    USBLoaderGX shows games but doesn't launch

    You said you dumped one and it works fine? So what are the other ones youre describing? games you had somewhere else and moved on to the SD? If they're .wbfs files and you moved them from somewhere else, they're probably just named/foldered wrong since you have one that works. Just tweak the...

    Tutorial Project How to set up ISFShax + Stroopwafel

    I have the isfshax installed from early march, so still using that minute and superblock. Would any reason I had need to update be obvious to me? I have a if it aint broke dont fix it approach to updates that I don't really understand, usually.

    Gaming Hardware What can I do to increase the lifespan of my wii?

    blow dust out, good ventilation, dont set it in hot direct sunlight (at least not while also playing), disc drive components lasts longer with system horizontal. Wii is not particularly bad on lifespan/durability naturally.

    Homebrew Problems

    in Minitool partition wizard, I aligned my partition to MB when creating it. I don't know if this matters, or how to tell on an already created partition, or what alignment even means, or if you have to do it while creating or can do it later. I know that aligning to MB is more legacy than...

    Homebrew Problems

    is the drive itself (or the partition) larger than 2 TB? I don't really know what else to do after that. There's an issue with drives larger than 2TB. I don't know if this is actually true for USB loader. Seems like it's more true with WiiVC installed to the WiiU. So I dunno. Can still try...

    Homebrew Problems

    games showing in the loader but none of them getting into game is odd, especially if you've checked your cIOS were the typical. is the loader using the default IOS 249? if the loader is set to use either port, update it to port 0 only and restart. some big games take about 40 seconds before...

    Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

    my move has been to make another user, and login to that user until im sure everything is working the folders/layout on your main profile shouldnt shift until you're ready to log back into it, so just make sure the USB setup is back the way it was before you do

    Homebrew Problems

    dont plug the power branch of the y cable into another hub or machine, only the other port(s) on the wii u That's exactly why no such cords are technically USB compliant. You can fry machinery that way. two host sources may fight each other, causing dangerous backfeeding, overvoltage, or ground...

    Struggling to get WiiFlow/USBLoaderGX to recognize USB sticks

    understood, then I guess just make sure those same settings (FAT32 with 32 kb clusters, MBR partition table, a single partition or first partition, primary not logical) are applied to your USB stick formatting, pop it in port 0, and hope for the best. :)

    Struggling to get WiiFlow/USBLoaderGX to recognize USB sticks

    the hardware and software doesn't like flash drives and only likes you to use port 0 on the back for wii data, and they aren't a good choice long term anyway. I can tell you which one I got to work but you're better just using a usb hdd formatted to FAT32 with 32 kb clusters, MBR partition...

    Is maxone 500 gb external HDD good for USB loader GFX?

    all y-cables are technically non-compliant for USB. It's possible to get really bad ones that don't work the intended way. Did you buy a "cheapest random option from general store" one? If it came with your drive you can probably rule it out, but the fact that some games launched once and not...

    "If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing" is a stupid quote and I'm sick of hearing it

    I've always kind of assumed that the statement doesn't function as a justification; it's a threat people intend to convey to the industry. If you take the industry more this way, this will be the result. It's a FAFO statement, I thought, from the way people use it.

    the guide has a section for uninstalling cbhc as you're getting started. I just have no idea if you have it installed. you'll just have to figure that out somehow. It might be safe to follow the guide section to uninstall it even if you dont have it, but I have no idea. The only thing making me...
