While loading usbloadergx if the pen usb is in the bottom port it will get stuck in reinitializing diveces, otherwise it works but doenst detect the pen(on the top port).
I had it working once but my wii just froze while doing the dump nand to emuNand thing that says in this video(min 14:58) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPBXGk_A5fQ
I am now trying to run the system check from wii.syscheck
novel cypress
if you are doing that, send the syscheck.csv file it creates on the root of your SD card
generally we don't recommend using video guides. a safe guide to use is https://wii.guide (for dumping nand to emunand, https://snare-hawk.github.io/emuNAND is my go to guide)

i dont have an sd card because my sd card slot doenst work anymore(idk why)
im trying to do it all via usb only
novel cypress
then you'd have to take pictures of the output
it's possible for sure, most people don't do it that way but it should work
turbid shoal
do you think its worth trying to fix the sdcard slot?
novel cypress
probably not, or at least for now
turbid shoal
novel cypress
that looks normal
are you using a flash drive by chance? and which port is it plugged into?
turbid shoal
yes im using a 4gb fat32 flash drive, i belive its called 0 port
the weird thing is the usbloader opens if the usb is on the port 1, although it doesnt detect the usb as an hdd
i can go grab an external sdd i have( do i need to clean it out? bcs it has 2Tb and has some stuff written )
novel cypress
if it goes to USB yeah that should work
turbid shoal
yes im using a 4gb fat32 flash drive, i belive its called 0 port
also i forgot to mention, when i was trying to do the flashnand thing when my wii froze i turned it off and when i checked my usb drive i had to format it bcs it had file dmg
novel cypress
you shouldn't need to clean it out assuming it is formatted to fat32 using wii backup manager or GUIFormat
https://wii.guide/wiibackupmanager has a download link
turbid shoal
should i copy the files over this usb or just download new ones
i also tryied formatting my wii but it didnt do much
welp, i tryed putting another ubs flash drive and my hdd and none of them appeared on the homebrew
development, formated my drive and it works fine aka i can enter usbloader again
another question

turbid shoal

novel cypress

wbfs stands for Wii backup file system, stuff installed onto a usb storage device (preferably hard drive)

Wii Backup Manager supports ISO and WBFS. So an nkit.iso would need to be converted to regular ISO before using it with WBM

i saw that but when i tryeid the file became ginourmos and i gave up 😛

yeah it does become much larger but will shrink again once used with WBM because it will convert it to a wbfs which is a similar size to nkit
nkit just isn't supported on Wii hardware for Wii games

i am a bit lost in mario cube where are the games? Im in the wii folder

i am a bit lost in mario cube where are the games? Im in the wii folder
go back to the website then click get wii/wiiu/gc/ds games
turbid shoal
ask for permission to google drive file
and i got this mail
north grove
follow all the instructions

Most games didn't get updates so if there was something a game dev wanted to fix they'd just use a new revision for any new games printed
novel cypress
well now Nintendo does pretty much the opposite but that's offtopic for this thread
turbid shoal
and just to be sure i can put this on the drive wbfs folder and go try it on the wii loader right?
turbid shoal
okay
ill try
im logging off now but ty for all the help i will try it again tomorrow
turbid shoal
I have to say guys
Gg its a success I managed to do it
turbid shoal

north grove

turbid shoal

turbid shoal
wiiGSC gave me this error

Do NOT make a shortcut for the games “Mario Party 9” or “A Boy and His Blob”. It will brick your Wii.
You picked one of the two games that can brick your Wii
turbid shoal
ahaha lucky me
so i can play it via the usb loader right; also to create a usb loader wad to put in the wii do i use wiigsc?
smoky venture
Yeah you can still play them via USBLGX.
USB Loader GX has official Forwader Channels. You can install them to the Wii System Menu using a wad manager like Wii Mod Lite:
Only install forwarders meant for your system.
