I've tried multiple different VC wads on my console and none work. They show a black screen and my controller turns off. I used ShowMiiWads to make sure they were all PAL but still nothing happens. Does anyone know what I can do?

Why everybody think our magic ball is working fine when asking for help?

I did something and want help, please?

you didn't really explained what you did and how.

By stating you used "ShowMiiWad" I suppose you are talking about NAND redirection.
But we don't know which method you are using to access it.

is that Neek, Neek2o, cIOS (usbloaders/mighty channel)?
How did you create your NAND folder copy? (usually called emuNAND)
what's your setup and program version?
which "VC" ? (neogeo require specific settings for example, N64 too, etc.)

you can't just expect everything to work with the same setup. without more information, we can't suggest you the proper fixes because you'll need different setup for different apps you want to launch.


Edit:
Oh, sorry, I guess you just try to install them to your console, not using redirected NAND. You used ShowmiiWad only to check the region.
So, what I can suggest:
- don't put the game on the SD menu! (or you'll need to patch IOS80 first).
- Maybe the wad is bad.
- Are other wad working fine and only the VC not working? (again, which VC console? all of them)

    If I can put my mind past the fact the big pizza places use cheap cheese that isn't 100% cheese, I do like the taste.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    lol big pizza places use cheese with fillers since it's cheap, not because of taste

    Restaurant near me closed and has reopened as the third pizza place it's been since I lived here, they got indian pizzas like butter chicken pizza, masala paneer, and chicken tikka pizza. Sooo excited to try those lol

    The secret ingredient is having a mixer for the dough and a special pizza oven for the pizza - honestly it makes it easy.
    trying to do it in a regular oven just isn't going to get you 100% there
    but of course cost is an issue for most people. I use the pizza oven twice a week so to me it's worth it

    A little pizza oven like an Ooni is possible but not really practical for me since I'm in an apartment. Would be a pain in the ass plus I gotta store it and what not

    yeah the outside ones are cool - but electric is so much more convenient, just plug it in, wait 20 minutes or so
