Hello everyone. I recently put the latest mods on my console as well as Wiiflow using a 32GB SD card formatted as FAT32. When loading Wiiflow from the HBC and selecting a game, this loading bar appears.
Prior to this, the forced CIOS was set to 250, and caused a black screen. After changing it to 251 (current setting), the infinite loading screen appears. I have never been able to successfully start a game.

Steps taken:
-Reinstall CIOS using the latest guide
-Tested games in USB Loader GX. A different screen appears (DSI exception)
-tested same files using Dolphin (games load normally)
-attempted to configure Wiiflow settings (no change)
-fomatted SD card and removed all contents, installed the hacks fresh using ModMii and started from scratch.
-verified games are in wbfs format with correct title ID and name

Wiiflow loading screen:

USB Loader GX error:

I did quite a bit of research, but didn't find much on this specific issue. I have also attached syscheck file and screenshots. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hello,

is the SD card formatted FAT 32 and is it MBR?
Ah, I just checked and it is currently FAT32 and GPT. Will check again and report back once it's tested. Thank you for the help. Had to remove the link in the reply due to account restrictions.

No change after formatting SD card to FAT32 and MBR. Will see if there is anything else in the guide I haven't tried.

Well, I have no idea what happened, but it's working now. I was converting my disc rips using a converter because WiiBackUpManager was acting weird.

Turns out the my rip needs to be processed using WiiBackUpManager by placing the rip on my PC, and using the 'Transfer' button to verify the file and move it to the WBFS folder on my SD card.
Thank you for the help. This was a lot of fun so I'll be sticking around these forums to learn more about modding.
