I have a black wii that I have tried to softmod to play gamecube backups. I originally softmodded it about a year ago with whatever the most current guide at the time on here was and it worked perfectly with USB loader but not with discs because it had a d3-2 drive so last week I tried to get it to boot gc homebrew through my sd gecko and I tried to do things to the mios to make this work and I think this may be the root of the problem. Anyway yesterday I bought an old wii and I modded it using the 4.3 and below guide and I installed the wiigator cmios 0.2 and my mini DVD-r backup of windwaker worked so I then switched the disc drives with my black wii and I installed neogamma rv9 beta 47 and it always hangs at the loading back up screen so I tried updating the ios using the 4.3 and below guide and the wiimii guide using virgin settings and I have tried various different cmios and I get the same result. I have also tried gc backup launcher and the game starts but the controller is non responsive. Any ideas would be brilliant I am 4.2e and I have used the old guide from a year ago then the 4.3 and below guide using all 4.2 options and lastly the wiimii guide gave me 41 ios to install so I installed all of them.

I still have the other wii that the backups worked on until I changed the drive so is there a programme that I can use to compare what both wii's have installed and I could manually copy the good wii

Cheers

You should reinstall the cMIOS on your black wii, use the new cMIOS from the neogamma r9 beta thread. If this doesn't work, try to boot a retail wii game, if this also doesn't work, check if you connected the dvd drive wires correctly. I also have a black wii with switched dvd drive and I can play gamecube backups fine.

Nah I used the same cmios on both wii's and it was the one from that thread I used.

How can I read the syscheck as I will compare the good wii and the bad wii
