there's no "IOS58 from 4.3"
there are multiple version of IOS58 (since 4.3 ... and as 4.3 is the latest system menu version, it's not even a good reference to link IOS version to that menu version).
it's true, it's downloaded directly from nintendo servers, but doesn't mean it's downloding the latest version of IOS58. It's downloading a SPECIFIC hardcoded version of IOS58. Nintendo released new version since that homebrew was released, and it's not downloading that new version at all.


Each app running on the console need a "driver" to communicate with the hardware. the IOS is that driver, and an app need specific functions from these drivers.
nintendo didn't update an unique hardware drivers, but instead kept old IOS slot with old IOS version, (probably for compatibility reason).

system menu 4.3 need IOS80, zelda twilight princess need IOS9, etc.

the channels used for homebrew is using IOS in slot 58 because nintendo added USB2.0 drivers in that one (and only that one ! no other IOS has it)
Homebrew benefit from the IOS58's USB driver to init and mount USB HDD.
so, if you miss IOS58, a lot of homebrew will not work.

speaking of that, your HBC is probably broken too !!
HBC needs IOS58 to work properly. If you didn't have that IOS before, then HBC is running on IOS61 instead. (or was it 62?)
You should reinstall HBC using hackmii installer so that it's reinstalled properly using IOS58.

I guess it could be why wiiflow is not working.

you don't need any other cIOS. if you read anything about 236, just stop reading. That's old topics.
236 is a patched IOS36 installed into slot 236, it was used to re-add signature check bug.
This is not needed anymore since IOS58+HBC ..... Like I said, only if you have HBC properly installed to use IOS58.

Launch HBC, press Home button, look at your top right corner.
if not 58, reinstall HBC.


your setup is probably a mess and missing other things.
please, either follow a modmii tutorial to put everything back as it should, or post a syscheck report so we can see what's missing.



Oh, and, no mention of IOS58 in any neek install tutorial, because it's NOT needed for neek.
you can (and should) run neek from bootmii, not from a channel.
the channel is a bonus (the channel need IOS58, not nSwitch nor bootmii nor neek nor USBGX to launch neek either)
and also because, like I said, people are SUPPOSED to already have a properly softmoded up to date console. No Idea why your console is outdated while having system menu 4.3 installed. You bought it like that ?
starting with syscheck would have fixed your issue a lot faster.

Everything is clear now :)

my hbc is install on 61, I dont know why it didnt install on 58, the installer just did it like that. If I install it again it will be on 61 ?

You have to reinstall the HBC to pick up IOS58. The installer looks for the best version and hard-codes the channel for it.

You can just download the hackmii_installer zip and run the boot.elf in it.

You don't need to reinstall ios61 unless it is patched. It wouldn't do any harm even if it is patched anyway.

You should have posted your syscheck log already.
Asking questions but not following advises and then make rash actions could be dangerous.

You should also learn the differences between cios emunand and neek, they are both emu nand but works very differently. I don't use wiiflow but I believe setting emunand to full only applies to cios emunand, at least that is what usbloader gx does.

You don't need neek except for the few games that is not compatible with softmodded real nands and cios emunand and

1. neek is slow to boot.
Way slower than starting a usb loader if you only care about Wii game launching or cios emunand.

2. "lack" of homebrew support that requires cios (like usbloader gx for Wii games launching). Lack of support for cheats/mods etc.

3. work "exactly" like real nand except for the DI interface. Why not just use real nand unless you want to protect the real nand from wear and tear, banner bricks or trying to install loads of channels.
I have my Wii from 2006 and it is still in good condition ( I used mostly real nand and cios emunand). Banner bricks can be fixed easily with bootmii@boot 2 or priiloader. It shouldn't happen anyway if you choose your wad sources carefully. Never happened to me anyway. In worst case, just test them in neek, no need to always autoboot into neek.
Installing loads of channels is not recommended and you will have difficulties in finding them in neek, your choice anyway. You can also install loads of channels with cios emunand too.

have you tried neek2o from HBC? experiment with it for a while before taking the autoboot route.

see, your system menu is still 4.2, and not 4.3.
that's why you didn't have IOS58 and why HBC used 61 because you didn't have 58.
HBC is not installed INTO 61, not has patched 61 either. It's just using the official Nintendo's hardware and security drivers available in the folder named 61 to function properly.

AND, you still have d2x r53 (which is not compatible with all HDD when using emuNAND. Either it works, either it won't, but based on your report it doesn't work with your HDD so you should reinstall r52 with same version and base)

your other setup seems fine.
DO NOT Install system menu 4.3 manually ! you need IOS80 first. doing it in the wrong order will semi-brick your console (but you can bypass with priiloader)
system menu version has no effect on your console (it's NOT the console's firmware version), I'm still on system menu 3.2E and everything is working fine. Don't try to update.

Thats because I just reinstall hackmii before doind the test, thats why we see ios58 :)

Ok I will reinstall with r52 then, thanks a lot for your help :)

Someone know where I can get wad2iso tool ? I would like to try this instead of creating emunand or run meek to play wiiware games without having to install it on reals band or on emnunand. I found a link but in the setup it can't connect to a server or something and the setup failed...

ah ok, so I just have to download it with nus downloader and install the wad ? Do I need to install hackmii after that ?

Why do you not just do an official over-the-air update then reinstall cIOSes? You are overcomplicating everything.

Read carefully, I don't think it can do what you wanted. You need to install the wads anyway, You may install them to real nand, transfer to SD then use a modified ios80 to load them (don't ask me, never bothered to try it) You may as well try emulators, most of the WiiWare/VC are available on other platforms.

I can see you are adventurous, good luck, don't brick.

ah ok, so I just have to download it with nus downloader and install the wad ? Do I need to install hackmii after that ?

You don't need to reinstall HBC by just updating an ios.
To update to 4.3 over the air, just connect to internet and update. If you have blocked updating by Priiloader or whatever, you need to unblock it, but it will stub your cios and probably HBC too, so you will need to re-softmod again.

I have trouble getting usb loader gx working to launch wiiware on neek.

I installed d2x v8 final on my real nand.
I can boot on neek via bootmii, I made the initial setup, sync wiimotes, set date and time, etc.
Inside neek I can go back to real nand with the channel.

On real nand, in usb loader gx, I can play every wii games.
I used wad manager of usb loader gx to install wiiware on the neek emunand, all the wiiware installed show in the list of games.

I have also setup the emunand channel and emunand save both to full.

So everything seem to be setup correctly but I have a black screen when I try to load a wiiware game. I try to setup the game settings to neek or default, same result, black screen.

I notice that I had to install neek2o channel on reald nand to be able to use the option inside usb loader gx to boot on neek..

And I also put the file cert.sys in the nand sys folder.

Do NOT set settings randomly without understanding what they are.

EmuNAND SAVE : this has nothing to do with what you want !
this is done to redirect Wii disc based games savegame to emuNAND instead of saving into the console.
it affects only the savegame of wbfs games !
I don't recommend using this option, just keep that option to Disabled.

EmuNAND Channel : this is what you want (the channels installed on emuNAND)
if you set that setting to "full" instead of "neek", then you specifically told the loader to NOT use neek, but cIOS mode by default.
This is the best setup, you just need to change that setting on individual basis, only for games not working with cIOS mode and make them use neek mode instead.

I have a black screen when I try to load a wiiware game
which game? not all of them are working, a lot of game need specific settings (even with neek mode).

I notice that I had to install neek2o channel on reald nand to be able to use the option inside usb loader gx to boot on neek..
Huu? not at all.
USBLoaderGX does NOT use that channel on real NAND. it's used by neek2o on emuNAND to exit back to realNAND automatically if you enable "return to" option in USBLoaderGX (global or individual setting).

How are you booting into neek when you are inside the loader? maybe you are not doing what you should.
it feels like you don't know how to use USBLoaderGX's interface or what each settings are used for.

And I also put the file cert.sys in the nand sys folder.
What?
No idea what you are doing, not where you've read anything like that. It feels like you just do random things and expect to do its magic.
not following a guide, not listening to what we tell you and not telling us what you are about to do (to be sure you don't do something dangerous) is not helping. We really don't like people not listening when we spend time helping them.


I think we did the mistake (at the beginning of your thread) to think you knew what you were doing, because Neek is ADVANCED hacking.
noob rarely want to do this, and we just except that users who want and know and has heard about that mode already have a properly hacked and correctly setup console, with all common apps working fine.

To me, it seems you just started in reversed way, wanting to do and setup advanced hack without even having done initial hacks. You didn't have IOS58, you had old setup and missing information about how the console is working.
you started by setting up a tool dependent on other apps, without even having these apps nor knowing how they work.

Thanks for your help, I can assure you I am not noob :) As for the settings, I choose to put the save games on emunand.

I read many tutorial that copy cert.sys is necessary, without it, starting a wiiware show on screen that system files is corrupted..

Now I have a black screen on every wiiware games I try to launch, mega man 9 for example, I know there is somes games require to set to use neek in the game options.

I know you mention in one of your tutorial there is not necessary to install neek2o channel to be able to launch it throught usb loader gx, but based on my tests, before installing it, if I go into featured options and click on start neek (I dont remember exactly the name of that option) it just reboot the wii, after installing the neek2o option, now it launch neek.

I dont make things randomly, I do somes tests based on what you tell me and share my results to help.

There is another test I just made. I wipe out neek emunand of my hdd and use the usb loader gx option to dump my nand. After reinstalling mega man 9 on that emunand, it start flawless!!

Maybe it was something with the emunand that modmii created ?

I will try again later with a fresh emunand created with modmii to see if it work or not and let you know :)

I also notice something strange in usb loader gx option Exit To

It show the list of possible exit to.
Homebrew channel
Usbloader gx
Etc

For each choice it show the hex code
537653f (something like that) and the title id and title name.

For some reason the title name of usb loader gx show as Unknown

Same thing for snes9xgx forwarder

Any idea if this is normal or not ?

I dont know if its clear, I can take a screenshot later if you want :)

the issue with USBGX is probably due to the missing IOS58 that you added now.
maybe the loader's setting has been affected.

The channel's name and titleID are read at console's boot, before loading the game list from USB.
to get NAND access this earlier, you need cIOS or IOS58 + AHB access.
maybe something is not done correctly with your boot sequence.
But it doesn't affect the way it works, it's just a visual element.



As for the "launch neek" option, Like I said it's loading kernel.bin directly in memory, it never involves nswitch or any channel located on real nand. I really don't know why it worked only after you installed it (for example, I don't have it, and it works fine).
probably just a random synchronicity :P


I never heard of the cert.sys needed to fix that error. Maybe modmii is not creating all needed files? or maybe your console forgot to create it on first neek launch?
I always make a dump from my own realNAND and don't have any problem.

now, extracted bootmii's nand.bin and FS dump of the NAND seems to generate a different dump. nand.bin is bigger and I wonder what's missing in the NAND dump done by file system extractors.

the issue with USBGX is probably due to the missing IOS58 that you added now.
maybe the loader's setting has been affected.

The channel's name and titleID are read at console's boot, before loading the game list from USB.
to get NAND access this earlier, you need cIOS or IOS58 + AHB access.
maybe something is not done correctly with your boot sequence.
But it doesn't affect the way it works, it's just a visual element.



As for the "launch neek" option, Like I said it's loading kernel.bin directly in memory, it never involves nswitch or any channel located on real nand. I really don't know why it worked only after you installed it (for example, I don't have it, and it works fine).
probably just a random synchronicity :P

Yes, I will try to look at it what is the difference between two dump to see what is missing on the nand created by modmii, Ill let you know my observations ;)

About launch neek, I will try to add neek folder on usb and on sd card and see if it boot with usb loader gx option. Maybe the bug coming with a bad nand from the beginning ?

As for the visual text unknown in usb loader gx, I notice it was not like that before I update a bunch of cios. After the sys check, I drop it in modmii and it generate a lot of wad to update cios. After that the text become "Unknown", I try to reinstall the forwarder to see if it fix that issue, no luck, but you saying the text coming from the boot sequence ?

I think I just have too much things installed. I will make a restore, I have my almost untouched nand.bin, so I will juste restore it and it should fix that bug.

But does a restore affect priiloader and custom health screen ?

do not make a restore. You don't have a lot installed, on the contrary.
and having a lot has no effect, no conflict. any app running uses only ONE system file (IOS) at a time. other IOS are not interacting with the one currently used by the app.

restore (bootmii nand restore?) affects EVERYTHING. it's a full copy of the NAND at a specific time.
