Hacking Problem loading Wii games on USB Loader GX

[raptorwiihacking]

Hello, thank you in advance for reading this. I have been having trouble with this for quite some time.

I use an external HDD (1TB Seagate) for all of my Wii and GameCube games. The HDD is dual partitioned to hold both Wii and GameCube games. The Wii partition is in WBFS and the GameCube partition is in FAT32. GameCube games give me no loading errors at all as I have it set to load them through Nintendont. The problem I'm encountering ONLY happens with Wii games. 90% of the time, I get a temporary black screen after starting a Wii game and I am then either booted back to the Homebrew Channel or the Wii Menu (depending on whether I use the Homebrew app or load through the forwarder). This problem is very inconsistent because sometimes the Wii games load with no problem, other times I have to try 5 or 6 times, and occasionally they won't load at all. This loading problem happens with every game on my drive (over 100). One important thing I should note is that I use USB port 1 on the back of my Wii. I have a wireless Afterglow headset and the Bluetooth adapter is very big and covers up port 0 when in port 1 so I needed to install some different cIOS to allow me to load games through either port. Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated. Here is my SysCheck:

Your ios 249 isn't reporting very clearly what version u have installed. But your 250 is v10 beta 53 which has hard drive compatibility issues. Either install v10 beta 52 or v8 final (I suggest base 57 in slot 249 and base 56 in slot 250,or vice versa)

On top of all that, you know you can use 1 single fat32 partition for BOTH wii and GameCube USB loading? No need for a wbfs partition, in fact this is very old news, long before nintendont was ever released so its funny that in some ways you have newer mods and in other ways your mods are really outdated.

Can you possibly link me a tutorial or download for the cIOS I need? I dual partitioned my drive because I have nearly every game and it's easier to keep track of which system they belong to that way. Also, WBFS has always worked well for me in my history of Wii hacking.

Sure, use my program ModMii. Yiu can have it analyze your syscheck and build you a guide to follow to update everything that's out of sorts. Or u can just use its main wizard to hack your wii as if it's the first time your doing any mods to it and it will overwrite any old outdated. Kds that u currently have in place

Thing is, I need to use Hermes cIOS 222/223/224 so that I can use port 1.

I think usb loader gx has an option to select your port.

Can you use a USB extension to help u use port0

I figured it out. I knew that d2x-v10-beta53 had port1 support but it never worked for me. I had some success with Hermes cios but it was always spotty. Anyways, after playing around with my Wii and installing various cios combinations, I found one that works. The cios I had in slot 249 was flawed (idk how) so I reinstalled d2x-v10-beta53 with base 57 into that slot. Everything works perfect now. Thanks for your help!

Based on your syscheck it looks like you had an older cios249 still installed for some reason. So perhaps the d2x installer failed to install anything to 249 (or you know user error, lol, no offence happens to the best of us) and you were left with whatever older version was there to begin with. Either way, moot point, I'm happy that a reinstall of 249 fixed your issues. I still think you should still check out modmii, but regardless in your particular instance I think you should reformat your hdd as 100% fat32, forget using a wbfs partition and have to constantly guess and balance how much free space you need on either partition. If you want to test it out, launch up wii backup manager for windows (which you can download via ModMii) and load both your fat32 and wbfs partitions as two separate drives, then you will be able to convert\transfer games to wbfs FILES on your fat32 partition (i.e. usb:\wbfs\game\game.wbfs) - it even supports files larger than 4gb by auto-splitting them into parts that usb-loaders handle just fine. From there it's a hop skip and a jump to the decision of using a 100% fat32 partition on your dedicated wii hard drive, heck it even works with the ps3 as yet another bonus.
