@Cyan , or anyone, I'm not sure if the vwii is detecting dlc for either game. are you supposed to make a save first or can you install the game and the dlc together? must the game have been beaten? this is through emuNAND btw.

edit: btw, I'm using usb loader gx.

I think megaman 9/10 had some issues and wasn't working with simple emuNAND.
so, neek is the solution.
but I don't know about DLCs, there's no reason they don't work. You can install them anytime you want, with or without a savegame already existing.
the DLC goes into a different folder, and the game look into that folder to load found dlcs. if they are from the same region than the game, there shouldn't be any reason it's not detected or working.

you can try to install the DLC using ShowMiiNAND (update for vWii), maybe the loader is not properly extracting them?
without proper debugging, I can't tell.

how does usb loader gx know where to install the dlc? if you have three nand backups, which one would it choose? I can boot into neek with the game (no error), but I'm not sure if the dlc is installed correct. iirc, the game displayed "wad installed" or something like that when it was finished, but it shows nothing with the dlc.

@Cyan , could the problem be ustealth? I know that wiiware stuff doesn't work without a special fat library. when you select neek in game settings, is it going to use the emuNAND path that you have selected? if I don't set a path and just use neek, it goes to a black screen.

ahh, you use ustealth ?
did you install the Ustealth compatible d2x ?

that'll fix incompatibility of the emuNAND, but not specific game compatibility (like castlevania) which will still require neek.
I didn't know neek had been updated to support ustealth drives. maybe there's no partition table check at all.


Yes, it uses the emuNAND path set in usbgx for both emuNAND and neek.
you need a path ! how else do you want neek to know where is the emuNAND folder to use ?

If you use the real "neek" (not neek2o) then it's not working with subfolders at all, and you need the dumped nand folders to be located on root.
if you use neek2o, you need to specify a path. don't use a big path, don't use a too small either !
sd:/nands/01/ <--- Very good
sd:/nands/nand1/ <-- very good
sd:/nands/pl_us/ <-- very good (commonly used by "Post Loader" for USA NAND)
sd:/nand/ <-- too small
sd:/nands/my super hyper fun emu nand dump/ <-- too long

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I do but the optometrist I got my glasses at last year was expensive as fuck even WITH my insurance, so I'm gonna order on Zenni and see if my insurance will reimburse it. And if they won't, then, oh well, still will be cheaper anyway
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    $90 for the safety glasses on Zenni, vs my daily wear glasses were >$200 after insurance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Haven't been to the eye doc in like 3 years but was pretty surprised they cut the glass in office had the in like an hour ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's pretty sweet, I had to wait like a week or so for mine to be ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Lookin at buying another pair of regular glasses too. And maybe prescription sunglasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah most just ship off to a lab could always call around to see if new ones have in office glass cutters
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    too much effort + im shy and social anxiety :( lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I just wear them when I drive cause I'd like to actually read signs
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think they said I'm far sighted or some bs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My eyes aren't that bad, I need mine for driving but ever since I got my latest pair I wear them all the time when I'm home now, I never used to before
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm near sighted though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like docs just say you're this and that for the insurance claims half the time
    +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But even my computer monitors, that are like 3ft away when I'm leaning back in my chair, so much easier to see now with my glasses than without
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    lmao that clip
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Know a guy who did laser surgery for like 2g but argued you'd never need glasses again
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    laser eye surgery scares me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The thought of any kind of surgery shit being done on my eyes gives me unbelievable amounts of dread and anxiety, and with the potential risks or side effects that laser eye surgery has, I don't think my eyes are bad enough to warrant it. I can see without my glasses - not great, but not bad either.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I feel that if it gets to the point where all I see is blurry then I might consider if
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Just do it like in Minority Report. Won't feel a thing.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Is it the full van? If so t's suspiciously cheap.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Ah, the 2000€ is only the deposit
