I just installed MKWII thanks to WAD manager but when I open it, my console crashes on a black screen. How can I do to solve my problem

I wasn't aware such big games could be installed as wad files. :wtf: Normally, it should be a .wbfs file on an external hard disk, that you just load normally with a USB loader.
I tried in WBFS format on a 4GB usb key but still a black screen

Ok lets step back a little here. You need to provide more information.

What mod do you have on your on wii u and is your vWii modded?
Where did you locate the files and how are you trying to load them?
Do you have any other wii games? Where are these stored and how are they launched?

Mario Kart does not come in wad format. As stated above you must use an iso or wbfs with a usb loader app. It's possible you tried a bad dump but at this stage we don't even know if your vwii is modded to play anything! All we know is you got some wad from somewhere and it doesn't work!

1. What do you mean? I have homebrew and usb loader gx,…
2. E:/Wbfs/MKWII with usb loader gbx (I don’t have HDD so I use a usb key more 4Gb ) and already it asks me to format my usb key so impossible to use it and it did not detect it on USb loader gbx
3. No. only channel wii

I would have to use one more than 4gb then. I'm surprised because I still have gb
You probably misunderstood me. Most problems with USB-key flash drive initialization are not related to its size, but rather in how it is partitioned and formatted.

What CFW and how did you hack vWii?

How did you format the key and is it uStealthed (or are you using the no-nag Aroma plugin)?

2. I have to format it in FAT32 so? . I don't know what uStealthed knows

Does your wiiU boots when without the sd card inserted? If not, you bricked your wiiU for good.
Yes

Believing doesn't mean knowing. So reformat it to get sure, please.



It's so your Wii U doesn't want you to format it: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ustealth-wii-u-format-disk-nag-workaround.352786/
1. It must have the necessary format for it to work on my console?
2. The problem is that I have trouble with text tutorials (I don't understand anything and therefore I don't do it right) and there is no tutorial video on this software apparatly

This thread has become an absolute mess.

When i asked where did you get the game i meant what site you downloaded it from. You say you have other wii games that you can play.... I'm gonna say you have a bad dump and forget all about the wad. Get another iso or wbfs from somewhere, I'm obviously not gonna say where and put it with your other wii games.

After this if you want it as a channel on your menu then your gonna have to read up on creating a forwarder that points to the game within usb loader gx. I believe @SaulFabre is your guy for that. If the wad you have points to a mario kart somewhere then you need to ask the creator of the wad how to use it.

Get another one. As i said earlier, if you have games you can play and get errors with this one.... It's that game/file thats at fault, not the device. Ie bad dump.

This error message has nothing to do with the wbfs file. You can download it again somewhere else, but i personally doubt that this will fix your problem.

You were using the vWii mode to run the kart game as i understand, but the game doesnt load in usbloadergx as a wbfs in your usb drive and you got a black screen. (seems like a vWii cios problem, as some games run with cios 249 and other with cios 250).

Then
a) you installed a Wad (?) into the virtual wii and again the game fails to load?... or
b) you installed the Wii U downloadable retrocompatible version of the game into the console memory and fails to load?
-------------------------------
or
Try another "legally obained" backup from some other site and copy the game in your vWii usb drive using the "wii backup manager" and change the cios runing it in the usbloader gx options for that game.
or
Try another "legally obtained" downloadable Wii U version for the game and install it in your Wii U usb drive with wupinstaller.
-----------------------
Note: Wii U usb drive must and is totally different from Wii/vWii usb drive
Note2: vWii cios are totally different from normal Wii cios, NEVER install or mix from each other or you will brick the Wii/vWii
