Hacking USBLoader GX autoboot on later model Wii?

[Hephaestus]

Friend of mine has a later model Wii.
Is it possible to have it start USB Loader GX on boot?

And how would i configure it to return to USB Loader GX after Wii/Gamecube games?

"later model" with no further clarification doesn't mean much, but any Wii (as opposed to a Vwii, or at least for now WiiMini) supports Priiloader, which can autoboot any reasonably-sized homebrew

And how would i configure it to return to USB Loader GX after Wii/Gamecube games?

You need a forwarder channel too, and you configure your USB loader to patch the game's exit function (which in practice runs title 00000001-00000002, the Wii Menu) to point to the forwarder instead
(or you could do the above and set Priiloader to "return to" "autoboot", but that's less efficient)

Don't know if/how GX implements custom-return-to for GC games, the basic principle is the same (telling Nintendont what to run when exiting) but the setting/implementation may be different

Yeah. Priiloader is what we are going for.

Been working on a little guide.
What do you think of it so far?
Guide:
To make USB Loader GX Autoboot: Download this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/us...EO Channel Booter for Priiloader.zip/download
Download USBLoaderGX from SourceForge.net
Game backup loader for Wii and vWii
put the file on the SD card in: Apps/Uneoboot
once with the original filename, once called "boot.dol"
Hold reset button while powering on Wii to start Priiloader. On Priiloader go to "install file", browse to the "uneoboot.dol". Install it. Back to main menu. There you can now set this installed file to autoboot. Wish i could tell you the exact menu options, but i have no actual Wii onhand. Only got a Wii U. We can figure this out after stream.

I am sorry. I lack that kinda knowledge.

You need someone really knowledgeable like @Cyan
