Hi all! I came across some plugins for USB Loader GX on Youtube "r1261" to be exact, and I can't find out how to install these. I've tried searching all over this site. Can someone please help me or direct me to the correct thread for this? Thanks!!

Hello.:)

The regular USBLoader GX v3.0 r1272 and older Ones are not supporting such Plug Ins.:)

You have to use an modified MOD Version.

@alexander1970 So that thread seems kind of all over the place. Can you tell me or link me to the correct usb loader gx? i got the latest one last year but am not sure if it's the right one. Also, I don't know which folder to drop the plugin files on my sd card. Sorry, I'm not the best with modding and appreciate any clear instructions you'd be willing to give. :blush:

Hello.:)

First I have to say, personally I never used Plug Ins or the USBLoader Mod.:(

I use the Search Option from GBAtemp to see if we have such Thread before.
I am afraid I am no great Help for you in this Case.

Maybe @fledge68 can give you some Tips or Advises,he seems to know how plug Ins work on this USBLoader GX MOD.:)

Please have a little Patience,he will answer for sure.:)
Our USBLoader GX Supporter @Cyan is unfortunately not available at the Moment.

I hope,this helps you a little on your Plug In Adventure.

Thank you for your Understanding and good Luck.:)

I never thought it would be so hard to keep up with Wii modding going into 2020, but here we are haha!

I've got r1272 with plugin support and parental controls working. I'll probably push the changes to my GitHub when I've got more time.

Switching between plugins and launching games does works with USB Loader GX, but you can tell that addon support was tagged on. Like it doesn't integrate with a lot of the loaders options, it doesn't cache anything and it feels very incomplete when compared to WiiFlow Lite. So personally I'd recommend WiiFlow Lite if you're going to use plugins as it'll give you a much more polished experience.

Just look at https://gbatemp.net/threads/rhapsodii-shima-v2-0-prp-ed.544091/

I understand that some people would rather stick with what they're familiar with, so I could publish an updated version of the USB Loader GX plugin mod if it's in demand. I don't plan on adding any more features to it though.

Well I was initially going towards wiiflow lite... but I have everything almost perfectly set up in USB Loader GX and don't want to go through all of that again in wiiflow lite (at least for now). If I install r1262, will it be easy to update to 1272 once you release it? One more somewhat on-topic question. How do I get my wiiware/VC games (emunands?) to show up and playable through USB Loader GX, like what folder do I create, do I copy the wiiware/VC games wads to sd or HD, etc?

You'd just need to replace the dol and xml file :)

That's not a question that I can answer with confidence since I don't have any WiiWare or VC games.

I'm sure Cyan has probably answered this question before, so a Google search might get some results.

I just created an emunand on my HD and installed wiiware/vc wads there with usb loader gx (I feel cool again!), but some of the wiiware/vc games take a few minutes to load now. Someone said I may have set some settings to neek2o, but I never changed any settings. Has anyone had this issue and is there a way to fix this and have the wiiware/vc games load faster. Again, it is not all games, mostly the VC games.

Hello.:)

An Expert explained it to me with the following Words:

"The EmuNAND has not the perfect Game Compatibility like the real one with USBLoader GX." :)
