Hacking Why is USBLoaderGX Hanging on the initialize usb device part?

[WiiUser73]

When i boot to USBLoaderGX, and my usb disk is connected to my wii, the program hangs on the initialize usb device. I tried to even change the IOS to 58, but it still crashed. I tried both usb ports but it still crashes. Any help please?

iirc, I think the hdd needs to be plugged in to a specific usb port on the back.

That's true for specific versions of CIOS. Try reinstalling the dxCioS with latest versions and latest IOS WADs

This is a very annoying thing I finally figured out just recently.

IOS58 can do GameCube ISOs.
cIOS249 can do Wii & GameCube, but has issues running on USBs over 16GB.

Set Game's IOS to 249.
If USB <= 16GB, set Loader's IOS to 249, else set Loader's IOS to 58.

and ofc dont forget to have cIOS249 installed and use USB SLOT0 (nearest to ground if Wii is in horizonal orientation)
