Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[blackb0x]

@blackb0x , can you comment on this when you get a chance plz? Thanks!

The current public version of USB Loader GX lacks all of the code necessary to look for and load Wii games from an SD card. GameCube games can be loaded from an SD card though.

I've got the cIOS' installed as well as the Hermes cIOS', but i still can't boot the games. I've tried several formats and settings, but I always crash to the homebrew menu when booting up a game. any clue?

Just make sure it's synced with the system before entering Nintendont. And use it when inside Nintendont.

When I try to start a VC or WW game from my emuNand I just get a black screen. Anyone know how I can fix this?

The emuNand is a copy of my internal Nand and is on my SD. It was created with USB Loader GX and the games start there without any problems. But since USB Loader GX is not running properly at the moment, I switched to Configurable USB Loader Mod where I would like to play games from my emuNand too.

I don't know if cfg usb loader supports emunand or not, are you sure that it does?
Anyway, have you tried installing vc/wiiware wads anew once you're in the Emunand, or with Showmiiwads? I suggest trying it.
Also, there's a game compatibility with wiiware on emunand you should be aware of, as not all of them are compatible.
What region is your emunand, and what region are your installed wads? What video cable are you using?
I'd recommend using this modded version of usbloadergx by @blackb0x btw.

Latest Cfg usbloader mod (from modmii) does in fact support emunands and nintendont

The emuNand and VC/WW games have previously worked in USB Loader GX. The emuNand and the Wii are both PAL (EU), the VC/WW Games are Europe, and one is Japanese but patched to English and Region Free. The cables are the original red-white-yellow cables. I already have the USB Loader GX from @blackb0x , but as noted above it does not work properly at the moment.

I have downloaded CFG USB Loader with ModMii and replaced my version with it, and also copied my emuNand from SD to USB. Now when I want to start a VC or WW game I end up in the Homebrew Browser.

When copying I noticed that a few new folders were created on my SD card (import, sys, ticket, title, tmp), and the same now on the USB. It's like CFG USB Loader is trying to create a completely new emuNand. Is it possible that I did not declare the path correctly? I currently have nand_emu_path = usb:/emuNAND set in sd:/usb-loader/config.txt. Should it be nand_emu_path = usb:/emuNAND/? Or any different?



With nand_emu_path = usb:/emuNAND/ I end up back in the homebrew browser again.

In your \apps\usbloader_cfg folder have you put neek2o.dol and mighty.dol in there? I believe they are required for emunand.

I am using that version and that is all I had to do. I just relied on the default path for the NAND dump.

 

[XFlak]

if you grab it from ModMii, those files are already included and in the right locations

Yeah. I noticed he said he just copied it from ModMii so I was wondering if he copied all the directories/files or just some.

A long long time ago I modded my Wii. So recently I cleaned it (virginize it), mod it again.
Now, I am unable to load my games using CFG loader v70. It says cIOS222 something then will stucks on that screen.
I used d2x v10 for modding.

I am able to use USB Loader GX but I prefer CFG loader as I like to customize my banner. a single banner on CFG.
Any help on how to get CFG loader compatible with IOS58? Thanks

 

[impeeza]

you never need to "clean" the modded, but you did it, reinstall all the cIOS you originally have, the 249, 250, 252, 222, 223, etc.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I figure it out.
I downloaded meta.xml and I use CfgLoaderConfigurator.exe to change the IOS.

Ran into a similar situation earlier this year after modding a 2nd Wii, and at the end of the day when it came down to it, my issue stemmed from user error being that I overlooked a specific instruction from the Wii.guide site. Glad to hear you were able to get things up and running after troubleshooting.

I've just installed the latest cfg loader. Everythings works fine except Emunand.
I have my emunand in usb:/nands/eu_pl (both usb loader gx and wiiflow lite detects it)
I have both mighty.dol and neek2o.dol in loader_usb folder.
However, cfg loader says i have no games in my emunand. What's wrong here?
Incidentally, booting into uneek from cfg loader doesn't work either. Whenever I try, it hangs while it's writing nand files into the root of the usb but that's not what a want (once again, I can access uneek just find from usb loader and wiiflow).

I'm not even sure if it has emunand support, which might explain what you're experiencing..

Well, the loader definitely let you choose between Wii, Gamecube and VC games, so I asumed those would be part of an emunand. It also allows emulation saves full, which might be an emunand option? (i don't get the difference between usb and full tbh). Maybe other users have faced a similar issue.

Wii/GC games should work regardless if they're for emunand (Sneek/Uneek) or sysnand, as they both share the same directory. As for VC games, it depends on where you install them, emunand or sysnand.

Again, i'm not sure if CFG loader supports emunands, were you having issues with either usbloadergx and /or Wiiflow Lite, and that's what led you to look for CFG loader?
emunand works very well on both if you haven't tried it..

(i don't get the difference between usb and full tbh).

There's "full" or "partial" save emulation. It's only for Wii saves, it creates saves on your usb or sd instead of on the sysnand. And has nothing to do with the Uneek/Sneek emunand..
