I am very much a noob when it comes to this so be easy on me lol

I recently installed 2 cIOS "things" in an effort to make "USB Loader GX" work correctly. The two cIOS's were: "cIOS36rev10" and "cIOS38rev14"

Once i was done with that, I tried to boot up USB Loader GX and it froze on a black screen.

So, I said to myself, "okay lets try another backup loader"

I then downloaded SD/USB Loader in wad form... when i went to install the wad with wad manager 1.5, after selecting ios249, my wii froze

I thin tried ios36, but i got a "ret=2011" error

So, it is now impossible for me to install any wad... so do i need to uninstall cIOS36 and cIOS38 to be able to use wad manager again?


P.S. Im also sorry if any of the above choices i made were stupid as i clearly have no idea what im doing...

P.S.S. System menu version: 4.2u

Are you sure the CIOSes installed correctly? A freeze involving 249 and wad manager usually means you didn't delete the IOS stub in slot 249 before trying to install a CIOS there. Check with DOP-Mii to make sure the version of IOS 249 is NOT 65280. If it is, you'll have to uninstall it, and then reinstall the CIOS.

Okay, this is like my friends case.
1st use trucha bug restorer (there are plenty of guides out there) to set up the ios 36.
then use dop mii and use ios 36, and go to ios bc mios, and delete those stubs.

MMM didnt work for my friend.. so i recommend you to use DOP-MII.

After you deleted those stubs, CIOS will install.

Haha, i figured that out last night.

I do have one more question though...

How come USB Loader GX freezes upon startup and SD/USB Loader makes the game crash upon startup and i get a "Error has occured, consult wii operations manual"

The only thing that works thus far is NeoGamma R8 RC3...

Gambia, The
cIOSrev10 doesn't work on "newer" Wiis, use rev14, 17 or 19(yes only one of those 3). I suggest to use Trucha Bug Restorer to get a fully patched IOS36 as IOS236 and then use that in the cIOS installer. Having this IOS236 has the following advantages over other options:
- It won't be overwritten by any system menu(unitl now, which means up to 4.2)
- If your cIOS is not WAD Manager compatible, like some of the cIOSrev19s, then you can use IOS236 to install and deinstall stuff
- It has a downgrade patch, so you can easily jump from cIOSrev19 to 17 if you want to

Awesome! I will do this on my wii when I get home. Just for safety

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
