Hacking USB Loader GX

[blahdc]

I'm running GX Loader with V 4.2U. Is anyone having problems with loading channels through GX loader? When I try to load a channel it reboots to GX Loader.....what am I doing wrong?

I have a little problem while booting super smash bros brawl with the latest version of usb loader gx,
I press the disc in usb loader and the screen goes blue instantly at first I thought it had frozen but after waiting a while the music from the intro started to play and afters just pressing around on different places trying to start a game or something the screen went normal.
The blue color it has is the normal color for the tv when theres no video input.
This happens every time I boot the game with this usb loader but is easy fixed by pressing 'A' once to get into the main menu and then pressing 'left', 'down', 'A', 'left', 'A' and then 'A' again this sets the screen sharpness thing and makes everything normal.

I have system menu 4.0, my Wii is PAL and SSBB is NTSC (since I bought it before EU release) and this started occurring after the latest update.
I have tried to change some settings resulting with the game not booting at all or blue screen thing.
Please, any solution? Any one else with this problem?

(also sry for posting here even though I have a thread but I don't think anyone will read it anymore...)

Could do with a small guide (or a link to one) for applying themes. I was able to find a few to download but it is very hard to see any instructions for apllying these.

Any help much appreciated.

That is what I did, works fine. Just change your paths in the GX Loader settings.

thanks for the fast reply...so i don't have to usb where the R is...gr8 that was my main concern

do you have your loader running off sd card or the usb hdd?

I have my loader running of my sd with preloader and the gx forwarder. I'm not sure where you are getting "R" from but in GX Loader the path will just look like USB:\images

GX loader can only read you first partion on your USB HD when you are setting up paths.

Why does the Readmii say "DO NOT UPDATE YOUR WII TO VERSION 4.2!! THIS WILL BLOCK ALL HOMEBREW!!"?

Because it will.

We can't expect that everyone is all over these forums and knows how to safely update.
I'm still not sure why anyone would chance it anyways...no new features or fixes worth taking the risk of screwing it up or missing a step.

I changed it to "Delete" as it doesn't really get blocked. But still, there are NO advantages from updating

Someone told me this app can load gct files off a usb and play with those codes off a regular legit game disc. Is this true? My sd card slot is broken. If it is true can you tell me how to do it? Thanks

I'm using USB Loader GX on PAL Wii and only ever tried PAL games as worried about bricking my Wii

However, more and more games are coming out NTSC only that I would like to play therefore can anyone confirm if I was to rip an NTSC game to my hard disk using USB Loader GX to then play on my Wii would it work ok and is there anything I need to consider to ensure I don't brick my Wii?

Thanks

USB loaders don't load updates so its safe
btw, the update is removed when you rip it or when you put it on the drive with WBFS manager

I'll re-post this... Someone told me this app can load gct files off a usb and play with those codes off a regular legit game disc. Is this true? My sd card slot is broken. If it is true can you tell me how to do it? Thanks

I found that preloader was interfering with my drive, so I installed startpatch. I can't seem to play Ghostbusters twice in a row without a shutdown. I have rev14 installed. Any ideas?

Someone told me USBLoader GX could also load wiiware games without having to install the wiiware games on the wii (with costs blocks of the wii)

Is this true, I can find how to do this?
Should the wiiware games be on SD or can the be on USB HD as well?

Many thanx!

go to the gx settings page, find the game load settings, and set the default behavior to autopatch.

Any games that are installed on the wii nand and kept there can be accessed throught GX. If you move them to SD you can no longer load them from GX. No wads can be played regardless of whether they are packed or unpacked at this time. You'll have to wait on that.
