Wii U freezes when exiting a Gamecube game (USB Loader GX / Nintendont)

phazer · Jan 1, 2026

Hi all and Happy New Year.

I have the following problem:
The Wii U system freezes when I exit a Gamecube game by pressing the Home Button on the Pro Controller.

Here is some system info:
Wii U 32GB V5.5.5 (Europe)
redNAND setup (SD card)
Wii Ver. 4.3E
Nintendont Version 6.503
USB Loader GX Version 4.0 r1282

Does anyone have a hint?

I had this same problem the other month, what helped me was simply replacing the boot.dol file with a newly downloaded one, same version of USB Loader GX. Try that first and let me know if it works

You replaced the boot.dol of USB Loader GX or Nintendont?
