Hacking USB Loader GX

[chimera47]

It should be on your sd or usb, wherever it was launched from

If u can't get a copy of it then just use the main Modmii Wizard to resoftmod your wii as if it were a virgin, it will overwrite outdated mods anyway

thanks, yeah i triple checked the SD and it's not locked but can't find the file anywhere, took some pics with the phone

got everything sorted out thanks XFlak, one more thing, so i'm just running game off my SD card, trying to stop the HDD timer
i see in the GXGlobal.cfg, USBAutoMount = 0, but that didn't seem to bypass the HDD timer?

Will usbloadergx support rvz files one day, or it's only a dream ?

RVZ files are actually compressed, which makes them quite different from WBFS files which essentially ignore all the padding that an ISO file has. There is no facility in the Wii for decompressing the images on the fly and then running them, and the Wii has a very small fraction of the memory that would be required to do this decompression task in any case. In fact, Dolphin on PC states you need an additional cpu/core for their RVZ engine just to decompress the chunks of data. It is certain that it will never, ever happen on a real Wii. The hardware is not capable. There is nothing that can be done in USBLoader GX or cIOS to change that.

Hey all. I have a problem with USBL GX I haven't been able to find an answer to. I could have sworn I once saw someone else with the same issue when I was looking into vWii forwarding, but now that I actually have the issue I can't find anyone talking about it. Anyway, I digress...

I used TeconMoon's Wii VC injector to inject a USBL GX forwarder dol (which I got by extracting it from the the vWii forwarder wad in Github using CustomizeMii) using the homebrew injection mode. This works almost perfectly - I can launch USBL GX with gamepad support, all GC games show up, etc. The problem is that when I go to actually launch a GC game it just launches the main nintendont menu and doesn't autoboot the game. If I open the Nintendont settings at that point, all settings are set to "off", and even if I change a few of them inside nintendont (eg setting autoboot on and wiiu widescreen on), then launch a game, the settings are gone when I return to nintendont via the same path next time.

Autobooting GC games via Nintendont works fine if I enter USBL GX from the system menu, or even via a vWii forwarder made with boot2vwii. In that scenario selecting a GC game starts it up normally.

What is up with VC inject mode that's causing the nintendont settings not to be passed on correctly? Has anyone seen this before or knows how to fix it? if the USBL GX forwarding to nintendont isn't working in VC inject mode I might as well just make a nintendont VC inject instead, but I really like the USBLGX UI and would prefer to use it.

Also, my understanding is that the only way to get gamepad support on vWii NAND titles is with a VC NAND inject forcing classic controller emulation, right? I thought I read once in some thread that VC injecting USBLGX would allow launching NAND titles with gamepad support but everything I've seen since says that's not possible without further cIOS work since the cIOSes that allow both to function are conflicting. Just wanted to make sure that's still the case.

I used wii.hacks.guide to get the homebrew channel and USB Loader GX up and running on my Wii. I chose to go the SD card route and have one small annoyance. I'd like to have USB Loader GX automatically use the SD card instead of having to press A every time the app is launcher. I set Mount USB at Launch to 0, but it is still prompting me to press A for SD card mode at startup. What am I missing? Thanks.

I think i might of found a bug with r1281 if i go to gui settings and turn off show play count then the remember last game setting gets turned off so if i choose a game like mario kart and then switch to select loader mode and change it to emunand or gamecube titles then when i turn it back to wii titles it displays random games not mario kart like it should switching it back to show play count on fixes it but this sucks because i hate show play count can anyone confirm this?

Load usb loader gx go to settings then hard drive settings then turn sd card mode on.

SD Card Mode is set to "ON", Mount USB at launch is set to "0"

 

[worm28]

SD Card Mode is set to "ON", Mount USB at launch is set to "0"

Mount USB at launch needs to be set to off double check your settings.

Apologies, I misspoke. SD Card mode is set to "ON", Mount USB at launch is set to "OFF" and USB Port is set to "0".

Good evening,
I'm sure you can help me. In the image below, with the tab at the top middle highlighted, we have this display. Me, with the same tab, I only have three games displayed, in close-up. I would like my Wii to display the same thing with this tab.
Is it possible without installing themes, perhaps by modifying the settings, that my Wii gives me this display?
For information, I have 89 games.

Bonsoir Bonsoir,
je suis sur que vous pouvez m'aider. Sur l'image ci-dessous, avec, l'onglet en haut, au milieu, en surbrillance, nous avons cet affichage. Moi, avec le même onglet, je n'ai que trois jeux affichés, en gros plan. J'aimerai avec cet onglet que ma Wii affiche la même chose.
Est-il possible sans installer de thèmes, peut être, en modifiant les paramètres, que ma Wii me donne cet affichage ?
Pour information, j'ai 89 jeux.

In English please.

From what i understand only 3 games show up regardless of what UI layout option you choose, right?
First make sure you're using the latest version of usbloadergx.
On pc, use WiiBackupManager and set it to load the games that're on your usb drive, if they show up there, all of them, check one of the missing ones (that didn't show up on usbloadergx) and check its hash (md5). If it passes that means the game file is good to use. If the game failed the check means it's corrupt, and could be a reason (not saying the reason) why it's not showing.
Now if WiiBackupManager only sees those 3 games too and not all the others, means naming of the game folders isn't correct. You can do it manually or just transfer those files with WiiBackupManager to your usb drive and they'll have the correct naming after.
Whatever usb drive you're using (flash or ext hdd) should atleast make your games appear in USBLoaderGX, however whether all of them will work or not is a separate matter (if you're using a usb flash drive)..
I'd also like to ask you to post a syscheck, you could be missing some softmods for all we know..

 

[ROROFOU]

no no. All my 89 games are present. It's just that I would like to see two lines of games appear, with this tab.

You want it to look like in the first picture? Well that's not possible currently.
Uh, your could've been a bit better (on your OG post)..

 

[Clutz450]

Have you tried clicking the tab again? I know you can cycle through the different views to get what you want. If coughing multiple times on the tab didn't do it, let me know and I will figure it out on mine and let you know.

Has there been any update in getting the 480p fix working in later Wii revisions? Context here.

Time to shoot my shot, I've downloaded and installed usb loader gx through normal means on my Wii U (vWii), followed the procedure and it seems I'm facing a bug. When I select a channel the "Start" and "Settings" buttons just do not exist and it seems like banners for titles (Wii apps or games) are cropped weirdly. The attached image show how it looks.

I have the same issue with my vWii, same sd/hdd on my wii doesn't have any issues. I feel like I asked some ppl about it but either didn't get an answer or I can't locate it.

In any case, the buttons are still there, they're just invisible for some reason, if u click where they should be your games should launch.

Edit: if I get any more info or a better solution I'll share. I'll ask around on discord and see if I learn anything

Thank you for the answer. It's reassuring to know I didn't mess up the modding of my Wii U.

hello everyone recently modded my wii and got Mario kart as my first game to make sure everything worked, which it did. i proceeded to add more games and the rest of them don’t work through USB loader gx and don’t show up on wiiflow just Mario kart. i tried Mario kart again and I got the same issue of a black screen, I went through custom ios installer again and that seemed to fix Mario kart but none of the other games work I tried a couple youtube videos and nothing seems to work. also when I want to exit from USB loader to the wii menu it stays on a black screen for about 5 minutes before taking me back anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
