Hacking Tutorial to using USB Loader v1.1 and FAQs

[rockstar99]

i get an error can not retrive game list
using 8gb micro sd card

 

[takuya]

for information, cios36 rev9 is not compatible with usb mic (animal crossing one)
i have unistall the rev9 (with uninstaller 1.1) and reinstall the rev 7 and mic is ok (under wifi chat on animal crossing)

Opps I suppose i made a noob error of updating to nintendos 4.0 update rather than 4.0E??

If so going to swap with mother in laws wii!!

My loader works (with isos), though it doesn't like to dump games (from Wii), cause it stucks @ 0.00%, and turning off gives a code dump. Any suggestions to bypass?

My Wii has CIOS249, CIOS222, Usb loader 1.1, and both CIOS I've reinstalled, once more.

Bump.

@grakje: did you read the first page?

Why do you want 4.0E? Or do you have a PAL wii?
Anyway, if you didn't install a cIOS before updating, theres nothing you can do atm

Of course I did

I reinstalled the cIOS, and don't have any mod chips, and still's not working.
So the start post didn't help me further

, though I read it.

i am pretty sure the cios install all went ok.(how do i check this?) I then thought (to get over the game freezing issue)i would have to update to the current nintendo firmware and did.(i am in the uk and i now have 4.0E on the wii)

is this a problem or do i need a custom firmware to make this usb loader to work or is 4.0E ok?

sorry for the misleading post before.

You can take AnyTitleDeleterMOD to check if you can see CIOS249.

Hi all.I'm getting the error Could not initialize USB subsystem(ret=-6) Press any button to restart.


I am a a total loss as to how to fix this.
Ive also tried the usb loader channel with no success.

Can anyone help me PLEASE as I went out and bought a 320GB Bufalo hard drive just for this purpose

Im not that computer litereate and all these cioses etc have my head spinning so if there is a basic method that would be great.
By the way I have gamma installed and thats working ok.

Can ANYONE please help me with this?Should I just get a new SD card and reinstall everything from scratch?
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

 

[tj_cool]

I guess the drive isn't supported yet, sorry

Does the USB loader block any updates from the game discs? I have a Japanese Wii, and don't want to brick it by a US or PAL game. I currently use GeckoOS (with legal discs), which blocks the updates fine.

Since I can play Mario Power Tennis ntsc on my pal Wii, I think it does

Thanks for the info. Can anyone else confirm that the USB loader automatically blocks any updates on games to prevent bricking?

Q: I know what a partition is, is there any way for me to repartition my drive without loosing current data?

gparted works
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/

Man, I wish you posted this before I lost all of my work on my HDD D: thanks, though.

QUOTEThanks for the info. Can anyone else confirm that the USB loader automatically blocks any updates on games to prevent bricking?

I was able to run MadWorld (PAL) which I couldn't do in the backup launcher because of the patch that comes with it, so I believe so.

Question: do you have to update to version 4.0 to allow the usb loader to dump from discs using your wii dvd drive? Because this doesn't work for me in version 3.2E, though it will load games from my usb hdd just fine.

Interesting theory, since my Wii neither dumps games.. Someone can confirm this?

 

[tj_cool]

I'm on 3.2E and it dumps fine

Everytime I launcher the USB Loader 1.1, I get the following error and have not been able to find the meaning of this error yet.

USB loader [+] ERROR: Could not initialize USB subsystem! (ret = -6)

Any ideas what I am missing?

I'm having trouble getting the thing to work at all. Installed cIOS, everything works fine with regular backup launcher. However, when I try the USB loader, it gives me nothing. Just the loader, and a black box with no text. I've tried plugging in the devices during the loading, and even before powering on the Wii. I know that one of my USB pendrives is on the compatible list, so it should work, but as I've said, just a black box.

Anybody know what's wrong?

Edit: The only thing I have on my Wii is HBC and cIOS249rev9 on 3.4E
