Okay, so, I have my vWii running homebrew
I followed this guide and I did the steps perfectly on what he told me to do. But I just can't get the games to show on the homebrew app. I have my 16gig USB drive formatted with WBFS (or WMFS I forgot what it is called but I'm sure you guys know what I mean) manager and it is the only software on my computer that tells me what ISO's are on the flash drive. But USB GX Loader is not showing Super Mario Galaxy 1 or 2.
I have installed CIOS and if I do it again it will just say it will overwrite the existing files or something.
Thanks in advance.

You should be using Wii Backup Manager instead, WBFS Manager isn't needed anymore. Also formatting your USB drive to WBFS format isn't necessary anymore. You should format it to FAT32. Have Wii Backup Manager convert games to wbfs format and simply put them on your USB drive. Should look like
USB:/wbfs/NameofGame [GameID]/[GameID].wbfs

Video guides are easily outdated, never use them!

Okay so I did that. I got Super Mario Galaxy 2 in USB/wbfs/Nameofgame [4 digit thing] and what app am I supposed to use to launch it? It's not showing in USB Loader gx and Wiiflow just goes to a black screen with numbers and text saying code dump or something
EDIT: This is the error screen I get when launching WiiFlow 4.2.1
I even re-download it and replaced it too.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
