Hello.

I have a Wii Serial number LAH111 from Australia. It has firmware 4.2E.

My issue is I cannot get any backup loaders to launch any games from USB either from a hard drive or USB stick. I have tried wiiflow, uloader and USB Loader GX

I followed the guide here http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=171901 and all the steps went well. I then followed the steps here http://usbloadergx.koureio.net/help/readmii to load and install the usb loader GX, and I then installed the games using WBFS manager. The result was that I can load the USB loader, browse games, install covers, but cannot get any games to launch. Every game just renders a black blank screen after a few seconds of hard drive activity. The furthest any game gets is Mario Kart Wii, which will get to the initial safety screen before moving on to a black screen.

I then installed shipchip which surprisingly did work with a selection of games using ios 249. Then I tried neogamma but this will not work also using 249 and it just times out or goes blank. I then installed cIOSCORP version 3.6, and most of my games will load via the main channel using disc's and this seems to work well with the exception of "New Super Mario bros Wii, which will ONLY load using "uloader" and no other program. This is one of the things that is confusing me.

I would really like to get a USB loader working and am looking for advice and a possible cause with the above info as to why i am having issues. If anyone has any help or incite to help me get this "working" it would be much appreciated.

Should I start again and get my wii back to original to start again?, or is there a way to ensure i have the correct files (ios) installed?

Thanks for any and all help

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(

    Loved that game lol

    @SylverReZ, sorry for the stupid suggestion I had in that thread
