Hacking USB LOADER 1.0 by waninkoko

[Deleted User]

I can´t network install cios v9, is it ok to ask for the WAD?

No since it's copyrighted material. Please google this 'IOS36-64-v1042'.

 

[kyle007]

so any idea as to why Could not initialize USB Subsystem (ret -1) always pops up? i did install rev9 is making a partition neccessary? i dont care about any of the files on here lol so i was just gonna let it format the whole thing

 

[WhiteX]

I have this file, i diwnloaded it for rev 8 and never installer, are they tha same?

 

[telefunkin]

same error as alot of people Could not initialize USB Subsystem (ret -1) im 99% sure my drive supports USB2.0 lol anybody know for sure what causes this issue?

i got that too on my seagate freeagent 500gb

must be the drive i'm using. found a 1gig usb drive and loader picked it up and wanted to format it. powered down the wii and switched back to the HDD and got the error again. tried it on both an unpartitioned drive and one in FAT32(same as the usb drive).

 

[kyle007]

well i hope we get some concrete info on why this happens before i go out buying another external lol

For all noobs:
To install the usb loader and get it running this is what I did.
1. make sure all the necessary .dol files are renamed to boot.dol
2. put each app in a seperate folder and name the folder whatever the app is for, ex. usb2.0, etc. and transfer to sd card
3. load HBC(homebrew channel)
4. find and load usb2.0 beta 3 and install
5.find and load wanin's rev9
6.hook up your usb device and run WBFS tool and select partition to format
7. find and load usbloader 1.0
8. when loaded push + on wiimote to install game
9. insert game
10. wait for the game to dump to usb device
11. when game is finished dumping press any button on the remote and then press a to load game.
viola ssimple as can be
BTW make sure your device is 2.0 compatible

Hope this helps

6.hook up your usb device and run WBFS tool and select partition to format

Wait - WBFS is a Linux tool - I was under the impression the loader itself did this on the Wii.

I would really like someone to test hotd overkill and tell us about the "normal" lag issue.

Just tested Overkill. It doesn't lag as it does using Backup Launcher Gamma, loads very fast and runs smooth. But there seems to be some kind of "timing issues", causing zombies to "dance around" and some times even to fly out of the screen, making it impossible to play.
...

Played some stages now and I have to admit the "dancing mutants" are definitely there but it wasn't impossible to play. Every mutant was perfectly shootable for me.

BTW: Darkzero51521 has made a tutorial on how to use this:

@Cmurda187:
You don't need cIOS USB2 and you don't necessarily need to hook up your hdd to a pc running linux to format it. So the steps 4 and 6 of your guide can be skipped.

If you're on Vista, go into Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management, then find your HDD. Right-click on it and choose to shrink the partition by however much you want to. Then you right-click on the unallocated space and format that.

Or maybe the formatting isn't necessary since the loader will have to format it anyway. I'll have to see when I get the chance to try out my HDD in this thing.

I did that but the option to shrink was grayed out. I cant get Partition Magic to HD to run on my XP computer and Partition Magic doesnt work for me on Vista so I could use some help getting a way to use my HDD. Also Wadder isnt working for me. keeps giving me an error, so if anyone has a WAD for the USB Loader that would be awesome.

Okay it sounds like you might be having the same problem I was a few months ago. I could not get the Vista partition software to work right, it kept telling me I had 0 space to shrink even though it was clearly not true. Nothing I did could fix it and it was driving me absolutely nuts, so what I downloaded was Easeus Partition Manager and it worked great.

But anyway, so happy this came out so quickly

. Ripping Rune Factory now.. hopefully load times are reduced!

EDIT: Yey! Took about 20 minutes to rip, just started it up and it seems load times are reduced ALOT, like by half (compared to backup loader).
Thanks so much dudesss. Very easy to use and useful app

6.hook up your usb device and run WBFS tool and select partition to format

Wait - WBFS is a Linux tool - I was under the impression the loader itself did this on the Wii.

I made 2 different folders out of the dl of the usb loader one with the formatting tool and one with the loader

 

[Necromancyr]

Ok, that tool wasn't in the usbloader archive I have...interesting.

this is incorrect...

first off you do not need to install cios_usb2 beta 3, not at all, nil, zero, zip, nothing.... this is now included in cios rev 9

secondly you do not need to run wbfs_tool... sorry again, not at all, nil, zero, zip nothing....the loader will format your usb partition for you..


im guessing you have yet to actually do this yourself as 2 out of the 11 steps you listed are incorrect. and if you did do this yourself, well.... i dont know what to say ...

 

[Cmurda187]

just search around I'm sure you will be able to find it around here somewhere

dude, you dont need the wbfs tool, at all...please edit your guide post as it will only confuse people...

Worked ok for me everything had been dumping and loading well

 

[Cooler89]

There is a WBFS format tool for windows?

It's not that it won't work. Steps 4 and 6 are just unnecessary.

 

[Fleeman]

nevermind sorry

 

[GolfDude]

do we need to brick block these dumps or does the loader protect us from the updates that would have been on the DVD?

 

[Dermy]

I don't think it rips the update partition from the disc at all. It looks like it is the game data only. Scrubbed too. You don't need to brick block it.
