Hacking Some games get me a black screen

[divinehera]

Hi, as the title says, when i try to load only the following games on USB Loader GX (latest version), I either get a black screen or get sent back to the homebrew channel:

• Cars 2: The Video Game [SCYP4Q] - homebrew channel
• Just Dance [SDNP41] - black screen
• Just Dance 4 Special Edition [SJXD41] - black screen
• Inazuma Eleven Strikers [STQX01] - homebrew channel
• Inazuma Eleven Go! Strikers 2013 [S5SJHF] - black screen
• Spongebob's Truth Or Square [R8IE78] - black screen

Here's what I did that didn't work:

• Updated the cIOS using the "wii.guide" guide;
• Tried to change the IOS used for each game (249, 250, 251, even 224);
• Tried to change the video mode for each game (force ntsc);
• Tried to change the games language;

Here's the syscheck (i'm sorry that it's in italian):

Well, I already followed the guide, but:

• USB Loader GX "Games IOS" is already set to Auto;
• I checked the "cIOS base compatibility list", for it Just Dance works with base 57, hence slot 250, but for me it doesn't;
• Game integrity is not a problem, for example I used to play both Inazumas on Dolphin and I just converted them into wbfs to play them on Wii;
• Most games in my list are PAL so it's not an out-of-region problem (i checked with Wii Backup Manager)
• I didn't enable the dol patch, nor any debug option, and the MIOS installed is the original (v10)

I don't think either it's a USB Loader GX problem, given that the other 10 games that i have work properly.

Firstly, be patient & wait for several minutes, or reboot & wait again. Some games can take 5min plus. Yeah, a pain in the ass, but give it a go. Don't press any buttons on Wiimote. Just leave it & make a pleasant drink or empty yourself from one whilst you're waiting for the loading.

If they still fail, try USB Config loader. That usually did/does the job when GX failed. I have the older vers of GX & yet to get around on using the newest GX.
Game save between USB loaders vary & usually aren't compatible with each other.
Most times, if you need to boot with USB Config, then most likely USBL GX will/can fire up on your future tries.

Game integrity is not a problem, for example I used to play both Inazumas on Dolphin and I just converted them into wbfs to play them on Wii;

Black screen on games is mostly a data integrity problem of the game image itself. It may run on Dolphin, but still gives a black screen on USB Loader GX.

So follow the recommended option by verifying the game image sha-1 hash value. And use Wii Backupmanager to copy the game to the drive.

As @morning_glory already mentioned and your using a thumb drive. If the game stays on ablack screen wait several minutes. If the game starts it indicates the has issues or is very slow.

I will not exclude there is a issue on the drive. Best run a check with chkdsk or verify your drive setup.
