your problem isn't the cfg loader, your problem is having hbc 10.6 on a 3.1 wii. either downgrade your hbc version or update your firmware. I recommend updating ur firmware.( Just a suggestion) I used to have that problem ur are having. In my case I can downgrade my wii to 3.1 or update to 4.1 and I tested that prob. of yours and it happens because of what I told u. Using a forwarder kinda skips the hbc booting process and somehow prevents the black screen when loading cfg loader.

his problem isn't being on 3.1 (although its a shitty firmware to be on, no system menu hacks)
his problem is he has installed the HBC to use IOS36 (which is probably patched), he should install a non-fakesigned IOS61 then reinstall the HBC (via the hackmii installer).
@mimiz, to update/re-hack your wii safely, use nus auto downloader (see my signature)... there are other methods, but nus auto downloader is the easiest (and its legal too!)

does this prob. happens with other homebrew apps? If answer is "yes" (assuming you haven't patched your ios 36) then my point is true and you must download Xflak's Nus Downloader right away.
If answer is "no" then I'm wrong and you must download Xflak's Nus Downloader right away.
You can only choose one of the two options

I'm on a 3.3v1 system menu, and I do have a fakesigned IOS61: do I need a non-fakesigned one to avoid black screens (that I have also with other homebrews)? Note that I do not want to updated the system menu.
@Burton
The problem never happens with other homebrew apps (WiiMC, homebrew browser). At first I thought that the problem had to do with the SD card so I tried with differents models (all under 2GB) without luck. Then I thought about updating the firmware to 4.2 (don't know how to upgrade to 4.0) because this version comes with changes in issues related to SD but when I went to start with the upgrade I discovered that if the wii is connected the problem never happens. Now I'm thinking to upgrade again...
@XFlak
Could you explain me how to install a non-fakesigned IOS61?, I mean, do I have to uninstall HBC first? or even upgrde to 4.2?

You don't need to reinstall anything. I think you can use DOP-Mii to install it, saying it not to fakesign it during installation.
Now I join this question asking: if I use DOP-Mii to do that, what about ES_Identify and NAND permission patches? Do I have to apply them?

@ mimi and wiixale,
If your HBC uses a patched IOS61, it will be upsidedown. If it uses a patched IOS36, 90% of the time u launch an app it will blackscreen.
easiest way to fix it is to use yet another wad manager mod to install the wads (IOS61 and IOS34). You can also use dop-mii (I personally would only use dop-mii if I didn't have the wad and wanted to download it from NUS on the fly... dop-mii is also great for patching IOSs on the fly, but we do NOT want to apply ANY patches (including ES_Identify and NAND permission patches). Use any method to launch yawmm or dop-mii (HBC, bannerbomb, wiixplorer, etc.).
After you finish this, launch the hackmii installer (either via bannerbomb, the HBC, wiixplorer, etc.). Then reinstall the HBC (no need to uninstall it first). If you haven't installed/updated bootmii and dvdx, you can also install those at this time. Exit the installer, it should return u to the HBC, and it should be running smoothly on a non-fakesigned IOS61 now (hit home to confirm). (note that if your HBC was already installed to use IOS61, you don't need to reinstall the HBC... but it doesn't hurt)
I apologize to the configurable USB loader team, this has gotten way off-topic... @ mimi and wiixale, if you have more questions on this, please post them in an appropriate thread. I don't mind if u ask in my NUS Auto Downloader thread since it is somewhat related (since it has this solution as an option), but there are probably many threads that were made specifically for this issue, and I'm sure any questions you might have, have probably been answered already in those threads.

In fact this little off-topic was kinda necessary because sometimes we blame the loader because of black screens etc. and we forgot that there are other things involved like ios, bad dumps, etc. that may be the responsible of the loader bad behavior.wiixale said:XFlak said:
I apologize too, my intention wasn't about going off-topic so much.
Thank XFlak for the support.
Let's come back to CFG.
Good work Cfg Team.
Actually, I really appreciate this info too. I was surprised that the error wasn't more common amongst those that used my tutorials to hack the Wii, but now I have an explanation. One thing that separates my tutorials from the rest is that I use TBR to install the patched IOS36 into the 236 slot, not the 36 slot. Thus, the normal IOS36 remains unpatched.
Almost every other tutorial I've seen out there, Dop-Mii's 36 installation and other methods seem to prefer to patch the existing IOS36 and leave it that way. I've been specifically avoiding changing the TBR steps in my tutorial simply because I wanted to leave the Nintendo IOSes in normal condition whenever possible. Seems like it was a good idea!

mmm, I use this loader, and it works very well, congratulations to all the CFG Team, but have some Idea.
1) an automatic selection of the best IOS to run a game ( like the automatic selection of Alt dol files) It will be useful for newbie that want to run games like MH3, Rockband and GH.
2)an option that allow to download and install necessary IOS(i.e. If appear the message "ios 249 non found" apper another message tha says "Do you want to download and install it?")If the GX can load .dol, CFG can do it for Waninkoko's and Hermes' cIOS installer.(I mean this installer must be incorporated with the boot.dol of configurable, or the file become too large?
Thanks for this loader, and I'm sorry for my awful english..

I LOVE the Configurable USB Loader. Thanks so much for making life awesome.
As the owner of http://kc-mm.com, I can tell you that the community of brawlers awaits a way to do the following:
Load Super Smash Bros. Brawl with Ocarina cheats enabled STRAIGHT from the Wii system menu. The forwarder channel that gets me to CusbL's app is great! But if we could start the game straight from a channel (with Ocarina enabled) - life would be complete.
