I have tried 330, 276, 247, 229... and I don't know about the drive but I tried several different hard drives older and newer, 2.0 and 3.0... and a couple flash sticks. It crashes before even starting the process.

Wait, I just thought of something!! Do you have a Wii U formatted drive connected as well??

I tried both ports, putting it in the upper port I get the ISI exception (which I just realized was the image I uploaded in my first post...)

yea I really cant tell whats up exactly, I'm fairly sure though its something about the wii itself rather than with your devices. The crashlog you showed there says nothing else I can read out.

here's a new photo, the other one was as stated above with the drive hooked up to the other port. This one is what I get with it plugged in to the bottom port (the proper one):

usbloadergx might not work with a diferent port so try both ports using nintendont directly.Also make sure only one drive is connected at a time.

I download the (WiiFlow_v4.2.3_Nintendont_MasterMod_Pack_Full), and before that (I can't remember when) I had the gamecube bios intro run, once I selected a game from WiiFlow. Now, with the pack that I have installed, the bios no longer run when I select a game. I loved how the bios came on, and now they no longer do. It's been quite awhile since I've been in the Nintendont scene, is the file named incorrectly? does it need to be in a specific folder/location? Id appreciate any help on this. Thanks! :-)

bios only shows up with mcemu on if you use a real mc card then you wont see the bios, same for using mcemu off and no card.

and you only have one drive connected? and this happens with ever usb device?
Exactly. One drive connected at a time, and no matter what drive or thumbstick I use - I get the Nintendont background, it says the version number/firmware with "home for exit, A to select" and then 2 seconds later BAM that screen.

FWIW Wii games load flawlessly no matter what drive I use (even a USB 3.0 4k sector drive), and as long as the drive I use has 512 byte sectors, DIOS MIOS runs the Gamecube games too.

do you have your wii connected to the web?maybe your connection keeps going and coming and desrupting nintendont try disabling the web if you have it on.

Thanks anyway pedro702 for attempting to help. :yay: It ruled out a bunch of things anyway.

Since I just realized I was mistaken in thinking I was on System Menu 4.3U, and am actually on 4.1U, I was tossing the idea around about updating to 4.3U and re-softmodding with the SmashStack to see if it would help, but frankly I don't see what that would do if it's a hardware issue... and I'm not sure that's a safe thing to do anyway. I may just have to buy a second refurb Wii and try again, or buy a Wii U and softmod the vWii to get this operating...

just checked that, disabled it, and tried again, same error... this is bizarre...
From where you say it's crashing it sounds like it may not be getting NAND access. Check the meta.xml in the Nintendont directory and make sure it has the <ahb_access/> in it.

AFAIK Nintendont doesn't use any custom IOS. Just 58.

It's in there, and I know 58 is working because there's other stuff using it with no trouble...
