Hi zxero, I've just used the lastest version of your guide to upgrade my previously softmodded wii from 4.0 to 4.2 and I can play .wads no problem but my usb ports don't seem to be recognized anymore.
When I use Neogamma and choose to load from usb I get the 'Mounting USB tries left' message.
Previously would use the USB port on the left and everything worked fone.
I've tried using Neogamma R7 and the new beta version, no luck with both of them.

Can you think of anything I haven't done or I've done wrong that would cause this to happen?

Thanks for the guide btw and double thanks if you can help me out here

added a cIOS.zip to the email reply bot.

it contains hermes v4 & v5 cIOS & waninkokos v17 & v19 cIOS.

Has all the possible bases installed in every slot so knock yourself out if you wanna change it up

Did you get this while restoring the trucha bug?

If so thats because the Homebrew Channel was not reinstalled to use IOS61 instead of IOS36.

questions about the new guide update. The update.zip now has cios 249 v19. I followed the previous guide with v17. Can I simply use the WAD Manager to install the new v19 WADs to update them? Or do I need to delete some of the old ones first.

Also is v19 ready with most of the USB Loaders? Last I checked Loader GX and Wiiflow just added Hermes V5 support but nothing "offical" with Wanin's v19.
