Okay, there are two things here:
game compatibility and USB compatibility.
1) Game compatibility
some games have specific requirement in IOS.
the IOS is the hardware driver, and only specific IOS have specific drivers in them.
If you want to use Skylander NFS portal accessory, you need a cIOS based on another IOS.
I know I usually tell users base57 is all they need, but it's 99% true
I got user report that the portal accessory works with base56. could you install base56 is slot250 and set that game to use slot250 ? (or another unused slot if you prefer, as long as it's between 230-253)
let me know if it works with 56. thanks.
that's probably the only game working with 56 but not with 57.
Confirmed:
Animal Crossing new leaf : cIOS base38 to use the keyboard
spongebob boating bash : cIOS base53 (tested on Wii) or 58 (tested on vWii)
2) USB compatibility
Plug the additional accessories before launching the game. the cIOS doesn't have plug&play support to detect plugged USB after launch.
If still not working:
to use port1, you need a cIOS compatible with both ports.
there are 3 :
Hermes cIOS v4 or 5.1 (old, but could still work)
d2x cIOS v9 beta (unreleased officially, only devs had it)
d2x cIOS v10-alternative beta (revision 53)
Most users use v10-alt, but this is a beta and it has issues :
some hardware are not compatible (hdd not found)
some games are not compatible (black screen)
some features are not compatible (emuNAND)
additionally, with r53 you get USB Port1 support AND attempt at plug&play support .
be aware that compatibility can take a hit.
