You don't need to uninstall the previous one. Just (re)install the newer d2x into slot 249.

Sorry, but how can you mess up your Wii just for one game by installing an old cIOS? It has been confirmed many times now, that the Driver issue is not linked to the cIOS but to the loader. I suggest you to install 249d2x6[56] for all your hardware and games to work correctly again. Use USB Loader GX 2.2 final, up to 1107 or latest beta r1111. This game won't work with other loaders atm.

Use ModMii to create the wad or d2x installer 3.0 and install d2x6 (21006) with base 56 into slot 249.

Ok - i just installed d2x CIO v3.0 with the settings (d2x6 21006, base 56, slot 249). It installed with no errors (green bars everywhere!). I then went to my channels and selected a game, but unfortunately, when clicking "start", i still get an error against a black screen "unable to load game press home to exit".

Note - the games still work through the wii flow channel

I went back into d2x CIOS 3.0 and one thing i noticed at the bottom of the 1st screen ... current IOS : 36 v1042

If I go into Neogamma channel , it shows IOS 249 v21006 at the bottom but when i select the option for hard drive from the menu, it says cant mount the usb drive. Fails after 30 attempts

Even the USB Loader GX and CFG channels that i installed today dont work. Just goes straight back to the Wii Menu channels main screen. However, these apps do work if i run through Homebrew channel and i can see the games on the usb drive!

What am i missing? Thanks in advance!

Use ModMii to update your softmod. I used this to update the mod on my brothers Wii and it worked a treat. His was on on system menu 3.2 so I told the ModMii wizard that the Wii had never been hacked (as recommended) and it downloaded everything in one go as well as updating the system menu to 4.1.
With the latest version of USB Loader GX (r1110) this game loads and plays fine but COD:BO wouldn't work. I was then given a link to beta version r1111 and this fixed the COD:BO issue but then Driver would crash after each mission. I've now gone back to using r1107 and both games seem OK.

I had this exact freeze also but fixed it
I'm using d2x6 (21006) with base 56 into slot 249 and the lastest beta Neogamma; I got past that screen by turning off everything to do with Ocarina, using No Hook type. I normally always keep it on, but turning it off fixed that exact problem for me. I can replicate the freeze by turning the debugger back on

Hi again - good news at last ... i managed to get the usb loaders running again through the channels. For some reason, i was on ios55. I re-installed the ios58 and then I re-installed the usb forwarders and they work from the wii menu!

One issue is that the channels for the games like grand slam tennis, nfs nitro etc still dont detect the hard drive even after i re-installed teh wads using wad manager 1.7. The wads were originally generated many years ago using Yaulct 1.2

You've all been very helpful - very grateful! Any suggestions on how to get my game channels working again?

Thanks in advance

I can confirm that the latest USB loader GX USB load GX (revision 1100) doesnt freeze after each level. just go to the page and click on the first logo, install the forwarder, put the files on the SD and away you go. The boy is happy now.

Off topic, for the life in me i couldnt figure out the revision numbers for GX, just get the latest on the gbatemp link (its on page 1) (page 980 explains the problem and will hopefully get fixed)

is there a fix for cfg?

i downloaded the usbloadergx fix but usbloadergx wont find my usb device. does usbloadergx only support one format? i forget which my external HDD is but its 1tb full so i cant reformat. so if usbloadergx only supports fat32 or ntfs and not both im screwed.

i know cfg works for most other wbfs files...is there a fix for cfg?

wait...iv just tryed cfg and its gone past first mission fine but i get black screen again after second mission!

do i have to restart the wii for each mission!? lol

oh nevermind, this is too much hassle for a game i dont really like very much. the shunting doesnt work at all, im trying to forward shunt and doing a sideswipe into a wall/tree/other car everytime! sucky

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • 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.
