Why it should have to do with anti piracy, thru i can play those Tomb Raider games on WiiU with USBLGX ?

I have Wii, not Wii U, and the US version didn't work either

if you can't get a game to work, try disabling all global settings in that game's individual settings. I know kirby has metafortress ap, but it may not be that specific kirby game. I know one of them does, but afaik, usb loader gx can now bypass it without having to do anything, so maybe you're outdated. originally, you'd have to disable everything or use a config file, but I still don't know if that's the right kirby game. I think that might be what it's called in Europe without looking it up.

take a print for me to see, or rather; make a video
Kirby yes it is working after the last update, but before it was the same as Tomb Raider

Where is the difference? Does the Wii have extra anti piracy protection? Fort sure not.

Maybe someone can proof that Tomb Raider Underworld and Anniversary runs on a Wii using USBLGX r1281.

most likely it's designed for Wii U, from what I've heard, the Wii of Wii U (vWii) is better than the Wii itself and from what I see it's true, since you have a Wii U and can play, I'll try to put the vWii loader on the Wii to see if it works

@Amuro-san

I have recently updated my Wii to USBLGX r1281, also using the 'new' method of installing CIOS's.

It is a PAL version and had no problem running RH8P4F (Underworld) or RLRP4F (Anniversary).

Hi all, when is the new version of usbloadergx with fix for tintin expected?

A while off yet, since I still need to get a Wii U and address some Wii U specific issues.

Yea, I've actually gone over this before as I've confirmed that both games work and there's no anti-piracy detection in them.

@Amuro-san I think I've said this before, but the issue is likely with your USB drive as you've also experienced issues with Call of Duty Black Ops freezing during a certain mission, yet I was able to complete the mission with the save file that you provided.

other games are working great, my Wii is a black NSTC (USA) and several games work perfectly, but not Tomb Raider (I'm still going to test Call of DUty Black Ops)

Hey, Do You Guys Know A Way To Remove The Black Borders On The Wii Games? Because It's Bad To Play Tne Game With Black Borders On The Screen. And, USB Loader GX Is Not Like Nintendont, That Lets You Use Video Width Values To Adjust The Screen

Any idea how to get Your Shape working from USB drive? Playing from disk on a Wii 4.2E works fine.
Seems to be an old unsolved problem or am I wrong?

Wi is on 4.1E latest Modmii.
Starting Your Shape with USB Loader GX V3.0 r1272 mod v6 from HBC will show the camera error.
Setting the Loader's ios to 58 did not help.
With game ios to 223 I can create a game profile but then it quits and says turn off the Wii and plugin the camera. Well, it's already in port 1 (0 for the USB drive).

Why not try the latest version of gx?

It has an auto ios selection feature, and in this case perhaps cios251 (base 58) might be ideal

Tried v3.0-r1281: All three options (global, auto, custom 251) do reboot to HBC *sigh*

Does that only happen with Your Shape on 1281? And is that via a fresh install (usbloader_gx folder deleted) or an upgrade?

As for the game, I believe it needs to be played from an SD card or a disc.

Seems only to happen with Your Shape on 1281. Fresh install (copied usbloader_gx folder to SD card) after renaming the 1272 mod V6 folder (still in apps folder on SD card).

Keeping the old version was a good idea, I was able to rescue 1281 after using IOS 58 as a Loader. Didn't help with the problem and tried to set it back to 249... Couldn't access the settings anymore, instead it showed an error with lots of numbers on the screen. ~~Sorry, no pic taken~~. Changed the Loader IOS back using the older version and 1281 settings menu was working again *phew*

Will give it a try from SD card, thank you for the hint.

Edit to add a pic

Hi all, is the Wii U Widescreen setting in the Features menu not supposed to save? Every time I start up USB Loader GX it reverts to 16:9, I want it to stay at 4:3.

The force 4:3 aspect ratio setting never seems to actually work with Wii games, which is why I use the Wii U widescreen feature instead.

Hey @blackb0x I know you don't have a Wii U to test on still (probably) but in the current version of USB Loader GX we have an option under Settings -> Features called Wii U Widescreen.

This option toggles how the Wii U displays the video appearance between- letterboxed 4:3 or 16:9, and whatever you leave this toggled to persists into the next software that loads.

Could we perhaps get this option implemented on a per game basis?

Many Wii games internally display at 4:3 even if the console is set to 16:9, so being able to set this per game so such titles don't play stretched on a Wii U screen would be nice.

PS: another wishlist item I've wanted to see fixed is how the cursor appears to be stretched in USB Loader GX when it is running on a console set to 16:9. The cursor should adjusted for 16:9 displays and this afaik has never worked properly.

I can't seem to make VC titles play with 4:3 aspect ratio. They always load with 16:9 aspect ratio. How do you display them 4:3 with WiiU?

Tomb Raider now worked, all I did was reroute the codes from the SD card to the HD (I passed the codes from the SD to the HD) now it's working perfectly

I don’t know if I told you before but I thank you for the work done so far. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I had a problem before, but it was only for me to change the codes and their route to the HD that the problem was solved, it's almost like the original itself, from what I've heard it's just missing Tintin and some other

Bunch of Wiis (sold as "spares and parts" since the seller didn't know if it still worked) that I bought came preinstalled with the Homebrew and USB Loader GX apps.

Fact that the Wiis have GCN ports is awesome.
