Hi! You could try a different loader (CFG Loader is easy enough to use) and/or a differnt drive.

You could also try the games from the hdd into dolphin (wii emulator on pv), to see if they at least boot there

Hello all. I do appreciate all of your assistance. I am going to try and load different games. So far i have tried wii sports resort and mario super sluggers. I dont believe mario super sluggers requires wii motion plus. So im thinking the problem is with all games.

So sad....I am very,very sorry to hear it is still not working....:sad:

Maybe you should really try an Alternative Loader,would you be so kind and try @blackb0x USBLoader GX MOD please ?

If that also not wokring,then please try the WiiFlow Lite Mod from @fledge68 please:

Thank you. I apologize for all the trouble. I will try those loaders as well as an additional game source. Thank you all again.

First you can try it with the WiiBackup Managers Option - Format Drive
I am not sure,if it also deletes the Partitions.

There are many Tools around,for myself I have used "AOMEI Partition Assistant" since two Years,
but as I said,there are more Tools around.:)

You can set the Allocation Unit Size to "Auto" it is not really relevant for a 500 GB HDD.

Good Luck.
Thank you.:)
Hello Alexander. Hope you are well. I got my hands on another wii console. Would you be able to recommend a guide to me on how to add homebrew and such to play wii games from rom. I wanted to try a different one to see if it would work? Thanks so much!

Nice to hear from you.:)

I am very,very sorry.I do not really know a Guide for this,very very sorry.:(

For the Part until the "Wii Games" you can use this one please:
https://wii.guide/

For adding Homebrew there is no such general Guide/Manual.:(
Most of the Applications are simply working by copying a Folder into SD Card:\apps.
Like SD:\apps\Wiimod for example.The Application/Homebrew Folder usually contains the Application .dol File.
In Addition there is an .png File for the Banner on the Homebrew Channel and an .xml File for the Description.

Most Emulators automatically creates additional Folders (on the first Startup) on the Root of the SD Card for the Roms/Covers/Cheats and so on.

If you need help and/or a Manual,many Apps/Homebrews/Emulators have a github Page with this Support.
And Google is always very helpful too.

I hope this helps you a little.

Good Luck
Thank you.:)

Some download places use Nkit ISO's.
Try downloading each game as a .wbfs file, or use a Management tool to turn them into an .wbfs from an ISO

Use Nkit to reverse an .nkit.iso to .iso, then use something like ISO2WBFS to turn them into a WBFS. Make sure these files have the name crosschecked with an ID from gametdb.

Here's an example of what your file tree should look like if you downloaded Wii Sports:

E:\wbfs\WiiSports\RSPE01.wbfs

NOT

E:\wbfs\Wii\Wiisports.wbfs

Why WBFS?
WBFS is easier for a Wii to load in my past experience. ISO's are too confusing, mostly because of Nkit scrubbing. WBFS should be standard for all Wii's. Also, WBFS files are smaller than an ISO.

Hi I know this is out of context, but i really need help with the issue that i have.

I'm having some problems with loading Wii games on USB loader GX.

THE STORY:

I got into Homebrewing when I first heard about Project+ in early summer last year(2020) and started everything from YouTube tutorials, so please go easy one me if I have done something Wrong or Old.

Eventually down the track, I learnt about Nintendon't and USB Loader GX and having more than one game on the console via a USB. But I still wanted to have Project+ at the same time.

According to the "DEFINITIVE Project Plus Install Guide (EVERY METHOD!)", (in the google doc details) ,it says to install the iOS revision: d2x V10 beta 52, but on the video, it says to inatsall d2x V8 final.

I tried both revisions and I still didnt get any results. from then on, I gave up on trying to get Project+ on my console and decided to get more games on my console other than just one.

I then studied more details about Homebrewing, and decided to do a System-Check on my Wii console and refined some things on my console, while refferencing some things off from CYAN's Wii hacking guide.

(I will show you everything technical in the "THE TECHNICAL DETAILS" part, further down.)

Ever since I did that, everything (Except for USB Loader GX, since I did start everything off from YouTube tutorials. I am not shafting CYAN, its MY FAULT, not his) has been working swell, Nintendon't is great, my menuify is great too, but with USB Loader GX, every single game DOES appear, but when I try to load any of the games it just gives me a Black Screen with NO sound. I also went on to the USB Loader GX settings and specifically changed the game's iOS slot and slots to: 249 and 250 singularly for each try, but had the same outcome every time, the dreaded Black Screen!!.

END OF STORY, let's get to the technicals.


THE TECHNICAL DETAILS:

Wii Console (4.3E Australian, Homebrewed)

SanDisk Extreme Micro SDXC Card (128GB, V30, U3, A2, with SD adapter, Formatted to FAT32 And 32KB allocation with successful verification for the formatting to actually work from myself.)

SanDisk UltraFit USB3.1 (64GB, Formatted to FAT32 And 32KB allocation with successful verification for the formatting to actually work from myself, hence, Nintendont actually working with all of the installed games.

BootMii (on IOS And Boot2)

Priiloader

d2x cIOS installer (more details in the syscheck)

MyMenuify (white theme)

Nintendon't (All the game's work)

All the other apps work.

USB Loader GX (All games appear but don't load,hence, the problem that i WANT to fix please)

Overall, I have some questions:

#1: Is there something, that is out of my knowledge that I am NOT doing, that CAN and WILL be able to Fix this problem for me?

#2: Is it possible to have Nintendon't, USB Loader GX and Project+ on the same console, without having to constantly change cIOSs? and if it is, how can I do it?

#3: (If all is lost) Do/Will I need a new Wii Console?

#4 Is there something wrong with my IOSs or ciOSs?

#5: Can anyone Help me with this please?

IF THERE ARE ANY IMPORTANT DETAILS THAT I AM MISSING OR NEED FROM THE INFORMATION ABOVE THAT WILL HELP ME FIX THIS, PLEASE NOTIFY ME ASAP. thanks

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
