Hello, im currently using usb loader gx on my wii u, but i cant play wiiware throught emunand, when i try to load a wiiware or vc game installed on the emunand via usb loader or showmiiwads it puts me back to the wii menu. Do i need a specific IOS for wiiware and vc? I currently have installed IOS 236, 249, 250 and 251. Thanks
Thanks for answering. i just created a emunand to play wiiware/vc so if it does not work its ok, but i dont know how to install an ios to the emunand, i only have showmiiwads and installed some wads through it, can i install IOS80 through showmiiwads?
I can't remember how to do that anymore it been a few years since I messed with that stuff.

Not sure if this works for launching from emuNAND, but it's worth a try.

Whoa whoa whoa. Don't let the warning label scare you. It's not gonna brick your vWii. It's just a disclaimer.

it's a disclaimer that tells that patching the IOS80 is a possibility that it goes wrong, and you really brick your vWii as it's the IOS used by the System menu. If it's not patched correctly the System menu will not boot anymore.
For RealNAND:
The fact that your WiiWare/VC are not working has nothing to do with IOS80.
USBLoaderGX is using the cIOS set in your loader's setting to load channels. I tried launching official channels on vWii from USBGX and it's working fine.
Which are the games you are trying to play?
Is it the same region than your console, or a different region?
Are the games located on the NAND or on the SD ?
Channels located on SD can't be launched from USBLoaderGX.
For EmuNAND :
The Wii channels you launch from the Wii-created EmuNAND doesn't use vWii IOS80 either!
You don't need vWii IOS80 patched for emuNAND.
I'm using a NAND created on/for Wii, not one from vWii.
I don't know if it matters, but when launching Wiiware/VC, it actually uses the cIOS located on RealNAND (249 for example), and the system files located on EmuNAND (the one created for Wii .. and the channels are expecting the Wii files anyway, so it should work fine. No other IOS from vWii are accessed).
Patching IOS80:
Patching the system menu IOS is used to launch fakesigned (pirated) channels installed using Wad files, and then transfered into the SD menu.
If you launch the channels from System menu (not transfered to SD menu), you shouldn't even need to patch IOS80.
I didn't test it myself, but I think that's what the patch is used for.
Solution (maybe?)
If you have a Wii, dump your NAND from it using USBLoaderGX NAND dumping feature.
Then use this EmuNAND on vWii.
You can also create a vWii Sneek if you want. There's a tutorial on this forum.

Thanks Cyan. I have a wii too, and i tried dump the wii nand with usb loader gx and it worked on wii the wiiware games launch fine through emunand, but when tried on vwii with the wii emunand dump it continues to send me to the wii menu when i try to launch a wiiware game. I dont wanna mess around too much with IOSes, just thought there was a simple way to solve this.. thank you

on vWii there's not a lot of choices.
having slots doesn't mean a lot. in a slot you can install what you want, so telling you have 249 doesn't provide information of WHAT you really installed in the slot 249.
What's important is the actual content inside the slot, not if your slot is used or free.
What you need :
d2x cIOS rev10 or rev10-alt
base 56 : most games are working with a base56
base 57 : few games not working with base 56 require base 57
base 58 : few games require base 58 (mainly USB/Music games)
You can install any other base (38, etc.) suggested by the d2x installer.
So, I suppose you followed tutorials and installed what has been told to you, so you probably have these 3 bases (56/57/58).
But if you installed v10-alt, then know that it's less compatible with EmuNAND than v10 normal.
v10-alt adds support for dual USB Port in detriment to EmuNAND compatibility.
don't follow guides telling you to install latest versions of everything, knowing what's the difference and choose what you really need.
If it still doesn't work with v10 (normal, beta52), then I don't know why it doesn't work for you.
Also, you don't need to install all the three slots!
you can install only one cIOS with base 56, that's all. If you don't play games which require an IOS 57 or 58, don't install cIOS base57 or base58. only install the one you need. if you have v10-alt in 249/250/251, then you can try to install v10 in slot 249 only, no need to replace the other two slots with v10. Games and homebrew only use one IOS at a time. Having multiple versions has no real purpose if you don't need it.

you could try reading the sticky
http://gbatemp.net/threads/simple-guide-to-install-cios-on-vwii-backup-nand-and-keys.339890/
I have not made a nand backup yet, should i do it now? Even after i have installed the IOSes? So i think i need to install cIOS v10 beta53 on slot 56 right?(the non alt version) the keys thing should i make those too? and with ios236 do i need it? i have installed it because i read it gives permissions to certain things and i thought i needed it cause ahbprot was disabled in YAWMM. thanks

You already have beta53 (v10-alt)
You need beta52 (v10)
You don't need IOS236. (homebrew on vWii don't use it anymore)
You don't need to do a NAND dump, but it's recommended. Though it can be a very long process depending on your SD card, so do it later.
Run the d2x cIOS installer, and select :
v10 Beta 52
slot 249
base 56
version 21010
install it. Done.

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
