Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[kylster]

hm... maybe try a different USB Loader? i use WiiFlow and CFG Loader now but in the beginning WiiFlow did not work for me no matter what cIOS i had it running under but now since they updated past rev192 it works perfectly.

if you get the same error with Wiiflow, USB Loader GX you may need to reinstall your cIOS; you can grab blue dump off filetrip and extract your cIOS to your sd card and install those on his. Don't worry IOS's are universal for the most part at least same regions will be ok to install on each other i've done this plenty. seeing as when im switching from cIOS to cIOS for compatibility or testing with certain apps it's easier to do a WAD install rather then load up the installer inself.

In order to use BlueDump you need IOS36 pathed with TB,ESI,NA

There is also BlueDump with AHBPROT somewhere around. No need for IOS patches at all.

I tried searching have turned up nothing.. is there a way to navigate between alphabet letters? for example if you are in the A's and you want to jump to the next letters like the B's or Z's, is there a way?

 

[kylster]

the only thing i can think of is going under the options by pressing (1) twice and sorting by Name A-Z mine is setup by default like this.

Is there a way to set network initialization at/after startup? It would be great for faster winnertag gamecard report along with a faster game start.

OK newbie here, struggling to get CFB USB loader to read my HDD. Have already run loader off a USB stick through forwarder with no problems and game played fine. Have now purchased WD passport 320gb and formatted and setup same as USB stick, but everytime I try to run loader I get the mounting message, 30 second retry, and error ret=-1. I have also tried a WD 2.5" SATA drive inside a HDD enclosure and got the same error message. What am I doing wrong, as the HDD is off the compatible list, it works via USB so am now scratching my head. Am using 4.2E softmod wii. Modded 18 months ago via old guide on here. (Have done search but could not find any similar problem)
Thanks.

Have already tried that, but still no joy? HDD is formatted to FAT32 by the way.

you could also try updating your softmod with modmii

Cheers Porubo. To update my softmod would I just follow the guide in the wii hacking section, but avoid the bit where I update to 4.2 (because obviously I am already on this). Plus is there any risk in overwriting old softmod with new softmod?

 

[Porobu]

use modmii say your wii is a virgin and you will have everything updated and there aree no risks

 

[amines2058]

Cheers againb Porobo, lets hope this works. Was just perplexed to the fact that my 4gb USb stick would work but the HDD would not? Hope it is not a HDD compatability problem or it is £40 down the drain.

Porobu, amines2058: please don't use so many nested quotes.

amines2058: try installing hermes cios (222) and using cfg61-222.dol

 

[amines2058]

Apologies for the quotes oggzee and thanks for advice! Anyway being the newbie that I am I thought that I had hermes cios 222 from my previous softmod install? Is there a more updated version to install, and if so how would I go about this, sorry for the probably obvious stupid questions. (Am currently on cfg50 so looks like I am a little behind there)

If you're at v50 then first update to v61 and retry, maybe try also with v60.
If you already have cios 222, then make sure it's at least v4 or more.
Then try cfg61-222 or v60-222.
Btw you can also try to unplug the drive and plug back in while the countdown to 30 is ongoing, sometimes that helps, but it's a rather cumbersome solution.

 

[VashTS]

i was going to suggest trying v60. ive been there for a while its a really stable release and the best to base compatibility with your drive.

the wii just may not like your HDD. usb powered drives can be picky. i don't think updating your cios will help you, but it is recommended to do so.

Hi everybody!

I'm using the Configurable USB loader v.61 with my external drive and I'm happy with it
I also have a SDHC and I'd like to put some game in there to play when I don't want to go around with the external drive (at friend's house, for example).

Is SDHC fully supported at the moment or there are any problems?
I'm asking because I'm not able to play any games on my SDHC (they run on the external HD): I keep getting the error "setting up fragments"
I tried IOS 249, 222, 223 and 250 without succes; I installed the game directly to the SD from a retail original DVD. The SDHC is Fat32.
I tried FragExt too, but nothing happened

I solved the problem: I installed the ciosx rev 20 to IOS56 and everything works.

Thx

Hey all...

So I've been working with a soft-mod'ed Wii for about 2-3 weeks. Works like a charm. Have a few of my games copied onto my HDD and using the CFG to load and play. When I installed - I had v58 of CFG USB Loader. So today I finally used the 'online feature' within the CFG to upgrade to v61. No prob. Installed. Got a new splash screen. But all my covers disappeared. And when I go to down load all covers - I get the code dump....EVERY single time. Waits the 60 seconds - and then reloads.

I really would like my covers back. What happened? Is it an easy fix? How do I do it?

Thanks much in advance!

Exact same thing is happening to me. This happened to me before (while using v58) and I read that if you delete all the covers in the cover folder it'll work again. Well, I did that then and it worked, but that trick doesn't work with v60 apparently.

Anybody know why this is?
