Hacking USB Loader GX - r838 (Does the loader need SD?)

[hey_suburbia]

I spent a good portion of the night setting up my co-workers Wii.

I added 20+ games to the USB HD and tested all games, launched it dozens of times no problems.

I have the USB Loader GX channel installed on the wii menu.

I gave it to my co-worker (MINUS THE SD CARD), not sure why..., but now she gets a code dump screen on launch.

I guess my question is, once the channel is installed, do you need the files that are on the SD? cIOS, etc... or can you launch/play without SD card.

Thanks, sorry for the dumb question.

yes

 

[longtom1]

depends if it's a forwarder channel or a full install channel

 

[ziddey]

full install would still need the sd card to store files

 

[hey_suburbia]

No forwarder installed.

So, *any* SD card can be used for it to write temp files or does it need my SD card with the boot.dol/cIOS/etc...?

Thanks!

not temp files. where do you think settings save to

Yeah, I gotcha. My brain is just fried right now... Counting down the last 10 minutes at work on a Friday

a lack of settings files would most likely not result in a code dump. it would just load the default values for each option.
