(to xflak: it's fine to install and use, but for example, usbloadergx rely on its own forwarder's titleID to do few things like autoboot priiloader and return to loader when exiting a game)
GX can't adjust customize the "return to channel" title ID like cfg USB loader can? I have no problem changing the title ID of modmii's forwarder channel to be more compatible with USB loader gx (not like changing the title id will break compatibility for other tools). I doubt I'd put out an update just for that 1 purpose but I could put it on the back burner to include next time.

BTW, I gotta say it's very flattering to have u peddling ModMii so hard on my behalf. I feel validated, lol :)

yes, it can return to any other installed channel's titleID, sorry I gave this as an example :shy:
I was more thinking about the priiloader UNEO Booter, or bootmii uneo booter. Also, I'm not sure your included channel has the code to read the arguments from meta, and check the loader's settings and dol the same way UNEO does.

Though, the official forwarder seems to have the same init issue than the loader, even though it uses IOS58.
Wiiflow can init all drives properly, but USBGX seems to have issues. maybe your channel does that initialization better. I didn't try.

Don't change the titleID, it would overwrite and conflict with the channel. some users might not like that.
maybe an option to choose which channel to install is better? users could install the uneo forwarder directly with modmii if they choose to install that USBloader. there are two different channels on the repository: wii and vwii.


Well, I think modmii is easy, complete, and has all the right setup. so I push it to everyone when I can :P


Too bad, I think I frightened maninblack. He probably thinks I was angry and feel like he did wrong to ask for help here, but the only wrong thing he did is not listen to what he was told to do :(
when we help someone, we expect the user to follow what we suggest, do it in the proper order, and report back or have a communication before attempting anything else, not trying things randomly in hope it's fine. if you need help, it's because you already didn't do something correctly, listen to people who takes time to help you "in future".

if you still want to fix your console : you miss cIOS in slot 249. that's your problem. the loader can't init the drives if there's no IOS to use.
though, if you had the latest version of the loader, it should also try IOS58 automatically, so if it didn't work you either have an old version of the loader (not surprising) or your device is just not compatible with that IOS (I doubt it), or your USB port doesn't work anymore on your console. There are different ways to test all these possibilities. if you come back here...

Modmii's forwarders are all based on @FIX94's latest forwarder code (or at least the latest as far as I know). I'm pretty sure it looks at the meta.xml for ahbprot tags (and maybe other stuff?).

Your bootmii booter is unique, interesting, and new to me. But also probably redundant with priiloader's capabilities in the end.

I need to invest some time and try GX again. I haven't tried it in years and now it has emulators and emunand support, it's the last loader standing, no one else has pushed an update in ages (AFAIK).

the priiloader version is new (from this year). all these years people used to install the forwarder.dol in priiloader but it didn't work fine with ahb_prot.
greywolf made that priiloader's forwarder launcher instead.
the bootmii mod is exactly the same, but works only for users with [email protected], I don't even know if it's often used.


USBGX has emuNAND and Neek/2o support, and vWii/WiiU gamepad support for wiiu users. I release new updates every 6month/1year, when I have time to do something. I'll try to work on it this month, I need to fix hdd detection and init, and officially release the Wiiu gamepad support.
It doesn't have emulators/plugin system officially. Someone made a mod with this feature.
Wiiflow Lite is still maintained, Fledge just added WiiU gamepad support too.
