I successfully performed the softmod of adding the homebrew channel to my vwii on my Wii U the other night. I was then able to run the Nintendont app and get my gamecube backups working. I softmodded my Wii before and had USB Loader GX running on that with my Wii and GC games just fine. I thought I'd install USB Loader GX on my Wii U. Tonight I learned to run USB loaders, I'd have to first change the vWii cIOS settings. I followed a youtube tutorial on how to do this and everything seemed fine. I tried a couple games and everything seemed normal until I tried my backup of Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. The game booted with a black screen and a crazy green line and then eventually changed to the progressive scan selection and warning screen that was all garbled. This never happened when I only tried using Nintendont the night before without changing the cIOS options. I was able to play with the Nintendont video options, which made the strange garbled video go away, but then the game would always want to display in 16:9 even if I had all widescreen options disabled for the loader and tried to force 4:3.
I have no idea if the changes in cIOS settings is what made this happen, but now I'm regretting even messing with it. After further research tonight, it looks like I can't even revert these settings back even though I did perform a nand backup prior to changing the cIOS settings.
Does anybody have any suggestions on something I may be missing to make the existing configuration work normally or to somehow revert my settings back to how they were pre-cIOS changes? All I was hoping to do is being able to have my GC and Wii games run off my external HD for convenience sake. Maybe was asking for too much...
