Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

[mokkas]

So, I have a 4.3E Black wii and i was wondering if i can play legal backup games via cd(i have a hunch that i cant). If i cant, should i just get an external hard drive and copy the dump of the original disk to the HDD and then, via a USB loader load it?

P.S. The wii is already softmodded, but i have just the HBC and a few apps... No Cios or something like that(i know that i have to do a little preparation first)... I dont have chips or anything else, just a softmod

No only Wii's produced in the first two years could play burnt DVD's anything post 2008 can't; a quick google search will also reveal which DVD drive you can buy for a replacement if your determined to played burnt games.
An external HDD is ideal cause the cost is cheap for space depending on where you look: newegg, amazon just avoid Wal-Mart! way overpriced for ext.HDD. Personally I find Western Digitial ext.HDD work the best as far as compatibility for neek2o, sneek, homebrew, & games whether they are on a NTFS or FAT32 formated drive. Also you can load Wii games in wbfs format from SD with some of the popular loaders like CFG-Loader & WiiFlow; USBL GX does not support Wii games on SD anymore..... Yes I have inquired about this ;(

P.S. The wii is already softmodded, but i have just the HBC and a few apps... No Cios or something like that(i know that i have to do a little preparation first)... I dont have chips or anything else, just a softmod

Who softmodded your Wii? Most of the time when it's done IOS36 is usually patched it's like a forced habit or IOS236 is installed. When I soft-mod a WIi I install HBC.... well then yeah go grab WiiMod and ModMii for your PC & then use ModMii to build you d2x b8final (b9 has horrible loading times for me with USBL GX) & install via WiiMod.

P.S.
You can find most of these apps in my sig if not ModMii has them for download

Hello.

I softmodded another Wii today and founda weird issue: the forwarder channel that comes installed if you follow the ModMii wizard has a weird flickering loading screen.

The system menu works fine, CFG Loader itself works fine and I created 2 backups to test and they work fine also. It's just the splash screen of the forwarder channel that acts weird. It's like it's running in the wrong display mode or something. Is it possible to configure it somehow?

No uninstall it. What region is your Wii

 

[Spongeroberto]

No uninstall it. What region is your Wii

EU, with 4.3 firmware.

Alright. I uninstalled it and installed an official one for CFG Loader. That one has no issues at all (simply because it doesn't have a splash screen heh). I don't think I'll ever use another USB loader anyway.

Thanks!

If you have a black Wii it's definitely new enough that you can't read DVD-R disks from the Wii's internal disk reader.
If you REALLY want to you could get an external USB DVD drive and load them through uLoader but although compatibility's not bad it's not perfect and USB hard drive loading is nearly 100% comparability now.

I softmodded my own wii, via letterbomb(at that time, I didnt know anything about modmii, or stuff like that...)
One more question: I have read that some backup loaders have a little less speed than normal. Why does that happen, and does it happen with ext. HDD?

 

[mokkas]

One more question: will this Ext. HDD work? http://www.eastcoastcomputerservices.net/toshiba-stor-e-alu-2-2-5-320gb-usb-2-0-portable-hard-drive-silver/
Finally, in which format should i format it (FAT, for example)?

How did you mod your wii ? try modmii and also ensure your wii is capable of playing backups. ie old enough.

 

[noelmejia19]

Any way to get CFG loader to play gamecube games?

 

[capojared]

So I've been recently trying to get Gamecube backups loading through my harddrive. I've run into a few problems and was looking for some help. I have dios mios 2.0 installed and multiple backups loaders installed that support loading gamcube backups. Can I have my backups in gcm file? And if I can where do I put them on my harddrive. I've tried usb:/games, to no avail. I 'm really lost on this any help is appreciated thanks.

GCM format is the same as ISO format.
If you rename your file Mario.gcm to be game.iso and put it in a folder inside the /games/ folder (something like usb:/games/mario/game.iso) it should work.
Also, if you haven't tried it yet, there's a guide http://gbatemp.net/topic/318585-how-to-createuse-dios-mios-lite

is they a list some where of all the backup loaders available for the wii?

The main ones I can think of are:

WiiFlow
USB Loader GX
Configurable USB Loader
NeoGamma
PostLoader
xNEEK+DI (sort of a backup loader)

There are a number of other ones that are no longer updated
a lot of them are listed in these outdated polls.
