well I think I got it..the wad manager was just buggy or something. if I hit "2" for file operations then I could see what it was I was selecting when I wasn't able to see the cursor.

edit: also saw this problem mentioned in the guide later on

I am quite behind in wii hacking. I have a 3.4 ntsc american wii. I have I think cios rev 14. I haven't bothered updating, but I am running out of space on my wii and theres quite a few wiiware games I want to play. I know that 4.x added support to launch the games off of the sd card. Thats great.

I am wondering should I follow the guide exactly even though I already have my nand backed up, homebrew channel, the cios and all of that already installed?

Please let me knwo as I don't want to mess anything up when its workign eprfectly as of now.

Thanks

Actually, if you expand the game options before you launch it in GX you can tell it to find the alternate dol. You than save ti saying yes you want to use tha tdol. Launch the game and it will play the motionplus video. After that I think it restarts or something, been long while since I did, but restart wii and than go into the settings for wii sports resort agan and turn off alternate dol and launch the game again. It will play great from that point on.

i used wiiscrubber to extract the main.dol re named it to the game title.dol .. easy fix .or some dowloads will include the main.dol in the download its self.make sure u turn the dol loading off or you will have to watch the video over

You should be able to run bannerbomb in V4.2, if you read the guide it tells you to run bannerbomb on firmware 4.2.
