I have cover art for games, but they don't load.
Some games I had downloaded would either go back to the Wii menu or would spit out an error message.
The games I want to work are:
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Mario Kart Wii
Cartoon Network - Punch Time Explosion XL

If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated.

is this random or is there only 1 outcome for each game

warm ice Dec 24, 2022, 5:52 AM

#

depends on which game

warm ice Dec 24, 2022, 7:37 AM

#

Can you power down the Wii, connect the drive to your PC, then search in windows for cmd and press enter.
in the command prompt, type chkdsk x: but replace x with the letter for your drive.
then screenshot the output.

Looking to verify that no issues are found and that you have
32kb (32768 bytes) or 64kb (65536 bytes) in each allocation unit.

If you have a different allocation unit size backup your data and reformat to FAT32 with the correct allocation unit size for your drive.

warm ice Dec 24, 2022, 7:38 AM

#

Alright, first of all

#

how CAN I connect the drive?

viral epoch Dec 24, 2022, 7:38 AM

#

#

if it's an SD insert into your SD slot or use an SD to USB adapter

#

If it's a USB drive connect it to your PC like a normal

warm ice Dec 24, 2022, 7:39 AM

warm ice Dec 24, 2022, 7:39 AM

#

#

If your game loader app is on SD, double check the write lock slider is in the up position like this image

warm ice Dec 24, 2022, 7:40 AM

#

it is up

#

Larsenv told me days ago

warm ice Dec 24, 2022, 7:42 AM

#

viral epoch are your games on SD or USB drive

SD

#

we (me and Larsenv) tried USB, but didn't work

#

so it's on SD

#

a 16GB one to be exact

viral epoch Dec 24, 2022, 8:04 AM

#

Did u do the right drive?

#

#

U can't load Wii games from a drive formatted to exFAT so if u ever tried using it, it wouldn't work

warm ice Dec 24, 2022, 8:05 AM

#

#

#

this is the SD card

viral epoch Dec 24, 2022, 8:05 AM

#

#

viral epoch it's 8192 bytes in each allocation unit size

viral epoch Dec 24, 2022, 8:28 AM

#

#

If games still aren't loading, try Reloading Cache.
Launch WiiFlow, press HOME on the wiimote, select Reload Cache

warm ice Dec 24, 2022, 8:57 AM

#

Mf, Wiiflow doesn't even boot up now

#

@viral epoch help

warm ice <@105127322562084864> help

try deleting sd:/wiiflow/ and sd:/apps/wiiflow
then reinstall them from here:
https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow

You may need to also delete the save file for WiiFlow in Data Management. It can be deleted like any other wii game's save file would be deleted in the wii sysmenu's data management.

warm ice Dec 24, 2022, 9:22 AM

#

viral epoch try deleting `sd:/wiiflow/` and `sd:/apps/wiiflow` then reinstall them from here...

Same issue

love when this happens!

warm ice Dec 25, 2022, 5:05 AM

#

I'm actually sorry, I was trying to get help, since I was ignored for a while.

warm ice Dec 25, 2022, 6:19 AM

#

So any help is always appreciated.

warm ice I'm actually sorry, I was trying to get help, since I was ignored for a while.

I fell asleep cuz it was 2am when I was helping u.

Is WiiFlow actually loading or is the Wii crashing when you launch WiiFlow from the homebrew channel?

#

Need you to reiterate the issue you are experiencing

warm ice Dec 25, 2022, 6:32 AM

#

Wiiflow's boot screen shows up for a while, then goes back to Homebrew

viral epoch Dec 25, 2022, 6:32 AM

#

so WiiFlow doesn't actually load at all

warm ice Dec 25, 2022, 6:32 AM

#

Nope

viral epoch Dec 25, 2022, 6:32 AM

#

warm ice Nope

And you're loading it from the homebrew channel?

warm ice Dec 25, 2022, 6:32 AM

#

Yes

#

Should I show video proof?

viral epoch Dec 25, 2022, 6:33 AM

#

no

#

Did you delete the WiiFlow save in data management

warm ice Dec 25, 2022, 6:35 AM

#

Yes

viral epoch Dec 25, 2022, 6:37 AM

#

warm ice Yes

Okay maybe you re-installed WiiFlow wrong.

Send a screenshot of WiiFlow on your SD

warm ice Dec 25, 2022, 6:40 AM

#

viral epoch Dec 25, 2022, 6:44 AM

#

did u just film using bandicam

#

Considering upgrading to ShareX

warm ice Dec 25, 2022, 6:45 AM

#

viral epoch did u just film using bandicam

lazy to install OBS

#

so

#

anything right?

viral epoch Dec 25, 2022, 7:22 AM

#

It seems fine besides having a lot of extra files unrelated to the wii

warm ice Dec 25, 2022, 7:27 AM

#

oh, those are there, bc it's an SD card

warm ice Dec 25, 2022, 2:42 PM

#
