Hacking USB Loader GX: Black screen when loading Wii games

[Mike_Cruzer]

The *.dol patch is "dol video patch" setting, you set it to "region patch" so it will convert all "PAL" to "NTSC" because you specified "force NTSC (USA)" in the video mode.

try like that.
if it doesn't work, and other games are working on your usbkey, then you'll have to try using sneek. but it's complicated!

postloader on my SysNand wii its EmuNand?

I managed to launch Okami.
The setup from this site helped me: https://wii.scenebeta.com/node/16855
What is Vipatch in WiiFlow? Thanks to this option, the game started. Where can I read about this patch? Is there an analogue of this patch for USB Loader GX?

VIpatch should also exist in USBLoaderGX.
or it existed ?

it's a video mode patch, not sure what it does. I didn't check any loader's code for a long time.
seems it's doing this, in ASM, line 189-223 https://github.com/miigotu/wiiflow-plus/blob/master/source/loader/patchhook.S

it's checking the game's TitleID (at 0x80000003), and setting a values based on the detected region. I would guess, patching a region flag?

 

[Mike_Cruzer]

VIpatch также должен существовать в USBLoaderGX.
или он существовал?

это патч видеорежима, не уверен, что он делает. Давно не проверял ни один код загрузчика.
похоже, что он делает это в ASM, строка 189-223 https://github.com/miigotu/wiiflow-plus/blob/master/source/loader/patchhook.S

он проверяет TitleID игры (0x80000003) и что-то исправляет. Я догадываюсь, исправляя флаг свободного региона?

I don't know, I didn't find it. The latest version of USB Loader GX is installed.
UPD:
These settings in USB Loader GX helped launch the game:
Video Mode: Force NTSC
VIDTV Patch: ON
Patch Country Strings: ON
Game Language: English
IOS:249

This is an english only forum, please write in english.
you can write in Russian only in the dedicated Russian group.

If it works with Wiiflow, then use wiiflow for that game

Sorry, I copied a message in Russian from the translator, I'll fix it now

ah, so you managed to launch it ?
I guess Wiiflow "VIpatch" is the same as USBLoaderGX "VIDTV", both start with VI
Maybe you don't need the "country string" patch.

Happy gaming !
If you never played it, Okami is really great and long if you want 100%.

I was going to switch to WiiFlow anyway, but I thought: "Well, since I won't use USBLoaderGX, I'll try to dig into the settings one last time. Hmm VIDTV looks like a Vipwatch with WiiFlow, let's try it now."

 

[Mike_Cruzer]

ах, так вам удалось его запустить?
Думаю, Wiiflow "VIpatch" - это то же самое, что USBLoaderGX "VIDTV", оба начинаются с VI.
Может быть, вам не нужен патч "строка страны".

Удачной игры!
Если вы никогда не играли в нее, Okami действительно великолепна и длинна, если вы хотите 100%.

Thank you for helping me.

I've been having real trouble trying to get USB Loader to work properly with my Wii games. Most of them show up with banners, while some don't at all. Even with that, only a couple actually run, while the others linger on a black screen. I've used Modmii to get the latest IOSs and used d2x to install the CIOS, but nothing has made it any better. None of the Wiiware installed on the emunand works either, despite all the wads I've teste so far working just fine on the system menu. I've checked the default loader and game settings (249/250 and 58 respectively), but it hasn't made any difference. All the Gamecube games work fine, so what am I doing wrong?
