GC games on USB loader GX

[away8777]

Hello everyone! I'm new to HB on Wii and I have managed to get my Wii games playing on USB loader GX on a 500g WD HDD fat 32 but for the life of me can't get GC games to show up. They play fine on Nintendont but USB loader will not let me choose USB games folder as a path it comes up saying it has to be the SD folder.... Is there a work around for this yet?

Did you go to Custom Paths and set the main gamecube path there? It sounds like you tried change the "Gamecube source" under Loader Settings instead, but that's not it.

In the top banner in USBLoaderGX, in one of the icons select Wii and GC in order for both of them to show.
As for GC path settings, don't think it can block you from selecting your drive, you don't have to use SD for GC games.

I change the main game path to my HDD and tried to change the SD path to my HDD but it says it has to be on SD not USB

I have both game cube and Wii games selected in the check boxes and main game path set to USB but when I select USB on SD path it says ok then gives me a notification that it can be set to SD only.

Well yeah, the SD gamecube path has to be on SD. You don't need to change that one. If you mean that you have the Nintendont app itself also on USB then you need to change the "nintendont loader path"

Ofc it won't. Now im not if it's like with Wii games and SD Mode, as with that you have to choose between SD mode or usb, you can't have both. See if you can switch to usb for GC games.

I have it set to USB mode and where would I switch to USB for GC?

It's got to be there somewhere, just look for it.

I have it downloaded on both the USB and SD

you should use gamecube backup manager to put your games on your hdd if they are not showing up then they might not be named correctly you need to name your iso to game.iso if you have file extensions hidden on your pc then it might be named game.iso.iso so just rename your iso to just game

First of all it's not me with the issue, not sure why you quoted me, maybe just to add to or correct what i said.. Anyhow, they said that their GC games work in Nintendont but not usbloadergx, so it can't possibly be wrong iso file/folder naming.

Yes, i recommend using that too (instead of doing it manually).

Thank you for the heads up. I have checked that the files are named correct and like CoolMe said they show up and work on Nintendont.

Also had the Nintendont loader path set to USB/apps/Nintendont with no change
