Hi, all, I am somewhat new to posting in this forum but I've gotten a lot of good info from here over the years. I've spent the whole week trying to solve this problem but haven't found an answer yet. I've had my original 4.3U Wii softmodded for a long time and using USBLoaderGX to play games from a usb drive. I've never had any problem with games as they were originally released and I mostly play Mario, Skylanders, and Wii Sports. This is my first time attempting to play modded Wii games, specifically Mario Kart Retro Rewind and NSMB Retro Remix. I didn't know about them until a couple of weeks ago and I'd really like to try these. For MK RR I've followed the tutorial here several times to patch my iso file but I can't get the resulting file to work. No matter what I try it either returns me to the Wii home screen or hangs on a black screen. NSMB RR is a pre-patched .wbfs I found online instead of patching my iso and I get the same result. My MK and NSMB isos are ripped from my own discs, and for MK I also tried patching an un-modded .wbfs found elsewhere, but still no joy. I've tried with the channel forwarder and directly from USBLGX. I've tried running from two different flash drives and two different SD cards, all formatted as FAT32. And I've tried two different versions of USBLGX, 3.0r1281 that I've been using for a long time and a recent download of 4.0r1283. The same usb drives and SD cards have no problem playing un-modded games such as original Mario Kart or Wii Sports, including with both USBLGX versions. Is there any cios that is required for modded games to work? I have an old file from the syscheck app if you need to what cios I have installed. My Wii was softmodded with LetterBomb and Hackmii 0.8. I can say that I have d2x-v10-beta52, and since this syscheck report I've only added PriiLoader 0.10.0 and updated Homebrew Channel from 1.0.8 to 1.1.4.

Most games that I've used for DML work fine but there are 3 games that won't work right.

-NFS: Carbon - Wont load
-NFS: Most Wanter - Freezes at title screen
-Tony Hawk's American Wasteland - Crashes everytime a player falls on the ground.

I know that not all games will work with DML but the compatibility charts have shown all 3 to work fine. Here's what I use:

-DML v2.6
-Dios Mios Booter r30
-USB Loader GX r1209

*I use both loaders, and get the same result on both.

Tried with NMM both on and off. No Disc is off and I have a Wii Disc in the drive. Other than that everything is at their default settings. I'm not sure how to fix this problem. I have DMLr52.elf after looking around and thinking i should update my DML if it needs it, but I have no idea how to install it. Not sure if it'll help though.

***Edit: I Installed a WAD file i found (rvl_mios_v10_r52), and now the games all load fine with Neogamma, but I don't see a NMM option on Neogamma. Is there a way to use NMM using this loader
