Skyward Sword is a motion plus game... All motion plus games made you watch a stupid safety video at first boot. If you have no motion plus and you don't have a save file that you watched the video the game won't boot.. There was a workaround... ill look for it..

Do you have a motion +? What USB Loader are you using?

The workaround is only useful for setting the flag that indicates you've seen the WM+ video. It involves using the alternate dol method of launching it from a loader. You run the tutorial dol instead of the game dol. You still won't be able to get through the tutorial or play the game without a Wii Motion + module or controller, though.

The tutorial flag is saved in the console's main SYSCONF file so you only have to watch it once for all games that support the controls.

That is the workaround I was talking about, sorry I could not respond sooner. Seems the temp had it covered. WM+ caused some problems with that damn video back in the day,

I got it now but the game won't load, i'm using USB Loader GX

Edit: I fixed it by using Modmii and updating all the IOSs & cIOSs

That would be my next suggestion, ;) Glad you guys got it straightened out.
