Hello,
Complete noob here. My little boy's birthday is coming up, and I bought him a pre-modded Wii "With 7000 games". It came with a SD card and a USB disk drive. When I first unpacked it, it worked fine. I was able to load Wii games off the drive with the pre-installed USB Loader GX.
Next day.... no joy. USB loader GX crunches along, with various messages, and then displays a useless menu of emulators. It seems obvious that it is not using the disk at all. The disk light does come on, and the Wii counts down from 20 to zero waiting...for something.
I have no clue as to where to even start troubleshooting this. I am BTW a retired software engineer, and have a LOT of experience wrestling with small computers.
I plugged the USB disk into one of my Linux servers, and it seems to have good stuff on it.
The following directories:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 32768 Aug 19 01:29 $RECYCLE.BIN
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 32768 Aug 18 22:13 System Volume Information
drwxr-xr-x 237 root root 32768 Oct 20 2018 games ( about 300G of stuff in here )
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 32768 Aug 5 2018 saves ( about 24M of stuff in here )
drwxr-xr-x 286 root root 65536 Oct 18 2018 wbfs ( about 600G of stuff in here )
Web resources suggest that the hot ticket for this filesystem is FAT32. The USB disk is not FAT32, but rather VFAT. I don't
think that's the problem, because it did work when I unpacked the system.
I dug a 60G drive out of my junk and formatted it FAT32. Copied a few games onto it, plugged it into the Wii. No joy, doesn't work. Same as the original drive.
At first, I thought I had something - I had found a file "nincfg.bin" in the disk root directory. A web search revealed that this file is produced by an emulator "nintendont". And if it exists, USB loader GX is not able to mount the drive. So I deleted it. ( after copying it to my server ). No joy, no difference.
Any hints as to what to try next? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
@ Bobby12345
Is your hack up to date?
Is your Loader up to date?
To know it follow this guide ==>https://gbatemp.net/threads/posting-a-system-check.300279/
Post the whole syscheck report here.
Not knowing too much Linux, it is necessary that your external hard drive is in FAT32. And use "Wii backup manager" to manage your games.

Could be that your external hard drive might have been unplugged and the re-plugged into the wrong port. With the Wii laying flat the USB plug goes into the lower port closest to the edge.
Next it could be you SD card. Eject it and then re-install it. All the software that makes the magic happen is located on the SD card, well 95% of the time. You might also want to try a different SD card to see if that's the issue. You'd want to format it to FAT32 with 32k cluster size and then either copy the software from the old card to the new card of just download the needed items fresh so you have the most up to date stuff. Simply trying a different SD card with a loader on it will let you see if that was the problem. If so you can see about rebuilding the new SD card to match the old one.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Problem found. Duhhhh. There is an option for USB Loader GX to tell it what to look for. One of the checkboxes is "Wii Games". If that's not checked, it basically won't look for anything. I checked it, and now there are lots and lots of games. It says "304 games". That seems a little low - seems to me it was claiming over 500 games when I first unpacked it. But it's enough. My 6 y/o son will be ecstatic. It's a little mysterious how that box got unchecked, but I'm not going to worry about it unless it happens again.
When I click on the SD card icon, the Wii dies, complaining that the card is corrupt. Error 004. I looked that up, it means
"Unauthorized software installed". But I seem to remember that when I unpacked the box, that error was not showing.
For games that have a revision, is there any way to tell which version I have? I'm mostly concerned about games that have game-breaking bugs that were later fixed, many featured in this list: https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/New_edition_games
OK, so now the Wii sees all the games on the disk. There are 304 Wii games, and 200-some-odd Gamecube games.
Are the gamecube games in general, playable? The Wii controller doesn't seem to have the same buttons.
Also, I see that the Wii has built-in wifi. I dug around and found the place to set it, and it says it successfully connected to my network. The Wii offered to do a system update, which I declined. Is the Internet any use for the Wii? I see the Wii shopping channel is no more. Ditto any streaming services. If it's useless, I should probably turn it off. Might be a security hole, especially with my 6 y/o at the controls.

Some can be playable with the Nunchuck attachment if the controls are simple enough, but you'll probably want an official Classic Controller or something similarly compatible depending on what you got it with and what your budget is.
You did the right thing; don't install any system updates without consulting people who know what they're doing. Generally you won't need to and won't want to since it can interfere with homebrew.
Online can still be useful for some games, especially the fan-supported RC24 and Wiimmfi that both aim to re-enable many online services and online game features that were shut down.
OK, I see. There's a DOOR on the Wii. And behind the door, there are four sockets for gamecube controllers. Plus,
there's a little door with two larger sockets. Anybody know what those are for?
Hello.
These are for Gamecube Memory Cards or an SD Gecko (Memory Card to SD Adaptor).
It would be used if you play original Gamecube Games on the Wii for saving.
if there is a folder on the sd card named private it may contain and exploit and if you check the sd card from the wii it will cause it to crash /rename the folder
Hi, I'm kinda new to this forum so sorry if this has been asked before.
I previously had a modded Wii (Via Letterbomb) and installed a custom theme, but as soon as I did so, the console was bricked. So now, three years later, I'm planning on buying another Wii from a friend and am just wondering what's the safest near 0% (I know that's practically impossible I'm juts being hyperbolic here) way to mod a Wii as such to avoid the same problem or any similar problems.

Hello.
Welcome to the Wii Mod section.A place wherer are you near safe today.
With a very great compliment to @XFlak the only answer can be:
USE MODMII
https://gbatemp.net/threads/modmii-for-windows-official-support-topic.207126/
PLEASE read it careful and take your time for the Procedure.
It is very easy to use but as you quite rightly said:
NOTHING is 100 percent perfect and safe and impossible to exclude that something goes wrong.
If you have then more question about modding your Wii or the Tool ModMii,please feel free to ask.
It is better to ask in advance than when it is too late and the damage is beyond repair.
And as you already learned,please be very,very,very careful with installing CUSTOM THEMES on your Wii.
Thank you.
Heya, me and my friend love fortune street, but the AI are absolute shitlords, and nobody wants to play with us, so I was hoping to learn about gecko codes. The idea is that there's a gecko code to give player 1 "infinite" net worth, and all I'd have to do is change it so it gives players 3 and 4 negative net worth. I'm having trouble just finding resources for this, and even though I've opened dolphin in debug mode it doesn't seem to show the *values* of the memory addresses...
@SoggyWafflz IDK about that, maybe try breakpoints? You may also want to look in the Gecko Documentation page.
Hi I have another question (probably and hope it’s my last)
I modded my wii using modmii, installed USB loader GX but when I played a wii game, it only restart the wii. I look and found a “solution “
https://gbatemp.net/threads/usb-loader-gx-restarting-at-wii-menu-upon-loading-games.377306/
but I don’t want to install stuff that I don’t know about about and feels that modmii did a complete modding of my Wii.
Should I do what it’s the link or there’s another solution?
Thanks in advance!

Did you ever read the guide generated by Modmii amd follow it to the T?
I found nothing new in the post you just linked. If you are talking about cios 249/250, I am sure Modmii have told you to install them (not just copy evrything to you SD card/HDD).

Then define what "stuff" - "but I don’t want to install stuff that I don’t know about"
Which games you tried, what usbloadergx version, start from hbc or forwarder, if forwarder, which forwarder- name; version; Wii or vWill
and finally, Syscheck report please and don't tell me you are using flash drives.

Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it. -
