----------------------------------------------------------------------SOLVED!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the "games" folder of the SD card (where my GCN ISOs are), make a new folder with the name of the game + the game's ID code in an open bracket (i.e. Luigi's Mansion [GLME01], place the game's ISO in the newly named folder and rename that ISO to "game.iso".

See this more elaborate details:

I'll leave this up for anyone who's having this issue

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seems like I'm doing something wrong and maybe there's someone that can point me in the right direction.

SYSTEM: Wii U (running in vWii)

I have USB LOADER GX running my Wii games off a USB HDD stick, works perfectly.

I have NINTENDONT running all my GCNs off the SD that has my TIRAMASU mod, works perfectly.

But, I would love to get those sweet cover art for my cube games and play them through USB LOADER GX!

Is there a setting in USB LOADER's menu I'm not doing correctly (see pics)? Should I be renaming these GCN iso/s?

THANKS!

I don't know if usb loader gx needs games named game.iso inside separate folders with game ID and name. I know nintendont no longer needs the first disc named game.iso but usb loader gx might. I have boxart and banners for my games that way.

For me, it was the only way for GCN ISOs to be seen in USB LOADER GX. I only have roughly forty games to backup, so it didn't take too long to rename the folders. Works great now!

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
