Hacking Usb loader gx only displays channels

[AtomicPepper]

So i homebrewed (?) my wii today and installed usb loader gx
I have some wbfs files on my flash drive (formatted to fat32) and when i plug it into the wii and go to the usb loader gx it only shows my existing wii channels, i tried unticking everything and ticking only wii games but it wont show up, like its not recognizing the files

Btw, when i want to go to the homescreen from usb loader gx the console crashes

What can i do?

@AtomicPepper Flash drives aren't reliable, some work, some don't. My 16GB drive works fine, your's may not.
Also try both ports and see which one works.

Your problem can also be that you didn't place your WBFS files into the right places.

Seems right. What cIOSes do you have? Also, you can't load games from SD, you need a USB unless you're using CFG.

idk about the cios, how can i check?
and yeah im using a 32gb flash drive that is formatted to FAT32 (i formatted by going to this pc, right clicking the drive and then Format)

@AtomicPepper Use sysCheck: HacksDen edition
Also make sure to follow the sysCheck guide that's somewhere in the Tutorials section

try with a HDD instead of flash drive, you'll now right away if the problem is your device or not.
look at how many threads there are in this section about people having game detection/launch problems because of flash drives, and they all fixed their issues by not using them anymore.


you can try this :
USBLoaderGX > settings > loader settings > loader's IOS : 58
but it will fix your game detection ONLY inside the loader, it will not work when you launch a game because games always reloads to cIOS (and cIOS are not working with newer flash devices, only old ones).

really, instead of trying to find workaround, just fix your real problem. use HDD instead of flash.
