It's on Google Code in the first link. You might have to dig a bit as this is the original branch of the loader and not only is Google Code in read-only mode but nobody maintains this version anymore.
I think i got one a "cfg70MODr65.dol" but something tells me i need more then that to put in the apps folder

i just wanna make a backup of a wii game and play off the sd slot;n;

Get this version (yes, yet another branch of it). It's the "original" CFG USB Loader and has everything you need to boot the loader. You can just rename the dol file from the link in the OP to "boot.dol" and drop it in the /apps/USBLoader folder.

My Mighty plugin isn't working; only Gamecube/Wii games show up. The only other person with this issue that I've found by searching didn't get an answer. TI have the same problem regardless of whether I'm using mighty.dol or mighty_ppc27.dol. How do I correct this?
I do have Mighty Channels installed and a NAND backup in the proper directory.

try adding this line in config.txt

nand_emu_path = [path]

replace [path] with the full path to your emunand. example usb:/nands/nand1

Two more questions.

  • When loading a GC game using Nintendont within CFG, how do I get it to keep Nintendont's configuration settings instead of applying its own? Again, I've tried searching for a solution on my own for this, but the one people keep giving - "turn autoboot on within CFG" - well, I just can't find it. And yes, I've tried turning it on in Nintendont.
  • When loading Virtual Console games, my Wii Remotes desync from the console completely. The game boots, but that doesn't do much good without a controller. Why is that happening and how can I stop it?

EDIT: Never mind the first one. I tried something that I didn't think would work.
The second one's still a problem, though.

I think you are missing your sysconf in your emunand or you have one thats not synced with your wiimote. Read the info here it might help.

CFG USB Loader thinks I have 10 gb of free space on my external HDD when in reality I have over 300 gb free. Other than formatting which I will do if I absolutely have to is there any other fix? Windows shows the 300+ gbs.

Hello. I'm a new user , but was already reading a lot here and it was very helpful.

But now i'm "stuck" and need some help.

When i bought my WII it came with usb loader GX, the homebrew channel, Neogamma, M player and CFG usb loader installed on internal memory of WII. A few days ago i wanted to update all those programs offline. It went fine with all, but the CFG usb loader won't update to internal memory of WII. Before i didn't need SD card or USB stick for loading those programs, now i need it for CFG, without it goes black and back to WII menu.

My question is how to bring CFG back to the WII internal memory (not only forwarding)?

Thanks for helping!

Its a very bad idea to isntall a full channel into the wii [as a USB LOADER], its better to install only the forwarder, but if you insist in doing this, you can just search in google for the full channel.

Thanks for anwsering. But why would be installing a full usb loader channel to wii a bad idea? I had it this way long time and had no problems. Do you have a link please? I can't find a full channel and I have searched really a lot.

For starter, cant be updated via wifi, as the boot.dol its embed on the channel, and if it where on the SD its easy, why have it on the wii instead of an SD or USB?

A fat32 device will do the job. you can put your games and your apps there.

I don't update it often, so it's good. I would like to have it on wii, because I often change USB's and SD's with different games and emulators :)
So if someone has a link with the full CFG channel... Plese link it here.

I managed to create a wad from the neogamma and it works! It loads the CFG, but shows icon and animations from neogamma. Has anybody got these files for CFG, so it would look like original? :)

I have tried 3 different Windows (x64) WBFS managers and still cannot get my drive visible. I'm looking to duplicate the drive so I can move it to a SSD. Please Help. WBFS Manager ; Wii Backup Manager ; another that failed. School me please:teach:

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
