD info (region flag, etc). I am very sorry to ask, how do I install the WAD to my USB using ShowMiiWads? I haven't tried... Sorry! I will use MMM to install the WAD to sysNAND. I will then attempt to launch the...

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    I don't understand why either! Hopefully, indeed. Features - Launch NEEK System Menu Works! For the sake of it, I launched Cave Story from Neek System Menu. Also works, sees the save game file too. 2 Fast 4 Gnomz however... black screen for a few seconds then the gray Wii logo screen...

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    Hell yeah, it worked! Dump NAND to emuNAND - USB\nands\01 Install Cave Story WAD. Launch with cIOS, boom. Even though it worked with a NAND dump to USB, for laughs, I did this anyway. • Copy the contents from SD\nands\01 into USB\nands\02 • (named 02 just for reference) • Point emuNAND...

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    Yes, brother. Correct. I think we're having a translation issue here. What I mean was that when we updated the soft mod a few weeks ago, I didn't re-dump the sysNAND before proceeding with more tests. Last night, I did the NAND dump. Therefore, that seems to be what will probably be THE...

    Hacking WiiWare / VC, having trouble launching with USB Loader GX and neek2o

    Will do. *** Key point - I SUSPECT that the reason this worked is because I'm using a dump of sysNAND. sysNAND which has had those cIOS updates aoolied recently. Remember how outdated my cIOS's were? We re-modded after discovering that. Since then, emuNAND was still pointing to the "clean"...
