My problem with USB Loader GX is that it's frozen at "Reinitializing devices". I inserted my 16GB USB into the Wii a few hours ago, so it's been like that for quite a while. It is on IOS58, I think.

Can you guys help me?

My 2 SD cards work perfectly, it's just the USB that's the problem.
It looks like you have isolated the problem. Continue to use SD cards and devices that you know work if possible.

Formatting the USB device might help. Probably won't. It's a real crapshoot with USB sticks. Many users recommend an external HDD but I personally suggest a high capacity SD card to keep it all internal.

A small capacity internal HDD and external enclosure isn't expensive.

don't use the word "USB" (connector type) to talk about "flashdrive" (device type).
because HDD (external hard disc drive, with rotating magnetic plates) are also using USB connector type !

this is USB

This is flash drive, pendrive, USB stick, USB key, whatever you want to call it, don't give it "usb" name only.
These ARE NOT WORKING correctly.

This is external HDD, what you want for Wii and vWii and WiiU:

if it's too expansive :
don't by 8TB ! just find a 250GB instead
don't by lot of random 32GB flashdrive which will not work, you'll waste your money more than buying ONE working HDD.



If you can boot inside CFGLoader, you might not be able to play any game, so no, it's not working.
if you can read content, you can't write (dump disc, download covers, etc.) so no it's not working correctly.
If you want to change a setting in USBLoaderGX to be like other loaders, go to settings>loader's settings. Change "loader's IOS" from 249 to 58.
but like I said, it'll fake that it works, but you'll notice that it doesn't.

SD Card can't be used to play Wii games with USBLoaderGX, you'll need CFGLoader or wiiflow, and you need to know that some games don't work on SD but work fine on USB (kirby for example).

Actually, I can play Wii games using CFGLoader. I was also able to download covers. GC games don't work on it though, but that's what Nintendont is for.

Cover download is probably working because they are downloaded to SD card! (not the flash drive)

your drive is FAT32 or WBFS?
if it's WBFS it can work with wii games.
if it's FAT32 and working with CFG, that's strange that it doesn't work with USBGX too. did you try to set IOS to 58 in the settings?

My drive is indeed FAT32. And I did not download any covers to the SD card.

I didn't change the IOS yet, but when USBGX is loading up it does say something about IOS58.

Okay, so I changed the loader IOS to 58, and I was able to get past the screen. But now I have a different problem.

On top of that, the USB drive I'm using, which is a 16GB SanDisk Cruzer Edge, isn't on the compatibility list.
