Hey folks I think I may have missed a step here. I copied over the r1272 version files, I used to be on r1271. However, when the system boots into USB Loader GX it loads up r1271. If I quit back to the Wii menu and load the channel, it loads the r1272 version correctly.

I have Priiloader installed.

Thanks mate. What I did was uninstalled the channel and the Priiloader installed file. Then i grabbed the latest forwarder channel wad, installed that, then installed the latest Forwarder in Priiloader. All sorted now.

    before they are dumped on the market

    nah you can find lots of working ones if you look carefully

    but it depends on the gen
