Hi all, I have a big problem.

So I burned an ISO of Super Smash Bros. Melee to a 4.7 GB Verbatim DVD-R disc to play on my Wii (I'm not sure what model it is, but I got it in late 2008 and it is a white one.) It's only the one game, and there are not multiple games on it. It was burned with IMGBurn.

So I went to load it using NeoGamma Auto Launcher, and as soon as I did this, it flashed a green screen and reset my Wii. I tried to load it with some other applications that were previously installed on my Wii, like WiiGator and GameCube Backup Launcher. All the same result.

I look up solutions on how to do this and it says that I have to download MIOSPatcher, or a similar program.

So I go to take out my SD Card on my Wii, which is a 2GB Sandisk For Wii. I put it in my SD USB adapter and load it on my computer, and it says, "You must insert a disk in Drive D:", even though the SD card is already firmly inside my USB adapter. So basically I can not use an SD card to add MIOSPatcher.

But then I realized that I do have an external hard drive which I put my normal Wii games on, so I decided to try to use that (I use it to play Wii WADs on WiiFlow and USB Loader GX.)

So I take my external hard drive and I plug it into my Windows 7 Home Premium computer, it brings up a message saying, "You need to format the Removable Disk in order to use this Drive." Formatting means to lose all my files on the drive, and I don't want to do that because I will have to get all the ISO files back, which will take a lot of work.

So basically, I have no way of getting MIOSPatcher or any other software other than what I currently have at the moment.

Is there any possible way to play my disc without any other installations (keep in mind I use NeoGamma Auto Launcher) on an SD card?

And if there is not a way to avoid the resetting of my Wii, is there any way for me to fix my hard drive and SD card?

And if there still isn't a way to avoid that, how should I treat it?

PLEASE HELP ME!

Did you even read my question?
Yes, I did read your question. It was in response to your quote:

Maybe I am interpreting this wrong?

Edit: If you mean GameCube, you can run them off an SD card as well. Just trying to help ya. :)

Sorry, its not your fault, I worded it wrong. My question should be worded more like, "Because I can't install anything else on my SD card (not recognized on my computer), is there a way I can run my disc just by NeoGamma Auto Launcher without downloading any more applications?"

Oh and I don't have CFG USB Loader. I just have Wiiflow and USB Loader GX.

That is very odd that your computer cannot read your SD card. It is formatted as FAT32, correct? Either it's the computer or the card. As for can you stick with NeoGamma to run your GameCube ISOs with your current inability to utilize your SD card or HDD, that's a question outside of my knowledge since I have never used NeoGamma. Sorry.

I put the SD Card into my SD/USB adapter and it brought up this message: http://postimg.org/image/4gud2lbwh/
Ok, but do you recall if the card's file system is FAT32? Basically, for anyone else here reading your thread, they need to know whether the card's file system can be read by your computer. I'm not sure if NeoGamma, or the other programs you used above, screwed it up to another file system like WBFS.

You must insert a disk in Drive D:
Maybe trying changing the drive letter of the SD Card to something else; I quickly Googled this. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/330137.

It's probably WBFS. You should be able to use Wii Backup Manager check it and transfer to/from it. As far as I know NeoGamma should support launching games from optical discs. I've never actually used that loader, though.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
