The usb loader gx rev 600 works, but i see the 2 rows of games. When i press down and switch between different style. I get half grn line, with wirting saying something about the spacing. than the loader restarts to the hbc channel. I had it working find, but when i use another dol file it did it. I reformat the sd card. but now still get it?

Trying to load MET PRIME TRIL with alt dol, I can get as far as Alt Dol - from disk, but when the screen is about to pop up to select the dol, my USB Loader freezes or gives me a code dump every now and then,... Both the channel and the homebrew does the same thing... But I can open, select, and launch Mortal Kombat using the Alt Dol method (after me slecting the dol and everything)

I have the retail version rented, and it works perfectly (from disk channel). I copied my iso from the retail disk.

I have Usb Loader Gx rev 715 (newest) and cios249 rev 10

could the rev 10 thing be the issue, or could it be something else?


EDIT: after installing CIOS249 rev 14, it worked. i could select the dol's from disk....
upon second try, same freeze happened. third and forth were also a freeze. Is there something wrong with my wii? how come everyone else can launch at LEAST mp1 and mp2?


ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! If there's one thing I hate more than anything else, it's when people keeps asking the same questions that have already been answered! If you had bothered to simply look a measly FIVE posts back from yours, you would have gotten the answer.
 
Hey. I keep having this problem with the loader: Randomly, when selecting something from a list (i.e. game, an option), it keeps moving up/down for absolutely no reason, making selecting something really hard. I hover over something, and the highlight thing keeps moving around up/down.

I sometimes have that problem too with the latest release of GX. Anyone else have this issue?

Are you using a wired wii sensor bar or a wireless one? I'm using a cheap wireless sensor bar as i dont own a wired one! Not sure if its any good as im using it in a small room and only paid £2.75 for it on ebay.
 
Need some help guys, and any would be appreciated! Just hooked my wii back up after a month of being packed up during a move. Everything was working perfect prior to when I put it away for the month. (at that time I had the most recent cios rev 13 installed) After turning on my wii I decided to update both the cios to rev 14 and updated the loader with the internal updater (to rev 715). Unfortunately, since I've made these two changes I find that I am getting frequent code dumps when I attempt to start a game. Every once and a while it will boot up fine but the code dumps happen most of the time. I'm at a loss to explain what's happening.

Thanks!

How can that be when you say you have cIOS 249 r10? The instructions state to use Hermes cIOS 222 r3 & to set both global & game options to use it.

And if you're using a PAL Wii you will need to use force NTSC for the video settings.

I am having the exact same issue. I get code dump whenever I go to select the dol from the disc. I got it to work once but thats it. GX either freezes or code dumps every time. I am using system menu 4.0 with CIOS249 rev 14. I realize that a previous version of GX will load metroid but the most current (715) will not. I am simply pointing this out in hopes that the GX team will fix this issue. Thanks and keep up the good work!

There is not an issue to fix here. r715 is working perfectly with Metroid Prime Trilogy for me and many others. There is user error here somewhere...

Delete your config files and try again. If that doesn't work, try cIOS 222 like has been suggested before...

Ok here is exactly what I just did. I deleted all of the .cfg files (GXGameSettings.cfg, global_settings.cfg, GXGameFavorites.cfg and GXGlobal.cfg) from my SD card. I then placed the DOL for Metroid 2 on the root of my card and named it R3ME01.dol (the game id) I then launched GX and turned on 002 fix and enabled alt dol from sd. I used IOS 249. This time all I got was a black screen. I can do the exact same thing with Neogamma using the exact same dol file and it works perfectly. See HERE

I will try a few more things and update this post..... but Metroid should load using 249 since Neogamma does it.

UPDATE: After deleting all the cfg files like you said I tried again loading the dol from disc. I changed "Alternate DOL" to "DOL from disc" then click "DOL from disc" and I get this message after selecting the dol from the disc. This is EXACTLY what it says.

It seems that you have some information that will we helpfull to us. Please pass this information along to the DEV team. R3ME01- 780


Maybe that means something to the GX developers. I am using the newest GX (715) with Cios 249 rev 14.

UPDATE 2: After getting this error message to pass on to the DEV team I went on and continued to load Metroid the game loaded fine!

UPDATE3: When loading Metroid 1 (rs5mp1_p.dol) it loads fine. When loading Metroid 2 (re5mp2_p.dol) I just get a black screen. When loading Metroid 3 (rs5mp3_p.dol) I get a message to insert a disc. And with all of these when I change the dol file I want to use on the disc I get the error message I posted.

UPDATE4: I tried all the game dol files from sd again one by one. I renamed them R3ME01.dol and loaded each one one at a time on my sd. I got the same results as running the dol from the disc. I did get metroid 2 to work with Neogamma using this method but still a black screen with GX.
 
Working now with cios 222 and settings stated previously... But mp3 is a tiny but jumpy and camera shakes around. getting tired, will fiddle with it more tomorrow, if errors/jumpyness is consistant may ask for a little more help.

Sorry for being one of the people asking the same ol questions over and over, but this stuff can be a tiny bit intimidating sometimes (even with a nand backup

With rev 715 I noticed that every now and then when I try to load Animal Crossing using Ocarina codes I just get a black screen and nothing else. I followed the suggestions posted elsewhere on changing Global/Game IOS and other settings but the only thing that seems to fix the problem is disabling Ocarina codes all together. Normally I don't play with cheat codes so I never noticed the problem before but I have had problems with the power going out on my block several times a day over the last couple weeks and if you don't save in Animal Crossing you you have to deal with the mole yelling at you for 5 minutes when you turn the game back on and luckily you can disable that via a cheat.

I'm not too hard up for a solution since the game works fine in other loaders using cheats, though I much prefer the GUI of USB Loader GX. I just wanted to mention it here since I couldn't find anything that fit my problem in a search of the forms and I thought the devs might like to know about the bug (if they do not know already.) Thanks for the great loader!
 
Well I have managed to make the homebrew channel go to the title channel instead, also to make it not be locked and even to hide the titles I do not want it to show. So if any of this is something you might want to know just ask and I will let you know how it is done.

Can you make a dol of rev715 that don't lock the homebrew channel in parental mode?

I don't know how to put up a dol, but if you know how to compile one I can tell you what to change. Under source/menu.ccp go down to line 662 and just remove the if (Settings.godmode) line. Than just compile as normal and the hbc will not be locked ever again. I hope this helps. I will try to post a download for all my changes in a dol file. I hope this helps.
 
I'm running r715, with cIOS14 and 4.1E, and for some reason whenever I try and load Smash Bros. Brawl with Ocarina enabled, it just won't load or it crashes with an error. When I turn Ocarina off, it works though.

Any ideas? I know the cheats work, as I tried them with the disc and GeckoOS before.
