First, be sure you installed the needed files on your SD card. You need some files in sd:/sneek folder, don't follow Uneek (USB) tutorial and put them on SD, like I've read above. You need to only follow the Sneek tutorial to get SD files to put on SD.
Then, go to USBGX, settings, Miscelaneous, Launch neek.
USBLoaderGX will load either SD:/sneek/ or USB:/sneek/ based on the location of your emuNAND folder.
so, if you put your emuNAND on SD, it'll look at SD:/sneek/ (and this is the easiest).

If you want to launch Uneek, but use any other neek launcher but USBGX, then it's harder to setup, because you have to put Uneek (for USB) on SD too. Don't put files on SD when the tutorial tells you to copy on USB if your emuNAND is on SD.
Other launchers (Bootmii, or NSwitch) are always booting sd:/sneek, even if your emuNAND is on USB, so the user has to juggle with the files on Sd based on the location of their EmuNAND.
I added the autodetection on USBGX so users can have both SD and USB at the same time, and the loader just pick the right file based on the used device.



it will launch neek without autobooting a game, you'll end up into your own System menu, but that's the one "emulated" from the emuNAND Folder. If you have hundreds of WAD installed on your emuNAND, it will takes a looooong time to boot. could be more than 1 minute.
From here, wait 10-30seconds (I don't know why it's not accessible right away), and press 1 or 2 on the wiimote to display hidden menus.
Look for region free option, and enable it.
Then, exit neek by either switching OFF the console, or launch the "NK2O" channel if you installed it on your emuNAND (and see it from the 48 available channel slots from the sysMenu, or use 1 or 2 to list all your games) which will reboot the console.


Though, Like I said, bit trip games don't require Neek. You should be able to launch them from USBGX "emuNAND Full" mode.

I am only using an sd card so would sneek work instead of uneek?

Yes, the s in sneek refers to sd card just like u in uneek means usb. It's under features.

hey there, i don't see a region free setting in my neek2o menu after pressing 2. is it because i selected no to the priiloader/system hacks option in modmii? Thanks.

update: needed to use + and - (plus and minus) buttons to get to that menu. some wads still not working, so i presume they are wrong region or corrupt. which is odd because i now have region free everything in neek2o and priiloader. mega man 9 and 10 start up and my tv shows 480i, so it makes me think they are pal.

Hello for the last few days I've been trying wii with emunand, Neek2o and nothing all the time it showed me a black screen after prub to launch vc games. Today I finally made it, every game I installed showmiiwad starts without any problems 💕🙂🙂
Now I'm going to configure the usb loader gx to run wiiware and vc games from it.
Information that may be useful, well, I tried to use uneek dl and here was the problem, finally I used sneek from the memory card and everything works so far 😅🙂

    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double

    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
