Vwii - Rock band and other games - microphone/usb instruments problem

So I am trying to play a bunch of instrument games through vwii. It seems like the usb isn't being recognized. After doing some research, it sounds like different versions of cIOS allow different number of usb ports to be active (correct me if I'm wrong here please).

I just followed the guide on wiiu.hacks.guide and have slot 259,250,251 using d2x-v10-beta52 (base 56,57,58 respectively). I haven't changed any settings for the rock band games yet.

For people who have already solved this problem - Did you have to install a new cIOS? If so to what slot? Do you set rock band and other games like it to start using that specific cIOS? Does this leave the compatibility of all of the other games alone (do the other games still start using their appropriate/default cIOS?)

In the back of my wii U I have 2 hard drives plugged in at all times (wii U hard drive + ustealth'ed vwii/gc drive). Will this interfere with the active usb slots? (like if I manage to load rock band with a cIOS that allows more usb ports, do I need to be using the back usb slots? or can I use the front usb ports?)

Sorry - these are a lot of questions but I would like to thoroughly be done with this set up once and for good.

 

thanks for the video. Any insight into some of my other concerns?

 

tried changing the cIOS to 249 and 250 and still no luck. Anyone else have a solution to this?

 

Just an update. Tried a lot of things to no avail.

loaded rock band 3 using... cIOS 249, 250, 251 (d2x-v10-beta52)
still wouldn't recognize any usb peripherals (used the back usb)

then I installed cIOS d2x-alt in 230 and 231 (56/57 respectively) and tried loading rock band using each of those. Still won't recognize my usb instruments (tried all usb ports, tried plugging it in before loading the game).

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

tried exactly that - still no luck. have you gotten your own rock band instruments to work?

 

After abundant researching, it seems like no matter what the back USB's must be used. in vwii using usbloader, the front ones will not work. now it is a matter of finding a cios that will allow the back one to work. it seems like for the wii, hermes was the way to go. but for the vwii, that is dangerous (and will possibly brick the vwii).

 

i'm about to put a bounty out on this. nobody else has solved this issue?

 

I also tried a USB hub... anyone try any other CIOS that I should know about?

 

I tried changing d2xrev53alt to base 36/37 but cios installer won't let me.

CMON I know we can solve this issue - it really is a problem if you want to play rhythm games on vwii!!!

 

still searching. I tried all 3 ports (can't unplug my vwii hard drive) for all the cios and no luck. I'll pay $50 if anyone can find me a solution that works. Doesn't even have to be your solution as long as what you link works.
