Bah, I finally get around to hacking my vWii last week after putting it off for years and there's a change to the process yesterday.
Is switching to 52 from 53 relatively painless?

the cIOS 236 can be used to install other IOS (in case of semi-brick, or missing IOS58)@Cyan
why does the guide even mention installing ios236? i thought the only point of ios236 was to install cIOS249 but with the d2x cios installers the ios236 wasn't needed.
if you installed r52, be sure to put the HDD in USB Port 0, as USB Port1 is no longer working inside the loader, unless you select "IOS58" as internal loader's IOS.I've changed my cIOS to r52 instead of r53, and now Usb loader gx fails to load, it gets stuck on 'initialize usb device'
Switching to r52 is very easy :
follow the cIOS installation step again.
it will overwrite the slot with the new data, you don't need to (and should not !) delete the existing slot before installing r52.
just install over.
No.Can I use the same HDD which I install WiiU games, to put Wii games and run the USB Loader GX?
If so, how do I do it? Thanks!
That's the issue with hosting specific files for guides instead of providing source's links.I downloaded the latest versions of Nintendont and GX from their respective sources and it seems that the links in the OP are significantly outdated. The GX link was a version so old that updating from the app itself wasn't possible, and Nintendont jumped up an entire version number. Those weren't posted for some technical reason I couldn't even hope to understand, were they?
A question:
1) With the new versions of Nintendon't and Ustealth, there is a risk of using 2 HD's on WiiU, being HD1 Vwii and HD2 games Wiiu. Apparently there is risk of corrupting data from the HD 2 games of Wiiu. This is true?

I can't find Greywolf's usb loader gx version, so if someone can point me in the right direction.
Yesterday, on someone elses advice I tried to check if a normal usb would work with a gamecube game and nintendont. It did.
However, if I load nintendont directly, it just says 'USB FAT device could not be opened.'
Hello all, I wasn't sure whether to ask this in the USB Loader GX thread or here, since the issue lies on vWii. I've been having issues with USB Loader not being able to see the GCN games on my SD card. I went into Loader Settings and turned Gamecube Mode to Nintendont as instructed, and the games themselves are in a "games" folder on the SD root. I thought perhaps changing the Main Gamecube Path to look at the SD card could be an option, so I went to Custom Paths to change it, but there's no option to switch from usb to sd, just the OK and Cancel buttons.
Also, somehow the paths are made in such a way that USB Loader GX has placed "apps," "config," and "txtcodes" folders on the HDD my Wii games are located by default, something I don't recall being a thing when I first hacked my vWii three years ago. I would alter the paths to point towards the SD card if I could, but no dice. I'm on r1262. Thanks, all.
Edit: Unplugged my HDD, unhid it with Ustealth and copied the files that USB Loader put onto the HDD over to the SD where I want them, as well as manually edited the GXGlobal.cfg file. When I reinsert the card, everything reverts back. Googling and searching the forums for this issue has unearthed nothing.
Okie dokie, I'll rejigger everything again. Do GCN and Wii games need to be on separate partitions?
Alrighty, everything is working correctly. Thanks for the assistance!

As Sagento said, both can be on the same partition. Glad i could help myself too instead of only asking questions in the forums Please tell us what the solution was, so others can benefit from it too. I bet it was naming of the iso files (game.iso and disc2.iso) as it was the same for me the first time
