Hacking Which USB loader should I use ?

What is the recommended USB loader ?

I know 3 so far, WiiFlow, USB Loader GX and Configurable USB loader...

which one do you recommend and why ?

I use two of them, WiiFlow Lite and USB Loader GX. Some games work better (are more stable) on one or another, so I try them both. I haven't tried Configurable USB Loader.

There's nothing wrong with using only one of them, but I like to have more options available.

Which one do you prefer though ? If you could only have one, which one would you choose ?

Also, Which one is better at listing GC games ? which one has better compatibility with nintendont ?

Aren't the USB Loaders all just frontends? Aren't the cIOS' what decide the compatability?

All 3 of them.

- to support the Developers.
- to get Games working,if they would not work with one of the Loaders (One Loader is ALWAYS working.

).

The "easiest" is the Configurable USBLoader (MOD),in 99 Percent of the Cases - nothing to do/change a Setting.
No really Knowledge about "Things" is needed - just "Plug and Play.

USBLoader GX needs Knowledge about how Things are working.Very good Way for learning and understanding.
With @blackb0x ´s Time and Help it is actual further developed.
The main Developer @Cyan decided to do other Things (but has always an Eye on it...I know,he is watching us..

)

WiiFlow Lite (MOD) from @fledge68 is an awesome All in One Loader not only for GameCube/Wii Games.
Very easy to use,needs also "Understanding" how Things work.
It has an awesome Support for Cover/Art/Themes/Emulators and is still further developed.

So you maybe understand,why maybe using all 3 Loaders.

Thank you.

Whats the difference between Wiiflow and Wiiflow lite ?

Wiiflow has problems with Nintndont ... does Wiiflow lite have the same problem ?

Do USB Loader GX and Configurable USB loader play nice with Nintendont ?

WiiFlow is outdated (v4.2.1 from December 2013)
and is no longer maintained/further developed.Please do no longer use it.

All 3 Loaders play nice with Nintendont.

Maybe I should've mentioned that I load NGC games directly from Nintendont which is loaded using the Homebrew Channel. I don't use them to load anything diferent but Wii games. Also, I don't use forwarders/channels on Wii Menu (except for the Homebrew Channel ofc), I like to keep it simple but totally functional, so if an issue arises I know what to check and I won't be guessing.
