Ok after installing several wads (N64,SNES,NES) most are working, however there are a few that do not run and just give me a black screen. Notably:

N64 - Kirby and the crystal shards
SNES - Super Mario RPG

Im pretty sure I have the US version of the games, not PAL.

Should updating my IOS fix this? Such as d2x?

I'm not sure what the problem is..

VC games do not use cIOS files; they use IOS files. They're likely bad dumps. You could try making sure all your IOS files are up to date (use ModMii and its sysCheck updater function), but you're more likely to have luck with different WAD files.

I've never used ModMii. Is there another good app I can use from HB channel to update my IOS files?

It's recommended you just use ModMii. However, as I said earlier, the problem is likely just your VC WAD files being bad dumps or the wrong region.

Have you tried enabling Region Free Channels at priiloader and booting the games up? I've had a couple of games that would black screen me unless I would enable region free.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
