Hacking GameCube games won't play on USBLOADER GX

[Chronos2086]

I'm trying to play them through Nintendont. The games will show up on the menu but when I start them I get a screen that says it couldn't load the image file. I'll attach a pic.

Any help would be appreciated.thanks

How is the drive formatted?

I formated it to fat32. I just tried to play the games on Nintendont natively without going to USBgx and that won't even load the HDD, so I'm guessing it has something to do with how its formated. What's a good app to format the drive exactly how supposed to be? It's a 1TB WD Drive if that matters at all.

got a 1tb wd elements works underfully

fat32 make sure its 32K clusters. there is no need of a special software or pixie dust.
does that iso work in dolphin?
try a clean iso, use redump.org to check if the checksum matches to make sure its not badly copied or something

Windows doesn't seem to have an option to format to fat32.only NTFS and ExFat. I formated to Fat32 using HPusbdisk.That doesn't have an option to choose cluster size. That's why I asked what would be a good software to use. I checked the isos in dolphin And they all seem to work fine there.

Formated to 32k cluster.that seemed to be the issue. Everything seems to be working fine now.

if the HDD wasn't correctly partitioned or formatted, I think USBLoaderGX would refuse to launch the game and would provide you a reason.
The fact the loader launches the game without any warning means your device is good, the path to the iso is good, the filename is good, etc.

I think the problem was your game. Maybe it wasn't correctly written to your hdd? It's strange that it's working now if you only changed the cluster size.
Maybe the loader doesn't check if cluster size is neither 32 nor 64? I think I didn't add a check for smaller cluster size. I guess I'll fix that when I have time.

ho, also don't forget to safety disconnect the drive (using the icon next to the windows clock)
sometimes the game is not fully written after windows said it does.. and some people disconnect the drive right away..
