Okay, When I load CFG USB Loader into the GUI and either don't do anything at all, or just simply browse through the games, it will restart automatically and usually within 60 seconds. It does not do this if I am checking for updates, downloading Wii covers, changing game and global options. etc. But If am just looking through the games or not touching the remote at all, it restarts every time. By restarts I mean that it's like I pressed the reset button and it reloads the Wii System Menu.

I have a Western digital Caviar Blue 640 GB. It has been formatted FAT32 and loaded with games via Wii Backup Manager in .wbfs file format. My Wii is 4.2U.

It worked great for a year before I changed the format to FAT32, using CFG USB Loader w/249 and always the latest release.
After formatting, etc, I switched it to CFG USB Loader 222-mload (r62)

I have it set up to where there should be no need for an SD Card, but rather the files are stored on the hard drive's root drive. (and before you ask, yes, this still happens with an SD Card (with all the right files) in the WII).

I have been trying to figure this out for a week, and its bugging me bad. I'd appreciate any help. It's Christmas, and I have no games for the kids to play now. To ensure you have the best information to help me figure this out I've included a few screen captures showing the wads I have installed on the Wii. Also, I am not sure if this makes a difference, but for some reason, Preloader doesn't want to come on ( I did install it, but when I hod down reset on the Wii when I press the power button to turn it on, preloader doesn't show up, though it used to)

Here is the contents of my config file (located in Root Drive:\usb-loader\)

theme = stripes
device = usb
gui = start
gui_transition = fade
gui_style = flow
gui_rows = 2
clock_style = 12am
confirm_start = 0

wbackground = background.png
background_base = background.png

wbackground_gui = background.png
layout = large3
color_header = 14
color_footer = 8
color_selected_fg = 0
color_selected_bg = 7

gui_text_shadow = black
gui_text2_shadow = black
hide_header = 1
hide_footer = 1
cover_style = 3d
gui_text_color = white

I have installed the following WADS to my Wii as well, in addition to installing bootmii2, bootmii as an IOS, and the homebrew Channel and WiiMC both running under IOS58:






I have family coming over for the holidays with loads of children, and now this doesn't work. Please, please, please, someone help me figure out what I did wrong here.

I did all the exact same stuff to another Wii (this one using a Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1.5 TB) and it works PERFECTLY.

Does anyone have any clues at all? Please help.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    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 :)
