Does usb loader gx launch at all? Does it launch without a memory card? If it doesn't launch without a memory card, that means you have a channel forwarder. Do you remember which wad you installed? You have any other channels?

-Erik

Usb loader GX starts without SD card but the wii menu is shown again. If i put the SD card in the slot i get black screen and erros-wii freezes.
I have installed USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder.wad (i think).
I have Opera internet channel and it works.

ok, if that is the channel you have installed.

Delete everything on your sd card.
Download and extract 43mod to your sd card.
Rename the boot.elf file in the root directory to boot.dol.
Cut and paste it into apps/usbloader_gx (you will need to make this directory).
Put the sd card in the wii, and launch the channel.
The hackmii installer should be running, follow the prompts to install the hbc.
Continue to the "Installing a Trucha'd IOS into slot 236." section, and finish the guide.

Sir Erik:

Found your advice in another forum where you wrote as follows:

"The problem has to do with priiloader and the latest hbc not playing well together (more so priiloader not playing well with ios58)... For anyone else that has this issue, use MMM, load IOS36 (patched), then go to app manager and launch priiloader there... You will have no issues

-Erik"

Following these instructions, I was able to install Priiloader.

Thanks.....

you are correct, DARKCORP is not needed if you have a modchip.
just keep all of your IOS's up to date, and you should be good!

your sdhc card is most likely the issue.
try finding a non sdhc card for the modding process.

What game are you trying to play? Depending on the game, it could be needed an ios that you don't have installed.

sdhc cards do not work, you must get a 2gb or less one.

Sorry for not just telling you, but you have no idea how many times I have typed that out because people do not actually read the guide and assume they launch priiloader from the hbc
