I have been looking for a quick and simple offline install for awhile....even attempting to create my own. I have my system up and running perfectly. v4.1U, all updated IOS's (and trucha) and everything runs perfectly. I have bootmii in boot2 and can do nand backup and restore, so I can test things like this and revert should there be a problem. So, I restored to the original NAND of the system (3.1U) and tried the offline guide from scratch.
Well, heres the issue. Everything installs fine, and when I get to the end I load up one game to test "WarioWare Smooth Moves" via my usb HD and USBLoaderCFG. The game loads fine and plays fine, but when I exit the game to go to the home menu, black screen. It does NOT do this on my good working 4.1U NAND. Also, other games freeze before load...such as Castlevania Judgement.
Why is this? What does my working NAND have that this tutorial is lacking that allows the games to work just fine from there but not work when using this offline tutorial on a vanilla/untouched Wii? I'd love to know..
Did you use the Offline guide to install 4.1U? I can use the Home menu fine. Sounds like a HBC issue assuming you are loading USBLoader from there.

So it is Bootmii, thats causing this problem then, as i never had the Wii do this before. How would Formatting the SD card help, are some SD cards not compatable with BootMii then?
from the Bootmii FAQ
Code:
I installed BootMii/boot2, but it doesn't come up when I boot my Wii.
Try booting with no SD card inserted. If you see a brief set of flashes from the blue slot LED right after you hit the power button, try a different SD card. Make sure you have a directory named "bootmii" with the "armboot.bin" and "ppcboot.elf" files inside.
If you do not see those flashes, BootMii/boot2 is not installed.
Format the SD card or try another
