TL;DR warning
So, after using my Wii yesterday, I have reasonably concluded that my Wii needs to be re-hacked. I have noticed some rather odd behavior that I need to mention and hopefully by doing that, I can find out just what it is I need to do, so, I'll go ahead and list the reasons.
1 - Snes9xGx hates USB devices, period. A while back, I reported that my Western Digital My Passport HDD didn't like Snes9xGx and erroneously concluded that Snes9xgx was at fault. Then I eventually assumed my HDD was at fault, however, what I discovered last night surprised me. It doesn't like any USB drive I use, whether it be a USB hard drive or a USB flash drive, as both exhibited the exact same behaviors, and that is, random lockups and code dumps. It's not just my HDD but any USB-related thing plain and simply will not cooperated with Snes9xgx. This is not normal to say the least and this is one reason I believe my Wii needs to be re-hacked. Oddly enough, it runs perfectly stable from an SDHC card, as does WiiMC.
2 - SysCheck does not function from a 2GB SD card properly. I attempted to run SysCheck and find out every detail about the installed hacks, cIOSes, forwarders, etc I had installed so I could get as much info as I could. I hoped that by providing that information, I could get assistance on fixing Snes9xgx on a forum (in this case, Wiihacks) but it was to no avail. The SysCheck 1.6.0 does not complete the check, the progress bar gets about 90% through and then the disc slot LED starts flashing on and off every couple of seconds, and does not do anything even after waiting five minutes. I don't know how normal that is, or if that's supposed to be that way when getting the information. This is another reason I believe something is seriously jacked up.
3 - GenplusGX stops functioning altogether and locks up the system. I had installed a forwarder from these forums for GenplusGX that searches the .wad file on the HDD or SD card when it boots from the menu. For a long time, it worked perfectly and never ran into anything like a code dump or freezing. No, it ran as smooth as butter, until last night. When I loaded from either the forwarder and from HBC 1.1.0, it froze up with a black screen but without a DSI exception code, forcing me to hard reboot.
I'm not sure why these odd issues are occurring, much less how or when they truly began, but suffice to say, it's pissing me off and leads me to the conclusion that it must be re-hacked from scratch, which I believe ModMii can do fairly quickly. Any suggestions? Again, I cannot provide detailed information due to the inability to run SysCheck properly.
Wii System Menu: 3.4 U/NTSC
HBC Version: 1.1.0
Snes9xgx: 4.2.8 (or any version for that matter)
Misc Info: Neither Snes9xGx nor WiiMC have the "no_ios_reload" in the .xml files
GenplusGX: 1.6.0
BootMii: 1.4
Priiloader: 0.8
WiiMC: 1.1.X (no version works without crashing)
HDD Hierarchy: "X:\apps\snes9xgx\boot.dol" and "X:\snes9xgx\roms\game_name.sfc", (so by this logic, the folder structure should be correctly configured on the HDD)
Thank you for your time
