But you'd be better off using the Wiimmfi patches through HBC

That's what i used when i tried it, and it works with discs (legit or burned) as is, without the need of burning a patched iso etc.

 

[Sypherone]

Ya, this error code is a Wiimmfi error -> https://wiimmfi.de/error?e=41155
The SAKE Server didnt answer.

Same here

Not sure if it requires having online functions set up or not, but if it is, you'd need to set up Wiimfii (if you haven't already), and the game (MK Wii) should be patched (disc or otherwise).

I have the Wiimfi patcher set up via priiloder and can play online

Your syscheck looks good.
What version of usbloadergx or Wiiflow lite are you using?
I'd recommend using this modded version for usbloadergx, or the latest Wiiflow Lite v.5.5.3.
Other than that, make sure the hdd is plugged into port 0, or use a y-cable if you have one.
You should verify the hash of the wbfs files in WiiBackupmanager to make they're not corrupt.

Can my wii brick if I install WAD's from trusted sites like this one?
I mean, if it works with other people, is there a chance to brick my wii?
I don't want to brick my wii, but I like the SNES channel.

Thank You!

Eddy Wallyfish

it shouldn't brick your wii but always have a nand backup and priiloader set up

Post automatically merged: Dec 21, 2022

Quickly. So what are the most upto date loaders I should be using to play firstly Wii and then secondly Gamecube isos? I've totally lost track.

Thanks alot!

i use wiiflow for gc and usbloadergx for wii. from what i know they are the best ones (both of them can play wii and gc i just use a flash drive for wii and the sd card for gc)

 

[XFlak]

Also use some yawmm mod to install WADs. Priiloader will protect u if u install a bad channel or theme, but not if u install a new system menu for the wrong region or without a corresponding system menu ios. Anyone could take a 3.2K System menu wad, and rename it to ReallyCoolChannel.wad and it could brick even consoles that have priiloader and nand backup (consoles with bootmii installed as boot2 would be fine). Some yawmm mod will actually check the contents of the wads and prevent u from installing another region system menu or a system menu without corresponding system menu IOS, or a stubbed system menu IOS, etc.

I have had my launch Wii (earliest version of RVL-001, bought November 2006) sitting on 4.1U ever since I first hacked it (with twilight hack I think, the first time anyway). The last time I updated it was to switch from using some older game launcher to using CFG USB Loader so that I could load GC games as well as Wii games. I have no idea when that was, and to be honest this was all a lifetime ago, I have no idea what I did then.

So my question is, do I have any reason to update my Wii to newer version, and do I have any reason to re-apply homebrew? All I really do is load GC/Wii games off of USB.

It is recommended to update your Wii to the latest System Menu version because most homebrew are designed for the later versions in mind, especially for cIOS.

I personally recommend following this guide to re-mod your Wii: https://wii.guide

You're not missing anything if you have the necessary cIOSs installed. Maybe post a syscheck and we'd see if you're missing any.
Btw, just drag and drop the generated syscheck file onto ModMii, and it'll tell your system needs & what to do..
You should use this version of usbloadergx. And/ or this version Wiiflow Lite.
Also the usb drive, it's recommended to use an external hdd formatted as Fat32, you could use a ntfs formatted one but you can't use it to play GC games (Nintendont).

Hello. Is there something you can create a Mii on PC, and import it on your Wii?
I don't have a sensor bar atm lol

You can't make do with 2 lit candles?
Do you have a Wii Classic Controller? You could move the cursor with the left thumb stick.

ok so Classic Controller doesn't even work in Mii Maker channel, I just borrowed a sensor bar real quick from a friend to make a Mii lol.

EDIT: I figured out some stuff. Simplifying post.

I recently got a family edition wii (RVL-101, blue in case that helps to date it) and I've finished running through the newest guide on wii.guide, but I'm having one small issue.

I'm working on testing the USB Loader functionality, and I've found that CFG USB Loader finds games, but only Wii games. Showing GC games in the USB Loader menu works fine on my original Wii; Is it an extra step needed for Family Edition models? I've verified Nintendont works, including creating virtual memory cards. I just am not sure what to do to enable GC games appearing in the CFG USB Loader window.

Make sure you're using the latest cfg version.
Actually, not sure if it supports GC or not..
Is there a specific reason why you're using the cfg version? If not, i suggest trying with this version usbloadergx, or Wiiflow Lite.

When I tried using USB Loader GX (the newest version from homebrew browser) it did not see my drive at all. I remember having similar problems with my first wii years ago, which is why I used CFG Loader from then on. I don't recall why it wouldn't work. As stated, CFG works fine on my old wii, just not on the new wii.

Another question, I want to copy Fortune Street save data from one wii to another wii, but savegame manager GX says that it is unable to copy data for some reason. I know some wii games don't let you copy save data easily, but I thought using priiloader to disable save copy protection would work. Is there another way to handle these kinds of games? Thank you.

Ok, i need to ask again, is your usb drive formatted as Fat32 32kb cluster size? Is it plugged into port 0?
Make sure the drive path is set to port 0 in USBLoaderGX/or Wiiflow.
As for GC games, try launching the Nintendont app instead, see if you're games appear there (assuming you have the naming & folder structure right for GC games).

Weird, SaveGame Manager GX should backup your save, are you sure it is saved on sysnand? And not on emunand maybe?
What does it tell you when you try to copy it?

 

[XFlak]

The priiloader hack impacts the official data management menu, allowing u to copy save data that is otherwise restricted. Perhaps try this since savegame manager gx is giving problems, or try a different versions of savegame manager gx, iirc there's some debate as to which is the best version, I think the latest one may have issues but don't recall

it's FAT32 but I don't know the cluster size offhand. I'll find out and report back when I can. GC works fine under Nintendont and Wii works fine under CFG. I tried both USB ports and neither one worked (for USB Loader GX).

I don't know if this affects anything, but my wii discs are stored as .wbfs files because that's what worked when I started using homebrew. CFG recognizes and launches them with no issue. USB Loader GX might work too, but since it never detects my USB drive I can't confirm. Just thought I'd mention that in case it was relevant.

SaveGame is odd. It has no problem with me copying it to an SD or USB. It even alerts me that in order to move my copied save onto a new Wii system memory, that I need to have a stand-in save file of the same game present on the target wii memory first, so it gives no indication that it should not work. Yet, when I have an empty new save on the new system and try to copy over top of it the desired save file (from SD or from USB) it tells me I can't copy it.

ok, so try the normal system menu data copying function and see if it lets me do it? I'll try and see what happens.
