WiiFlow Lite can't open games, crashes back to wii menu

[DBZFan102]

What the title says. Here are the things I've tried so far:
- Updated cIOS 248 up to 251 to the most recent d2x versions.
- Changed the Nand Emulation configs to match the loader guide from r/WiiHacks.
- Changed Startup Settings to force various IOSes (249, 250 and 251).
- Changed the IOS settings of the game individually.

Problem has remained the same with no alteration. Interestingly, USB Loader CFG (which is admittedly a rather outdated loader) runs them with zero issue.
Also, when running games from Nintendont, I run into a problem that matches this user's exactly: I distinctly remember being able to run GC games before, not sure what config I changed. The games are on an NTFS-formatted USB drive; could formatting it to FAT32 help?

Here is my syscheck:

If there's anything I missed, I apologize. I have tried grappling with this same problem before, but it's always so mind-numbing... I think I might've posted here about it before, but if I did, it was years ago. But rest assured that I am using the current version of WiiFlow and the other apps involved, including the system menu, though I can't necessarily say the same about IOSes or other internal things like that.

What kind of hdd r u using? U can try Wiiflow if u like, or a dif hdd

Whenever the next gx update comes out it should have better usb thumb drive support

Edit: syscheck looks fine except for 1 thing, u should reinstall your hbc to use IOS58, it's unlikely to resolve your issue though. Just drag and drop your syscheck.csv onto modmii.exe and it will tell you what to

Okay, I will do that later. Even if it won't help with getting WiiFlow Lite to work, I would still like to have my Wii as up-to-date as possible.

I am using a 1TB external hard drive. I've just now formatted it into FAT32, which fixed the problems with GC games, but not the Wii games.

Make sure it's also formatted as MBR. If u need help u can use modmii's usbloader setup wizard/guide.

Your hdd is plugged into usb port 0 (the one nearest the edge), right?

Good morning,

Recommend==> use "wii backup manager" to manage your games with the external hard drive.

do not do ==> a simple copy and paste of your games on the DDE can corrupt the entire DDE.

If it's working with cfg the games should be fine

if games arent booting then he most likely needs the updated boot.dol (i really need to release this on github)

I am sorry to inform that this did not help at all.

I figured out the problem. Even though I had installed it onto my USB, WiiFlow was configured to use either SD paths, or some bizarre "usb8" thing... I changed it to the proper paths, and now it runs games as normal.

I also had to manually change the rest of the sd-reliant settings through the wiiflow_lite.ini file, since they're not displayed in the menu (as far as I could see), which then fixed another problem I was having, which was WiiFlow not displaying covers or recognizing my themes.

I have the same problem "usb8"... How did you managed to change the paths?

First of all, open whichever device you've installed WiiFlow in. Try opening your 'apps' folder there, then open the folder named 'wiiflow'. There should be a file named wiiflow_lite.ini there, open it with a text editor and scroll down to the [GENERAL] section. There, you'll find several options starting with 'dir' that have the paths WiiFlow is using currently. Edit where it says 'sd' or 'usb8' into 'usb1', or the device of your preference.
