Hacking I need to re-hack my Wii

Ok. The emulators should be able to run on a sd only setup as well. So I guess we can rule out the harddisk now.
Maybe you should start simple and reinstall and try them on the sd, eventually even with the harddisk disconnected.
That's how I would start.

I don't know how the situation is in your case, but my wd passport was initialising real slow on an usb 2.0 port, even when connected to my pc.

I guess it does it's negotiation first on 3.0 and switches to 2.0 when that fails. I don't know the details. I just know what I observed.
 
Weird indeed. The funny thing is that I have Snes9xGx installed on the SDHC, but maybe I accidentally left it installed on the HDD from a long time ago as well, so if it's on there, I'll delete it. Then I'll reinstall each emulator individually and should I make sure that "no_ios_reload" is deleted from the .xml files? I even went in and changed the device to "Load device - SD Save Device - SD" and gave me an error that the USB device was not detected, even when it was clearly plugged in. I used to have it plugged in all the time, even when I was only using just the SD card. WTFBBQ? Besides, I don't feel comfortable pugging/unplugging the HDD over and over again lest it speeds up the rate of otherwise normal wear and tear.
 
The idea of disconnecting the harddisk was just for testing. It's not mentioned as a permanent solution.
Hasn't the behavour of the no_ios_reload changed with the latest hbc?
 
I believe it has, not sure what they call the line in the XML file now. Maybe the crashing has something to do with that change. So you want me to try with the HDD unplugged and off of SDHC and eventually with both SDHC and HDD plugged in?
 
yes, without hdd first. If that works, plug in the hdd and see if it makes a difference.
You can check than if it's possible to load your roms off the hdd.
One step at a time...You might need to test both with and without that no_ios_reload
 
WTF? Snes9x tells me it can't find the USB device when I only have an SD card inserted? oO That's not normal, and I think the settings.xml might be corrupted (don't have any other backups of it). It refuses to load ROMs if I delete that file. Although I do have a backup of it, it's the one that won't make this error go away and I have no method of getting a clean one. Note: it's not the .xml in the apps/snes9xgx folder, but it is in the same directory where the roms, saves and cheats are located.

Well this is certainly bizarre; so I change the settings to have the Save and Load devices to SD, which is what it should be. I do that and the error goes away. BUT, I make a save state and then tells me it cant find the USB device. So I was like "whatever" and go to the ROM menu. THEN it tells me once more it can't find the USB device, which isn't even plugged in! I click on "SD, up one level" and gets stuck in a loop; I can't get back to the ROM directory. Why is this happening when the HDD isn't plugged in?!

Do as somebody already told you and delete that damn settings.xml file, it probably got corrupted or is not compatible with the current version. I would not rely on a random backup file either as it might be incompatible or fucked up as well.
The reason you cannot load files anymore when you delete settings.xml is because it reseted to default settings and you must have your files in the default directory (should be sd:/snes9x/roms I think)
The reason you got USB error messags is because your USB is disconnected but the emulator is apparently configured to load ROM and State files from USB. If you say you are sure you set both (Load is for ROM files, Save is for State & SRAM files) and still got an error message about USB, first thing I'd check is to see if those options didn't get switched back to USB
 
Either way, it's screwed up so I'll give it a shot. The funny thing is, the ROMs were in the right directory (SD:/snes9xgx/roms/rom.sfc) So I've no clue why it would get jacked up like that. Oddly enough it ran fine on the HDD, but it may have been a fluke because the next time I use it, it'll probably crash on me, giving me a false sense of security. Is there a surefire way to see whether or not it'll crash?
 
Oooookay this is indeed freaking me out. So, I completely reinstalled Snes9xGx on my SDHC card, right? Well, first I deleted all the associated files and folders, downloaded 4.2.9, installed in it in SD:/snes9xgx and apps/snes9xgx/boot.dol, etc as it should be. I load it up, change the device to SD for both saving and loading. Not only do I still get the f$#^&ng "save failed" error, but I am unable to navigate back to the SD card's ROM directory. Nope. Even after reinstalling it still puts me through hell. I even reformatted the stupid thing two days ago!
