You will need an SD card and working slot to get the Homebrew Channel installed in the first place. They sell Wiis at pawn shops around here for around $30-35 so you might be able to pick up another one.
As for storage, USB flash drives are hit-or-miss when it comes to working with launchers. Some of them just don't implement the entire USB storage protocol.

If you have HBC installed you should be most of the way there. Try posting a syscheck report (in spoiler tags) and we can see what you need. https://gbatemp.net/threads/posting-a-system-check.300279/
it says i cant use a usb only a sd card my sd card slot does not work all i want to know is there a way i can uninstall hbc and wiiflow and reinstall them and see if it will work then. when i boot up wiiflow in hbc i go to the game that i put on my usb and i press start and it goes back to the wii home screen it does this to all my games that i put on my usb do you know what this could be this is the reason i want to restart the hbc and wiiflow so i can try it one more time just to see if i did something wrong well i was installing hbc and wiiflow thank you for helping me:lol:

WiiFlow has it's cIOS set up kinda weird. You might try running an app called "WiiFlow Start Configurator". It will let you choose the force cIOS option and which one you want to use. You should be able to get it to run then.

If your HBC isn't displaying upside down and it says it's using IOS58 you shouldn't need to reinstall it. That would require a working SD slot.

Did you try the start configurator app? My only other suggestion would be to try a different USB loader to see if it's your hardware or just WiiFlow. USB Loader GX doesn't require any extra configuration steps other than having HBC installed and a usable cIOS installed as IOS249.

ok i im just going to get a new wii could you recommend a tutorial for me to install hbc and wiiflow the right way

I would try Stephanie's tutorial here.

If you don't want to play Gamecube games you can skip the DIOS MIOS part. If you do want to play Gamecube games I would recommend trying Nintendont before you install DIOS MIOS. It's more compatible and doesn't require replacing the stock MIOS on the console. :)

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
