Derpdude32 · Aug 17, 2022

I recently found my old Wii again, and now that i know about modding im interested in modding mine. What mods do i need to play older nintendo games and wii games off a usb hard drive on it? I already have a 32gb sd card for the modding and a one tb hard drive for the games, a canvio ready Toshiba to be precise

Yeah, the @ will get his attention.

I erased the wbfs on the hard drive and redownloaded it and now the usbloader boots the game, displays a black screen briefly, and then teleports me to the wii main menu

Hello,

test your external hard drive with a Y-cable, for a better connection with the wii.

But post a syscheck report, as suggested @XFlak

Syscheck looks fine

When gx loads up it uses IOS58 by default, but then reloads to 249 or whatever u have set when launching a game. So it appears the recommended cios does not like your hdd.

U can try another hdd or format it as wbfs, as this often improves hdd compatibility, but then u forgo many of the benefits of fat32, like being able to store apps and GC games, for this you'd need an SD card

Alternatively u can try a different cios, like d2x v10 beta 52 base 58, or v10 beta53. Base 58 won't have perfect game compatibility mind you, and beta53 may present other issues. There are lots of potential cios's options that aren't generally recommended but one could play nicely with your hdd where the recommended cios's appear 5o be falling short. Lots to experiment with on modmii's download page 4 or advanced download page. Also u can enable modmii's hermes cios option to try 222-224 cios's, perhaps they will play nicely with your hdd. Easiest solution is to just get a dif hdd that is supported by the recommended cios's, but I understand this isn't always an option for everyone

Was i supposed to have the hdd pluggesd into the wii when testing?

Derpdude32 · Aug 19, 2022

The HDD seems to be fine, I have SNES9xGX up and running perfectly so I don't know why USBLoader is not cooperating. The current issue is I attempt to boot into New Super Mario Brothers for Wii (Only game I have on there currently) and it flashes me back to the Wii Main Menu
Any ideas?

possibly a compatibility issue. I can't use snes9xGX myself. my hdd isn't detected with any of those emulators, but I can use usb loader gx. I even tried unstealthing my hdd, and it didn't matter.

The compatibility list on gba temp itself informs me my drive is compatible. Is there something Im doing wrong?
