Hacking USB Loader GX and Flash Drive Help

[KhrisVecktor]

Hi, everyone! I'm new here and just a beginner in the wii hacking scene. I just started remodding my already modded Wii, version 4.1E (couldn't update it because of the 32004 error, so I had to continue on this one - if you have an answear for this, I'd apreciate it), and started through formating it - probably a bad move, since it didn't solve anything - and then did the letterbomb hack to install the homebrew channel. All nice till now. I prepared my SD card and put in the apps folder of it cIos 2dx and Usb Loader GX. Plugged it in the wii, setup the cIos 2dx: v10 beta52, base 56, slot 249, revision 65535 and then v10 beta52, base 57, slot 250, revision 65535. All good, I suppose (maybe?). Loaded Usb loader GX (v20) from Homebrew and the menu appeared, no usb inserted, just to see if it works - and yeah, it didn't seem to have any problems. Through Wii Backup Manager, I transfered 2 games, Pokemon Battle Revolution and Super Mario Galaxy 2(More), .wbsf format, to the my usb flash drive (btw it is FAT32). Then I plugged the usb in the right port (the one that is near the edge of the Wii, because that's the one that works, if it makes any relevance to the topic, and loaded usb loader gx. But when I tried to install a game, it just froze and had to manually restart my Wii. Tried this 3 times and well, nothing different, just the same freeze. I also tried Wiiflow Lite, but it seems like it serches for a wbsf folder on my SD card... I really don't know what to do and I'd really apreciate some help. Is it the USB flash Drive (32 GB, SanDisk Cruzer Edge), the Homebrew or the cIos setup (or maybe even something else? If it helps, the last mod on the wii had BootMii installed. Thanks a bunch in advance.

Use a real HDD and make sure you're using the latest revision of the loader (r1268.)

Usb flash drives are nothing but issues. Take grey wolfs advice and buy a hard drive. Either externally powered or with a Y cables so you can use two USB ports for power

Sorry for the late response.
The loader is the latest version (3.0, r1268).
I got my hads on HDD, (it has over 500gb of memory, however it is NTFS format), connected it in the right port (i suppose it was the right port because there was no countdown). I got no cuntdown at the flash drive either, but now it only asks about the disk install. I had inserted in the wii an original Link's Crossbow Training and it asked me to install. Then I inserted Pokemon Battle Revolution (as a wbfs transfered through Wii Backup Manager) and Super Mario Galaxy 2 (as a wbfs too) and it said that they were already installed. When there was no disk in the wii and pressed on the install button, it just kept telling me that there was no disk inserted. I'm confused. If it didn't detect my drive, then why wasn't there a countdown on the loading screen. Tried with WiiFlow Lite too - it said that there was no wbfs folder in sd. And yes, I have a wbfs folder on the drive, ass wii backup manager asks for one. I really don't know

Hello

You can test as loader ==> Configurable loader v70 ==> it is very nice.

Prefer USB support in fat 32 and with an external hard disk.
