Hacking Black Screen on Game Boot

[G00D3]

Hello!

I decided to homebrew my old Wii a couple of days ago. Mario Kart Wii & Smash Bro's are not loading through USBLoaderGX or WiiFlow. I get a black screen upon pressing "start", the Wii becomes unresponsive and the controller powers off. I initially had a USB 3.0 flash drive but had no success, so I purchased a compatible USB 2.0 drive from the "compatible drive" list. I have also tried changing the settings in USBLoaderGX but haven't had any success. I made a System check, so maybe you guys can help me. I am completely new to Wii modding so any help would be really appreciated.

Which guide have you followed?

In all honesty I just followed this youtube video:



Then discovered this forum shortly after having issues...

 

[godreborn]

flash drives are often the cause of black screens. use an hdd.

 

[CoolMe]

Test again with Mario Kart Wii on the SD card, and see if it works, if it does then it's the USB.

I'd seen this on other forums. I'm not sure this is the issue though? I specifically purchased a new flash drive on the "compatible list"

You can format the usb flash drive as WBFS with this software. And put the files again & see if it works.

USBs are known to cause problems with the Wii, you can format it as wbfs to make it work a tad better. But an external HDD with a Y-cable is always recommended.

Thanks I'll give it a go

Btw, you don't have bootmii or priiloader installed, u should do that now

If u need help, use Modmii's syscheck updater, just drag and drop your syscheck.csv onto modmii.exe
