Homebrew Delete or overwrite cIOS slots?

Yeah so the games show fine and I can open the start screen but when I click "Start", the screen fades to black and stays black for about 3 seconds and returns me to the homebrew menu.

Didn't have an hdd but i tried an ssd and it didnt work.

You click Start in-game? And it goes to black? That doesn't make sense at all. You mean when you launch the game on USBLoaderGX it takes you back to the Homebrew Channel?

Sounds normal for a device not getting enough power for both power and data

I don’t believe I’m in-game at that point yet. It’s like the screen on system menu when you click a channel and it says “Wii Menu” and “Start”.

I just tested and if I launch usbloadergx from homebrew menu, it takes me there but if I launch it from the system menu it takes me there.

The games show up in usbloadergx with the ssd and i can browse it on my laptop fine.

Do you mean to convert the stick to wbfs or the games? The games are already in wbfs format.

Are you sure your games are on the wbfs folder, on either the flash drive or hdd? And did you transfer them with Wii Backup manager?
With the external hdd, are you plugging it in port 0? Does it pass the usb initiation screen?

The usb flash drive. But i suggest trying/testing with the hdd for now.

The games are in the usb like this: USB (F\wbfs\GAME NAME [GAME ID]\[GAME ID].wbfs
I didn't transfer them with wii backup manager but I can try that. I always plug the devices into the bottom port and it does pass the screen.

 

[godreborn]

That's correctly setup, so I think it's the drives you're using.

What should I do then? Should I buy an hdd?

 

[godreborn]

Yes

I transferred the games with wii backup manager and they work now! I thought it was only necessary if they were in .iso format but apparently not. Thanks for the help!!

Also your drive should be formatted as FAT32, and with an MBR partition for it to work correctly.
